CHAPTERS 1431 - 1435
CHAPTER 1431
"Well, you should take a look at this then." Andrew threw a stack of documents at Felix. "The police have been looking for the murderer who killed Dr. Thames for quite a while now, but they haven‘t found any clues. I can always ask my men to hand this to the police, but seeing that you are so severely injured, I can't bring myself to do that."
Felix flipped through the materials, only to find a photo of him murdering Dr. Thames. This was completely mind blowing. He had already ruined all the evidence, so how could there be such a photo? "Where did you get this from?"
"Does it matter though?" Andrew said casually, "I could have just shown all these to Silvia, but I didn't."
"Do you think that I will believe that?" Felix laughed coldly. Then, he let out a smile that could send chills down one's spine. "Andrew Carter, as long as you show these evidence to Silvia and let her clearly see what sort of a person I am, she will be yours forever."
"It's precisely because of this reason that I've decided not to show it to her. I don‘t want to ruin the way she looks at you. I hope that there would still be smiles on her face whenever she talks about her youth." This was the reason why Andrew would never tell Silvia that Felix was the one who staged the accident. He wanted her to remember only the good things about Felix.
Some things and some people were better left in imagination, and reality could be cruel and unacceptable. Andrew had experienced it himself, so he did not want Silvia to follow his footsteps.
Therefore, Jayden had to use his own means to help Silvia. He wanted her to see only Feiix's good side and not his dark and shady side.
Felix stared at Andrew warily as he said, "Andrew, what kind of tricks are you playing now?"
"There is only one reason why I'm here today. You can forget about guilt tripping Silvia and make her agree to your unreasonable requests. She's now my wife, and it's my duty to protect her. I will no longer allow anyone to hurt her." After saying that, Andrew smiled politely. "Alright, Mr. Xavier, I'll see you when I see you!"
Felix clenched his fists tightly as he looked at Andrew's receding figure. He was clenching his fists so tightly that the wound on the back of his hand had reopened. He was bleeding but he did not feel any pain.
The pain on his body was nothing compared to his wounded heart. It was nothing at all...
"Felix, you..." Alina walked into the ward and noticed that Felix's palm was bleeding. She was so worried that she rushed over and grabbed his hand. "Don't ever hurt yourself like this again, okay? That's what Andrew wants. You're falling into his trap.“
“Where's Silvia?" No matter how worried Alina was, all Felix had in his mind was still Silvia.
"Silvia has already left." Seeing the injuries on Felix's body, Alina's heart was aching so much that her tears were flowing down her cheeks. "Felix, why are you doing this to yourself for a woman who doesn't love you?"
"As long as I put in a little more effort, she will definitely return to my side and fall in love with me again." Perhaps, what Felix wanted now was not Silvia. He was just unwilling to accept the reality.
If it weren't for Andrew and the fact that Andrew had ordered someone to harm him, or if he hadn't left Silvia, then Silvia would have never become Andrew's wife... Then, everything would be different now.
"Felix, Silvia's heart no longer belongs to you. Even if she returns to you, she will only be a person without a soul. She will not be the Silvia you wanted." Alina wiped her tears and cried. "I could understand this, but why couldn't you?"
"Even if she's just a soulless person, I still want her." Felix punched the wall, worsening the injuries on his hand and making it bleed profusely.
"Felix!" Alina quickly pressed the button on the wall to inform the nurses.
………..
It began snowing again.
Silvia was walking on the street by herself. This was the very first time that she did not know where she should go.
She had always lived a carefree life before she had turned twenty. She had a pair of parents who loved her and Felix that doted on her. On top of that, she had friends like Prince and Lemur, who were willing to let her order them around. In short, her life was the epitome of a fairytale.
However, no one had expected that this fairytale would come to an end the year she turned twenty. Her father had passed away in an accident and Felix had disappeared.
Then, a demon-like man appeared in her life. That's right, he was a demon. At first, all Silvia had towards Andrew was fear. To her, Andrew was just like a demon.
She thought that Andrew was a man who disregarded her wishes, disrespected her, and forced her to do things that she didn't like. All she had been thinking about at that time was to escape from him.
However, the more they got along, the more she realized that Andrew was actually not that scary. There would be times when he was adorable, gentle, and considerate of her!
However, just when she had fallen in love with Andrew, her former lover, Felix, came back.
Every time she saw Felix, there would be a voice in her heart reminding her that she had betrayed their love and that she had broken her promise... A woman like her was undeserving of happiness.
Indeed... Silvia felt that a woman who did not keep her promises was not worthy of love or happiness!
However, she really wanted to be with Andrew! She wanted it so much that her heart would ache whenever she thought about it!
She liked Andrew's embrace and she liked how he would hug her so tightly in his arms. She liked how he would call out her name with his deep and mellow voice when they were doing it. When he called her, she would feel as if she was his entire world.
Silvia wiped her tears off and ignored the weird look that the passersby were giving her. Then, she raised her head and shouted at the sky, "Andrew, I don't want to leave you at all. I want to be with you forever, do you know that?"
"Of course I know." She shouted at the sky, but a pleasant male voice sounded in her ears. It was a voice that she was familiar with. It was Andrew.
Silvia looked back at him. Andrew quickly pulled her into his arms and said, "If you don't want to leave me, then just stay by my side. Don‘t do anything silly anymore."
Silvia said with tears in her eyes, "B-but..."
She wanted to ask why he had come, but after struggling for a while, she still could not utter a complete sentence.
Andrew lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Silvia, there are countless couples in this world who swore their love to each other and they are also countless couples who became enemies after they have broken up. The past is in the past, so don't torture yourself like this anymore."
CHAPTER 1432
Silvia wanted to forget the relationship she had with Felix, but every time she thought about how she had broken her promise, she would be filled with remorse.
This was especially the case with Felix's current condition. She just could not bring herself to feel at ease.
"The snow is getting heavy now. Let's go home first." Andrew knew that Silvia was stubborn and that he would not be able to convince her that easily. He knew that he would have to give her some time to think it through herself.
Silvia broke away from his embrace and shook her head as she said, "Andrew, you can go home first. I'm going back to my mom's place."
"Your mom is at West Side now." Andrew dragged her along and shoved her into the car. "Go home with me. Don't think about going anywhere else."
Silvia said anxiously, “Andrew, can you not be this bossy?"
Jayden replied, "No."
Silvia was speechless.
………….
In the end, Silvia followed Andrew back to West Side.
Before returning home, Andrew had given Auntie Cherry a call. Knowing that Silvia and Andrew were coming home, Mrs. Turner was so happy that she prepared Andrew and Silvia's favorite dishes.
However, Andrew and Silvia were still not home after Mrs. Turner was done preparing dinner. Mrs. Turner stood at the gate, stretching her neck out over and over again. After waiting for quite a while, she finally saw a car driving towards her direction.
As the car got closer, Mrs. Turner could see the people in the car. It was her daughter and her son-in-law, whom she had been looking forward to seeing for a long time. She rushed over and said, "Andrew, Silvia, you two are finally back."
Silvia got out of the car and gave Mrs. Turner a big hug. "Mom... sorry for making you worry again.“
Mrs. Turner pushed Silvia out of her embrace and took a thorough look at her. She had to make sure that her daughter was really in front of her eyes only then she could feel at ease. "It's good that you're back safely."
Silvia hugged Mrs. Turner once again. "Mom... I'm so blessed to have you. Let me hug you for a while longer."
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Alas, you're already a married woman, but you're still so clingy towards your mother. Are you not afraid that you'll get laughed at?“
Silvia said, "As long as you don‘t laugh at me, no one will laugh at me."
Andrew got out of the car and said, "Silvia, the snow is getting heavier. Let's go back in first."
It was only when Andrew had reminded Silvia that she remembered that it was still snowing. She said, "Let's go, Mom."
"Okay." After stepping into the house, Mrs. Turner could not take her eyes off Silvia. "Silvia, you've lost weight, didn't you? I think you‘ve lost at least five pounds."
"Morn, I've been eating a lot lately, it's impossible that I've lost weight." In fact, Silvia did notice that her pants were a lot looser than before, so she reckoned that she must have lost quite some weight. However, it's normal for a person's weight to fluctuate, so she did not pay much attention to it nor did Andrew realize it too. Mrs. Turner, on the other hand, could tell it the moment she saw Silvia.
That was why it was said that a husband's love could never compare to a parent's love.
"I've made some chicken soup today. Make sure you two have more of it later.“ Mrs. Turner turned to look at Andrew, who had been keeping his silence, and said, "Andrew, you don't look that good, you should have more too."
Now that Mrs. Turner had mentioned it, Silvia noticed that Andrew really did not look that great. She got worried and asked, "Andrew, are you not feeling well again?"
The weather in Jiangbei and Madison City was indeed different. Since Andrew was still on the recovery, his body certainly could not withstand the harsh weather in Madison City.
"I'm fine." His mother-in-law was still here, so no matter how unwell he was, Andrew had to pretend like he was alright. He did not want Mrs. Turner to think that Silvia was married to a useless man.
Although Andrew said that he was fine, Silvia was still not at ease. "Andrew, let's go eat something first. I'll ask Dr. York to come over once we're done with dinner."
Mrs. Turner asked, "Is Andrew not feeling well?"
Silvia said, "It's just a cold, Mom. It happens whenever the weather gets cold, but it's not a big deal. I'll ask the doctor to come over and take a look at him. You don‘t have to worry about him, okay?"
With a suspicious look, Mrs. Turner sized Silvia up and asked, “Really?"
Silvia held Mrs. Turner in her arms. "Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Well, you're right."
After dinner, Andrew returned to his room while Silvia gave Carson a call.
Andrew was not doing very well. He was having a fever. Although the fever was not high, in order to prevent the fever from worsening, Carson immediately gave Andrew an antipyretic jab.
"Andrew, are you feeling dizzy? Or any discomfort?" Silvia was afraid that Andrew would fall unconscious again. She was so worried that her heart would not stop palpitating.
"Yeah, I'm feeling a little dizzy, but it's not anything serious. Don't worry about it." Andrew caressed Silvia's head and gave her a reassuring smile, "Dr. York just gave me an antipyretic jab and the fever will be gone in no time. You haven't seen Mom in a long time, she must have a lot to say to you. You should go keep her company first."
"It's fine. I can talk to Mom anytime. I‘ll stay here with you for now." At this moment, what Silvia was worried about the most was Andrew. She was afraid that his situation would worsen and he would have to return to Jiangbei to get treatment like the previous time.
Andrew was really a willful man. Jiangbei was a better place for his recovery, and yet he left everything behind and came over to Madison City for her.
Silvia wondered if he knew that if something were to go wrong, he might actually lose his life?
Andrew rubbed her head and said, "I said that I'm fine now, and yet you're still looking this worried. People might actually think that I'm dying."
"Stop that nonsense, Andrew!" Silvia reached out her hand to cover his mouth to stop him from babbling, "I'm telling you, what I want you to do now is focus on your recovery. You don't have to comfort me."
His situation was already this bad, and yet he was still trying to comfort her. Silvia really did not know what she should do with him.
Andrew grabbed her hand and kissed it. Silvia quickly pulled her hand back and warned in a soft voice, "Andrew, there's someone else around. Can you please behave yourself?"
Carson, who was preparing Andrew's medicine, suddenly said, "Master Andrew, Mrs. Carter, you can do whatever you want. PIease don't mind me. I'm a professional doctor, I won't look at things I shouldn't be looking at."
Silvia was at a loss for words.
Why did he have to be this direct? It seemed like it was true that subordinates would always behave like their master.
Looking at Silvia's reddened face, Andrew was amused. He could not help but want to tease her. "Okay, I'll behave myself. But I want you to come and lie down with me for a bit."
"You can lie down there, I'll accompany you." Except for being embarrassed having to lie down with him in the presence of a third person, Silvia still needed to measure his body temperature later. What if she fell asleep later and missed it?
However, Andrew was never a gentle person anyway. He reached out his long arms and pulled Silvia onto his bed and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep now!"
CHAPTER 1433
Silvia's worry eventually became a reality. However, she really could not help it. She was on a ten hour flight from Jiangbei and upon landing, she immediately rushed to the hospital. On top of that, she had been taking care of Felix ever since.
She was so busy that she did not get to sleep for the whole day. Now that she was lying in Andrew's warm embrace, Silvia fell into deep slumber almost instantly.
"Master Andrew..." Carson wanted to say something but Andrew stopped him. Andrew waved his hand, gesturing for Carson to leave the room. Hence, Carson had no choice but to pack up and leave.
Carson bumped into Mrs. Turner, who was waiting anxiously on the first floor. Mrs. Turner asked with a worried face, "Doctor, are they alright?"
Carson said, "Yes, it's just some recurring illness. I've already given Master Andrew an antipyretic jab, so he's in a stable condition now. As for Miss Turner, she has always been in good health and she's asleep now."
Knowing that her daughter and son-in-law were fine, Mrs. Turner was relieved. "Well, it's good that they're all right. I'm really sorry for having to trouble you on such a snowy night."
Carson was a man of few words, so instead of replying to Mrs. Turner, he nodded his head and left with his elite bag in his hand.
Seeing that Mrs. Turner was a little embarrassed, Auntie Cherry stood forward to ease the awkwardness. "Mrs. Turner, Dr. York is this cold to everyone, please don't take it to heart."
“Not at all, Auntie Cherry. All I want is for my children to be fine." In fact, Mrs. Turner did not mind Dr. York's cold attitude at all. She only hoped that Dr. York could do his best to care for Andrew and Silvia.
"Ring...”
Andrew's mobile phone rang all of a sudden. He hurriedly silenced the call and glanced at Silvia, who was sleeping in his embrace. It was only when he saw that she was not woken up by the sudden phone call that he slowly relaxed his furrowed brows.
The call was from Simon Banks. Andrew knew that it must be something urgent, otherwise, he would have just declined the call instead of muting it.
The matter that Simon was going to report to him was confidential and he must not let Silvia know about it, so he had to answer the call outside. Andrew gently pushed Silvia out of his arms. However, the moment he moved, Silvia was woken up. She said in a daze, "Andrew, don't go, don't leave me behind..."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm not going anywhere..." Andrew coaxed her but Silvia did not respond. Andrew realized that she was still asleep. She was having a nightmare and calling his name, asking him not to leave...
Andrew sat back down and held her in his arms. He gently stroked her back to comfort her. "I'm here, Silvia. I'll be here with you. Don't be afraid!“
"I'm sorry, Andrew!" Tears suddenly rolled down from the corner of Silvia's eyes. She was crying in her dream. She was crying so sorrowfully that it tugged at Andrew's heartstrings.
Silvia, who was having nightmares, said repeatedly, "It‘s my fault. It's all my fault. If I hadn‘t insisted on going on the roller coaster, we wouldn't have lost our child.“
The moment Andrew heard what Silvia said, his body became so stiff as if it was under a magic spell. He thought that he had hidden it well, but little did he know that Silvia had already found out about her miscarriage.
It turned out that she had already known the truth.
In other words, the smiles that she had on her face for these past few days were just a disguise. Behind that smile, there was immense guilt and self-blame.
Why was this woman so silly? “I'm sorry..." Silvia kept apologizing.
However, Silvia did not know that the real reason she had lost her child was not the roller coaster accident, but Andrew's negligence, which allowed someone to tamper with her medicine. He was the one at fault, not her.
"Silvia, Silvia..." Andrew did not want this unpleasant dream to bother Silvia anymore. He patted Silvia's face and woke her up from the nightmare. "Are you having a nightmare?"
“Andrew...” Silvia saw Andrew's gentle face the moment she opened her eyes. She hugged him and apologized, "I‘m sorry, I'm really sorry."
Andrew's heart was aching as he said, “No, don't ever say sorry to me. It's not your fault. I was the one at fault, I didn't take good care of you and that was why it happened."
Silvia asked in surprise, "You knew about it?"
Andrew kissed her forehead and comforted her, "It‘s an accident. None of us wanted this to happen. However, now that it has happened, there's nothing we can do to change it. The only thing we can do now is to put this matter behind us and move on, do you get it?“
"But..." It's not that she did not want to forget it. After all, everyone should look forward and not dwell in the past. "I will try my best to give birth to a healthy baby boy. A baby boy that looks exactly like you."
"Silvia, having you alone is enough. I really don't want to have a kid that will steal your attention away from me.“ Andrew thought that by saying that, it could perhaps minimize the impact on Silvia.
However, Silvia did not know Andrew was saying that for her own good. She said, “But I like kids. Just think about it, the house will be much livelier with a few kids around. It would be just like how it was when Levi was here."
Andrew said, “What if he turns out to be like Julien?"
Silvia thought for a moment and said, "Let‘s give birth to a son then. They said that sons usually follow their mother‘s character. Our son will then look like you, but behave like me. We won't have to worry that he will turn out like Julien."
Seeing that Silvia was so eager to have a child, Andrew felt bad for her. However, he did not want to spoil her excitement. "Okay, I'll follow whatever you say, but it's time to go to sleep now."
Silvia asked, "What about you? Are you not going to sleep yet?"
"I am. Let's go to sleep now." Andrew lay down with Silvia in his arms. He gently patted Silvia's back and coaxed her to sleep. After making sure that she was asleep, he picked up his phone and went to the balcony to call Simon Banks. "Speak."
Simon, on the other end of the call, said, "Master Andrew, I've already sent the remaining medicine at home to the lab and it was found that there are indeed Angelica roots in them. We contacted the doctor who prescribed the medicine and after a thorough interrogation, she admitted that a strange woman had given her a large sum of money to do that."
Andrew raised his eyebrows and asked, "A strange woman?"
Simon added, "The doctor said that she did not know who that woman was either. She said she only did it for the money."
Andrew said, "So you're trying to tell me that you still couldn't find out who was behind this?“
Simon nodded. "Yes, Master Andrew. We haven't been able to find out who the culprit is yet."
Andrew: "Continue to look into it. I want you to get this person even if it means that you'll have to overturn the entire city."
CHAPTER 1434
He had to find the culprit even if he had to overturn the entire city.
Simon believed that Andrew had the ability to do so. Moreover, this matter concerned Silvia, Andrew would definitely go all out.
Initially, the reason Silvia was able to garner Andrew's attention was her resemblance to Janell Joy.
And because of this mere resemblance, things began to go out of control. Andrew had been helping her out in secret for more than two years before they eventually met each other. Two years was not a long time, but for someone, like Andrew, who had never spent time on useless things, was definitely a significant amount of time spent.
In Simon's point of view, regardless of the gender, once a person had fallen in love, even the most rational people would lose their judgments.
Realizing that Simon was not answering him, Andrew said, "Did I make myself clear?"
Simon came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes."
Andrew added, "Send some of your men to the hospital to keep an eye on Felix Xavier. Don't give him another chance to play his cheap tricks.“
Simon immediately replied, "Yes, Master Andrew."
Andrew added, ”Also, Stanley could be a little slow-witted sometimes, you should guide him when you see fit."
Although Stanley was not smart, he was absolutely loyal to Andrew. Even if Andrew was not satisfied with his performance, he was still willing to keep Stanley by his side.
It was easy to recruit capable subordinates, but a loyal one was one in a million. As long as Stanley did not anger him, Andrew was willing to bring Stanley along wherever he went.
Andrew did not know that Stanley had stayed in the cold wind for several hours that day just because he did not receive any orders from Andrew that he could leave.
If it was anyone else, they would probably be resentful towards their master for having to stay in the cold wind for such long hours. However, besides complaining, Stanley did not have any dissatisfaction towards his master at all.
After hanging up the phone, Andrew stared into the distance with a solemn look. At this point in time, the snowfall was already much heavier than it was in the evening. It seemed that another snowstorm would hit the city very soon.
………..
After receiving a dosage of sedatives, Felix Xavier finally calmed down.
Alina Bell handed him a glass of warm water and said, "Here, have a glass of water to moisten your throat.“
Felix looked blankly at the ceiling, as if he could not feel anything that was happening in the outside world or even Alina, who was standing beside him.
Alina was holding the glass of water for quite some time now, but Felix still ignored her. She was a little annoyed, so she said, "Felix, Silvia has already left. Even if you refuse to eat or drink, she won't be able to see it. If you really have the ability, then go ahead and defeat Andrew. Go get Silvia back from him."
"Felix, since you have the courage to hurt yourself, do you not have the courage to fight against Andrew?" Alina had been enduring Felix's indifference towards her for too long that a raging flame was already cultivating in her. Now that it had broken out, it was completely uncontrollable. Alina was so infuriated that she threw the glass onto the ground and said, "Just look at yourself, Felix Xavier. You're nothing like a man now."
"I can't even keep my beloved woman by my side. I was never a man from the moment I lost her." Felix finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Alina with a listless expression. "Give Silvia a call now.“
Looking at his tormented look, Alina felt sorry. She said, "Felix, Silvia is gone. Do you think she will come back if I called her?"
Felix shouted, "Call her now!"
“Okay, I'll call her." Alina grabbed Felix's phone in a fit of pique and dialed Silvia's phone number. The call was picked up almost immediately.
Alina turned on the loudspeaker. The person on the other end of the phone did not say anything. She glanced at Felix and upon receiving a knowing look, she said, "Silvia, Felix wants to see you."
“Silvia is already asleep." Alina had never expected that the person who answered the call would be Andrew. She was so frightened that her heart trembled. She then heard Andrew say, “Felix, I don't want you to bother Silvia anymore."
Just listening to Andrew's somber voice made Alina so scared that she did not even dare to utter a word. Just as she was at a loss, Felix parted his lips and said, "Andrew, since Silvia is already asleep, then let me remind you of a few things."
"Silvia is my wife. I know everything about her. You don't have to worry about it." After saying that, Andrew decisively hung up the phone.
Listening to the disconnected tone, Felix's face darkened. The look on his face had become so terrifying that Alina had unconsciously retreated. She wanted to keep a distance from him, but Felix's gaze halted her in her tracks.
Alina said with fear, "Felix, I..."
Felix said, “Pour me another glass of water and bring me the medicine."
Alina was surprised. "You... you're willing to take your medicine?"
Felix said, "I don't want to wait for my death here."
Alina said excitedly, "Okay, I'll go get it now."
After hanging up the call, Andrew returned to the room and looked at Silvia, who was not sleeping very soundly. He could not help but reach out to stroke Silvia's forehead. "Silvia, everyone has loved someone. Just forget about the past, and start a new life with the people around you, okay? Isn't that better?"
Andrew smiled bitterly and continued, "I used to think that I would never fall in love with anyone else in this life. I used to think that I would never be able to forget the person whom I should not have fallen in love with and that was why I refused treatment at that time. Now that I think about it, I realized that I was really silly back then."
Andrew shook his head, regretting the things that he had done in the past. He continued, "It wasn't until you've appeared in my life that I've realized how it felt like to have someone in my heart. It's not just about liking you, but to love you from the bottom of my heart. Be it you as an individual or your mind, I'm just so eager to make you mine."
Thinking of the heart throbbing moments that he had experienced when he was with Silvia, Andrew could not help but reminisce. "Silvia, I'm sure you don't know that my dying heart would begin to beat violently whenever you were around me. And whenever you keep yourself away from me, I would feel anxious and I would doubt myself. Perhaps, this is what love is, right?"
Andrew caressed Silvia's forehead and continued, "I grew up with Janell Joy and I'm used to giving her all the good things. I'm used to treating her well, so I didn't want anyone else to do that for her. In the past, I used to think that I love her. But after meeting you, I realized that it's just a brother's platonic love for a sister. It's not anything romantic."
CHAPTER 1435
"Andrew, are you telling the truth?" Silvia, who had fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Andrew expectantly. Looking into her eyes, Andrew could tell that there was an unconcealable slyness and excitement in them.
“Why aren‘t you asleep yet?" Andrew's face darkened.
How dare this girl pretend to be asleep? Knowing that Silvia had heard everything he had said to her, Andrew felt extremely embarrassed.
"Answer me, Andrew." Now that Andrew had finally confessed his love for her, Silvia was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Go to sleep!" Andrew pulled the quilt and tucked her in. "It‘s getting late.“
"I won't sleep if you don't answer me.“ When it came to being stubborn, Silvia was definitely better than Andrew.
"What I said is true." Since Silvia would not give up, Andrew had no choice but to admit it.
"What's true?" Silvia was not satisfied even after getting the answer she wanted. Seeing that this man was actually blushing, Silvia really could not help but want to tease him. He was really cute. He was so cute that she wanted to eat him.
"Go to sleep now!” Andrew rolled over and pulled her into his embrace. He warned her in a deep voice, "Silvia, if you don't sleep now, I‘ll eat you."
"I know you'll never do that." In fact, for the past few days, Silvia did notice his desires when he held her in his arms. But due to her current condition, he had no choice but to restrain himself. There was not once that he had forced her into it.
Andrew was not very good at expressing his feelings, but as long as Silvia tried to feel it with her heart, she could feel that everything he had done for her was out of love and consideration.
Sometimes, Silvia would even wonder what she had done to deserve such an outstanding man. But after thinking about it carefully, she thought that she was not that bad of a person herself, of course she could attract such an excellent man.
That's right, Silvia was that confident.
"Who told you that I won't do that?" Andrew turned over and pressed her under his body. He lowered his head and bit her lips, but Silvia could tell that he was not using any force at all. He was just gently nibbling her lips.
"Andrew, your fever hasn't gone down yet. Stop messing around. Go to sleep now.“ Silvia knew that they must not continue on like this. Otherwise, he would be the one suffering from his burning desire.
Silvia knew that she would be distressed if she were to see him suffering, so she thought that it would be best to call it quits before things got out of hand.
"Silvia..." Andrew looked at her and called out her name in a deep voice.
"Yeah?" Silvia subconsciously reached out her arms and hugged Andrew's waist. She buried her head in his chest and said softly, "If you really can't hold it in, i can help you out."
"Silvia, is this what you think about all day?" Andrew poked her head. Did she really think that he was a mindless beast?
"is that not what you're thinking about though?" Silvia looked at him with a suspicious look. Every corner of him was telling her that he wanted her desperately.
How dare he say that she was the one with filthy thoughts?
Silvia rolled her eyes at him. Andrew could not answer her.
However, it was probably because he had not been restraining himself in the past that Silvia would think he was a wolf in sheep’s skin. Hence, she was not to be blamed.
Andrew's silence made Silvia even more arrogant. "See, I was right, wasn‘t I?"
However, Andrew suddenly said with a solemn look, "Since you've heard what I said, then can you promise me that you will forget the past, so that we start all over?"
Silvia really wanted to promise him, but she had her own concerns too. "Andrew, Felix is in a bad condition now. I really can't bear to leave him behind at this point in time. Just let me help him out for now, okay?"
"Silvia, your Felix was no longer the Felix that you used to know." That was what Andrew wanted to tell Silvia, but taking into account Silvia's feelings, Andrew decided not to say it. Instead, he said, "Let's do that together.”
"Andrew, there's no need..."
“I'm worried that your feelings for him would rekindle when you start spending time alone with him." In actual fact, Andrew was worried that Felix would hurt Silvia. However, he could not bear to ruin the beautiful image that Felix had in Silvia's heart. Hence, he had to make up such an excuse.
"How can you say that, Andrew? If I want to get back with him, why would I go all the way to Jiangbei to look for you?" Silvia pushed Andrew away and rolled to the other side of the bed, "I'm warning you, I'm angry at you now. You'd better don't come near me anymore."
Andrew abided Silvia's words and did not move.
Silvia lifted her leg and kicked Andrew. "You bastard. How dare you ignore me for real? I've never seen you this obedient, have I?"
Andrew was angered, "What on earth do you want me to do then?"
Silvia beckoned to Andrew and said, "Come here! I want you to hug me to sleep."
Although Silvia was overbearing, Andrew was still willing to do as she said. He reached out and held her in his arms while stroking her hair like she was his pet. "Good girl, go to sleep now!"
Silvia nestled in his warm and thick arms and rubbed her face against his chest like a kitten. "That's more like it. You should behave like this more often. This is how a good husband should be like."
Andrew said, "Wasn't l a good husband before?"
Silvia said, "You were, but I hope you can do better in future."
Andrew smiled gently and said, "Okay, whatever my beloved wife says."
Silvia did not know what to say. Why did this man feel so unreal?
Why did blissful times like this feel like it was just a dream?
However, Silvia decided not to think about it anymore. She told herself that she would live her days happily and cherish the people around her.
After a good night's sleep, Silvia woke up early in the morning. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw that Andrew was staring at her with his gentle eyes. She blushed as she said, "Why are you staring at me like this? Do I have something on my face?"
"Good morning, Honey!" Andrew held her head and planted a kiss on her forehead. It was just an ordinary kiss, but Silvia had a head rush because of it. "Are you really the Andrew I know?"
His transformation was so drastic that it felt strange. Silvia wondered if Andrew was pulling a prank on her. Thinking of this, Silvia quickly got out of bed. "Andrew, don't you think of bullying me again."
"Silly girl, why do you always think that I'm going to bully you? Can't you think of something else instead?" Andrew poked her forehead. "Let's get out of bed now. If you don‘t get up now, I will throw you out in the snow."
Silvia grimaced in pain. "I dare you, Andrew!"
Andrew carried her in his arms and said, "If you‘re not going to move, I'll help you."
Silvia shouted, "What are you doing, Andrew? Can you not scare me like this?"
