Chapter 62
With a frown, Silvia turned to Chris and said, “Thank you for your help, but I really don’t want you to meddle. This is a private matter, after all.”
The displeasure in her eyes pierced his heart, and his face turned pale.
She stepped into the elevator without another word, and Neil followed her.
Chris just stood outside with his head lowered. Silvia could not see his expression, but she knew her words had wounded him.
As the elevator doors closed, Neil sneered and said, “You’re afraid that I’ll harm him. That’s why you said those things to distance yourself from him. It looks like you really care about that man.” 1
She turned to him indifferently. “It’s none of your business.”
“Shut up!”
Neil’s patience had grown thin during his recent conflicts with Silvia. If she continued to remain so distant, he did not know
what he would do.
Silvia appeared unconcerned and looked at him with resignation. “What the hell do you want?”
He glared at her and said, “Come back to me, and I’ll pretend that nothing ever happened.”
She lowered her head and contemplated. After a while, she said, “That’s impossible. Our only option is a divorce.”
“Silvia Pond! How many times do I have to explain? There’s nothing between me and Ada! Why are you still hung up on it?!”
Silvia took a deep breath and shook her head. “I’m not hung up on it. I just want a divorce. That’s all.”
“No way!”
“If you won’t agree to a divorce, how about we consider an open marriage? We won’t meddle in each other’s relationships.”
Neil looked deeply into her eyes. He could see his reflection in them, but there was no longer any love.
“An open marriage?”
He repeated her words angrily.
Silvia nodded. “Yes, if you can accept that, I won’t bring up the divorce again.”
An oppressive silence filled the elevator as Neil stared at her with an unfathomable cold gaze.
When the elevator doors opened, he pulled her back to the room and pushed her onto the bed.
Silvia frowned and attempted to get up, but Neil pinned her to the bed.
He stared at her face with a fiery glint in his eyes. “In that case, you should fulfill your duties as a wife!”
In the next moment, he undid the buttons on her top with his slender fingers.
Her expression changed slightly. She grabbed his hand and said coldly, “I’ve lost interest in you, Neil Remus!”
Wearing a malicious grin, Neil slowly said, “But I haven’t gotten bored of you yet. Maybe I’ll set you free once I’m bored. How about we make a deal?”
“If you can give me pleasure, I might consider your proposal. But now, the thought of your touch makes me sick.”
Dissatisfaction filled his face, and he fixed his gaze on her. “It makes you sick? But you seemed to enjoy yourself just fine at the hotel last time.”
Silvia sneered. “I was drugged and not in control of my actions. It wouldn’t have mattered who it was. My reaction would have been the same with any other man.”
“Shut up!”
