Dr. Irving did not say anything else. He left after he gave Ryan Arthurâs medicine.
As Ryan was getting ready to leave, the butler stopped him and said, âAt first, Mr. Anderson was happy that you were bringing Miss Pond back for dinner. But you really shouldnât be in a relationship with a married woman. Your grandfather is just looking out for you!â
âWhat do you mean?â
The butler sighed and explained, âThis afternoon, Mr. Remus visited. He told your grandfather that he hasnât divorced Miss Pond yet and that theyâre just having issues. He hopes that your grandfather can help keep you away from Miss Pond.â
Ryan felt a surge of anger. No wonder Arthurâs attitude changed abruptly. It turned out that Neil was causing trouble behind the scenes!
âI get it now. I know what to do.â
âThere are plenty of socialites in Ryoln City. Why do you insist on being with Miss Pond?â
Ryan left the mansion without responding.
He gave Silvia a call, and she picked up right before her phone stopped ringing.
âSilvia, Iâm sorry about today. I didnât expect my grandfather to treat you like that.â
Following a brief silence, Silviaâs calm voice came through, âItâs okay. But do we still have to pretend to be a couple?â
Their one month together would come to an end in a few days. Although Silvia could repay Ryan if she endured it for a while more, she felt a little tired.
âYes.â
When she heard Ryanâs response, she said, âI understand. Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?â
âNo.â
After the call ended, Ryan planned to confront Neil straight away. But soon, another idea came to mind.
Neil had been acting boldly because he and Silvia were not officially divorced. If they divorced for real, he would have no right to interfere in Ryanâs pursuit of Silvia.
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce With this realization, Ryan became determined and made up his mind.
The remaining days were peaceful, and before long, a month had passed.
On the evening of the last day, Ryan invited Silvia for dinner.
She felt that she needed to explain things clearly, so she went over.
âSilvia, I know that everything was fake, but I was genuinely happy being with you. Iââ
âMr. Anderson, I came here to make things clear. I donât have romantic feelings for you. I agreed to be your girlfriend for a month only to repay you.
From now on, we donât owe each other anything,â she calmly cut him off.
Ryan felt hurt and spoke in a lowered tone, âDuring our one month together, did you not feel anything for me? We got along so well, and I often saw your genuine smile.â
Silvia frowned. âMr. Anderson, Iâve always seen you as a friend and nothing more.â
Ryan wore a bitter smile and softly said, âOkay, I understand. After this meal, letâs continue being friends, alright?â
Seeing the hope in his eyes, Silvia nodded. âSure.â
They then finished their meal in silence. Ryan reluctantly said goodbye and drove away after he sent her home.
As Silviaâs figure gradually faded from his rearview mirror, his gaze turned solemn.
After his car disappeared, Silvia walked toward her mansion. As she reached the entrance, someone unexpectedly came out from the corner.
Realizing that it was Neil, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. âNeil, do you have to keep bothering me like this?â
The moment she finished her sentence, he grabbed her wrist.
Silvia looked up and met his furious gaze.
âWhy did you ask the security guard to keep me out?!â
