Silvia slept well.
When she woke up the next morning, she saw a handsome face before her. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly remembered what had happened last night.
She tried to pull away from Neilâs embrace. However, he opened his eyes when she moved his hand from her waist.
They locked eyes, and the atmosphere got somewhat awkward.
Silvia was about to speak when Neil closed his eyes again and pulled her back into his arms.
âYou should get more sleep.â
His voice was husky, and it had a mysterious charm.
âNow that youâre up, please release me. I need to get up and get ready.â
After a brief silence, he opened his eyes and looked at her with a clear gaze.
âSilvia, I remember what you said last night. You still want me.â
She frowned and said, âThatâs because you had a fever last night, and I didnât want to argue with a sick person. Donât take my words so seriously.â
She got out of bed after she pushed him away and fixed her somewhat disheveled clothes.
âBut Iâve already taken them seriously. Silvia, canât you give me another chance?â
Silvia turned to him and spoke indifferently, âYour medicine is on the table. Iâve written down the dosage and consumption time.â
Neil panicked when she walked away. He quickly got out of bed and chased after her.
Hearing the hurried footsteps behind her, Silvia attempted to turn around. Just then, Neil hugged her from behind, and the scent of pine from his body instantly surrounded her.
âSilvia, you still have feelings for me, donât you?â
She lowered her gaze. âEven if I do, I donât want to be with you anymore.â
Neil instinctively hugged her tighter and whispered, âI promise you that once the issue with Liam is resolved, Iâll cut ties with Ada. I wonât have any more dealings with her. When she approached me the other day, she wanted to exchange some videos she had secretly filmed of Liam for five percent of Remus Corporationâs shares.
âI admit that it was my fault for forgetting my phone. From now on, Iâll make sure to keep it with me at all times, okay?â
His voice was deep, and he sounded sincere.
Silvia started to waver. In fact, after she found out what had happened while she was away, she was no longer upset with him.
Although she was disappointed that he did not answer her calls, she realized that things must have also been tough for him lately. Besides, she had not been there for him either.
With that in mind, Silvia whispered after a moment, âOkay.â
She decided to give them another chance. This time, she would trust him and avoid doubting him without reason.
âBut if you break your promise, Iâll disappear from your life.â
When Neil heard this, he suddenly felt uneasy for some reason. He slowly tightened his grip on her hand.
âOkay. I wonât let you down again.â
âNow, can you let go of me?â
âCan you stay and keep me company today? Iâm still not feeling well.â
Silvia frowned. âIâll freshen up and make you some porridge later.â
The disappointment on his face instantly disappeared, and he broke into a rare smile.
âSure.â
After she left the bedroom, Neil entered the bathroom to freshen up.
When he came out, the porridge was already cooking, and Silvia was busy chopping up some vegetables.
As she worked in the kitchen, Neil leaned against the doorway and looked at her with a gentle gaze.

Silvia frowned when she noticed that his face was still red from the fever.
âThat wonât be necessary. Iâll be done soon. Take your medicine and check your temperature.â
âOkay.â
After breakfast, she told him to lie in bed and continue resting.
Neilâs temperature was not as high as it was yesterday, and he was thinking more clearly.
âBy the way, how did you convince Liam to not fire those employees yesterday?â
