Chapter 49
His agent, Katherine Mason, knew that he had a crush on Silvia. “Why didn’t you tell her that bought the mansion next to hers?” she asked.
Chris shook his head. “It didn’t seem like the right time.”

At least, he had to wait until Silvia settled her mess of a relationship with Neil. It would just bother
her if he told her about his feelings before that.
Katherine laughed at him. “I’ve never seen anyone else who can keep his love this much of a secret. Keep this up, and you’re going to end up as a monk.”
Chris came from humble beginnings, so she did not support his feelings for Silvia at first.
Later on, he became part of Imperial City’s Rios Family, and he had the family protecting him. From then on, she no longer stopped him from pursuing Silvia.
“You should go back now. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning.”
When he returned to the mansion, Chris turned on the lights. He had the same layout and decor as Silvia did in her mansion. In fact, he even bought the books that Silvia liked. Some of them were no longer in the market, so he hired someone to look for them for a long time.
Even so, he still preferred to stay at her mansion because it had traces of her.
He wanted to be able to express the love in his heart one day.
Chris picked up a book and started reading. The moment he sat down on the couch, he received a call from the Rios Family’s butler, Mr. Grenning.
“Mr. Chris, the master’s condition has worsened. You should visit him. He’s been wanting to see you.”
His breathing became somewhat labored, but after a while, he spoke indifferently, “There are plenty
I people around him who care. He doesn’t need me to visit him.”

Mr. Grenning felt defeated, and he pleaded with him. “The master might have hurt you in the past, but he regrets it now. He also wants to hand over the Rios Family to you. You-”
However, Chris interrupted him with a scowl. “This has nothing to do with me. I don’t care for the Rios Family either. Don’t call me anymore!”
He hung up and tightened his grip on the book.
After some time had passed, he shut his eyes to hide the hatred within them.
By the tim
the time Silvia returned home, it was already past 10 p.m.
Right after she entered the living room, she saw Neil glaring at her.
“I thought you’d never come back.”
Silvia pretended not to hear him and started to walk up the stairs calmly.
“Stop!”
Silvia stopped and looked at him.
“What is it?”
“Stop meeting up with Chris Rios!”
Silvia sneered. “Sorry, that’s not possible.”
Neil scoffed. “Silvia, do I really have to teach you a lesson to make sure that you listen to me?”
Silvia glared at him. “What do you intend to do?”
His gaze was ruthless, and he gave off an imposing aura.
“I’m not going to do anything. I’m just going to cancel some of his shows and make sure that the ones he shot before won’t air on TV.”
Silvia’s expression finally changed, and she hissed. “You’re despicable, Neil Remus!”
“You’re calling me despicable because of some random man?! I’m your husband!”
Silvia gave him a look of ridicule. “You got yourself a mistress and allowed her to set me up. Then, you protected her. Yet, you call yourself my husband? You don’t even care about me! You even selfishly impose your opinions on me!“”
