Chapter 164
Silvia’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it, “You have quite the imagination. I just want to
go on a walk by myself. It’s all because of what you said earlier, you know? I have to think about some
stuff.”
After a while, Isla said, “Alright, take your time. I’m going to take a shower first.”
Silvia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Isla walk away. Neil then walked out with a displeased expression.
“Why didn’t you just tell her it was me?”
“Mr. Remus, you’re my ex–husband. She might misunderstand if she sees you.”
He frowned. “Just because we’re divorced, we can’t meet anymore?”
“We can but not in the middle of the night.”
Neil sneered. “Oh, it’s okay for Chris to visit you at night, but it’s not okay for me?”
“Of course. He’s my friend. If you’re done, please leave.”
Seeing her critical look, his eyes turned cold.
“Silvia, you’ve gone too far!”
She glared at him in return. “I’ve gone too far? You came to my doorstep in the middle of the night. You should be grateful that I haven’t called the police to arrest you!”
He was rendered speechless.
in the morning, and I don’t have time for this. Don’t bother coming over unless you
“I have
have a real reason.”
With that, Silvia walked into the mansion and slammed the door shut.
The moment she entered the living room, she found Isla standing nearby with a faint smile.
She was taken aback. “Why are you here? Didn’t you go off to take a shower?”
“I was waiting for you. Tell me who was outside just now.
Silvia averted her gaze. “Who are you talking about? There was no one outside.”
“Don’t play dumb.”
Isla grinned and pretended to walk toward the door. “He probably hasn’t left yet. I might still catch a glimpse of him if I open the door now.”
Silvia hurried to stop her and spoke in resignation, “Fine, I’ll tell you.”
“Hurry up!” Isla gave her a teasing look with eyes full of curiosity.
“It was my ex–husband.”
Nell?”
Isla was stunned, but she frowned and asked, “Wasn’t he having dinner with your sister earller? Why did he suddenly show up at your doorstep? Does he want to get back together with you?”
“You really have a wild imagination.”
“What other reason would a guy have for coming to see a woman?”
Silvia pondered about it and slowly said, “Maybe he was just bored.”
“Can’t you think of something more positive?”
“Like what?”
“Like he’s in love with you!”
Silvia fell silent for a moment and responded calmly, “There’s no way he’s in love with me,”
Isla frowned. “Come on! Have some confidence in yourself!”
“It’s not about confidence. I know him well. We were secretly married for three years, and he never fell in love with me the entire time. How could he suddenly fall in love with me right after our divorce?”
Isla spluttered and had no idea how to respond.
She did not know much about their marriage, so she could not comment on it.
“Forget it. There are plenty of men out there. You can meet more of them now that you’re divorced!”
