Idrisâs face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembled. âI know that youâre angry about what happened earlier, Mr. Remus. How about this? Iâll bring my wife to your house tomorrow and ask her to beg for your forgiveness.â
âI could forgive Mrs. Pond if it was just a careless mistake, but Iâm sure you know the truth,â Neil said indifferently.
When Idris realized that it was useless to beg Neil, he turned to Silvia. âYour mother knows sheâs wrong, Silvia. Can youââ
Silvia interrupted him without mercy and ignored his pleas. âNo, she has done similar things countless times. I tolerated her bias because she raised Ada, so she would naturally be more affectionate toward her. However, she tried to harm me on purpose today. I canât bring myself to forgive her.â
Idris looked defeated because he knew that Pond Corporation was doomed.
Soon after Silvia and Neil returned to the mansion, Ada arrived. She knew that Neil refused to meet her, but she waited at the door and refused to leave without meeting him.
Ignoring Ada, Silvia sat in the living room to watch TV after dinner and a bath.
Meanwhile, Neil made no comments and went back to work in the study.
It suddenly started to rain after 8 p.m.
Silvia walked to the window and saw Ada standing in the rain. She was drenched. She appeared persistent and pitiful at the same time. Silvia wondered if Neilâs heart would soften at the sight and he would finally meet her.
Back in the living room, Silvia sat on the couch to continue watching TV, but she could no longer focus. She kept wondering the same thing.
After all, Silvia had witnessed how affectionate Neil had been toward Ada. Back when they just got married, she accidentally ruined a photo he had placed on the bedside table. It was a group picture that included Ada. He was furious with Silvia, and he ignored her for half a month.
Although Neil had expressed his love for Silvia, she would still recall his past affairs from time to time. She would subconsciously feel that Neil would choose Ada every time Ada was involved.
âA penny for your thoughts?â Neilâs low voice startled her.
Silvia snapped back to reality and turned to him. She saw her reflection in his eyes as if she was the only one he cared about.
âThereâs nothing on my mind,â she slowly answered.

After a brief silence, Silvia could no longer hold back. âAdaâs been in the rain for more than half an hour now. Arenât you going to see her?â
Her probing tone made Neil look down at her. âDo you want me to go out?â
Silvia clenched her fists subconsciously and kept her head low. âI canât tell you that because I canât decide for you.â
He chuckled. âWho says you canât decide?â
His teasing made Silvia frown. âYouâd better go and meet her because she was your first love. Otherwise, youâll feel sorry for her if she falls sick,â she said grumpily.
Neil leaned his head against Silviaâs neck and whispered, âWhy are you jealous? Iâll ask the security guard to drive her away if you donât want to see her.â
âDonât you feel sorry for her?â
âYouâre the only one I care about. I donât have that much energy to care about others.â
Silvia turned to the TV calmly, but a smile inevitably formed on her face.
After they watched some TV, Silvia whispered her desire to go to bed because she was sleepy.
Neil swiftly carried her to her room. Once he put her in bed, he kissed her for a long time before he reluctantly released her. Then, he tucked her in and kissed her on the forehead.
âGoodnight. Iâll work a bit more since Iâm not sleepy.â
Silvia muttered a yes with her eyes closed. After that, she dozed off, so Neil wasnât sure if she had heard him or not.
He turned off the light with a chuckle and left her room.
