CHAPTER 1191
With a solemn look, Andrew shoved Silvia into the car. He then got in next to her and ordered the driver to take them home.
Looking at his expression, Silvia knew that he was furious. She knew that if she did not calm him down in time, she would definitely be in trouble.
Silvia tugged the edge of his shirt and said softly, "Young Master Carter, please don't be angry, alright? Actually, I didn't drink much at all. I've already restrained myself from drinking too much."
She was reeking of alcohol and had been dancing in such a revealing outfit. She even had the audacity to say that she had already restrained herself! Andrew wondered what would happen if she had let loose?!
Was she going to get wasted and pass out on the streets? Or would she start stripping off her clothes and let the others look at her body?
As Andrew thought of these possibilities, he wished that he could just lock her up so that she could not step out of the house.
Andrew clenched his fists repeatedly. He was the one who was trying to restrain himself. Otherwise, he might have already thrown her into Madison River which was just outside Starie Blotie.
Andrew kept a somber face and did not utter a word at all. He was still angry. Silvia tried to get close to him, but she was worried that he would push her away. However, after hesitating for a while, she still chose to approach him.
Just as she was about to get close, Andrew immediately stretched out his long arm to stop her. "Sit down! Don't move!"
Now that he would not even let her get close to him, it simply meant that he was not going to forgive her so easily. Silvia had no choice but to explain patiently, "I used to drink at least two dozen mugs of beer and I would even mix it with all sorts of liquor. But I really didn't drink much today. I know that you don't like it when I drink, so I've actually poured away quite a lot of beer when Prince and Lemur weren't watching."
Speaking of this, Silvia felt a little aggrieved. She was an independent person after all. She needed her own personal space too.
Yes, it was true that they were a couple and they should understand and tolerate each other. However, Andrew was controlling her too much! She had no freedom at all.
Prince and Lemur were Silvia's childhood playmates. When she was at her lowest point in life, they never left her side and also gave her a lot of support.
So, how could she reject their invitation to have fun just because she was married? She couldn't let them tease her for neglecting them after getting into a relationship!
After a long explanation, the cold look on Andrew's face did not fade at all. Silvia reached out to hold his arm and said softly, "Young Master Carter, please don't be angry at me, okay? You look scary when you're angry."
Andrew's heart had actually begun to soften when he heard Silvia admit to pouring away the drinks. However, he knew that she was a liar and he occasionally could not discern the truth.
Since it was hard to tell, Andrew decided to continue to test her. He must not let her off easily. Otherwise, she would repeat her mistake again very soon.
However, Silvia knew what his weakness was, so she had decided not to play hardball with him. She said coyly, "Young Master Carter, as long as you stop being mad at me, I promise that I won't drink even a drop of alcohol in the next month. If I really want to drink, I will let you know and you'll decide how much I can drink!"
"Then what about your dancing?" The main issue that Andrew was angry about was not her drinking at the bar. What bothered him most was Silvia dancing with a bunch of men in such a provocative outfit.
"Blotie is my friend. I went on stage to dance because I wanted to help with her business. I didn't know that you would be unhappy because of this. Now that I know, I promise that I will never do it again. I will never do anything you dislike. I will listen to everything you say," Silvia said devoutly.
However, in Andrew's view, the more serious Silvia sounded, the more likely she was up to no good. He still had to test her.
Seeing that Andrew still wouldn't forgive her, Silvia continued, "Young Master Carter, I believe that you have friends, don't you? I believe that you would understand the feeling of wanting to help a friend out, right?"
Andrew said, "I don't have any friends."
He was telling the truth. He really did not have any close friends.
After his parents passed away in that accident, all of his friends had disappeared. Ever since he was being adopted into the Carter family, he had been focusing on being a 'good child', so he spent all of his time and energy on his studies and his businesses. He was so occupied that he had no time to make any friends at all.
At a young age, he already understood the importance of studying hard. He knew that only by constantly improving himself could he gain a foothold in such an outstanding family. Otherwise, how could he feel justified to stay in the Carter family?
He had no friends?!
However, it did not sound like it was a lie. Silvia leaned into Andrew's arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Andrew, it doesn't matter if you didn't have any friends in the past. From now on onwards, my friends will also be your friends."
Her simple sentence was enough to warm up Andrew's icy heart. Now that his heart was filled with warmth, the solemn look on his face was starting to fade away.
No matter how he looked at her, Silvia was just an ordinary girl, but she had the magical ability to warm his heart and make him feel at ease... With her around, he felt like everything was right.
Her words had obviously warmed up his heart, but Andrew said, "I don't give a cr‘p about your friends!"
As soon as Andrew said this, all the guilt that Silvia felt earlier vanished. She pushed him away and said, "Huh... Andrew, don't think that you are that great just because you're rich... People like you really deserve to have no friends!"
"Why would you want to befriend someone who does not bring any benefits to you?" Andrew said with a faint smile, "Silvia, let me teach you another lesson today. There is no such thing as friends forever nor will there be enemies for life in this world. What matters is mutual benefit, only then would a relationship last!"
"So what can you get from me then?" This was Silvia's initial reaction when she heard him. He had spent so much money on her, so he must want something in return.
"What can I get from you?" Andrew scrutinized her and continued, "We've been together for so long now, do you really not know what I can get from you?"
"To warm the bed for you?" Was it just because of this very reason? If that was really the case, then there are countless women who wanted to warm the bed for him. Why would it be Silvia?
If Andrew were to agree with her, then he was either lying or he must have some secrets that she was not aware of... However, they had never met before knowing each other, so what kind of secret could he be hiding?
“It's not only to warm the bed for me. You make me feel good, and..." Andrew suddenly leaned into Silvia's ear and whispered some words.
After listening to what he had said, Silvia immediately flung her fist at him, scolding. "You dirty b‘stard!"
CHAPTER 1192
After Andrew had brought Silvia home, Audrey, who was hiding under the table, finally emerged. She tidied up her slightly messy clothes and took out a mirror to fix her make-up.
Audrey would always remind herself that no matter what situation she was in, she would maintain her elegance and composure. She must not miss a chance to be noticed by a rich man.
It was already rare for a woman to meet a rich bachelor. lf Audrey were to meet one but lose the opportunity because of her image, that would definitely be the biggest loss in her entire life.
"Audrey, Boss abandoned us again." Prince and Lemur were so drunk that they had no sense of crisis at all when they saw Andrew took Silvia away. They did not realize that Andrew could actually ban them from drinking with just a flick of his hand. Now, they even dared to complain to Audrey that Silvia had left them behind again.
"Since Silvia has left and both of you are so drunk, why don't we wrap it up for today? We'll do it again some other day, how about that?" Audrey was also worried when she saw these two drunk men who were not in their right minds.
Prince and Lemur had not drunk to their heart's content so they wanted to continue. "Audrey, our boss left early because she has someone who will accompany her at home. The three of us are single and there's no one waiting for us at home, so why do we need to go back home so early?"
Audrey had no choice, so she said, "Okay then. Since you two still wanted to drink, I'll drink with you guys until you guys are satisfied, okay? Blotie, could you please give us another round of beer."
Blotie personally delivered the beer and asked, "Was the man who took Silvia away just now the man that Silvia had vomited all over the last time?"
"Yeah, that's right," Audrey said while nodding her head.
Blotie could not hold back her nosiness so she asked again, "Who is that man?"
"I don‘t know," Audrey said while shaking her head. "Why don't you ask Silvia about it some other day."
Blotie could tell that Audrey knew who that man was, but was unwilling to share, so she smiled and said, "Oh okay, I won't bother you guys anymore then. You guys can just drink anything you like, it's on the house."
"Thanks!" Since Blotie had already said so, the three of them did not hold themselves back anymore. Each of them took a bottle of beer and started drinking again.
While they were drinking, Prince complained, "After Boss and Young Master Carter got together, we are really spending a lot less time with each other. Do you think that she will forget us eventually?"
Listening to Prince's words, Lemur agreed. "Alas, I also think that the time that Boss spends with us is getting lesser now. I'm worried that she will suddenly disappear one day and we will not be able to find her ever again."
Listening to their conversation, Audrey felt funny. "You guys are worried for nothing. You guys are so close to Silvia, how could she forget about you guys?"
Prince said, "Well Audrey, there are some things that you don't know."
Audrey said, "What is it? Tell me."
In order to please Audrey, Prince had completely forgotten that Silvia had warned him not to mention Felix to anyone else. He said, "Before Boss got together with Young Master Carter, she had dated another guy. lt was Felix Xavier, the guy who she liked for a long time."
Audrey nodded. She knew about this. Audrey also knew that Felix was also the very reason why Silvia was not willing to admit her feelings for Andrew.
Prince added, "When Boss was dating Felix, she had never neglected us. She had never rejected us to go out and have fun. Sometimes when they went out for a date, she would even ask Lemur and I to come along."
Regardless of gender, it was usual for a new couple to spend all day together in the first phase of the relationship.
When Silvia was at that phase, she would never keep away from any gatherings and she would even bring her friends along on her dates.
Listening to what Prince had said, Audrey could not help but to doubt whether Silvia was really in love with Felix.
Perhaps not.
Silvia grew up with Felix. He was kind to her, and she was touched by his constant care. She thought that what they had between them was love, but in fact, they were just closer than any other ordinary friends.
Of course, this was Silvia's relationship, and Audrey had found out all about it only through Prince. So, she would never know what Silvia's true thoughts and feelings were. Only Silvia would know how she felt for Felix.
Prince spoke a lot, but Audrey did not respond to him at all. He urged, "Audrey, tell us your opinion on this."
Audrey immediately brushed off her thoughts and said with a smile, "If Silvia and Young Master Carter went on a date and happened to ask the two of you to tag along, would you guys dare to go though?"
Prince and Lemur's silence was their answer. Not only that the two of them would not dare to follow, even Audrey would not be able to do so, unless she wanted to get into trouble again.
After a moment of silence, Lemur spoke, "Sometimes I really wish that Felix was still around. He would not stop Boss from going out with us. He would even join us and have fun together. Whenever I thought of this, I would recall the moments when Boss was with Andrew and I've noticed that Boss had become a little more ladylike after she had gotten together with him."
Prince nodded his head and said, "Lemur, I do miss Felix too, but we don't even know whether he is still alive... We should just let Boss live a happy life with Young Master Carter."
"What are you guys thinking?" Audrey knocked her beer bottle against their heads, before speaking in a stern voice. "I don't know how good Felix was, but I only know that he had abandoned Silvia when she was at her lowest. This alone, he does not deserve Silvia's love. And let me tell you, if any of you dare to talk about Felix in front of Silvia, I will not spare your lives."
Prince said, "Audrey, we're just having a casual conversation here. It's not that we will actually do something to destroy their relationship. In fact, we are quite pleased with Young Master Carter. Although he is much older than Boss, fortunately, he is good-looking. That alone is enough to make up for the age difference."
Lemur nodded and said, "Our boss is only 20 years old but Young Master Carter is already in his late twenties. Perhaps others might actually accuse him of robbing the cradle if they were to see them together."
Audrey said, ”What do you guys know? Only older men would know how to treat a woman right. To be honest, women don't really fancy guys who are in their early twenties like the two of you.
Prince and Lemur were speechless.
Audrey, Prince, and Lemur were drinking and discussing Silvia's affairs, but little did they know that there was someone behind them who had his eyes fixed on them, watching their every move.
When that person heard that Young Master Carter and Silvia were in a relationship, the glass he was gripping tightly shattered instantly.
The shattered glass pierced into the man's palm, and blood was starting to flow out. However, he did not seem to care about the wound on his palm at all and his eyes were still fixed on the three of them.
However, on a closer look, one could tell that the man's gaze was not focused. The man looked tike he was staring at Audrey and the others, but actually, he was looking at someone else past them.
CHAPTER 1193
Due to her mistake, Silvia still did not dare to behave recklessly after they arrived home.
In order to please Andrew, Silvia, who never cooked, stepped into the kitchen for the very first time. "Auntie Cherry, is there anything that I can help you with?"
Auntie Cherry was surprised to see her in the kitchen. "Miss Turner, the kitchen is not where you should be. You should go to the living room and rest for a bit before dinner."
"Auntie Cherry, please let me help you." Silvia approached Auntie Cherry and said coquettishly, "Auntie Cherry, Young Master Carter is angry with me again. I want to do something to please him."
"You two just can't live a day without quarreling with each other huh?" Auntie Cherry tapped on Silvia's nose with a doting look in her eyes and said, "The Master just went upstairs to change his clothes. When he comes down, could you please take this pot of soup to the dining table? Make sure that he sees you taking it."
"Auntie Cherry, you're the best!" Silvia hugged Auntie Cherry and turned around to take the pot of soup. However, Silvia did not know that the handles of the pot were, in fact, steaming hot. She put her hands directly on the handles and let out a loud hiss in an instant. It was so painful that she almost threw the pot onto the ground.
"Miss Turner!" Auntie Cherry was shocked and she was starting to panic when she saw that Silvia had accidentally scalded her hand. "Quick, let me see where did you get burnt."
It actually did not hurt that much. Besides, Silvia did not want Auntie Cherry to think that could not do anything right, so Silvia said. "I'm fine, it‘s not painful."
Auntie Cherry wanted to say something, but Silvia had already turned to pick up a damp towel. She wrapped it on the pot handles and walked to the dining table with the pot in her hands.
Meanwhile, Andrew was also walking towards the dining table. Silvia could tell that Andrew had already changed into his loungewear, but she still said, "Young Master Carter, you're done changing your clothes?"
Andrew ignored her and sat at the dining table. Silvia immediately served him a bowl of soup. "This soup is still a little hot. Drink it when it's slightly cooler. Be careful not to burn your tongue, okay?"
No matter what she said or did, Andrew acted as if she was transparent, and did not even take a glance at her.
Throughout their time together, whenever Andrew was angry, he would ignore Silvia. Even if he ignored her, Silvia knew she must not give up, she needed to work hard so that he would forgive her.
She picked up a bowl and blew the soup. Then, she stirred the soup with a spoon and tasted it. "The temperature is just right now. You can drink it now if you want."
Silvia did not realize her intimate actions! She was asking Andrew to drink the bowl of soup that she had just tasted!
However, Andrew was not disgusted by the soup she had tasted, nor did he mind that the spoon may have her saliva. He immediately drank the bowl of soup with her spoon!
Andrew put the bowl down after finishing the soup and wanted to wipe his mouth clean. As soon as he raised his hand, Silvia immediately passed him a piece of tissue to him. She looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Here you go, Young Master Carter."
Andrew glanced at the tissue in her hand, but did not take it. He insisted on taking a tissue himself, but Silvia once again grabbed another piece of tissue and shook it in front of Andrew. "Young Master Carter, here you go!"
Andrew did not want to talk to her, but he also did not want to see that bright and charming smile disappear from her face, so he reluctantly took over the tissue that Silvia had handed him.
Silvia continued to take care of Andrew as he carried on with his meal. She was so well behaved, like a docile and considerate wife. She would take care of everything before he could do it himself, eagerly pleasing him.
After the meal, Andrew reached out his hand to get a glass of water. Silvia immediately handed it to him and said, "Young Master Carter, please let me help you. You don't have to do it yourself."
Throughout the meal, which took about half an hour, Silvia had been repeating this phrase, "Young Master Carter, please," and Andrew was starting to feel a little irritated. He coldly glanced at her and said, "No, I'm not thirsty anymore."
"Don't drink it if you're not thirsty then." Silvia really wanted to punch his face. She wanted to ask him why was he being so arrogant, but she could not.
Then he said that he was not thirsty, she had no choice but to withdraw her hand and put on a bright smile. "Young Master Carter, now that you're full, why don't I give you a little massage?"
Andrew refused, "There's no need for that!"
No matter how indifferent he was, Silvia would still maintain her enthusiasm. "If that is the case, can I help you with anything else?"
Andrew said, "No!" He immediately got up and went upstairs, without saying a word to Silvia.
Silvia raised her fist behind him and cursed at him in her heart, "Very well, I know that I'm at fault today, so I'll let you do whatever you like, you b‘stard. If you make any mistakes in the future, I'll definitely get back at you."
However, while she was doing that, Andrew, who was walking up the stairs, had unexpectedly turned his head and saw Silvia's fist hanging in the air.
Reacting quickly, Silvia immediately waved to him. "Hey, Young Master Carter, if there is anything that you need, let me know, okay?"
He knew what she was doing behind him, but he said calmly, "Come upstairs after you're done with your work. Go and warm up the bed for me.”
"Yes, Sir!" Silvia replied happily.
She had never thought that warming up the bed for that b‘stard would ever delight her, but now, she was over the moon.
Since he had asked her to do so, that would mean that he was no longer angry at her. Therefore, she would not have to worry that he would punish her with his brutal means anymore.
Andrew went to the study while Silvia went back to her room to take a bath. After washing up, she went over to his room to warm the bed for him. "B‘stard, you must have saved the country in your past life to have me warming up the bed for you."
Because of the alcohol and the tension that Silvia had been feeling trying to please Andrew, Silvia ended up falling asleep immediately after getting on to the bed.
Andrew returned to his bedroom after finishing up his work in the study, and saw that Silvia was already asleep on his bed. She was sleeping so soundly that she did not look like someone at fault who was being punished at all.
Andrew sat on the bed and reached out to pinch her soft and tender cheek. "Silly girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't learn your mistakes."
When he covered his warm palm on her face, Silvia instinctively rubbed her face against his palm and continued her sleep.
Looking at her adorable look, Andrew felt that his throat was a little dry. He could not help but lower his head and kiss her. As he kissed her, he wanted more, so he pulled Silvia into his arms and held her tightly.
Silvia was sleeping soundly but when she felt someone disturbing her, she raised her hand and pushed him away. However, Andrew grabbed her hand and said, “Silly girl, it's not that I don't know how to control myself. It's because you're too attractive."
When he was about to take things further, he noticed that there were several blisters on Silvia's palm. He remembered that her hands were fine before they got home, so when did she get these blisters?
Andrew's eyes darkened and he immediately woke her up from her sleep. "What happened to your hand? When did you get these blisters?"
"Mm... what..." Silvia was still in a daze and she did not know what he was talking about. She glanced at him but closed her eyes to continue to sleep.
Andrew looked at her angrily and at the same time, he took out his mobile phone and gave Dr. Thames 3 phone call. "I need you to come here now.“
CHAPTER 1194
Dr. Thames was already used to being woken up in the middle of the night, so she immediately rushed over to Andrew's villa as soon as she got the call.
However, she did not expect that the person who had made her come over in the middle of night was not Andrew but Silvia, who was sleeping on Andrew's bed.
She was sleeping so soundly that she was not even aware that someone had entered the room. What could be wrong with her?
Dr. Thames could not figure it out, but Andrew immediately gave her the answer that she wanted. "There are a few blisters on both of her palms. Could you please take a look and see what caused them?"
Just a few blisters on her palms! Did Andrew have to be so anxious about it that he had to call Dr. Thames over to the house in the middle of the night?
Despite being a little annoyed, Dr. Thames did not dare to delay any longer. She immediately went up to check on Silvia who was lying on the bed. Before Dr. Thames could do so, Andrew had already carried Silvia into his arms and showed Dr. Thames her palms. "Please take a look at it. I don't want anything to happen to her."
With just a glance, Dr. Thames could tell that it was just a minor burn. Even without any topical medication, those blisters would dry up and Silvia's hands will be as good as new in a few days.
However, such a trivial injury was enough to make Andrew, who did not even fear his own death, to be so anxious.
For the past three years, Dr. Thames had witnessed Andrew hovering on the edge of life and death countless times. She had seen him being in severe, torturous pain. However, there was not once she had seen him panic as he did now.
When Andrew's life was in danger, Dr. Thames had never seen him being anxious at all. However, Silvia's minor injury could actually make such a calm and collected man lose his cool.
"Why are you still standing there?" Andrew's roar had snapped Dr. Thames out of her trance. She immediately said, "Miss Turner is suffering from a minor scald. I'll apply some ointment on them and she'll be fine in the morning."
"That's it? There won't be any complications?" Andrew held Silvia's hand tightly and questioned Dr. Thames repeatedly, "Will it get infected? Will there be any other issues?"
"Sir, this is really just a minor injury. I'll apply some ointment on her blisters. She will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow morning." Dr. Thames turned around and fetched some ointment from the first-aid kit. She then said, "Sir, I know that I shouldn't be saying this, but Miss Turner's injury is very minor. On the other hand, you should take good care of your body. The injuries you suffered are more serious than Miss Turner's. If you don't take care of yourself... who would be going to take care of Miss Turner in the future?"
"Stop being so nosy!" Andrew told Dr. Thames off and grabbed the ointment from her hand. "You're no longer needed here. You can go now."
"Sir, I know that you've been working out regularly and you do look fit and strong. However, the gunshot wound is near to your heart. You should know clearly that it was near fatal, so you need to finish the medicine I've prepared for you. If you continue to drag things on, even God would not be able to save you."
Dr. Thames had always wanted to say these words to Andrew, but she never had the courage to do so. However, she now gave him a piece of her mind as she knew he finally had someone he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.
Andrew said coldly, "Get out!"
Dr. Thames had already said her mind, so she need not stay any longer. She glanced at Andrew, picked up her bag and left. She even thoughtfully closed the door.
However, Dr. Thames really could not figure things out. How did Silvia make Andrew care for her like this? That girl was just a troublemaker!
When she thought of this, Dr. Thames felt that all of these were somewhat ridiculous. Since when had Andrew been predictable? He would always do whatever he wanted, and no one could ever read his mind.
As she shook her head, Dr. Thames smiled bitterly and left the villa.
............
In the room.
Andrew read through the instructions on the bottle and started applying the ointment on Silvia's hands. While doing so, Silvia suddenly opened her eyes and said angrily, "You're so shameless Andrew!"
It turned out that Silvia was pretending to be asleep. Andrew's face darkened, but his hands did not slow down. "What are you talking about?"
"Hmph..." Silvia glared at him. "You always go around picking up girls just because you have a good looking face. Was it wrong to say that you're shameless?"
He had asked that beautiful Dr. Thames to come over to the house in the middle of the night. Andrew said that it was all because of Silvia, but who knew what the actual reason was? It could be because he wanted to see Dr. Thames, right?!
However, Silvia did not say it out loud. If she did, Andrew, that b‘stard, would definitely think that she was jealous.
What good would she get for being jealous?!
She did not want to be jealous because of him.
This young lady often talked nonsense, so Andrew never took her words to heart. All he cared about was the blisters on her palms. He ordered, "Give me your hand, and stop moving."
Silvia stretched out her hand obediently and did not move. However, she just could not keep her mouth shut. "Andrew, can I ask you something? What kind of woman do you like?"
Andrew applied the ointment on her hand. "What do you think?"
"I'm guessing someone that is gentle, mature, sexy and charming, right?" Silvia thought of Dr. Thames, who was in her early thirties, as she answered. Dr. Thames was exactly like how Silvia had just described. Even as a woman herself, Silvia could not help but to be attracted by her. She did not believe that Andrew would not like a woman like her.
Gentle, mature, sexy, and charming?
Andrew raised his head and looked at Silvia. She was completely different from the all adjectives she had just mentioned.
Since he did not deny it, that would mean that he agreed to it. Silvia was upset. "Dr. Thames is a typical gentle, mature, sexy, and charming woman. Don't tell me that you like her, do you?"
She acted like she was just asking a casual question. However, she was even controlling her breath as she waited for his answer. To be honest, she was really worried that Andrew would actually admit that he liked Dr. Thames.
"Hiss..." As soon as she finished speaking, Andrew pinched her palm and popped one of the blisters. It was so painful that Silvia shouted. "Andrew, are you trying to kill me!"
"Oh, so you can actually feel the pain huh?" Did she know not how uncomfortable he felt when she said those words?
"I'm a living person, of course, I can feel the pain." This man was really annoying. "Was it because I guessed it correctly? So you're being mad now? Ah ah ah... it hurts..." That b‘stard popped another blister again, making Silvia cry tears of pain.
That must be it. Silvia had seen through him, and that was why he was using such a method to get back at her. This b’stard must have secretly fallen in love with Dr. Thames, but Dr. Thames was not interested in him, so that was why he had ended up with her.
If that was really the case, then Silvia was probably just a tool to agitate Dr. Thames. Besides that, Silvia was also a plaything for him to satisfy his desires.
Thinking of this possibility, Silvia felt a sharp pain in her heart. Two drops of tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes. However, she bit her lips and wiped her tears away. She did not want to seem like a weak person in front of him.
CHAPTER 1195
However, things would never go as planned. The more Silvia tried to hold back her tears, the more uncontrollable her tears were.
Looking at her tears, Andrew knew that he had gone too hard on her. However, he did not know how to comfort her, so he lowered his head and continued to apply the ointment on her hands. "If you know that it hurts, then you should be a good girl and don't talk nonsense!"
Silvia wiped her tears away and said fiercely, "B'stard, since when did I talk nonsense? You are the one who was bullying me!"
For Silvia, the pain in her hand was not a big deal at all. However, the bitterness in her heart was the thing that was suffocating her. She felt like she was going to die from it.
In her lifetime, she had only experienced this feeling once. The first time was when her father had passed away, and this was the second time...
She did not know what the reason was, but whenever she thought of the reasons why he had kept her by his side, she would feel terribly awful.
Andrew, that b‘stard, was not someone important to her anyway. Who was he to make her feel so awful? What right did he have?
After applying the ointment on her palms, Andrew looked up at her. The moment he saw her tears, he felt distressed. He couldn't help but reach out to wipe away her tears and said, "It's all my fault."
However, as soon as he reached out his hand, Silvia gave him a hard punch on the chest and scolded, "B‘stard, you're a b‘stard! Who are you to do this to me?“
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a b‘stard. Can you stop crying then?" He really had no way to deal with her when she cried.
"Why should I stop crying just because you asked me to?" Silvia wiped her tears and cursed at him while crying, "B‘stard. Why? Who are you to do this to me?"
How could he make her miss him so dearly? How could he make her care so much whether he likes other women? How could he make her care about what she was to him? How could he make her feel so inferior? Who was he to make her feel like sh‘t?
"Yes, I shouldn't have bullied you." Andrew pulled her into his arms and patted her back gently. "Alright, be a good girl, don't cry anymore, okay?"
"I want to cry! I haven't cried enough!" As long as Andrew did not know the real reason why she was being so sad, she had nothing to fear about. She would cry as much as she wanted for him to see. After all, he was the one who made her sad.
Andrew said helplessly, "How old are you already? Why are you still crying like a child?"
"It's none of your business!" She snuggled up in his arms and cried out loud. "Andrew, I warn you, if you dare to sleep with another woman behind my back, I won't let you off easily."
Andrew said, "What would you do to me then?"
Silvia said, "So you've actually thought about it?"
"I've never thought about it even once." He could barely handle her alone. If he were to look for other women, he would definitely be dead on his feet. Hence, he would never look for other women anymore.
"Don‘t you even dare to think about it." Silvia hugged him overbearingly. "As long as I'm still here by your side, you'd better not think about anything that's out of line."
No matter what the reason was, since they were now together, they should stay loyal to each other. They must not do unruly things that would break the trust between them.
Andrew answered with certainty, "I will never do that."
Silvia said, "Hmph..."
Andrew rubbed her head and said, "Alright, it's getting late already. You still have classes to attend tomorrow. You should go to sleep now."
Silvia lay on his chest and did not answer him. After a long time, Andrew thought she had fallen asleep. However, she suddenly whispered, "I won't too."
Andrew did not grasp what she was trying to say at first. After a short daze, Andrew finally realized she meant that she would not do anything that was out of line behind his back too. It turned out that she was not only asking him to put in the effort, she was also working hard on it herself.
Thinking of this, a smile slowly crept across Andrew's face as he tightened his arms around her. So the feeling of being taken to heart actually felt like this. it was a little sour, a little bitter, but very sweet.
.........
After giving Wayne full authority to take care of Wateria Corporation's affairs, Silvia no longer had to go to the company every single day. She could finally attend her classes like a normal student.
As soon as she arrived at the university that day, she had received a text message from an unknown number. The message wrote, “I have a secret to tell you. If you want to know, then meet me at the bar opposite of the south gate of the school."
Silvia had no idea what the secret was nor did she know who the sender of this message was. She thought that it was just a spam message so she deleted it in an instant.
After deleting the message, Silvia immediately put this matter behind her. She attended her morning class and then had lunch at the school canteen with Prince and Lemur.
As soon as Silvia sat down, her mobile phone rang again. She unlocked it and saw another message from the same unknown number that had sent her a text message that very morning. "Silvia, you really are a heartless person. It has only been a few months, and you've already forgotten about your dear Felix?"
Felix?
Looking at the name, Silvia was no longer in the right mind. She stopped eating and ran out of the canteen. Prince, who was confused about her behavior, immediately caught up with her and asked, "Boss, did something happen?"
"Get out of the way!" Silvia pushed Prince away. Then, she rushed towards the south gate like a madman, to the bar mentioned in the first message.
It was noon time, and there were very few customers in the bar. With a glance, Silvia could see everyone in the bar clearly. Silvia quickly glanced through the bar but she did not see Felix around. However, she saw someone she knew. It was her rival, Alina.
When Silvia's gaze fell on Alina, Silvia noticed that Alina was also looking at her. She waved to Silvia and said, "Silvia, I'm here."
After Alina was expelled from the university a month ago, Silvia had not received any news about her ever since. These days, Silvia had been busy with the company's affairs, so she had almost forgotten about her existence.
However, Alina had shown up at an inappropriate time. Silvia could not bother to entertain Alina, so she turned and wanted to leave. At that instant, Alina's sharp voice sounded behind her, "Silvia, there is no Felix or whatsoever at all. I'm the one who is looking for you. I have a secret that I want to tell you."
"You..." At that instant, Silvia felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head, making her sober up.
What was she thinking? Felix had disappeared for such a long time. If he really were to show up, he would have done that a long time ago. He would not have waited until now.
However, Alina said that she was looking for Silvia. What secret did she have that she wanted to tell her? Silvia did not think that she was that close to Alina that she would tell her about her secrets.
"Take a seat first, Silvia. Are you afraid that I will eat you alive in broad daylight?" Alina said with a smile. It was like how it used to be. Her smile never looked genuine and that was one of the reasons why Silvia never liked her.
Since Alina had put in so much effort to get her here, Silvia decided to sit down and listen to what Alina had to say. "Speak now."
