CHAPTER 1246
After saying what she wanted to say to Andrew, both Andrew and Mrs. Turner fell silent for a moment.Then, Mrs. Turner said, "Well Andrew, you can stay here for a while while I go help Silvia out with the dishes."
Andrew immediately got up, "Mom, you've been busy the whole day. It's time to sit down and have a rest. I'll help Silvia with the dishes."
Mrs. Turner hesitated for a moment, and then remembered that he was already her son-in-law. She should not regard him as an outsider, so she said, "That's a good idea."
Andrew said again, "Mom, you can watch some TV for a while. I will come over again after helping Silvia."
"Okay!" After watching Andrew enter the kitchen, tears started welling up in Mrs. Turner's eyes.
Since Silvia was born, Mrs. Turner knew that Silvia would eventually have a family of her own when she grew up. Mrs. Turner also knew that Silvia was married to Andrew even before they had told her about it. Before this, she felt like she was dreaming. And she thought that when she woke up from the dream, her daughter would still be by her side, and she would still be her precious little girl.
It was not until that day when Silvia had brought Andrew home and officially introduced him to her that Mrs. Turner had clearly understood that it was not a dream. It was really the reality that her daughter had already grown up and even had her own family.
From now on, Silvia would not hug her and behave affectionately to her like a little child. And she would also rarely have any more opportunities to wake Silvia, who liked to sleep in, up for school.
From now on, that man would be the one responsible for her daughter's life...
Andrew stepped into the kitchen and saw Silvia humming while washing the dishes. It seemed that she was in a good mood, so he was happy too. "Silvia, why are you in such a good mood?“
"You guys are done chatting already?" The moment Silvia heard Andrew's voice, she looked back and asked, "What did my mother say to you?“
Andrew said, "Answer me first, what's making you so happy?"
Silvia said, "I'm just happy. Do I need a reason to be happy? Just mind your own business, will you?"
Andrew said, "If that is the case, whatever Mom said to me has nothing to do with you then."
Silvia complained, "She's my mother. How is it that the things my mom had said to you had nothing to do with me?"
Just as Silvia was complaining in a loud voice, Andrew suddenly got close to her and gave her a gentle peck on her lips. She was caught off guard. "Mom asked me to take good care of you in future," Andrew answered.
"Can't you just speak? Why are you kissing me..." If he wanted to kiss her, he should have kissed her properly. What was the point of a gentle peck... Silvia was displeased!
"You don't like me kissing you?" But her eyes were telling him that she liked it when he kissed her.
She did like it, but she was not satisfied that it was just a gentle peck. However, she was too shy to say it out loud.
Silvia immediately changed the topic. "Get out of here. Don't try to mess around here in the kitchen.'
"I‘m here to help you." Andrew rolled up his sleeves. He really looked like he was serious about helping her.
"Hey, I thought you are a clean freak? and you've always thought the kitchen is a dirty place? Are you really sure that you want to help me?"
"Although I don't really feel like coming into the kitchen, I can't be letting my wife do all the work by herself, right? So I have to help."
Andrew picked up the dishes that Silvia had scrubbed a while ago and rinsed them. Silvia thought he had never done any chores in his life, but he looked like he knew what he was doing. Silvia let out a sigh. It seemed that smart people were all fast learners.
When Andrew and Silvia came out of the kitchen after washing up all the dishes, Mrs. Turner had just finished tidying up Silvia's room. "Andrew, I've just changed the sheets in Silvia's room. I hope you wouldn't mind that the room is a little too small for you."
"Don't worry, Morn. I'm more than happy that you've asked me to stay over for the night, how can I complain about it?“ Andrew had never slept in someone else's bed. However, it was Silvia's bed, so he didn't mind it at all. Instead, he was a little disappointed that Mrs. Turner had replaced the bed sheet that Silvia had slept in.
Although Mrs. Turner had already prepared every possible thing that Andrew would need for his stay, she was still afraid that she would leave something out. "I've prepared all the necessary toiletries for you. If there is anything else that you need, just let me know."
Silvia couldn't stand seeing her mother being so kind to Andrew, so she said, "Mom, you don‘t have to worry about him. He's an adult, he'll be fine?
Mrs. Turner said, "Silvia, you should take Andrew to your room to have a look and show him where everything is. It's his first time here, you should be a little kinder to him."
Silvia was speechless. Fine! What else could she say, anyway?!
No matter how reluctant she was to be nice to Andrew, Silvia did not want her mother to be sad. Therefore, she took Andrew to her room. The interior of her room was simple. It was not like how a girl's room would normally look like. It looked more like a boy's room instead.
It was the first time that Andrew had stepped into her bedroom. He looked around with great interest and said, "Silvia, your taste is a lot better than what I've imagined."
He wanted to praise Silvia, but whenever he complimented her, she would get too arrogant. And that was why his words came out like this.
Upon hearing what Andrew had said, Silvia rolled her eyes at him. “You really don't know how to give compliments huh? Your wife would probably run away with another man sooner or later."
Andrew pinched her cheek and said, "Don't you even dare to do that. I'll break your legs even if you're just thinking about doing it."
"If you dare to yell at me again, you'll see if I'll run away with another man." Although she was complaining, this was Andrew's first time in her bedroom. Silvia explained to him in detail, "My father designed this room himself. He did it all according to my preferences, especially the study. Look here."
Silvia opened the door and said, "This is the study room. In order to make it convenient for me to study, my father knocked off the wall and combined the two rooms."
Their house was not very big, but it looked spacious after renovating it, especially in Silvia's room. One could easily tell that the person who designed the house had put a lot of effort, time and energy into it.
Andrew sighed, "Your father really loves you."
"Of course. My Dad's the man who loves me the most in the world." Thinking of her father, Silvia's was full of pride. The happiest thing in a girl's life was to have such a father who had loved her so much.
Andrew said, "I will try my best to be like him."
"What makes you think that you could be like my father?" Silvia looked at Andrew with a scornful look. "I think it's better for you to give up on that. I think I'll never be able to wait until the day when you'll finally be good to me. Not only in this life, but also in the next life."
Andrew said, "Silvia, I think you should eat more walnuts."
Silvia did not understand. "What do you mean?"
Andrew said, "To feed your brain."
Silvia said, "Andrew, you're criticizing me again!"
"I'm just telling the truth, so it's not considered as a criticism." While talking to Silvia, Andrew glanced around the room and saw that there were two photo frames on the desk. "What's that?" Andrew asked.
Oh no!
Silvia screamed inwardly. On her desk, there were two photo frames. One was a family photo, and the other was a picture of Silvia and Felix.
CHAPTER 1247
Silvia and Felix had known each other ever since they were a child, but they had only dated briefly. And that was why they had very little photos of them together. Among the very few photos that they had taken together, Silvia liked the one on the desk the most.
She placed that photo on the desk so that she could see him whenever she looked up. Also, it was also there as a reminder to herself of how good Felix's grades were. So, whenever she felt lazy and wanted to procrastinate, she would look at the picture to motivate herself to work harder so that she could catch up with him.
After that, her father passed away and Felix had gone missing. On top of that, Norman Turner and his bunch of scoundrels had set her up too... And then, she fell into Andrew's hands.
After she had gotten involved with Andrew, he would torture her every single day. She was rarely home and did not have any spare time to tidy up her room, that was why that photo was still on the desk.
Silvia did not want Andrew to know about Felix. She wanted to hide the photo, but it was already too late. Andrew had already reached out his hand and picked up the photo frame.
He looked at the photo and said with a faint smile, "Who's this man in the picture?"
"He's..." Andrew was a possessive man. If he knew that she had a boyfriend before him, he would probably skin her alive. Therefore, she must not tell him the truth.
"Who is he?" Andrew repeated his question, and his tone sounded a little scary.
Huh! Andrew was a really jealous man. Even before she could answer him, he already looked like he was going to swallow her. If she really were to tell him the truth...
Silvia did not dare to think about the consequences.Therefore, she immediately came up with a white lie, "He's my senior. He's just like Prince and Lemur, we used to be very good friends, but he's studying abroad now, so we are no longer in contact with each other."
As she spoke, Silvia tried to take back the photo from Andrew, but he refused to let it go. He looked at her and said, "Since he was just a senior, why do you have to put a photo of the two of you on your desk then?"
Silvia scratched her head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't have much photos at home, so l just randomly picked this one..."
This silly woman was still lying to him. He could never get the truth out of her, so his eyes darkened as he said, "You said that you guys weren't in contact with each other anymore, but you still have this photo on your desk."
"I had it here a long time ago. A lot have happened in the past months, and I rarely come home, so I've already forgotten that it was here." What Silvia said this time was true, but Andrew would not believe her anymore.
"So, does it mean that the man in the photo and the photo itself are no longer important?" Andrew curled his lips, and the smirk on his lips became even more obvious, which made Silvia's heart tremble.
Silvia was so nervous that she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered, "Yes... of course they're not important."
She reached out her hand again and tried to take the photo back, but Andrew still wouldn't let go of it.
"Since they're not important to you, I'll help you throw it away then." In front of Silvia, Andrew took the photo out from the photo frame and tore it into pieces.
"What are you doing, Andrew?" Looking at the photo that was being torn up, Silvia's heart ached. It was as if he had torn up her innocent and beautiful memory.
Anger, heartache... All kinds of emotions emerged at the same time, making Silvia lose her mind. Therefore, without a second thought, she flung her fist and gave Andrew a hard punch on his face. "B*stard, who said you could do that?"
Although the punch was on his face, Andrew felt it in his heart. She was willing to punch him because of the man in the photo. What was Andrew to her?
"B*stard, how dare you touch my things?" Silvia bent over, trying to pick up the pieces that had fallen onto the floor and tried to put them together.
Andrew pulled her back up and said, "Silvia, I thought you said that it's not important? Why are you reacting like this if it's important? You‘re stupid, but please don't think that everyone is as stupid as you."
"What's wrong with me reacting like this? You tore up my picture, and you're here having an opinion about my reaction to it?" Silvia wanted to break away from him, but his grip felt like two iron pliers clutching on to her wrists. She was angry and in pain. "Let go of me! Do you think that you're so great just because you are rich? Yes, I'm stupid. I'm so f*cking stupid to bring you home."
Because of anger, Silvia said a whole bunch of mean and hurtful words. Andrew's face fell at that instant. His face was so cold that he could freeze the air around him. "Silvia, I dare you to say it again."
"Of course I dare to say it again. Even if you want me to repeat it ten times, I will still say the exact words. I want you to get the f*ck out of my house now!" Silvia, who had already lost her mind, continued to struggle. She was struggling to break away from Andrew so that she could pick up the pieces on the floor.
That person was not just someone else. It was Felix, who she had liked since she was just a little girl.
Silvia knew that she was married, so she should no longer think of Felix... However, who had never had a past? Who had never had an unforgettable relationship, right?
He, Andrew, probably had one too. How could one just forget everything about her past just like this? How could he just ruin her memories like this?
"Silvia Turner!" If it was not because Andrew had been trying to suppress the anger in him, he would have already snapped Silvia's neck.
"Get your filthy hands off me! Don't touch me!" Silvia roared, gnashing her teeth.
"Silvia, do you know what you're talking about now?" Huh... She would even think that his hands were dirty now. Sure enough, compared to that man in her heart, Andrew was just a joke to her.
Silvia was the kind who would be nice when he went along with everything she said. The moment that Andrew were to go against her, she would immediately fly into a rage. It was especially so when this matter was related to Felix.
She said furiously, "Andrew, don't you want to know who the man in this picture is? I'll tell you now. The man in the picture is not just someone else. He is the man who I've liked since I was a child. He's my boyfriend, and not only do I like him last time, but I still like him now and I will still like him in the future. I will like him for the rest of my life, and I won't like anyone else. Are you satisfied with this answer? Are you happy now?"
As soon as Silvia's words came out through her lips, Andrew pressed Silvia against the desk. He lowered his head and kissed Silvia aggressively, no...it was not a kiss. He was biting her lips to the point that they were bleeding and he was like a vampire, sucking her blood.
"Mm... let go of me." Silvia used up all the strength that she had to push him away, but she still could not break free from him. However, she did not want to admit defeat, so she imitated Andrew by biting his lips.
However, in the process of biting each other, the air around them became somewhat amorous. Slowly, the bite became a kiss. They were both kissing each other so forcefully, as if they were going to crush each other with their kisses!
CHAPTER 1248
It was not until Silvia was gasping for air that Andrew had gradually let go of her.
Andrew touched her swollen lips with his thumb. With a faint smile, he spoke in a gentle tone, "Silvia, let me tell you, I don't care who the man you have been thinking all these while is. I only care that I will be the only man who can kiss you like this and the only man who has your body."
He said that he did not care who the man who she was thinking was,then why did he overreact like that when he saw Felix's photo on the desk? It was a lie that he could not even convince himself, but Silvia who was furious actually believed it.
"Humph... that might not really be the case!" She knew that he did not like her and he was only interested in her body. After all, she was young and quite good looking too, and she was able to let him vent his lustful desires.
"Not the case?" Andrew leaned into her and sneered evilly. "Do you want me to fill you up now to prove it to you?"
"You... you're so disgusting!" Silvia did not know that he could say such an obscene thing. They were in an argument, but he still wanted to fool around with her.
"Silvia, I'm your husband and you're my wife. Whether you are willing or not, you can never get rid of this identity for the rest of your life. Only I can..." He pressed her down, lowered his head and kissed her again. Then, he slid his large hand under her top and explored her body. "Like this, like this, and like this!"
Silvia bit her lip, trying to endure the humiliation. He pinched her chin and lifted her head, making her lean against him. "If you dare to approach any other men, I will let you understand what does it mean to be cruel."
Silvia hated him for treating her as a lifeless toy, and she hated the arrogant look on his face. She said, "Andrew, besides threatening people, what else do you do? Well, since you want me to know, what does it mean to be cruel, then just show me. I'm not afraid of you at all."
"Huh..." Andrew scoffed and clenched his fists to the point that his knuckles were popping. If it wasn't because he had been trying his best to restrain himself, he might have already twisted this woman's head and kicked it around like a football.
"Silvia, could you please come out for a while? I have something to tell you." Mrs. Turner appeared in time and detonated the bomb that was going to blow up very soon.
Because of Andrew, Silvia was trembling with anger. However, she calmed down after seeing her mother. She did not want her mother to worry about her, so she tried to force a smile on her face. But, the smile was even uglier than a crying face.
Silvia is Mrs. Turner's only precious child. All these while, Mrs. Turner wished that she could give Silvia all the happiness in this world.
Seeing that Silvia was trying to cover up by forcing a smile, Mrs. Turner was heartbroken. She looked at Andrew with a dissatisfied look and said, "Andrew, you should call it a day and get some rest. Silvia will come with me."
Overall, Mrs. Turner was satisfied with her son-in-law, but now that he had made Silvia sad, Mrs. Turner was somewhat upset regardless of the reason why the two had gotten into a fight.
Mrs. Turner took Silvia back to her room, and gave Silvia a hug the moment the two of them were in the room. "Silvia, you don't have to hold it in, just cry if you feel like crying. I'm here with you. Silvia did not want her mother to know that she and Andrew were quarreling, but her mother's embrace was so warm that it made her heart warm. "Mom, I'm fine."
Mrs.Turner let go of Silvia and asked gently, "Can you tell me what's going on?“
Silvia shook her head. "It's all good now.“
"Silvia, I've told you before that it's normal for a couple to get into a fight." Mrs. Turner held Silvia's hand and smiled. "Silvia, you two are a married couple now. The way to maintain a marriage is to communicate with each other. When you get into a fight with your spouse, you should never say mean things out of anger. What's done cannot be undone. Words that were said, cannot be taken back. Do you understand that?"
"Mom, it's really nothing. It was just a small argument. It's nothing to be worried about." Silvia tried to hold back her tears. She did not want to cry in front of her mother nor did she want mother to worry about her again. Most importantly, she did not want her mother to change her mind about Andrew because of this fight...
Mrs. Turner advised patiently, "Silvia, Andrew is just like any of us. He has his own feelings too.He will get jealous and angry... It's all because he cares about you."
"Mom, I... I know." Although she said so, Silvia had never thought that Andrew was reacting like this because he cared about her. The reason why Andrew tore up Felix's photo was because of his stupid ego.
Mrs. Turner said, “Silvia, if you've realized that you've said something that you shouldn't have said, then go and make it clear to him what your mistake was. It will be fine after the two of you talk it all out."
Was Mrs. Turner not trying to comfort her? Why did she suddenly ask Silvia to explain to Andrew, that b*stard?
Andrew was the one at fault. Why should she explain? Was it because he was rich and has a powerful background?"
Silvia said firmly, "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong! He's the one at fault."
Mrs. Turner patted Silvia's hand and said, "Silvia, I didn't say that it was your fault. However, I think you did say something out of the line back there, so you should explain it to him. If you explained what you did clearly to him, he would apologize to you if he did something wrong too."
"It's impossible for a man who is so full of himself to realize his mistakes." In Silvia's eyes, Andrew was a dictator who could never listen to anyone's opinion.
Mrs. Turner frowned and said, "Silvia, how can you talk like this? It's very mean."
"What right does he have to tear up the photo of me and Felix? That was the only photo I have left of Felix. I can never see Felix anymore, so can't I think of him when I look at the photo?" The tears that Silvia had been trying to suppress for a long time finally broke out, flowing out from the corner of her eyes.
Silvia used to store her photos in cloud storage, but after Felix disappeared, her account was corrupted. All the photos that were stored there were completely wiped off.
Therefore, that was her only photo of Felix left. Now that Andrew had torn it into pieces, how could she not be angry?
"Yes, it was indeed his fault to tear up your photo, and it was outrageous." Mrs. Turner wiped Silvia's tears with distress, but tried to persuade Silvia again. "But Silvia, let's think about it from another perspective. If you were to see a photo of him with another woman on his desk, and he would be able to look at it every now and then, what will you do about it?"
"I..." Silvia recalled the time when Andrew was having a meal and chatting with another woman. That time, she had even poured coffee all over him. Therefore, if he were to put a photo of him and other women on his desk, she might really do something worse than what Andrew did.
Mrs. Turner caressed Silvia‘s head and said, "Silvia, don't rush into answering me. You should go take a bath and rest up. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will naturally know what to do about it."
Silvia said in a choking voice, "Mom, I.."
Mrs. Turner said gently, "Silvia, I can't make any decisions for you and I can only guide you. As for what you should do, you'll have to decide it yourself."
CHAPTER 1249
Standing under the cold shower, Silvia's mind was full of Andrew's raging face. After thinking about it thoroughly, she realized that there were things that she had not noticed before this.
It was true that the look in Andrew's eyes would give out a dangerous aura when he was angry, but after thinking about it, it seemed like there was also a hurtful look and a whole lot of mixed emotions in his eyes that she could not understand.
Was it really like what her mother had said? That her words were too harsh?
But...but...he did not care about her, so why would he care about what she had said to him, right? If that was the case, then how could she hurt him with her words?
In fact, she never wanted to get into a fight with him, because every time she quarreled with him, she would be the one ending up feeling awful.
Just like what Mrs. Turner had said, it was not easy for them to be together. They should spend every single day together happily, so they would not have any regrets in the future.
"Silvia, it's cold at night. Don‘t stay in the shower for too long or you might catch a cold." Silvia was in the bathroom for quite some time now. Mrs. Turner was worried about her so she knocked on the door to check on her.
Silvia turned off the shower and wrapped herself in a bath towel. With her reddened eyes, she said, "Mom, did I really say something that I shouldn't have said?"
Mrs. Turner quickly took a towel to dry Silvia's wet hair and said, "Silvia, since you know that you've made a mistake, let's make amends to it. Dry your hair and get dressed. Then, go to his room and apologize to him. Things will be fine after that."
"Oh..." Silvia sat in front of the dressing table so that Mrs.Turner could blow-dry her hair. "Mom, whenever you quarreled with Dad,Dad would always let you win. Why can't Andrew do the same for me?"
Mrs. Turner laughed, "Your dad let me win because he was the one at fault. If I was the one who made the mistake, I would apologize to him too."
Silvia was still upset that Andrew had torn up the photo. "But it was Andrew who started it first. If he didn't tear up Felix's photo, I wouldn't have said those words to him."
Mrs. Turner said, "Silvia, before taking any action, we shouldn't care what the other party has done. We have to know that if we did something wrong, we must admit to our mistakes. Do you get me?"
"Yeah, I get you. Thanks,Mom! Mom, I love you!" Silvia felt blessed to have such amazing parents.
"Silly girl, go see him now." Mrs. Turner put away the hair dryer and stroked Silvia's head lovingly. "Whether he is still angry or not, talk to him nicely. Don't get into a fight again."
"Mom, what if he wants to argue with me?" Silvia knew that Andrew was a petty man. He would remember every single thing that she had done clearly.
Mrs. Turner thought for a moment and said, "Just go apologize to him. If he still wants to quarrel with you, I will stand on your side."
Silvia pouted her lips and said, "Mom, are you saying that you're taking his side now?“
Mrs. Turner broke into a gentle smile, "No, I am on the side of truth."
Silvia did not know what to say. In fact, Silvia was very happy that her mother liked Andrew so much.
Before bringing Andrew home, Silvia had been worried. What would she do if her mother didn't like him?
Now that her mother liked Andrew so much, all these worries were gone and Silvia could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Silvia came to Andrew's room guiltily. The door to his room was shut, so she knocked on the door politely... After a few attempts, there was still not a reply from him.
Sure enough, Andrew was a petty man. He must still be mad at her. "Andrew, if you don't say anything, I'm coming in then."
Silvia waited for a while, but there was still no response. Therefore, she pushed the door and walked into the room.
The lights in the room were turned off. Silvia glanced around the room with the help of the lights from the corridor, but she did not see Andrew.
Andrew was not in the room?
At that instant, there was an inexplicable panic in Silvia's heart. She hurriedly turned on the lights and the moment the lights were lit up, Silvia could clearly see the condition of the room. The bed was untouched. She could tell that no one had slept on it.
The door between the study area was left open too. At a glance, she could see every corner of the study room, but there was no trace of Andrew at all.
Andrew was really not there. The most eye catching thing in the room was the torn pieces. Silvia walked to the desk and picked up the pieces. She could not help feeling sad.
From the beginning, her marriage with Andrew was an unusual and disparate deal. Silvia wondered if they could still live like how an ordinary couple would.
It was normal for an ordinary couple to quarrel. After the quarrel, they would still be each other's family. However, she felt like there was a huge gap between her and Andrew. As long as he did not look back, she would never be able to catch up with him.
"Silvia." Mrs. Turner was worried so she covertly followed Silvia to the room. She realized that Andrew was missing too.
"Mom, Andrew is a clean freak. He's probably not used to staying here." Although Silvia was disappointed that Andrew had left without a notice, she still instinctively wanted to defend him. She did not want to ruin the good impression that he had left on her mother.
Mrs. Turner was a clear-minded person. How could Silvia deceive her with such an excuse? Although she saw right through it, she did not say anything. "Silvia, give him a call and ask him if he's home."
The two of them had just had a flght and her son-in-law had gotten so mad that he left home. If Andrew got into an accident, Silvia would regret it for the rest of her life. Mrs. Turner loved her daughter so much that she would not allow such a thing to happen!
“Mom, he's a grown up. He'll be fine by himself." Silvia sniffled and swallowed all the grievances and dejection. "It's getting late now, Mom. You should go to bed already, I'm also going to bed soon. I have to get up early for my morning class."
Mrs. Turner said worriedly, “Silvia..."
"Go Mom. Trust me, he'll be fine, and I will be fine too. Don't worry." Silvia had never thought of letting her mother worry about her. However, she still ended up making Mrs. Turner worry. Silvia thought that she was an unfilial daughter.
"Okay." Mrs. Turner knew that her daughter was an impatient person, so she must not force Silvia to do something that she did not want to do. If she did, Silvia would snap.
Mrs. Turner went out of the room and gently closed the door. The moment the door was shut,tears rolled down from the corner of Silvia's eyes.
It was the first time she had brought Andrew home to see her mother, but he had actually left without saying anything. This was ridiculous. Did he ever consider her mother? And what did he take her for?
"B*stard, who do you think you are? Who are you to bully me like this? How could you make me feel so sad?" Silvia was so angry that she was biting her lips intensely. Her heart was aching so much that she felt like she was suffocating.
She really hated this awful and suffocating feeling!
CHAPTER 1250
It was late at night. The colorful lights illuminated this historical city.
Andrew drove the car along the road, but for a moment, he had no idea where he could go. It was at such a time that he had learned how lonely he actually was.
After so many years, he did not even have a real friend in this city. Sometimes, when he needed to talk to someone, he would not be able to find even one, which was really sad.
In the past three years in Madison City, he had been buried in his word and working very hard to grow his company. His career had been a smooth sailing, but his life was in a total mess.
Other than work, he did not know what else he could do. Even if there was delicious food served in front of him, he was not in the mood to enjoy them at all. He felt like he only ate to live.
He drove around the city over and over again. Finally, his car arrived at Phantasy Nightclub. After handing the car to the valet guy, Andrew went straight upstairs.
When Stanley Pierson heard that Andrew was here, he quickly rushed over and asked, "Sir, why did you suddenly come over tonight?"
Andrew did not answer. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Stanley. Stanley didn't dare to ask again and said, "What would you like to drink? I'll send it to you right away."
Instead of answering, Andrew asked, "What's on tonight?"
"I'm afraid that the shows tonight would be quite suggestive, so you might not like it, Sir." Stanley had been with Andrew for three years now, so he thought he knew Andrew's preferences very well.
Andrew had never participated in social engagements nor casual relationships... It was hard to find a man who was rich yet self-loving in this day and age.
"Lead the way." After saying that, Andrew walked forward.
Stanley was stunned for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly caught up with Andrew. "Sir, I didn't know that you are coming over tonight and so all the VIP rooms are already occupied. Could you please wait for a moment while I ask our people if they could give away their room to you?"
Andrew had never taken part in such activities before. Therefore, Stanley did not reserve an exclusive entertainment room for Andrew. The only room that he had reserved for Andrew was the bedroom upstairs.
Now that Andrew was here out of a sudden, there were no vacant VIP rooms nor could he let Andrew sit in the main hall, so Stanley could only think of driving their own people out at that instant.
"Our people?" Andrew had a lot of people working for him, but he had never chatted with them or had a good drink with them. Since he had nothing to do that night, he thought of giving it a try.
Stanley said, "Yes. It's Eugene, Dr. Thames and the gang."
Andrew said, “Don't drive them away. I'll just join them."
Stanley was speechless.
Stanley did not know if Andrew knew that if he were to join those people, they would not be able to have fun at all. They would rather go to the main hall to join the crowd than letting him join them. However, Stanley did not dare to say it out loud. After all, it was a great honor for everyone to know that their boss was willing to hangout with them.
Seeing that Stanley was in a dilemma, Andrew raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a problem with that?"
Since Andrew had already decided to join his subordinates and have a look at how they would usually have fun, Stanley's opinion would not matter at all.What's more, Andrew knew that Stanley would not dare to go against him.
Stanley shook his head. "No... not at all. I‘ll take you there right now."
There were some special shows coming up that night at Phantasy Nightclub and it was being advertised since two weeks ago, which had attracted quite a huge crowd.
This included some of Andrew's subordinates. Since they did not have to pay for it, no one wanted to miss such a good opportunity.
However, Andrew's sudden appearance was beyond everyone's expectation. The group of people stood up simultaneously and said in unison, "Master Andrew!"
Andrew waved his hand and beckoned everyone to sit down. However, since Andrew had not sat down, no one dared to take their seats.
Seeing that Andrew was here, Dr. Thames was surprised and happy at the same time. She knew that Andrew went home with Silvia and he should be home with Silvia at this hour. However, instead of being with Silvia, he was here at the Phantasy Nightclub. Therefore, Dr. Thames guessed that something must have happened between the two.
As a subordinate, it was natural to greet her boss. What's more, she wanted to see him, so she got close to him. "You're here, Master Andrew.“
However, Andrew ignored her and did not even take a glance at her.
The people in the private room automatically stepped aside and gave up the main seat. After Andrew had sat down,Stanley poured him his usual booze.
Dr. Thames stopped him and said, "Master Andrew, you're still under medication. You shouldn't drink."
Andrew still did not pay any attention to Dr. Thames. He picked up the glass and was about to drink. Dr. Thames said, "Master Andrew, you should think about Miss Turner before you drink. If something happens to you, what is she going to do?"
When she said this, Dr. Thames stared at Andrew's face and observed every subtle change in his expression.
She noticed that when she mentioned Silvia, Andrew's brows twitched into a slight frown. Judging from this subtle detail, Dr. Thames was sure that Andrew and Silvia had gotten into a fight that night.
He really did get into a fight with Silvia. God was really helping her. Dr. Thames thought.
Therefore, this is the best chance for her to carry on with her plan. She was eager to make Andrew notice the good in her, but it was still not the right time. She needed more time.
Dr. Thames said again, "Master Andrew, Miss Turner cares about your health very much. She would remind me to prescribe your course every now and then. If she knows that you're drinking now, she will definitely worry about you."
Dr. Thames clearly knew that the two had a conflict. If she were to talk about Silvia, it would only make him angry. However, that was what she wanted. Therefore, she deliberately brought Silvia up to annoy him, and so that he would detest this name.
"Shut up! If anyone wants to mention her in my face again, then get out of here immediately!" During this period of time, whenever he thought of that stupid woman, Andrew would feel like there was a knife stabbing him.
This was what Dr. Thames wanted. When she heard what Andrew said, she was electrified.
Seeing Andrew had emptied his glass, Dr. Thames once again plucked up the courage to persuade him, "Master Andrew, you really shouldn't be drinking so much. Why don‘t I call Miss Turner..."
Before she could finish speaking, Andrew stared at her with his cold and sharp eyes. The sharper his gaze was, the happier Dr. Thames was. She wanted to know what Silvia had done to make Andrew who had always been a collected person so angry.
Dr. Thames looked at the glass in Andrew's hand. As the liquid in it was slowly decreasing, an idea came into her mind... If she were to spike his drink, and even if he were to mistake her as Silvia, she would not mind it at all.
However, it had always been Stanley who would pour the drink for Andrew. Stanley was loyal to Andrew. So it would be impossible for her to spike Andrew's drink.
But then again, nothing was impossible in this world. One just had to give her all in doing it.
