Chapter 163: Chapter 163

Silvia frowned. “It’s probably because you two aren’t close. It takes him quite a while to warm up to someone, but once you become friends, he can be incredibly gentle.”

Isla shook her head. “I still think he treats you differently.”

At first, Silvia wanted to reveal how she had supported Chris during his lowest point. She had also been his behind-the-scenes agent for some time.

However, after some contemplating, she thought he might not want others to know about his past.

“Alright, let’s not dwell on it. What you’re saying can’t be true.”

Isla wanted to add, but the doorbell suddenly rang.

Silvia got up to answer the door. When she saw that it was Neil, she instinctively frowned.

“What brings you here, Mr. Remus?”

Neil appeared indifferent as he asked, “Why did you sell the mansion?”

Silvia did not expect him to find out so quickly. “Since you gave it to me, it’s technically mine now. I can decide to sell or keep it.”

“Have you started dating Chris?”

Silvia felt a bit puzzled as she faced his probing gaze.

“Mr. Remus, that doesn’t have anything to do with you.”

There was a cold glint in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Isla’s voice rang out in the living room.

“Silvia, is it Chris?”

Silvia was worried that Isla would misunderstand when she saw Neil. Therefore, she quickly explained, “No, it’s a door-to-door salesman.”

While she spoke, she pushed Neil out. She closed the door and said, “Mr. Remus, if there’s nothing else, please leave. I don’t want my friend to misunderstand.”

He sneered. “Are you sure you’re worried about that? Aren’t you more concerned about Chris getting the wrong idea?”

His words irritated Silvia, and she retorted, “Not everyone can move on to the next relationship right after a divorce like you!”

Neil frowned. Just as he was about to ask what she meant by that, he suddenly remembered running into her and Isla during dinner with Ada.

He cocked an eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Are you jealous?”

Apparently, she was not as unaffected as she seemed when other women were around him.

Silvia rolled her eyes. “Mr. Remus, your narcissism is problematic!”

“How’s your work been lately?”

His random question left her momentarily speechless.

“Why are you here?”

“No particular reason. Just checking in to see how you’re doing.”

“Thanks, I’m doing fine. I’d be better off if you didn’t show up.”

While they talked, the sound of footsteps drew near.

“Silvia, where are you?”

Her expression changed. She grabbed Neil by the hand and pulled him into a dimly lit area. Then, she stood at the door and answered Isla.

“The salesman just left. I’ll go in shortly.”

Isla opened the door, and she was relieved to see Silvia outside.

“If you don’t come in, I’ll think that you’ve been kidnapped!”

“Alright, I’ll head in soon. I had a drink and thought I’d take a walk.”

“Should I tag along?”

Silvia caught a glimpse of Neil’s shadow moving as if he was about to step out. Her heart raced. She immediately pushed Isla inside and locked the door.

“It’s okay. I’ll be back soon. Go ahead and take a shower first.”

The next second, she heard Isla’s voice behind the door.
