Chapter 130
Silvia was taken aback. Given Neil’s personality, she thought that he would have thrown the necklace away. Yet, he still had it.
He picked up the necklace and said, “Let me put it on for you.”
“…Alright.”
She gathered her hair in one hand, and Neil leaned over to put the necklace on. They were so close that they could hear each other breathing.
It was not their first time being so close, but Silvia felt her face turn red for some inexplicable reason.
There was a cool sensation on her neck as Neil fastened the necklace. Then, the warmth of his breath on her face slowly faded as he distanced himself.
“There you go.”
His eyes lingered on her fair and slender neck. The necklace made it look more elegant like that of a white swan.
Silvia glanced at the necklace and complimented it sincerely, “It’s truly exquisite.”
“If you like it, why did you throw it away the last time I gave it to you?”
She fell silent for a moment and said, “Since we were getting a divorce, I wanted to sever all ties with you.”
Neil was clearly offended, and he angrily said, “I’m merely lending it to you for tonight. Since you’ve refused to accept it, I won’t give it to you again!”
appeared somewhat relieved and replied, “I understand.”
The relief in her eyes did not escape him, and his expression grew more unpleasant. Curtis maintained a serious expression, but he secretly relished the moment.
If Neil were not so stubborn, Silvia might not contemplate divorce every day.
Curtis placed the wheelchair by the car, and Neil managed to move himself by supporting his upper b*dy.
Silvia glanced at him and subconsciously clutched her bag.
He must have been doing a lot of exercises to build his upper strength.
She remembered the time when she touched his abs as she helped him wipe his b*dy. Her face turned slightly red.
Neil turned to her and coldly said, “What are you daydreaming about? Push me inside.”
She snapped out of her daze and met his gaze. Feeling somewhat guilty, she hurried out of the car.
She took the wheelchair from Curtis and pushed him into the mansion.
There were already numerous guests chatting in the hall. They were all dressed in elegant attire.
The guests who had received last–minute invitations were a bit puzzled. They wondered what the purpose of this dinner party was.
Since the Walls Family had significant influence in Ryoln City, everyone was happy to attend the event as a sign of respect for Nathan.
Upstairs, Snow sat on her bed and poured out her feelings to Ada. She expressed her anger at being unfairly treated..
“My dad threatened to kick me out if I didn’t apologize to that b*tch!”
A hint of surprise flashed in Ada’s eyes. She sighed and advised, “Snow, just apologize to her. You can think about retaliating later. After all, she’s found a way to deal with you. I don’t know what she told Neil, but he’s been acting distant with me too.”
Hatred filled Snow’s eyes, and she said, “Not only did she cause me to lose my role, but she also convinced my father that I should apologize to her in front of everyone I know. I won’t let this slide!”
“Let’s get through the dinner party first. You can’t let her affect your relationship with your father.”
“I understand. Ada, why don’t you head downstairs first? I need a bit of alone time to cool off.”
“Sure thing. If you’re still upset, just message me anytime. I’ll come up and keep you company right away.”
After she left, Ada bumped into Cora around the corner. Cora was delivering soup to her daughter.
“Hello, Aunt Cora.”
When Cora saw Ada, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. She looked at Ada with a faint smile, but it lacked her usual warmth.
