eil seemed hostile, and there was a weird undertone when he spoke.
Why did you keep staring at Liam during dinner? It’s as if he’s your boyfriend!”
ilvia laughed. She cocked her eyebrow in disbelief and asked, “You’re angry because of that?”
What else?”
Fine, fine. I was only looking at him because your grandmother wanted me to introduce a girl > him. But I don’t know anyone who’s suitable for him. So, I suggested that your
randmother host a dinner party to welcome him back to Ryoln City. That way, she can invite ome socialites to the party.”
leil sneered. “It sounds more like a ceremony for him to choose concubines.”
ilvia was at a loss of words.
fter a few moments of silence, she looked at him and said, “I realize that you don’t seem to ke Liam. Has he offended you before?”
No. We simply don’t get along.”
ilvia did not ask any more questions when she saw the unpleasant expression on his face.
When they reached Royal Vista, they bumped into Melanie, who was looking for Neil.
Melanie’s eyes darkened when she saw Silvia. She could not believe that Neil was actually back with her!
ilvia greeted Melanie with indifference because she knew that Melanie was not fond of her. he then turned around and spoke to Neil, “I’m heading to my room.”
Melanie suddenly stopped her with a smile. “It’s fine. I’m just here to pass some dumplings hat I’ve made for Neil. You can put them in the freezer. If you don’t want the helper to cook, ou can heat up some dumplings to eat.”
ilvia was somewhat surprised by her gesture. She did not understand Melanie’s change of ttitude.
/hen Melanie realized that Silvia was not accepting the dumplings, she smiled and said, ilvia, I did have my opinions of you in the past. However, I’ve been reflecting on it recently. our relationship is between the both of you, I shouldn’t get involved.”
ilvia did not know what Melanie’s true motive was, so she just took the dumplings from her.
Thank you for understanding.”
lelanie did not say anything else. She exchanged a few words with Neil before she left.
fter Silvia placed the dumplings in the freezer, she made plans to take a shower. The moment he turned around, Neil trapped her between himself and the refrigerator.
Neil, you-”
efore she could finish her sentence, Neil k*ssed her.
Ivia subconsciously grabbed his shirt and k*ssed him back.

Neil only let go of her when she was about to lose her breath.
“Move into my bedroom tonight.”
“No. We agreed that I’ll only stay here if I get my own room. You can’t go back on your own word.”
He lowered his head to look at Silvia. Her eyes were firm and unwavering.
“Fine.”
Silvia pushed him away and laughed. “Neil, we should freshen up and sleep.”
He grabbed her by the waist and k*ssed her again.
“This is my compensation for a lonely night.”
Silvia was just about to say something when Neil received a call.
Realizing that it was Curtis, he released her.
“Alright.”
Neil walked into the living room to answer the call, but it ended very soon, and he returned to the kitchen. It was unknown what Curtis had told him.
“There are some issues at the company. I have to go, and I’ll probably be back late at night. You should get some rest.”
Seeing his solemn expression, Silvia nodded and said, “Alright, you should go. Work is important.”
An inexplicable emotion flashed across Neil’s eyes. He grabbed her and k*ssed her again before he left.
Silvia suddenly stopped him when he reached the entrance.
“Wait a moment!‘
Neil immediately froze and subconsciously clenched his fists.
