Chapter 259
Silvia took a few bites and set down her spoon. “I’m full. Those people at my door should have left. I’ll head back to Elm Bay later.”
“No, you’re injured. You should stay here for a few days.”
“I’m not seriously injured, and I can take care of myself.” “I’m not negotiating.”
Silvia suddenly felt anger surging within her and coldly
said, “Mr. Remus, I hope you understand that there’s nothing between us anymore. You have no right to keep me here!”
She did not want to stay with him any longer for fear that her decision not to get back with him would weaken. However, he insisted on forcing her!
Neil’s expression turned cold. He put down the spoon and looked at her. “Don’t challenge my limits. I’m willing to give you freedom, but I can take it back any time.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Silvia felt something was off with his words, but she could not quite pinpoint it.
“Nothing. Just stay here for the next few days to recover. Even if you sneak back to Elm Bay, I can still bring you back.”
“Don’t push it too far!”
“If you don’t want me to push it too far, just be obedient.”
After saying this emotionlessly, Neil carried her in his arms and headed toward the bedroom.
Silvia was already angry, and Neil’s actions angered her further. She struggled and beat him.
“Let me go! B*stard! I can walk on my own!”
Neil suddenly stopped and looked at her with an intense gaze.
Silvia was a little frightened by his gaze. Worried that he would throw her down, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
He chuckled and whispered, “Silvia, you have been deliberately reminding me that we’re just friends with benefits. You don’t let me get close to you because you are afraid of falling in love with me again, right?”
Silvia froze for a moment and then angrily said, “Stop dreaming! I’ll never fall in love with you again! I know very well now that you are not my type!”
“Oh.”
Neil’s playful tone showed that he did not believe her.
Silvia clenched her teeth and said, “I mean it! There are plenty of good–looking guys out there. Why should I focus, on one person, especially one who isn’t a perfect match for me!” Neil stayed silent for a few seconds. He stared into Silvia’s eyes and said, “Psychology suggests that the more guilty a person feels, the more they try to prove themselves, and the more they talk.”
Chapter 257
Silvia did not dare to look at him and hurriedly averted her gaze. She sneered and sarcastically said, “Does psychology also say that narcissism is an illness?”
Neil did not answer her and continued, “Since you won’t fall in love with me again, there is no reason to be so guarded against me and afraid of my approach.”
Silvia sneered again. “Me not falling for you has nothing to do with my personal space.”
“How’s there no connection? If you won’t fall for me, you won’t feel anything no matter what I do, right?”
“What you said is all nonsense! I can’t be bothered to explain!”
Seeing Silvia’s face turn red, Neil did not continue to push her. After all, he had enough patience to let her fall in love with him again.
As soon as Neil put her on the bed in the bedroom, Silvia said impatiently, “Mr. Remus, you can leave now. I want to rest.”
“I’ll leave after helping you apply the ointment.‘
Silvia froze for a moment. She frowned and said, “Just ask the housekeeper to help me apply it.”
Her injury was on her back. If Neil was applying ointment for her, he would have to lift up her clothes.
The thought of that scene made Silvia’s face instinctively blush.
Neil’s expression turned cold. “That won’t do!”
“Why not?!”
“Only I can see your b*dy.”
