Chapter 252
Neil remained indifferent as he replied, “I have no objection.”
“Alright, Liam will start working at Remus Corporation tomorrow.”
With that settled, Abalene stood up and said, “I’m getting tired. You all should go back and rest. Silvia, come with me. I need to talk to you.”
Silvia followed Abalene. In Abelene’s bedroom, she looked at Silvia intently and asked, “Silvia, is there no chance for you and Neil to get back together?”
She genuinely liked Silvia and got along well with her, so she wanted to help Neil reconcile with Silvia.
Silvia pursed her lips, nodded, and said, “Yes, Madam Remus. Mr. Remus and I are not meant to be. He likes Ada. It’s better for us to go our separate ways.
“But from what I see, he likes you now.”
Abalene’s words made Silvia’s heart skip a beat.
Would Neil like her?
“You got it wrong, Madam Remus. He’s just showing concern for me because I suddenly decided to leave him, and he can’t get used to my absence yet. He can’t possibly like me.”
Abalene held Silvia’s hand and slowly said, “If he really likes you, would you be willing to give him another chance?”
Silvia lowered her head. After a moment of silence, she shook her head.
“Madam Remus, my love for him has faded over the past three years. I don’t want to go.
through that disappointment again.”
Abalene sadly patted Silvia’s hand and said, “I understand.”
Seeing Abalene’s disappointed expression, Silvia felt a bit remorseful. But rather than give Abalene false hope, it was better to help her accept reality.
When Silvia left Abalene’s bedroom, Neil was left in the living

done talking with my grandmother?”
He looked down at her. The soft light from the ceiling poured over his head. His usually cold eyes carried a hint of tenderness that made her heart race.
“I’ll drive you back.”
Neil’s voice snapped Silvia out of her thoughts. She promptly regained her responded casually, “Sure, okay.”

Silvia realized she had been considering getting back together with Neil lately. a good sign. It looked like she needed to find a way to stay calm.
It was not
Both of them stayed silent on the way back.
The car stopped at the mansion’s entrance. When Silvia was about to get out, Neil suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Silvia was surprised by his action. Just as she was about to ask him about it, he unexpectedly k*ssed her.
She was momentarily taken aback. Before she could push Neil away, he withdrew on his own. “I’m leaving for a business trip to Malland tomorrow. It’ll probably take a week.”
Silvia frowned. “You don’t have to tell me about it.”
“But I want to tell you.”
Silvia raised her head and met Neil’s tender gaze. She coldly said, “Mr. Remus, if you continue to act like this, we might need to end our current relationship.”
Neil wore a self–deprecating smile. He averted his gaze and softly said, “I get it.”
“Thank you for taking me back.”
After that, Silvia got out of the car and left without looking back.
Neil stayed in the car for a few minutes before driving away.
The mansion was pitch–black Apparently, Isla was at another event.
Silvia did not turn on the lights. She sat on the couch, closed her eyes, and recalled her time with Neil during this period.
Her once firm decision not to get back together with Neil probably wavered when she saw him unexpectedly appear in the flood.
She slowly opened her eyes and made a decision. She could not continue like this, or she would eventually fall in love with him again!
The next morning, right after Silvia got to the office, Sigwald came to talk to her.
