Chapter 137
Silvia was speechless.
When she noticed the way they were looking at her, she wanted to punch Isla.
David looked at the women in shock. Earlier, Isla had mentioned that she was a lesbian, but David did not believe her. Did she like Silvia?
“We’ll talk about this later. You should go home first.”
Isla seemed hurt. “Okay. Remember to call me whenever you miss me.”
“Okay.”
After Isla left, David came up with an excuse to leave the restaurant as well. He eventually stopped her by the road.
“Miss Connolly, I really like you. Why won’t you give me a chance?”
Isla was getting impatient. She was about to send him away when curiosity filled her eyes. She looked. at him and asked, “How do you know Silvia?”
“I’ll tell you if you agree to go on a date with me.”
Isla raised her eyebrows in disbelief and said, “Forget it. I’m not interested in men!”
After she spoke, she pulled open her car door and asked the driver to start driving. She did not even give David an opportunity to speak.
He smiled faintly as he watched the car’s tail lights drift away.
He loved a woman who was not easy to get!
Back in the restaurant, Ryan looked at Silvia and said, “Miss Pond, since you’re here, I won’t send
Neil home.”
Silvia nodded and politely answered, “Okay. Thank you, Mr. Anderson.”
When Ryan sensed the dissatisfaction in her tone, he was at a loss. He nodded and walked past her.
She looked at Neil and asked indifferently, “Where did your driver park the car, Mr. Remus?”
“How do you know Isla Connolly?”
Silvia frowned. “Please don’t ask me about my personal life, Mr. Remus.”

When he saw the unhappiness in her gaze, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the wheelchair’s
arm.
Ever since she brought up the divorce, she had been very cold and indifferent toward him. Sometimes, it would feel like they were growing closer, but she would immediately back away and keep a distance from him.
He looked down with a cold expression as he fell into deep thought.
Silvia did not say anything else as she pushed him out of the restaurant.
On the way back, both of them remained silent too.
Back at the mansion, Silvia had just sent Neil into his room when the doorbell rang
She saw Melanie and opened the door. Before she could speak, Melanie slapped her in the face.
Silvia had her guard down, so she did not immediately react. A handprint instantly appeared on her face as a result.
It was not enough for Melanie. She raised her hand to deliver another slap.
This time, Silvia took two steps back and avoided it. “Mrs. Remus, please behave yourself!” she said.
with disdain.
Melanie glared at Silvia as if she wanted to kill her.
“Behave myself? Silvia Pond, you’re the reason Neil’s partially paralyzed. I just slapped you in the face, so I’m not being harsh at all!”
She had been abroad all of this time. Out of the blue, she had received a call from Ada who stammered as she described Neil’s accident.
Melanie also learned that it had happened while he was on his way to submit divorce papers. This knowledge angered her so much that she nearly fainted, and she immediately booked the earliest flight back.
If she had known that Silvia would put him in such danger, she would not have allowed her to marry
him!
Just as Silvia was about to speak, Neil’s cold voice rang out behind her.
“Mom, haven’t you gone too far? You’ve slapped my wife in our own home!”
