The little girl cocked her head and thought for a while, then nodded happily. “I’m willing. I’ve never taken the bus before and I’d love to try it.”Ryan was speechless.After the little girl was done speaking, she tried to jump off his lap to pick out some clothes but Ryan stopped her and tried to persuade her gently. “Think about it, you’re wearing a beautiful and fashionable dress like a princess, but you have to squeeze with so many people on the bus. Your dress will be dirty in no time and your shoes will also be covered with dust. Are you sure you want to take the bus?”When the little girl heard that she would become unattractive, she instantly hesitated and blinked her big bright eyes as she pondered. Ryan was scheming, so he tried to strike while the iron was hot. “Listen to Papa tonight and do as I say. I will take you to buy beautiful clothes and dolls during the weekend, okay?”He had tried the sugarcoating trick on the little girl and succeeded many times. Not to
Fortunately, she received their love and patience so she was not too embarrassed in this marriage. When Silvia arrived at the ground floor of Nora’s place, the little girl was already waiting for her downstairs. She was wearing a pink puffy dress and white shoes, and she looked like a delicate little princess. Silvia automatically ignored the man standing next to her daughter and she simply walked directly to her daughter.The little girl was taken aback when she saw Silvia approaching because she had cut her hair short and changed her hairstyle. She then jumped over happily, hugged Silvia, and complimented her without hesitation, “Mommy, your hair is so beautiful.”Silvia was very happy to hear that. She picked her daughter up in her arms with a smile and asked, “Really?”“Yes, it’s beautiful. It’s really beautiful.”The little girl nodded vigorously. Silvia had always had long hair all these years, so the little girl had never seen her look like this before. She scratched her
Silvia bit her lip and hesitated. She knew that the little girl was instructed by someone to say this, but she still could not bear to refuse.In addition, the little girl was hugging her neck as she continued acting coquettishly. “Mama, is that okay? Is that okay?!”Silvia had no choice but to agree.“Okay.”Anyway, it was just a meal together so she would just treat it as if it was her last meal with him.In fact, Silvia was quite confused. Ryan did not love her and they were divorced, he should want to stay away from her and draw a clear line with her. So, why waste time to use their daughter as an excuse to spend time with her?After thinking about it, she then thought that it was maybe because he was too controlling. She said that she did not want him to pick them up so he wanted to pick them up. She could not resist or refuse. The mother and daughter got into Ryan’s car. Both of them sat in the back, and their daughter was in the safety car seat. The little girl focus
“I want to cut my hair! I don’t like long hair! I want a short haircut like Mama’s!”“Autumn!”Ryan was furious and yelled because of the little girl’s outburst. The little girl was not to be outdone, however; she crossed her arms in front of her chest, snorted coldly, and turned her head to the side. The father and daughter duo were in a stalemate just like that. Silvia pursed her lips without saying a word and looked out the car window from the sidelines. This was a problem between him and his daughter, so of course he had to solve it himself. She would take the initiative to help him in the past because she felt sorry for him, and she would try her best to maintain his image in front of their daughter because she did not want his relationship with his daughter to be very stiff. But she wouldn’t do so anymore. They were divorced now, and she would not feel sorry for him anymore. Ryan glanced at the mother and daughter in the back seat from the rearview mirror. One had tur
At the end of the meal, the little girl invited Silvia again with great anticipation, “Mama, can you have dinner with me again tomorrow night?”In fact, what the little girl wanted was to see Silvia again tomorrow night so she could go and get her hair cut. Silvia took a napkin and wiped the cause off the corner of the little girl’s mouth as she answered her in a gentle voice, “Mama is going to Aunt Miya’s place tomorrow, so I can’t have dinner with you.”After Silvia said that, Ryan, who was sitting opposite her, spoke up before their daughter could say anything. “What are you going to do there?”Silvia pretended not to hear his question and continued talking to her daughter. “You have to be good and listen to your grandmother when you live with her in the future. Mama will come and see you every week.”Ryan could not stay calm anymore. Judging from what she said, it seemed that she did not intend to stay in Detroit anymore?So, he put the knife and fork down, and asked coldl
This was because she would confront him tit for tat as soon as he spoke, and the two of them would quarrel. He did not want to quarrel with her but it seemed that every word he said was wrong in her eyes now. After several quarrels in a row, he felt embarrassed to talk to her now.He did not understand why their relationship ended up like this when she used to obey him.The car stopped at the ground floor of Rosaline’s apartment. Silvia simply thanked him and hurriedly opened the door to get out of the car, leaving Ryan with a view of her cold and slender back. Ryan did not know what he was feeling, but he only knew that his chest felt extremely uncomfortable. He stepped on the accelerator hard, and the black car disappeared into the night.Meanwhile, Silvia returned to Rosaline’s apartment. Rosaline had also just returned from the night shift and was cooking noodles for herself. Silvia ended up having a bowl of noodles as she did not eat much for dinner at all. She didn’t know
Silvia could not help but yell but those people were indifferent. She clenched her teeth. “I’ll call the police if you don’t get out of my way!”As Silvia spoke, she took out her cell phone to call the police but someone snatched her cell phone from behind her. She turned around angrily and saw Ryan standing there with a relaxed expression as he played with her cell phone in his hand.“Come on, don’t do all those useless things.”“It’s not as if you don’t know how powerful I am in Detroit. No one will care even if you call the police.”Silvia was trembling with anger.“Ryan Pierce, what do you want?!” “We are already divorced so we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Who are you to interfere with my personal freedom?!”“What do I want?”The corners of Ryan’s mouth curled into a smile and he looked at her exasperated look with a smug expression.“I don’t want anything; all I’m doing is for my daughter’s sake.”“You must appear in front of my daughter immediately whe
Ryan drove with a gloomy expression on the way back to the city from the airport. The scene where she had been angry and rude to him just now kept replaying itself in his mind, over and over again. She had been obedient and quiet as she stayed by his side in the past few years. He had never seen her so angry before. He had always deliberately hurt her and neglected her, even at the beginning of their marriage but she never once lost her temper. She was also known to be a good person in school in the past. Of course, she was the one who boasted and told him all this. He could also imagine how her bright and cheerful personality was pleasing to people. But he just forced a person who never knew what anger was, to hit him and curse at him.He thought of the tears in her eyes when she turned to leave and suddenly wondered if he had really gone too far. Her cell phone, which was placed on the passenger seat, suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Miya. Ry
