Chapter 73
An elderly lady enthusiastically introduced a potential partner to Silvia and asked her to save the person’s contact
information. Being caught in the situation, Silvia considered saving the man’s number and explaining the situation to him
later.
Suddenly, someone reached down from above and took her phone.
She turned around in surprise and frowned when she saw Neil.
“Give me back my phone.”
Neil looked at her with indifference and pocketed the phone.
“It’s not safe with you. I’ll keep it for you.”
The elderly ladies were unaware of Neil and Silvia’s marital status, so they appeared puzzled. One of them turned to Abalene and asked, “What’s going on?”
Just as Abalene was about to explain, Neil calmly said, “I’m sorry, but Silvia’s already married, and I’m her husband. My grandmother was just trying to anger me when she asked you to introduce Silvia to a potential partner. I hope you won’t take it seriously.”
His words were shocking, and the others immediately turned to Abalene.
“Is this true? Why did you keep it a secret from us? We had no clue!”
“I can’t believe it. We used to think that Neil would be the last to marry, but it turned out he’s the first among our grandchildren!”
“That’s not nice of you, Abalene. She’s already your granddaughter-in-law, yet you still told us to introduce young men to her. You should treat us to dinner, or else, we won’t let it slide.”
As everyone’s attention shifted to Abalene, Neil pulled Silvia away.
He only released her hand after they left the barbecue area and entered the tranquil woods nearby.
“Are you stupid? Why didn’t you decline my grandmother’s offer to introduce you to someone earlier?”
Silvia looked at him calmly. “Why should I decline?”
His expression darkened, and he angrily said, “Silvia, don’t forget that we’re not divorced yet!”
She nodded. “I know. I was just planning to get to know him, nothing more.”
“How could you?!”
Seeing the rage in his eyes, Silvia extended her hand. “Can I have my phone back?”
She wanted to enjoy a good barbecue, but Neil spoiled everything again. As expected, there would be no pleasant moment with him around.
He held her hand and said, “Stay with me for a while, and I’ll return your phone to you.’
Silvia immediately pulled her hand away and coldly said, “Keep it!”
She could just buy a new one. She could not stand having to spend another moment alone with him.
As she turned to leave, Neil hugged her from behind and whispered, “Silvia, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you today.”
She tensed up for a moment before she pushed him away. Then, she took a few steps back and glared at him. “Stop it. If you truly felt sorry, you wouldn’t allow Ada to remain by your side unharmed after watching the surveillance footage.”
Neil’s expression changed slightly. “I won’t let her cause you any harm in the future.”

to protect her, don’t apologize to me. I won’t
let her get away just because you’re regretful.”
“What do you intend to do to Ada?!”
