Chapter 145
“Okay.”
After dinner, Silvia sent Dulcie home. Reminded of Neil’s call, she casually said, “Oh yeah, Henry wanted to invite me for dinner today.”
Dulcie frowned, and her eyes were full of annoyance.
“Just ignore him. I’ve made it clear that I won’t be with him again, but he keeps coming to me. I can’t get rid of him!”
Silvia nodded. “Got it. I’ll support any choice you make.”
After that, she returned to the mansion.
Neil was sitting in the living room. He was obviously waiting for her.
Silvia walked up to him and sat down. “Why are you waiting for me, Mr. Remus?”
“Grandma’s birthday is coming up. Do you have any ideas for her birthday gift?”
She contemplated for a while before she nodded and said, “Yes, I have an idea. What do you plan on giving her?”
Neil frowned and looked at her. “Aren’t we going to share a gift?”
Silvia was surprised. “We’ve given her gifts separately all this while.”
“In that case, we’ll share a gift from this year onward.”
She hesitated and said, “We previously agreed that we would get a divorce after your legs heal. We don’t have to gift her as a couple-”
Before she could finish, Neil interrupted her coldly. “Are you so sure that my legs are going to heal? Don’t forget what Dr. Howard said. According to him, I’ll never stand up again!”
“Don’t worry. Your legs will definitely heal!”
When he saw the confidence in her eyes, his face was full of displeasure.
“I wonder how you can be so confident!”
Silvia heard the sarcasm in his tone and replied, “I’m telling you that your legs can heal, so why are you upset? Don’t you want to stand up again?”
Neil did not answer, but his expression was terrifying.
She remained silent and got up after a while. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to my room.‘
“Silvia.”
He stared at her intensely and asked, “Ever since you brought up the divorce, has your opinion on it
wavered at all?”
Silvia caught him staring, but she looked down and subconsciously clenched her fists.
A few moments later, she spoke with a firm expression, “No.”
Right after she said that, Neil’s mood soured incredibly, and the atmosphere in the living room became hostile.
She knew that he was angry, but she did not regret her answer.
She no longer wanted to be that pathetic Silvia who only cared about Neil in the past.
“I’m going back to my room. You should also rest early.”
Over the next few days, Silvia did not see him in the mansion. She initially thought that he was on a business trip, but she suddenly received a call from Winston.
“Silvia, what’s going on with Neil? He asked me not to massage him anymore.”
She frowned. “I’m not sure either. I’ll ask him and call you back later.”
She called Neil a few times, but he did not answer, so she tried Curtis instead.
“Mr. Harrell, has Mr. Remus gone on a business trip? I heard from Dr. Russell that Mr. Remus doesn’t want any more massages.”
Curtis remained silent for some time before he finally whispered, “Miss Pond, Mr. Remus isn’t on a business trip. He’s been at the company all this time. Did you have a fight?”
Silvia recalled their conversation that night and wondered if Neil got mad because of what she said.
“I wouldn’t consider it a fight. It’s just an unpleasant discussion.”
Curtis nearly cried as he held his phone. Was it really just unpleasant?
Neil had been in a bad mood recently, and the president’s office was gloomy every day. Whenever the department managers came upstairs to report their work, they would be terribly scolded. They
wanted to hide so badly so that Mr. Remus could not see them.
“Something’s wrong with Mr. Remus lately. Miss Pond, would you come over and ch*ck on him?”

Silvia frowned and replied after a short pause, “I’ll drop by after I clock off.”
“Okay.”
Curtis hoped that Silvia would be able to handle their conflict well so that the company’s employees would not have to work in fear.
After work, she immediately drove to Remus Corporation.
It was her first time visiting the company. Back when they were secretly married, Neil made it clear that she should not look for him at Remus Corporation. She did not want to make a fool out of herself
either.
Curtis came downstairs to pick her up. “Mr. Remus is still in a meeting. I’ll bring you to his office so that you can wait there.”
Silvia seemed indifferent. “No need. Just bring me to the lounge.”
Since she insisted on it, Curtis brought her to the lounge.
“Miss Pond, would you like some water or drinks?”
Silvia waved. “I don’t want anything. Please carry on with your work. You don’t have to look after me.”
“Okay. If you need anything, please just give me a call.”
Neil’s meeting ended an hour later. The moment he left the meeting room, Curtis stepped forward and said, “W Remus, Miss Pond is here.”
“Which Miss Pend.“”
“Miss Six”
“Where is she might now?”
“In the lounge”
Neil tumed his wheelchair and headed over. His eyes shone with surprise as soon as he pushed the door open
Silvia was leaning on the table and fast asleep.
“Mr. Remus-”
“Shunt up
He looked at Curtis and softly said, “Get a blanket.”
Hive minunes later, Neil slowly approached Silvia and gently put the blanket on her.
