Silvia frowned and spoke impatiently, âNeil, weâre divorced. I donât think I owe you an explanation.â
âSil...â
Silvia did not give him a chance to say anything else. She walked into the mansion and slammed the door shut.
Neilâs expression darkened. He took out his phone to call her, but it suddenly rang.
Right after he answered it, the housekeeper from Harmony Yard spoke.
âMr. Remus, Madam Remus would like to see you.â
An hour later, he stepped into Harmony Yard and instantly heard Abaleneâs voice.
âNeil, I heard that you approached Silvia again.â
Neil froze for a while before he quickly walked toward Abalene and sat across from her.
âGrandma, I agreed to divorce Sil, but that doesnât mean Iâll let go of her.â
Abalene frowned and said, âShouldnât you consider her safety? Donât think that youâll be able to protect her. People from Imperial City are targeting you now. If you continue to approach Silvia, youâll only put her in more danger!â
Neil took a deep breath before he looked at Abalene and slowly said, âGrandma, weâre divorced. Perhaps sheâll fall for someone else after some time.â
âIf she falls for someone else, it just means you werenât meant to be. In the past, I asked you not to learn about the secret key, but you insisted on getting involved. Are you trying to get Silvia involved too?â
Neil remained silent for a few seconds. His eyes were full of resentment, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
âCanât I be with the one I love just because I carry the familyâs mission?â
âYou canât! On top of that, youâll have to think of a way to make her give up on you. Itâll be better for both of you.â
âI canât do it!â
Neil was tense, and his expression was grim. Asking him to give up on Silvia hurt more than killing him.
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce He could not imagine spending the rest of his life without her.
Abalene stared at him sternly. âYouâll have to do it even if it seems impossible! Donât forget that you agreed to divorce Silvia because you wanted to protect her. You could have put her in greater danger when you visited her tonight. You can either be with her and risk getting her killed or totally let go of her so that sheâll stay out of danger completely. Youâd better think about it!â
After that, Abalene got up and left.
Neil sat in the living room for a long time and appeared visibly upset. The servants dared not approach him.
The housekeeper helped Abalene back to her bedroom and said, âMadam Remus, I think Mr. Remus really cares for Miss Pond. He only smiles when sheâs around. Now, he either shows no emotion or wears a cold expression. Iâve watched him grow up, so I hope that heâll be happy one day.â
Abalene shook her head and sighed emotionally.
âI wish that he were born in an ordinary family. That way, he wouldnât have to bear the responsibility of the secret key, and he could also be with the woman he loved. But thatâs not possible. Those people in Imperial City are demons. If Silvia continues to be with him, sheâll be in danger one day. He canât have any weaknesses!â
The housekeeper shook her head in silence and went downstairs.
Abalene woke up early the next morning. She saw that Neil was still sitting in the same position on the couch. He clearly did not sleep last night, and she felt sorry for him.
âNeilââ
Before she could finish speaking, Neil interrupted her. âGrandma, Iâve made up my mind. I wonât pester her anymore.â
Even though Abalene saw the determination in his eyes, she did not feel good about it.
âNeil, Iâm glad that youâre thinking this way. You and Silvia were never meant to be. When she loved you, you didnât love her. Once you loved her, she decided to leave you. Youâre not destined to walk the same path.â
Neil closed his eyes and tried hard to ignore his heartbreak.
