Chapter 442
Silvia found it odd that he was so upset, but she did not dwell on it.
“Chris recently got hurt on set, and he’s moved into the mansion next door. When I came back today, I saw his agent dropping him off. She asked me to look out for him if he needed
anything. You’re not feeling jealous, are you?”
Even though Silvia was just teasing, Neil could not force a smile.
He randomly packed some food into the food container and coldly said, “I’ll take it to him.”
She was surprised.
“Mr. Remus, why the sudden change of attitude? I thought you didn’t like Chris.
“He’s your friend, and I believe nothing will happen between you two.”
After that, Neil walked out with the food container.
))
Silvia quickly stopped him. “Be a little friendlier when you talk. Otherwise, he’ll think that you’re looking for trouble.”
“Alright. Reheat the soup. I’ll be back soon,” he replied coldly.
“Okay.‘
Once he made sure that Silvia was not following him, Neil promptly knocked on Chris’s door.
Chris was surprised to see him.
“How can I help you, Mr. Remus?”
Chris was hostile. Even though he never expected anything in return for saving Silvia from the fire, he was not pleased with Neil and Alan’s scheme.
“Silvia asked me to bring you some food,” Neil said in displeasure.
The moment Chris heard this, his gaze softened.
“Give me the food and leave.”
Neil did not hand him the food container. Instead, he looked at Chris with a straight face. “Let’s talk.”
Chris chuckled. He leaned against the door and gave Neil a cold look. “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Remus? You and Alan hiding the fact that I saved Silvia? Or is it your deal with him?”
Neil’s expression grew colder as he listened to him.
His intense displeasure was almost strong enough to paralyze someone with fear.
“I know this is unfair to you, but it’s in the past. I don’t want Silvia to be reminded of such painful memories. Remus, Corporation recently invested in several big productions. I could ask the directors to select you as their male lead.”
Chris looked at Neil with mockery. “Mr. Remus, do you think you can offer me a few roles and make up for the fact that I saved Silvia?”

Neil glared at him in return. “Chris, don’t be too greedy, or you might end up with nothing.”
“It looks like you’re the greedy one.”
Chris held his cane tightly and said, “I saved Silvia because I wanted to. I never expected anything in return.”
He tried to close the door after that, but Neil blocked his attempt.
“If you don’t want anything in return, never bring this up in front of her!”
Chris’s voice was cold as he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Remus. My desire to keep her from getting hurt is greater than yours.”
If she found out that the man she liked had deceived her, it would break her heart. Chris did not want to see her sad, so he planned to bury the matter and prevent her from learning about it.
Silvia frowned when she saw Neil return with the food container. “Chris didn’t want it?”
Neil nodded. “Yeah. Let’s eat.”
“I’ll give it to him. It’s not easy for him to cook with his injury.”
As she picked up the food container, Neil grabbed her wrist.
“Silvia, even if he can’t cook, there’s food delivery. It makes me unhappy when you show so much concern for another man.”
She did not expect him to express his feelings so openly. Once she stopped being surprised, she put down the food container and nodded. “Alright.”
After they finished eating, Silvia asked him to rest in the bedroom. Meanwhile, she headed to the study to deal with some documents.
In the bedroom, Neil gave Curtis a call.
