Chapter 56
Silvia seemed unbothered as she said, “I have nothing to say to you.”
“If you’re still angry about what happened last time, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”
Silvia looked at him in shock. She was not expecting him to apologize.
“Apology accepted. Can I leave now?”
Neil’s gaze intensified as he said, “You’re still angry.”
Silvia rolled her eyes at him. “You might have apologized, but I can still choose to be angry or not. It has nothing to do with
you.”
Soon after, she reversed her car and left.
From that day onward, Silvia did not meet Neil again. However, she would occasionally see him and Ada featured in entertainment magazines whenever they attended events together.
Silvia would only spare those articles a brief glance before she looked away without a care.
Half a month had passed, and Silvia was working overtime on a Friday.
By the time she went back home, it was past 10 p.m.
After her bath, she planned to do some reading before going to bed. However, someone knocked on her door.
She frowned when she saw Neil through the peephole.
Silvia pulled her sleep robe tighter around herself and opened the door with an aloof expression. Just as she was about to speak, she smelled alcohol.
“You’ve been drinking?”
Neil’s eyes were slightly glazed over, which suggested some degree of tipsiness. However, his face was not flushed, so it looked as if he was still sober.
“Silvia, do you remember what day it is today?”
After some thinking, Silvia remembered that it was their third wedding anniversary.
She had been really busy with work lately. This was no longer a concern for her, so she had forgotten about it.
Impatience flashed in her eyes. “If you’re just here to waste your breath on this, you can leave now. I’m going to bed.”
Neil stared at her as he put his hand on the door. “Do you know that it’s our wedding anniversary today?”
Silvia scowled. “Yes. What of it? You never cared. Why are you here pretending like you do now?”
Neil did not get angry. Instead, he chuckled.
“I’ve prepared a gift for you. What about you?”
“I don’t need it. Leave-”
Before Silvia could finish talking, Neil grabbed her waist and closed in on her.
When she felt the warm brush of his l*ps, she realized what happened and pushed him away. “Have you lost your mind?!”
She wiped her mouth, but her actions only served to anger Neil. He grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall before he k*ssed her again.
Silvia tried to fight back, but Neil kept her tightly pinned against the wall.
She was furious. She bit him, and their mouths were instantly filled with the taste of blood.
Neil let her go and looked at her before he whispered, “Since you didn’t prepare a gift for me, I’ll take this k*ss as
“You’re mad!”
As she tried to push him away, she suddenly felt a cold sensation around her neck.
She touched it and found that it was a necklace. She wanted to take it off, but Neil grabbed her hand.
“If you take it off, I’m going to k*ss you again.”

Silvia stopped moving, but she glared at him. “Are you drunk?”
Why else would he be acting so strangely tonight?
Neil grabbed her chin and forced her to look him in the eye.
“Even if you were truly angry, you should have calmed down after such a long time.”
Silvia shoved him off and said, “Neil, I’m not throwing a hissy fit. I just don’t want to be anywhere near you.”
Neil’s gaze turned icy. He did not expect Silvia to treat him so coldly even though he had humbled himself to get into her good.
