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
“That should be it. Didn’t she say the other day that she had long accepted the divorce and given up on Ryan Pierce? She won’t do anything stupid.”Ryan glanced at Miya’s words as he was waiting for the traffic light, and his face turned gloomy once more.Wendy then added, “I got it! Could it be that she’s with Ethan now, so it’s inconvenient for her to answer our phone calls?”Miya and Jane sent a question mark in reply at the same time. Wendy quickly explained, “Caleb told me that after Ethan heard that she got divorced, he didn’t even bother to shoot commercials anymore. Could it be that Ethan rushed back to find her?”Ryan frowned. Ethan?The name sounded familiar, but he could not remember who it was. When Wendy mentioned something about shooting commercials, Ryan gradually had an impression in his mind.Ethan was a very popular celebrity now. He vaguely remembered that when she was pestering him, there seemed to be a person named Ethan who was pursuing her. After they g
Heh!No wonder she was so anxious to divorce him. It turned out that she had a backup plan.Ryan always thought that he was calm and rational but at this moment, he felt that he had lost control of his mind. He took her cell phone, pressed the voice recording button, and spoke indifferently. “I’m Ryan Pierce.” As soon as he said this, the group was silent and no one spoke for a long time.It was Wendy who came back to her senses and asked him angrily, “Ryan Pierce?! What are you doing? Why is Silvia’s cell phone with you? You’re already divorced!”Wendy did not intentionally remind him that they were already divorced but once she did, Ryan felt blood surging up his body in anger as he sneered and said, “She’s on my bed now. She fell asleep because she’s tired.”He then pressed the off button to turn off her cell phone and threw it aside angrily. After that, he started the car and drove away. As soon as Ryan’s extremely ambiguous and provocative words came out, the other thre
Ryan did not say anything. He walked to the wine cabinet in Julian’s luxurious lounge, took out a glass and poured himself some wine before gulping it down.Julian glanced at the two cell phones he had placed on the table, one of which was obviously a lady’s cell phone.He raised his chin as he gestured at the woman’s cell phone.“What’s the meaning of this? If I remember correctly, this cell phone belongs to your ex-wife, Miss Alberich.”After being scolded by Silvia at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Department last time, Julian consciously addressed her as Miss Alberich and stopped addressing her as sister-in-law. Otherwise, if he were to accidentally address her as sister-in-law if they met again one day, he would be even more embarrassed then. Julian was really good at poking at other people’s weaknesses and soft spots. The word ‘ex-wife’ made Ryan turn around and glare at him fiercely, wishing to tear him apart. Julian spread his hands innocently, and Ryan was so angry
Julian was also helpless.He had always been a spontaneous person and he thought that all of this was perhaps fate.Everything was up to fate, not the person themself.Ryan glared at him furiously.“Would I still need to ask you if I knew why?” They were still fine on the night before the old man’s birthday banquet, but she filed for a divorce on the day of the birthday banquet. Julian looked at him, raised his brows, and asked, “Is she involved with another man?”Ryan was about to explode out of anger, but his first reaction was to think of Ethan. But he thought that was impossible; Her life was focused on their daughter and him, and their life was so harmonious. There was no way she had the energy to go out and deal with other men.Julian asked again, “Are you involved with another woman?”“No!” Ryan denied angrily. “That’s strange.”Julian was puzzled. He rubbed his chin and analyzed the matter logically. “According to the survey, the biggest reason for a marriage
