CHAPTERS 1311 - 1315
CHAPTER 1311
"Mom, I know... I know he's a good man." It was precisely because Silvia knew how good Andrew was that she was feeling afraid, but she did not know where his fear came from.
"Silvia..." Mrs. Turner patted Silvia on the back and didn‘t ask anything more. She understood Silvia's personality clearly. Once Silvia decided not to share anything, no one could get anything out of her no matter how hard they tried. Also, Mrs. Turner didn't want to rub salt in her wounds. When Silvia thought it through, she would naturally tell her everything.
”Mom, let's get some chicken wings.“ Silvia wiped away her tears and smiled at her mother as if nothing had happened. "Do you think I've gotten pettier since I got married?"
"Not at all." Mrs. Turner‘s heart ached for Silvia. She said from the bottom of her heart, "My daughter is forever the best."
"Thank you, Mom!" Silvia felt that the persons who loved her the most were her parents. No matter what she had become, their love for her would never change.
"Silly girl."
"Let's go, Mom."
They headed for the supermarket and bought Silvia's favorite chicken wings.
After returning home, Mrs. Turner started making baked chicken wings. Smelling the fragrance, Silvia couldn't help drooling. "Mom, why is your cooking always so delicious?"
"Because I know your taste well," said Mrs. Turner. When Mrs. Turner first married Mr. Turner, she did not know anything about cooking. Later in life, because Mr. Turner was always busy at work, she had to take care of the family. Therefore, she slowly learned how to cook. Eventually, she became great at it.
After giving birth to Silvia, Mrs. Turner had even become a certified nutritionist in order to provide the best for Silvia. She had put in a lot of effort for the family.
Of course, Silvia kept everything that Mrs. Turner had done for the family in mind. "Mom, you've sacrificed too much for Dad and l. You've spent most of your life taking care of us."
"I am happy to do so. As my husband, your dad has done many things for me. Of course, I have to do something for him." Mrs. Turner turned to look at Silvia, "Also, it was our obligation to care for you because you're our only child. We loved you and wanted to give you all the good things in life. However, our capabilities were limited and were unable to put these thoughts into action."
Silvia did not agree with that. "Mom, why would you think so? You and Dad have given me a lot of love, and the love you give me is much more than that of many parents. I am very grateful to both of you. Also, I love you and Dad very much."
"I just suddenly feel that what I gave you was not enough." Mrs. Turner shared the same thoughts as many other parents. No matter how much she had given her child, she would still feel that it was insufficient. However, not wanting to get too sentimental, she quickly changed the topic. "Silvia, come and have a taste. Let me know if my cooking skill is still at the same level."
Mrs. Turner placed the chicken wings on a plate. Then, Silvia took it and sniffed it. "As long as it's made by you, it's the best! I'm starving just by looking at them."
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, “Well, try it."
Silvia took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up. "Mom, it's really delicious!"
Upon hearing her daughter's praise, Mrs. Turner broke into a bright smile. Silvia was not good at cooking, but she still helped out in the kitchen while Mrs. Turner made a few more dishes.
When they were done, they had dinner together.
It had been a long time since she had dinner with her mother like this. Looking at such a simple and warm scene, Silvia felt a tinge of sadness. "Mom, shall we live together?" she asked.
Silvia couldn't bear to part with Andrew, but she also couldn't bear to be away from her mother. She had been picturing the three of them living together. With that, they could have their meals together every day. How wonderful would that be? Silvia thought.
"Silly girl, most of the young newly-weds wish to have their own space and get away from their parents. Why would you want me to live with you?"
"I don't know what others think. All I know is that I want you to live with me. I want to have dinner with you every day. After dinner, we can even go out for a walk and talk about what happened during the day." Silvia looked at her mom with a spark of eagerness in her eyes,
"Mom, do you agree with it?"
Mrs. Turner looked at Silvia and said patiently, "Silvia, do you want me to move in with you two? Or do you want Andrew to move into our small house?"
"Well, I think both are fine," Silvia replied without thinking much.
Mrs. Turner said with a smile, “Your father bought this house. There is where we have stayed for a long time as a family and there are many wonderful memories here. I don't think I will want to leave here to stay with you."
Silvia blurted out without second thoughts, "I'll ask Andrew to move in with us then."
"I don't think he will refuse if you ask him to move here. But you think he will get used to living here? Although our house is bigger than ordinary families, it is still not at the same level as his enormous villa. How can we make him live in such a small place?" explained Mrs. Turner.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Silvia understood what her mother was worried about. Mrs. Turner did not want to leave her current home, but was also worried about the pampered Andrew's comfort.
However, Silvia still insisted on spending more time with her mother. "Mom, why don't I come back here every other day?"
"Stop being silly, my dear. It's your thought that counts." Mrs. Turner gave a gentle and warm smile, "Andrew and I wouldn't want to see you to-ing and fro-ing between houses."
"Mom, why do you always think about me? Why can't you think about yourself for once?" Silvia was Mrs. Turner's only child. Mrs. Turner could totally ask her to live with her, but she had never wanted to put Silvia into a difficult position.
“Because you are my only child. As long as you live a good life, it is my greatest comfort." Indeed, this was every parents' wish.
"Mom..."
"Ding, ding."
Silvia was interrupted by a notification from Mrs. Turner's mobile phone, indicating there was an incoming text message. Mrs. Turner took out her mobile phone and looked at it. After reading it, the smile on her face became even more gentle. "Silly girl. Shall we dig in? It's getting cold. We should eat and rest early."
CHAPTER 1312
Silvia scooped some food onto Mrs. Turner's plate. "Mom, the weather has turned cold. Remember to put on more clothes. You can't let yourself catch a cold, or I'll worry about you."
Mrs. Turner replied gently, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
As they ate, the mother and daughter enjoyed a good conversation.
Since Mrs. Turner cooked dinner, Silvia took the initiative to wash the dishes. The kitchen was already well kept by Mrs. Turner, but Silvia still cleaned it thoroughly. She wanted to do something for her mother, even though it was trivial.
While Silvia was busy with the dishes, Mrs. Turner put on a clean bed sheet and quilt for Silvia and prepared all the things that Silvia needed.
When Silvia couldn't find Mrs. Turner in her own bedroom, she was sure that she had gone to Silvia's room instead. As expected, Silvia spotted Mrs. Turner there. "Mom, I can do these myself."
"Silvia, I am happy to do this for you. Are you going to deprive me of my happiness?"
Silvia was rendered speechless. What else could she say after hearing her mother's words?
Perhaps, all mothers' love was the same. They would never complain about doing anything for their children. On the contrary, they would feel that it was the most beautiful and happiest thing in their lives.
…………..
At the same time, a few people were gathering together for dinner. However, they were not talking about their family issues, but scheming something. Moreover, they were in West Side.
West Side was the residential villa area where Andrew lived. The people gathered around here were discussing how to deal with Andrew.
Among them, Alina was not clear about the situation. She voiced her concern, “Young Master Carter lives here, and we're gathering here to talk about him. Are we taking him too lightly?"
As far as she knew, Mr. Carter was the most powerful person in Madison City. As his son, Young Master Carter was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Aline figured they were just digging their own graves by hanging out in his territory.
"We chose to gather here precisely because we took him seriously and didn't want to act rashly." It was Dr. Thames who answered the question. She didn't think highly of Alina. However, at this time, they had to rely on Alina to spread rumors as it was inconvenient for them to do so. Therefore, she explained to Alina patiently, "The most dangerous place is also the safest. Do you understand?"
Dr. Thames and Felix had decided to set their future meetings at Dr. Thames's house. This place was right under Andrew's eyes and could be exposed at any time. However, Andrew would also never expect that they would choose such a place.
"I understand," Alina answered, and kept quiet after that. She turned to look at Felix, her eyes filled with deep admiration. She was not hiding her feelings at all. She loved Felix. When she first met Felix at campus two years ago, she couldn't get him off her mind.
Dr. Thames couldn't stand it and spoke, "Let's get down to business. Stop trying to seduce him. We all know what kind of slut you are. Stop pretending."
"What about you, Dr. Thames? Do you know what kind of b‘tch you are?" Alina had joined their alliance without getting paid at all. Her only motivation was her love for Felix, and she would only listen to Felix. Hence, she paid no heed to what Dr. Thames had to say.
"You b‘tch! What did you just say? I dare you to say it again!" Dr. Thames thought that Alina was not on the same level as her. She looked down upon Alina from the bottom of her heart. Now that Alina had the nerves to talk back at her, she would not let it go easily.
"I dare tell Felix that I like him. What about you? You like Young Master Carter, don't you? But you don't even have the courage to let him know. What's so great about someone like you?" Alina was never someone that was easy to deal with. She was accustomed to quarreling with people and throwing caustic remarks at them. Therefore, she was not afraid to face Dr. Thames.
"Slap!"
Without saying a word, Dr. Thames raised her hand and slapped Alina in the face with such brutal force that five clear fingerprints immediately appeared on Alina's face. "I'll kill you! You little b‘tch!"
"Slap!"
Alina was not willing to get the short end of the stick. In one swift motion, she slapped Dr. Thames in the face and said, "Do you want to die? I'll f‘cking die along with you!"
Dr. Thames held her hand to her face in pain and said furiously, "Are you playing with fire?"
Alina began to laugh coldly, her face was as ferocious as a bloodthirsty demon. "Dr. Thames, I have nothing to lose at all. Even death doesn't scare me. However, for someone like you, who still has hopes and dreams, death is a very terrifying thing."
Dr. Thames was a tough woman and had done countless twisted deeds. However, at this moment, she felt a chill down her spine when she saw the hideous smile on Alina's face. She opened her mouth but could not make a sound.
At this time, Felix cleared his throat and said, "Now, the three of us are on the same boat. Do you want to fight each other or work together to accomplish something? The decision is in your hands."
Hearing Felix's voice, the expression on Alina's face eased up instantly. She replied softly, "I'll listen to you."
Felix nodded, and shifted his gaze to Dr. Thames. "What about you? Do you want to continue causing trouble?"
"I'd like to tell you a piece of good news." Knowing how serious the matter was, Dr. Thames figured that it was not wise to cause internal conflicts at this time. She took out her mobile phone, clicked on the album, and showed them a photo. "Look, do you recognize this person?“
"Isn't this that b'tch, Silvia?" Alina said through gritting teeth. Although the photo was just showing a back view that resembled Silvia, it was enough to drive Alina up the wall. She hated Silvia so much that she wanted her dead.
"It's not her," commented Felix. The back view of the person was somewhat similar to Silvia's, but he could tell that it was definitely not her. However, he couldn’t exactly tell what was the difference between the woman in the photo and Silvia.
Dr. Thames sarcastically remarked, "Felix, you are indeed deeply in love with her. Most people would not be able to recognize them, but you could tell at a glance that she is not Silvia."
Felix didn't mind Dr. Thames's mockery at all. On the contrary, Alina, who had wrongly recognized the person in the photo, asked with a look of shock and disbelief on her face, "If this isn‘t Silvia, who could it be?"
CHAPTER 1313
"The person in this photo is indeed not Silvia." Dr. Thames then swiped to the next photo and said, "This is the girl in the previous photo."
Dr. Thames put her phone on the table so that Felix and Alina could have a clearer look. "Can you see it clearly now? This girl is very beautiful, isn't she?"
"It's really not Silvia!" Alina exclaimed in surprise. At the same, she realized something else. "They have a similar figure, and also look alike from certain angles."
"I've always known that an outstanding man like Andrew would never fall in love with someone like Silvia, let alone marry her. After seeing this photo, I finally understood everything. Silvia's nothing more than a substitute." After getting this photo and knowing that Silvia was probably just a substitute, Dr. Thames was on cloud nine. Things were not going her way lately and this discovery was something that cheered her up.
Alina reacted quickly, asking, "Are you saying that Young Master Carter took a fancy to Silvia just because she looks like the girl in the photo?“
"What else could it be?" Dr. Thames sneered. "I initially thought that Andrew saw something in her that we couldn't see. Come to think of it now, she was just lucky to resemble the woman that Andrew has been keeping in his heart. Furthermore, she appeared in his life when he was at his loneliest. That was why he wanted to have her."
Alina, too, was excited upon hearing this news. Finally, she realized that Silvia was not so special after all. However, she was still worried. "Silvia does look like this girl, but how could you prove that Young Master Carter liked this girl? They might not know each other at all!"
"I wouldn't have found out about her if they don't know each other. However, this girl's identity is not simple. We should not plan to do anything to her. All we have to do is to let that b‘tch know that she is just a substitute." Dr. Thames felt a huge sense of relief thinking that Silvia was only a substitute that Andrew had found.
Alina, who had always regarded Silvia as a nuisance, said with excitement, "I can't wait to see Silvia's expression after she finds out about the truth. It will definitely be a sight to behold!"
Just as Dr. Thames and Alina were in a frenzy, Felix poured cold water on their idea. “Dr. Thames, I don't care if Silvia's just a substitute, but I won't allow you to hurt her this way."
"Huh! Felix, how dare you order me around? Let me tell you, I must let her know about this!" Dr. Thames said arrogantly.
Felix reminded her, "Don't forget about our agreement."
Dr. Thames retorted angrily, "Felix, I know we have an agreement that you won't hurt Andrew, and I won‘t hurt Silvia. However, I am not actually hurting her. I am just telling her the truth."
"Listen carefully, Dr. Thames. You can never do this to her. There is no room for negotiation." Even if Silvia did not belong to him now, and that she was someone else' wife, she was still the girl he had protected since he was a child.
All along, Felix had wanted to give Silvia the best of everything. A wonderful childhood, a wonderful love... He had given her all of this. He even thought that they would be together forever.
They had also made a promise that once Silvia graduated, he would propose to her. Then, they would have a baby and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, both of them did not expect that accidents would happen.
Silvia had lost her father, and Felix had lost the girl he loved. After he had escaped from the jaws of death and recovered from his injuries, he found out that she had already married someone else. At first, he was furious. He even blamed her for betraying their love for each other.
However, after calming down, Felix told himself that she would definitely not betray their love. He was convinced that Silvia was forced by Andrew to be with him. She did not do it on her own will.
That was how Felix had gone through this difficult period of time, convincing himself repeatedly to trust Silvia.
Dr. Thames was so enraged that she picked up the chair and threw it on the ground. "Felix, are you f‘cking out of your mind? I worked so hard to get this clue. How could you tell me to not use it without giving me a valid reason?"
After listening to Felix's words, Alina didn't say anything. She just stared at Felix with widened eyes. Clenching her fists, her nails were digging into her palms, but she did not feel any pain at all.
She had always known that Felix loved Silvia. Felix had even personally told her that he would never let Silvia go for the rest of his life. However, when she witnessed with her own eyes how he was so protective of Silvia who had betrayed him, anger stirred within her. She felt bad for Felix.
Alina couldn't help wondering, “Silvia betrayed him and married someone else! Why is he still blindly protecting her?"
She really wanted to wake Felix up to reality and tell him not to protect that girl anymore. It was not worth it at all.
Just as Alina was roaring inwardly, Felix gave them a short but firm answer, "I don‘t want her to get hurt in this life!"
"Fine..." Dr. Thames understood Felix's insistence on protecting Silvia. "Let me ask you then, Felix. You believe that Silvia hasn't fallen in love with Andrew, and she was being forced to be with him, don't you? You also believe that she still loves you, don't you?"
Felix nodded, "Yes."
Dr. Thames added, "If that's the case, she shouldn't have any feelings for Andrew, right? Therefore, she wouldn't be sad if she finds out that she is just a substitute, am I right?"
There was no flaw in Dr. Thames's explanation. Felix could not even refute.
Seeing that Felix was speechless, Dr. Thames continued, "Felix, if Silvia is upset when she finds out that she‘s a substitute, it means that she has already fallen in love with Andrew. In other words, she has betrayed your love. Is a girl like her still worthy of your protection and love?"
CHAPTER 1314
If Silvia had betrayed him and fallen in love with Andrew, was she still worthy of his care and protection? Felix thought about it seriously.
The question thrown by Dr. Thames was indeed a harsh one. It didn't take long for Felix to give his reply. "Yes! It's worth it! It will forever be worth it!" he said firmly.
Dr. Thames was astonished by his answer. "Felix, are you crazy? Or have you lost your mind? Do you know what you're talking about? She's a sl‘t who has fallen in love with someone else. What makes her so worthy for you to protect her like this?"
"Do you need a reason to protect someone?" Felix asked indifferently.
Dr. Thames screamed hysterically, "Even if you don't need a reason to protect her, you should find someone worthy of your protection! A woman like her doesn't deserve it!"
"It's up to me to determine if she's worthy or not. You don't have to decide for me," Felix said with a calm expression. However, his gaze was sharp when he looked at Dr. Thames.
"That applies to you too, Dr. Thames. Andrew obviously doesn't care about you. Why are you still thinking of ways to win him over?"
"Because... Because I like him."
Felix replied, "No, that's not the reason. It's just your possessiveness playing tricks on you. That's because you've never met with such failure in your life before meeting him. The more he shows no interest in you, the more you want to have him. Once you get your hands on him, and there is only you in his eyes, you'll trample on him to feed your sense of accomplishment."
Felix hit the nail on the head, making Dr. Thames feel a little embarrassed. Her face darkened as she said, "Felix, we are talking about you now. Don‘t drag me into this."
"My thoughts are simple. As long as you still intend to cooperate with me, then you'll have to accept my opinion. You must not spread the news you received today. Otherwise, I will not let you off the hook." Felix's voice was still soft and indifferent, but there was a hint of viciousness in his words.
"Fine, you win! But there won't be next time." Dr. Thames knew that it wasn‘t a good time to fight Felix head-on. She decided to agree with him first. As for what would happen next, it was her own business. Felix could not control what she wanted to do.
"I'm going back to my room," said Felix. Then, he limped slowly up the stairs without getting the consent of the ladies.
He was willing to believe in Silvia as he has not known the entire truth. He would not change his mind to protect Silvia. That was because he had once promised her that he would protect her for the rest of his life!
Therefore, he would never allow anyone to hurt Silvia.
……………..
Flying from Hatford City to Madison City took roughly two hours and fifteen minutes. It was already two o'clock in the morning when Andrew arrived at Madison City. At that time, the airport was less busy. Therefore, once he came out of the VIP passage, the first thing he saw was his driver waiting for him.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for him. He reminded Andrew, "Sir, the temperature has dropped today in Madison City. You should dress up on more layers."
For the past three years, when Andrew had closed himself off from the world, he would feel annoyed when he heard words of concern. However, his state of mind was different now. Upon hearing that, his heart felt warm. "I will. You should keep warm too," he nodded and said.
"Thank you for your concern, Sir!" The driver seemed to be happier than winning the lottery. His mood was instantly lifted. .
Andrew had sent a text message to Mrs. Turner beforehand, telling her that he would come back to accompany Silvia at night.
After learning that it would be late at night when he arrived, Mrs. Turner was worried that she would not hear his call during her sleep. Therefore, she had told him that she would hide the house key under the carpet outside the door.
When Andrew arrived at the house, he successfully entered the house using the keys hidden under the carpet.
Mrs. Turner was a considerate person. Knowing that Andrew would come, she left a lamp on in the living room. Her heartwarming gesture made Andrew feel good.
When he was living with the Carter family, no matter how late he got home, his mother would leave a lamp on. Mrs. Turner's actions reminded him of his mother, who he had not seen for a long time. They were both warm and caring elders.
It was getting late and he had to return to Hatford City in a few hours to continue the next meeting. Hence, he wanted to spend as much time as he could with Silvia. Unexpectedly, when he was trying to sneak into Silvia's room, the door of Mrs. Turner's room suddenly swung open.
It was already three o'clock in the morning. Despite feeling sleepy, Mrs. Turner had tried her best to stay awake. While waiting for Andrew, she had dozed off. However, because of her occupied mind, she jolted awake without falling into deep sleep.
When she heard noises in the house, she came out of the room after putting a coat on. Seeing that it was Andrew, she smiled at him gently, "Andrew, you've traveled so far in the middle of the night. Let me make you some food."
They had only met twice, but when Mrs. Turner saw Andrew again, she did not treat him as an outsider. She immediately thought of preparing supper for him.
"There's no need, Mom. I have eaten on the plane," Andrew lied, not wanting to trouble Mrs.Turner.
"Are you really not hungry?" Mrs. Turner asked with concern.
"Yeah, I'm not hungry." He figured skipping a meal was no big deal.
"Okay. Get yourself cleaned up and have a rest. I have prepared a set of clothes and toiletries for you in Silvia's room." Mrs. Turner had already prepared those the last time Silvia brought Andrew home. At that time, he did not use them. So, she had kept them until now.
"Okay," Andrew nodded. "Mom, you should go to bed too."
"Okay." Mrs. Turner didn't say much because she could tell that Andrew was eager to see Silvia. She did not want to be the third wheel.
Andrew tiptoed into Silvia's room and saw that the quilt was on the floor. He walked over and pulled up the quilt to cover Silvia. "You're an adult. Why are you still sleeping like a child? You really make me worry."
"Andrew…"
Andrew had just covered her with the quilt when she suddenly called out his name. Andrew thought he had awakened her. When he looked at her closely, he realized that she was sleep-talking.
Hearing that she was calling his name in her dream, Andrew felt that it was worth his effort rushing back that night to keep her company. A warm current flowed into his chest. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and caress her head. "Silly girl, why are you calling me?"
CHAPTER 1315
"Andrew, you won't lie to me, will you..." Silvia said in her sleep. Andrew's heart skipped a beat and he furrowed his brows.
What did she hear about lately? Why did she have such a reaction in her sleep? He wondered.
However, Silvia did not say anything more. Andrew did not get the answer he wanted. He sat down beside her and held her hand tightly. There were a lot of things he wanted to tell her, but he couldn't say a word.
It was a hard fact that he had deceived her, and he had no way to justify himself.
Andrew knew that Silvia's abnormal behavior was undoubtedly related to Felix. The sudden spread of Felix's news in University A was definitely not groundless. He must pay attention to this matter.
With that, Andrew left the room, walked into the study next door and took out his mobile phone to call Eugene.
Even though it was during midnight, Eugene answered the call on the first ring. "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Andrew ordered, "Contact Johnathan Cole immediately and have him rush to Hatford City to host the meeting with Orion Corp tomorrow."
"Yes..." Eugene's instinctive reaction was to agree to Andrew's demand. After that, he realized that something was wrong. "But Sir, this collaboration with Orion Corp is the biggest project in our company. You have always been the person to be in charge of the project. If you let Director Cole take over without notice, not only is he unfamiliar with the project, it's also hard for us to explain to Orion Corp."
Changing the host of a business negotiation was the same as changing a commander on the battlefield. It was a fatal taboo and absolutely not feasible.
Eugene was like a cat on hot bricks, but Andrew replied nonchalantly, "I have something more important to do."
"Sir, what could be more important than this? This meeting will decide if our company can expand to the east. It also concerns the welfare of thousands of our employees. You shouldn't act recklessly at this time, Sir."
In the past, Andrew was all about work and was more hardworking than anyone else. However, after Silvia appeared in his life, he had completely changed into another person.
Eugene was glad that Andrew had finally found his true love and settled down. However, Andrew had been dropping bombshells now and then, which had caught everyone off guard.
The meeting was going on well and he just suddenly decided not to attend. If the meeting was screwed up, who would take the blame? Eugene thought.
More importantly, if they screwed up the project, it would have a great impact on the company, which would lead to emotional instability in the employees.
Eugene knew clearly that Andrew was aware of the seriousness of the matter. He couldn't fathom why he insisted on it. "Do rich people tend to act recklessly?" he thought to himself.
It seemed that Andrew was willing to hand over the business that he had worked so hard for throughout the years.
Even if he was willing to, the men who had been fighting along with him all these years were not! Despite knowing that Andrew would not be pleased, Eugene tried to persuade him, "Sir, why don't you reconsider? You can choose not to consider the future of our company, or the welfare of the employees, but you have to think of Madam. Only when your business is good that you can promise her a good life."
"Don't worry. If Orion Corp doesn't believe in me, they would not proceed with the negotiations up until this point. Also, you don't have to worry about my wife. I will make sure that she lives a good life." With that, Andrew hung up the phone.
Eugene was speechless. There was a puzzled look on his face. Of course he was not concerned about his boss' wife. He knew that Andrew cared about Silvia.
Therefore, at the critical moment, he had thought of using Silvia to change Andrew's mind.
However, Andrew seemed to have misunderstood that Eugene was trying to hit on his wife. Eugene would never dare to mess with his boss' wife, unless he had a death wish.
After hanging up the phone, Andrew returned to Silvia's room. He sat beside her and looked at her in silence. He had never thought that watching her sleep soundly was such a wonderful thing.
However, Andrew had his own concerns. He was worried that the good things he wanted would be destroyed, and that he might lose Silvia one day.
He had never been in such a distressed state in his life. Perhaps, it was due to his lack of confidence and his lack of understanding of Silvia. Besides, their relationship was not stable yet.
"Silvia, if you find out about everything one day, will you leave me?" However, he would never get an answer from Silvia as he didn‘t dare to ask out loud. He was afraid that she would hear him.
Silvia was a headstrong girl. Andrew dared not imagine the consequences if she were to know the truth. Thus, he pretended that nothing had happened and that the relationship between them was very stable.
Nevertheless, no matter if she would leave him or not, he would not let her go. "Silvia, you are my wife and you will be my wife forever. I will not allow you to leave me no matter what."
He had put in a lot of effort to win her over. Therefore, he would not let her go that easily.
………….
Madison City was a city with distinct seasons. It was particularly hot in summer and particularly cold in winter. Without warning, it suddenly snowed heavily in the middle of the night.
The next morning, Silvia woke up early. She sat by the window and watched the thick snow outside. A lot of things were going through her mind suddenly.
The year before, during the first snow, Silvia lay in her warm bed, unwilling to get up. Her father had come to her, holding a bowl of hot soup, "My little lazy worm, if you don't get up soon, you'll be eaten by the early birds."
She had popped half of her head out from under the quilt and said lazily, ”Dad, are you willing to let your most precious daughter be eaten by birds?"
"Of course I'm not. Hurry. Get up and brush your teeth. Your Mom made this soup herself. It's very delicious," Kurtson Turner said while rubbing her head.
"Dad, even if it's poison, as long as it's made by Mom, you would say it's delicious, wouldn't you?" Silvia knew how much her father loved her mother.
"Sure. It's because I love her so much." Kurtson had always openly expressed his love for his wife in front of Silvia.
He had always felt that he must voice out his love to his wife and daughter, so that Silvia could grow up in a family filled with love.
