Chapter 310
Idris’s face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembled. “I know that you’re angry about what happened earlier, Mr. Remus. How about this? I’ll bring my wife to your house tomorrow and ask her to beg for your forgiveness.”
“I could forgive Mrs. Pond if it was just a careless mistake, but I’m sure you know the truth,” Neil said indifferently.
When Idris realized that it was useless to beg Neil, he turned to Silvia. “Your mother knows. she’s wrong, Silvia. Can you-”
Silvia interrupted him without mercy and ignored his pleas. “No, she has done similar things countless times. I tolerated her bias because she raised Ada, so she would naturally be more affectionate toward her. However, she tried to harm me on purpose today. I can’t bring myself to forgive her.”
Idris looked defeated because he knew that Pond Corporation was doomed.
Soon after Silvia and Neil returned to the mansion, Ada arrived. She knew that Neil refused to meet her, but she waited at the door and refused to leave without meeting him.
Ignoring Ada, Silvia sat in the living room to watch TV after dinner and a bath.
Meanwhile, Neil made no comments and went back to work in the study.
It suddenly started to rain after 8 p.m.
Silvia walked to the window and saw Ada standing in the rain. She was drenched. She appeared persistent and pitiful at the same time. Silvia wondered if Neil’s heart would soften at the sight and he would finally meet her.
Back in the living room, Silvia sat on the couch to continue watching TV, but she could no longer focus. She kept wondering the same thing.
After all, Silvia had witnessed how affectionate Neil had been toward Ada. Back when they just got married, she accidentally ruined a photo he had placed on the bedside table. It was a group picture that included Ada. He was furious with Silvia, and he ignored her for half a month.
Although Neil had expressed his love for Silvia, she would still recall his past affairs from time to time. She would subconsciously feel that Neil would choose Ada every time Ada was involved.
“A penny for your thoughts?” Neil’s low voice startled her.
Silvia snapped back to reality and turned to him. She saw her reflection in his eyes as if she was the only one he cared about.
“There’s nothing on my mind,” she slowly answered.
Neil stopped asking any more questions and held her waist as he sat with her. “What show is this? I’ll watch it with you.”
After a brief silence, Silvia could no longer hold back. “Ada’s been in the rain for more than half an hour now. Aren’t you going to see her?”
Her probing tone made Neil look down at her. “Do you want me to go out?”
Silvia clenched her fists subconsciously and kept her head low. “I can’t tell you that because I can’t decide for you.”
He chuckled. “Who says you can’t decide?”
His teasing made Silvia frown. “You’d better go and meet her because she was your first love. Otherwise, you’ll feel sorry for her if she falls sick,” she said grumpily.
Neil leaned his head against Silvia’s neck and whispered, “Why are you jealous? I’ll ask the security guard to drive her away if you don’t want to see her.”
“Don’t you feel sorry for her?”
“You’re the only one I care about. I don’t have that much energy to care about others.”
Silvia turned to the TV calmly, but a smile inevitably formed on her face.
After they watched some TV, Silvia whispered her desire to go to bed because she was sleepy.
Neil swiftly carried her to her room. Once he put her in bed, he k*ssed her for a long time before he reluctantly released her. Then, he tucked her in and k*ssed her on the forehead.
“Goodnight. I’ll work a bit more since I’m not sleepy.”
Silvia muttered a yes with her eyes closed. After that, she dozed off, so Neil wasn’t sure if she had heard him or not.
He turned off the light with a chuckle and left her room.
