Chapter 460
After Silvia and Neil left the banquet hall, they did not return home. Instead, they went to a
restaurant.
During their meal, Silvia complained, “It’s a good thing that we left early. Otherwise, we would only be having desserts. They’re in no way filling.”
Seeing a small sauce stain at the corner of her mouth, Neil reached out and wiped it off for her. He smiled and said, “Eat slowly. Your food’s not running anywhere.”
Silvia’s face suddenly turned red, and she started to chew a lot more slowly.
Thus, the two of them sat opposite each other, with one eating and the other looking on with a doting expression. The atmosphere was pleasant and cozy.
After they finished their meal, Neil’s cell phone rang before they could leave.
He was surprised to see that it was a call from David.
As soon as he answered it, David’s voice rang out.
“Neil, we’ll be waiting for you at our usual place.”
Neil glanced at Silvia and whispered, “Okay. I’ll send Silvia back first.”
After he hung up, he met Silvia’s puzzled gaze and slowly said, “I’ll send you back and meet up with David and the others.”
Silvia nodded. “Alright.”
Once he dropped her off, Neil drove straight to the bar.
Just as he pushed open the door, he heard David’s teasing voice.
“Neil, I never thought I’d see the day that Mr. Walls would look down on you. Hahaha. You were quite patient too. Based on your history, the Walls Family should be bankrupt by now because he messed with you.”
Neil glanced at him coldly and walked straight to the center seat. “Liam recently discovered my underground forces. If I make a move against the Walls Family, he’ll notice immediately,” he said in displeasure.
“Okay. In that case, what do you plan to do about Elaine? Although we all know that you wouldn’t be interested in a woman like that, a lot of people believe her. It’s not good for your reputation.”
“Do you think I care about my reputation?”
David fell silent.
He indeed did not care much about it.
Ryan, who was on the side, frowned. “Even if you don’t care, you should think about Silvia. When others insult you, they’ll drag her name in the mud too.” He sounded unhappy.
Right then, Neil’s displeasure intensified. “I’ll solve this matter myself. I don’t need you to worry about it.”

Seeing that things were gradually getting tense between them, David quickly said, “Alright. We came here to drink today. Let’s not talk about this.”
Neil picked up the glass of wine in front of him and downed it in one go. Then, he got up and said, “I’ve drunk the wine, so I’m going back. You guys can keep drinking. Put it on my tab.”
After that, he left.
When the door shut, David looked at Ryan and sighed. “Ryan, it’d be best if you didn’t bring Silvia up when Neil’s around next time. You like her after all, so he’ll definitely feel uncomfortable with it.”
Ryan took a sip of wine and calmly said, “I’ve told him before. If he treats her badly, I won’t hesitate to take her from him.”
“There are so many women in Ryoln City. Can’t you like someone else?”
He really did not want to see his two friends fall out over a woman.
Ryan looked at him and slowly asked, “Can you give up on Isla and like someone else?”
David’s expression instantly changed.
Ryan then left without another word.
Henry patted David on the shoulder and said, “You can advise them on anything, but you can’t advise them about matters of the heart. Don’t get involved. Otherwise, you might end up on both their bad sides.”
David just drank in silence.
Henry was also in a bad mood. He poured himself more wine and drank with him.
Two days ago, Dulcie had invited him to dinner to thank him for saving her. When he received her message, he was a happy lad. He even spent a few hours at home picking out his outfit and styling his hair.
However, when arrived at the restaurant, he saw Ethan sitting next to her. It felt like his whole b*dy had been doused with a pot of cold water.
He had no idea how he even finished his meal. He only remembered Dulcie and Ethan’s intimate interactions.
He could see that she was really happy right now. Her gaze toward Ethan was full of tenderness and joy. It was to the point that her eyes seemed to sparkle.
