Chapter 9
Chapter 9
Everyone in the room turned around and saw Neil glaring at Silvia. His eyes were filled with rage. Silvia was shocked. She did not expect to see Neil here. After a moment, she averted her gaze and took a sip from her wine glass while ignoring him. Anger filled Neil’s face when he saw her reaction. He walked up to her and grabbed her arm in an attempt to drag her out of the room. Dulcie had a look of displeasure in her eyes. She quickly blocked his path and sternly asked, “Mr. Remus, what are you doing?!” Neil glanced at her coldly and barked, “Get out of my way!” Dulcie sneered, “Sil’s my friend. Shouldn’t you give me a good reason for taking her with you?” Neil’s face was stoic, but he was about to lose his patience. “I’ll say this one last time. Get out of my way!” Silvia knew that Dulcie would not gain the upper hand in this standoff. She pursed her l*ps and said, “Dul, I’m fine. I’ll come back in a while.” Dulcie stared at her with concern. “Sil…” “Don’t worry. He won’t hurt me.” Neil immediately dragged her out of the room after she finished talking. Silvia almost tripped. Dulcie was enraged when she saw this. Silvia must have been wearing rose-colored glasses in the past. Otherwise, how would she fall for a jerk like Neil? Neil only released Silvia’s hand when they reached the end of the corridor. “Silvia, don’t you realize that you’re a married woman? Yesterday, you were fooling around with Chris. Today, you’re here flirting with male models in a bar! How many times are you trying to cheat on me?!” he questioned. Silvia rubbed her wrist, which had turned red from his grip. “It’ll happen again if you keep stalling on signing the divorce papers,” she said indifferently. Neil sneered, “You’ll regret it if you continue fooling around with other men!” Silvia smiled after she heard what he said. She gave him an unbothered look. “I’m curious about how you’re planning to make me regret it. Are you going to threaten me with what you can do to the Pond family? Don’t forget that Ada, your beloved girl, is also a member of the Pond family. She would definitely be upset if you did something bad to her family. Do you want her to be sad?” Neil appeared conflicted. It was not because Silvia had brought Ada up. Instead, he realized that he had no chance of making Silvia stay once she really made up her mind to leave. Suddenly, Neil felt a sense of dread. Before long, anger overpowered the anxiety he felt. “I’ve explained it to you before. I never cheated on you with Ada!” A hint of annoyance flashed across Silvia’s eyes. “Neil, you don’t have to explain whatever happened between you and Ada. I don’t care at
all. I just want to know when you’re planning to sign the divorce papers?” she said coldly. Irritation bubbled up within him when he saw Silvia’s indifference. Every time he saw her, she would only talk about the divorce. He had already lowered his pride to explain himself, but she did not care in the slightest! The more Neil thought about it, the angrier he got. He grabbed Silvia’s chin and k*ssed her because he wanted to shut her up. Silvia never thought Neil would do that. She froze when she felt the warmth on her l*ps. She immediately pushed him away and slapped him. It was a loud hit. The atmosphere instantly became more hostile. Neil glared at Silvia as she wiped her l*ps in disgust. Her actions infuriated him. “Silvia, don’t you dare wipe your l*ps again!” Silvia was expressionless. She glanced at him and said, “If you were k*ssed by a woman you dislike, you would probably be in the shower now.” “How dare you!” Neil was livid. He stared at Silvia with hostility in his eyes. Silvia had always been a soft-spoken person. She never sounded so mean before. Was she desperate? Had she always been like this and had just been very good at hiding this side of her? Silvia looked at the time. She did not have enough patience to waste it on Neil, so she said, “I have work tomorrow. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll make a move first.” She did not bother to look at Neil’s face when she turned around and left. “Wait a minute!” Neil blocked her way. “When did you find a job? “It’s none of your business.” Neil tried to suppress his anger when he said, “Don’t forget that we’re still married!” Silvia remained indifferent. “Very soon, we won’t be.” “Silvia, my patience has its limits!” She found Neil’s expression a little funny when he tried to hold back. “You can choose to divorce me. After that, you won’t have to put up with me anymore.” “I’ve told you that I won’t agree to the divorce!” “Then suffer.” Neil was rendered speechless. While they were stuck in a stand-off, they heard a gentle voice. “Neil, Miss Pond, why don’t you enter the private room?” Silvia’s expression softened when she saw that it was Ryan. He was one of Neil’s best friends. When Neil’s leg was injured, Ryan often visited him. He was easy to talk to due to his gentle personality, so Silvia had a good impression of him. She smiled. “You guys have fun. I won’t be joining you.” Neil did not stop Silvia from leaving in front of Ryan. He only glanced at Ryan coldly after she left. “Why did you come out?” “I was going to the bathroom when I saw your argument with Miss Pond. I was worried that you two would fight.” After a slight pause, Ryan continued, “Neil, Miss Pond is actually a nice person. She’s the one who stayed by your side and took
care of you when your leg was injured. You should treat her better even if you don’t like her.” Neil looked at him with disdain as he said, “I know what to do. I won’t join the rest of you because I have something else to tend to tonight. Tell Henry and David for me. The bill’s on me.” After Neil left, Ryan stood still for a while. He only returned to the private room after he smoked a cigarette. Following Neil’s interruption, Silvia and Dulcie were no longer in the mood to stay. They left the bar after they paid the bill. After she got a buddy driver for Dulcie, Silvia waited for a taxi by the road. While she waited, she contemplated whether she should drive herself to work tomorrow. Suddenly, a black Maybach stopped next to her. Lost in thought, Silvia opened the door and entered the car without noticing that it was not her taxi. It was not until she smelt a familiar woody scent that she suddenly whipped her head around. She furrowed her brows when she saw the man sitting next to her. She wanted to get out of the car. The dim lighting prevented her from noticing someone sitting in the backseat earlier. Neil grabbed her wrist and said, “Go to Remus Mansion!” The driver started driving as Silvia stared daggers at Neil. “Can you let go of my hand?” She was annoyed and upset with herself. If she had not been deep in thought earlier, she would not have made such a silly mistake. “Sayer, lock the car doors.” Neil let go of Silvia’s hand only after the doors were locked. Silvia glared at him. She tried to sound calm when she said, “Neil, I really have to go to work tomorrow. I have no time to play your little games.” Neil frowned. “I just had some alcohol. You should come back and take care of me tonight,” he demanded. A hint of annoyance flashed across Silvia’s eyes. “You can give Ada a call. I’m sure she’d love to take care of you personally.” Silvia emphasized the words “take care” so that Neil would understand what she meant. Neil scoffed. “You’re being so generous now. You’re my wife, so you’re the one who should take care of me.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
