Chapter 97


    Silvia rolled her eyes. “So, if you’re out all night, do you expect me to stay up and wait for you?”


    “I won’t.”

    “What?”


    “I won’t be out all night.”


    It sounded like a promise, but she ignored him. She yawned and said, “Whatever. Can I go back to


    sleep now?”


    Seeing that she was about to doze off again, Neil yelled, “Silvia Pond!”


    “What now?!”


    He sensed her irritation and angrily said, “I drank quite a few sses tonight, so I want you to help me


    wash up.”


    Silvia took a deep breath and barely contained her desire to kick him out. She got up reluctantly and


    pushed him toward the bathroom.


    She squeezed some toothpaste onto the toothbrush with a yawn and said, “Take it!”.


    After Neil brushed his teeth, she grabbed a towel and wiped his face aggressively. It was almost as if


    she was trying to scrub his skin off.


    He frowned and coldly asked, “Can’t you be gentler?”


    “Sorry, I’ve always been quite strong since I was a child. I can’t help it.”


    Neil was at a loss for words.


    After she gave him a quick wash, Silvia hurriedly tucked him in bed and switched off the bedroom light.


    As shey down, he suddenly said, “Silvia, I’m sorry for what happenedst time. I shouldn’t have


    doubted you.”


    He had initially considered investigating the man she had dinner with but decided against it. He was


    concerned that it might escte their conflict if she found out.


    After a long silence, Silvia whispered, “Just sleep.”


    When she woke up the next morning, he had already left the bedroom.


    She left the bedroom after freshening up and found him on a phone call in the living room.


    He was dressed in a gray sweater and ck trousers, which softened his unfriendly appearance.


    Silvia nced at him briefly and made her way to the kitchen.


    She returned once she prepared breakfast and saw Neil hanging up.


    “Henry wants to treat you to lunch as an apology. Would you like to go?”


    She was taken aback. They previously had an unpleasant conversation at MY Corporation’s entrance,


    yet Henry still wanted to apologize to her?


    However, she frowned when she thought of Snow.


    “No. I don’t want to see Snow.”


    Following a brief silence, Neil revealed, “Henry and Snow broke up.

    Silvia cocked an eyebrow in surprise. “Well, that’s none of my concern. You didn’t have to tell me.”


    He felt a little helpless and said, “I’m not lying. Henry ns to apologize to Dulcie as well, so to be


    exact, he wants to treat. both of you to a meal.”


    “Is he out of his mind?”


    Neil was left speechless.


    “You really don’t want to go?”


    She looked at him skeptically. “Do you want me to go?”


    “If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.


    “Alright, I don’t want to go.”


    They finished breakfast in silence. Silvia then loaded the dishes into the dishwasher and spoke to Neil


    with indifference, “I have some business today. I won’t be back for lunch, so tell the housekeeper that


    she doesn’t need to prepare anything for


    me.”


    “What kind of business?”


    Silvia frowned. “It’s personal, and I don’t have to report to you. But if you’re that curious, you can


    always arrange for someone to keep an eye on me.”


    Neil’s gaze turned colder, and he clenched his fists instinctively.


    “Silvia, I didn’t hire anyone to watch you.”


    “Then tell me, how did you know I had dinner with a manst time?”
