Chapter 162
Neil dropped his phone in his pocket and looked at the offended Ada.
In the past, he would have consoled her, but now, he only felt irritable.

“Ada, I’m taking you out for a meal to thank you for the hard work you put into my grandmother’s birthday party. That’s all.”
Ada smiled bitterly. “Even though you’ve divorced her, I still don’t stand a chance, do I?”
She lowered her head and subconsciously clenched her fists. She could accept losing to anyone but Silvia! Why did it have to be her?
After a brief silence, he said, “Ada, I only think of you as a good friend.”
Tears welled up in her eyes. “Neil, I can never see you as just a friend. I’ve dated you in the past and fallen in love with you. I can’t go back to treating you as a friend. If I had not gotten mad at you
and
returned earlier, you wouldn’t have fallen in love with Silvia, would you?”
“Ada, there are no ‘ifs‘ in this world.”
“But Silvia doesn’t love you, and you two are divorced.”
Neil’s expression turned cold, and he said, “We just have a misunderstanding. Once we resolve it, we’ll be together again.”
Ada shook her head. “You don’t know her. Once she makes up her mind, she never looks back.”
It took her great efforts to make sure that Silvia and Neil got a divorce. She would not let them get back together!
“This has nothing to do with you.”
Neil looked at her with an unfriendly gaze.
It was a look that Ada had never received from him before. She was extremely hurt.
She stood up and took a deep breath. “Neil, I’m tired. Please send me back.”
He stood up and walked out of the restaurant without a word.
She wen
wept on the way back, but he did not attempt to comfort her as he normally would.
When the car stopped in front of the Pond Family’s mansion, Ada turned to him with red, swollen eyes. “Neil, I’ll wait for you. I won’t give up!”
Then, she quickly got out as if she was worried that Neil might say something to hurt her even more.
Neil returned to the mansion. When he noticed that the lights were off, he called Curtis and learned that Silvia had moved back to the mansion in North City.
He immediately drove to North City. Not long after he stopped in front of her mansion, he saw Chris

knocking on the door with a plate of fruits, Silvia soon opened the door and let him in.
Neil’s blood boiled, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
They had just gotten a “divorce,” yet Silvia had forgotten his warning and boldly interacted with
Chris!
She was truly audacious!
He gave Curtis a call and coldly said, “Arrange something for Chris right now! It would be even better if it forces him to leave Ryoln City immediately!”
Meanwhile, Silvia, Isla, and Chris were playing poker in the living room.
Isla and Chris had recently worked on the same movie. However, they only found out that they both knew Silvia half an hour ago. Since they were all friends, Isla invited Chris over for a casual get- together.
Suddenly, Chris’s phone rang.
His expression changed as he answered the call.
“Sorry, I have an urgent matter to attend to. Let’s hang out next time.
Seeing that he was in a rush, Silvia nodded and said, “Alright. Go ahead and take care of business.”
Once he left, Silvia and Isla stopped playing poker. They cleared the table and settled on the couch to
watch TV.
“Silvia, do you think Chris has a crush on you?
Silvia was munching on some watermelon, and she almost choked on it.
She eventually swallowed it and turned to Isla in surprise. “Have you been watching too many romantic dramas lately?”
“No. I mean, do you know how reserved Chris usually is? On set, he barely says a word apart from when he’s filming. Even when someone initiates a conversation with him, he keeps it short and always maintains a certain distance.
“Even though we’ve worked on the same movie, I’ve rarely seen him smile.”
Yet, when they played poker earlier, Chris’s smile was genuine. It was different from his usual aloof demeanor.
