LM 

CHAPTERS 1276 - 1280







CHAPTER 1276 



Prince and Lemur worked together and listed all the big shots in Madison City on a piece of paper. The list obviously included the most mysterious figure of Madison City, Mr. Carter. 


Lemur looked at the name "Mr. Carter" and immediately thought of Young Master Carter, who they had met a few times. "Prince, should we remove this Mr. Carter from the list?" 


It was after careful consideration that Prince had decided to write down Mr. Carter, so he said, "We all know that Mr. Carter wouldn't be the one to do that to Felix, but we are now listing down the names of big shots in Madison City. If he's not included in the list, who else do you think deserved to be called a big shot?" 


Lemur said, "Well, you're right, but I don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstanding between Boss and Young Master Carter. After all, Young Master Carter has done a lot to help Boss since Felix's disappearance. We really mustn't let them get into a fight with each other anymore." 


Prince hesitated and asked, "Why don't we make a new list then?" 


"You guys don't have to worry about it too much, okay?" Silvia, who had just returned from the washroom, grabbed the name list and casually glanced through it. "I can still tell who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. I won‘t get into a fight with Andrew just because Mr. Carter is on this list." 


Lemur said, "Boss, it's no doubt that Young Master Carter is really good to you, so you should cherish him. Don't argue with him for no reason! Frankly, men really hate unreasonable women!" 


"Just cut the crap already, will you?" Silvia was completely focused on finding the murderer, so she was not in the mood to talk about Andrew at all. "Now, help me analyze the background of these people. We must not let go of any clues.“ 


In the past, Felix would usually spend most of his time with Silvia. They would go to school and go home together. They were so close to each other that it felt like they had become one. However, Silvia had never seen Felix having anything to do with any of the big shots in Madison City, so she could only use this foolish method to find out the truth. 


Despite it being silly, Silvia believed that as long as she had put enough effort into it, she would still be able to gather at least some clues! 


"Okay." Prince and Lemur replied. Then, the three of them started analyzing the people on the list. However, they still could not find any new leads after a few hours of analysis. 


"Boss, rumor has it that it could be the big shot who had banished Felix from the city! But this could be a baseless rumor or even a news that the culprit had released in order to cover up his doings!" 


"Well, that's possible too." Silvia rubbed her aching temples and said feebly, "Prince, Lemur, it's getting late now. Let's wrap up for tonight. You guys can go home first.“ 


Prince asked, "Boss, are you not going home?" 


Silvia leaned against the chair and answered, "I'll go home in a bit. Go ahead!" 


"Let's leave together then." If Silvia was going to stay back, then how could Prince and Lemur feel at ease leaving her behind? 


Silvia put on a wry smile and said, "I won't let anything happen to me before I find Felix's murderer. I must avenge him, so you guys, stop worrying about me, okay?" 


Prince and Lemur said, "Boss...“ 


Silvia waved her hand and said, "Just leave me alone! I need some time by myself to think about all this, please!" 


"Okay..." Knowing Silvia's stubborn temper, Prince and Lemur stopped persuading her. "You should go home soon! If there's anything, make sure you give us a call immediately, alright?" 


"Okay, thanks!" Prince and Lemur both grew up with Silvia. They had never abandoned her even when she was in trouble after her father's death. It was the same now. Silvia often thought that she was lucky to have such great friends in this life. 


Soon after Prince and Lemur had left, Silvia's phone rang. It was an unknown number, but Silvia answered it without a second thought. "Hello? Who is this?" 


“Silvia, it's me!" Alina Bell replied in a sweet voice. "It had just been a while since we've met. Have you already forgotten me?" 


"What's up this time?" It was because of Mr. Donald's case that Alina had called Silvia previously. Hence, Alina must have a reason for calling again now. 


“Silvia, I'm sure that you've already seen the photo of Felix lying in a pool of blood," Alina said with a grin. 


"You killed him?!" Silvia was surprised that Alina actually knew about this. The first thing that came into her mind at that very moment was to think that Alina was closely related to the culprit. 


"Me? Hahaha..." Alina laughed hysterically. "Silvia, don't you think that you are thinking too highly of me? l'm just a toy under someone else's thumb, do you really think that I would have the ability to kill your Felix? Besides, I like Felix too much to be able to hurt him." 


Silvia's first response was to suspect Alina. However, after calming herself down, she knew that Alina would not have the ability to do so. Even if she was the culprit, she would not have exposed herself like this. "Alina, you are not the murderer, but you know who did it, don't you?" 


"I don't know much either, hahaha…" Alina continued to laugh like a maniac. "Silvia, I'm sure that it didn't feel good seeing your beloved man lying in a pool of blood... Oh no, maybe, you are happy. After all, you have found yourself a new lover, didn't you? With the powerful and handsome Young Master Carter by your side, I suppose that you've completely forgotten about Felix, right?" 


"Alina, tell me what you know." Silvia ignored everything Alina had said. She only cared about the clues that Alina had at hand. 


Silvia believed that as long as she could get her hand on some of the clues, she would definitely be able to ferret out the killer and avenge Felix, so that Felix could finally rest in peace. 


“Silvia, you bitch, why are you still trying to pretend?" Alina snorted. "Since you've already found another man, then you should just live a good life. Felix is now in your past and his life and death has nothing to do with you anymore." 


Silvia was so exasperated that she wanted to smash the phone. "Alina, you f*cking called me to give me clues about it, didn't you? So why are you talking all this nonsense to me now? Tell me or I'll really kill you." 


Silvia knew Alina's character very well. Alina would not tell her what she wanted to know that easily. 


"Wow... You're being so arrogant now that you're with Young Master Carter, huh?" Alina was satisfied by the fact that she was pissing Silvia off. "Kill me? Tell me Silvia. Tell me how you‘re going to kill me. Do you really think that I'm afraid of you?" 







CHAPTER 1277



“Alina, what do you want? Tell me who the culprit is!" Indeed, Silvia was very eager to get the clues from Alina as she was desperate to take revenge on Felix‘s behalf. This was Silvia's weakness and Alina knew it very well. 


"You're asking me what I want?" Alina continued to laugh hysterically. After a while, she suddenly said fiercely, "I want you to go to hell, Silvia Turner. If you die at this instant, I'll then tell you the clues that I have now." 


"Huh... I'm afraid that I'll have to disappoint you. I have no intention of giving up on my life at all." Silvia's parents had given birth to her and worked hard to raise her, how could she take her life so easily? She would never do that! Moreover, she also believed that Felix would not want that! 


Many years ago, Silvia had been kidnapped and tortured with extreme means, and she almost did not survive. 


Up till this moment, she could still remember what Felix had said to her. He said, "Dying is very easy. You could die by stabbing yourself with a knife, or you could just poison yourself. Instead, it's more difficult to survive and live life to the fullest extent under all circumstances." 


Because of Felix‘s words, Silvia held on until her father and Felix had come to save her. She had been thrown into icy cold waters and almost froze to death! 


After that incident, she was completely traumatized. She hid in her room all day and did not dare meet anyone. lt was Felix who broke into her room and told her, holding her hands, "Silvia, as long as we are still alive, everything that we have experienced will not be a big deal. From now on, let's live a wonderful life, so that we will leave this world contentedly in the future.“ 


Yes, as long as she was alive, there would be hope. Even if Alina had refused to give her the clues, Silvia believed that she could still find out who the culprit was and avenge Felix, who had died a miserable death. 


"Huh..." Alina sneered and said, "Bitch, since you said that you're not going to die, it means that you don't want the clues and you don't want to avenge Felix anymore, do you?" 


"It's up to myself if I want to avenge Felix. It has nothing to do with you. Don't call me again in the future. I don't want to hear your disgusting voice ever again." Alina was unwilling to provide any clues, and Silvia thought it was impossible for her to get anything out of Alina, so she decided to hang up. 


"Silvia, if I don't give you any clues, you will never find out who the culprit is," Alina quickly added before Silvia could hang up. So, Silvia paused. 


Knowing that Silvia was still listening, Alina added, "Silvia, why are you still trying to act like a saint? I really feel sorry for Felix. Why did he fall in love with a slut like you? It had only been a few months since his disappearance, but you've already bedded Young Master Carter. Oh, by the way, I really want to know who's better in bed, Felix or Young Master Carter?" 


"If you want to know,then why don't you go experience it yourself?" Knowing that Alina has no intention of providing her with the clues, Silvia thought that it would be useless to continue on with the conversation. Therefore, Silvia hung up the phone, not giving Alina any more chances to speak. 


However, Alina refused to give up. She sent a text message to Silvia. "Silvia, you don't have to worry about how Felix died. Just go keep your Young Master Carter company and live a good life. And here's a gentle reminder, take a good look at the people around you, they might be just wolves in sheep's clothing." 


After the message was sent, Alina put away her phone and tilted her head to look at the man standing next to her. "You heard everything, didn't you? I don't think the call would work out like how you intended it to." 


"We'll know very soon if it worked." The man stood in front of the window and looked at the vivid lights outside. His gaze was deep and somber. "Silvia, I know you have your own difficulties, and I know that you don't want to be with Andrew. Don't be afraid, I will come save you very soon." 


Felix looked out of the window, and Alina looked at him. This man was someone who she wanted to have all this while but could not get... 


In the past, she could not even think of standing next to him this way. Now, her dream had finally come true. She could finally spend time alone with Felix! 


Alina reached out, wanting to grab him, but before she could even touch him, she withdrew her quivering hand. She was a ruined woman, and no longer deserved to be with him! 


"Alina..." 


Just as Alina was withdrawing her hand with disappointment, Felix suddenly called her name, which made her eyes lit up with hope. She put on a faint smile and said, "Hmm? What's the matter?" 


Felix looked back and stared at Alina solemnly. "I want you to be nicer to Silvia in the future. I don't want to hear you cursing at her anymore." 


After listening to his words, the hope in her eyes began to extinguish. Eventually, her eyes turned dull and gloomy... 


Huh... What had Alina been thinking? 


In the past, before everything had happened, Felix would never take a look at her because of Silvia. Now, she's just a woman who Mr. Donald had defIIed. It was impossible for Felix to ever fancy Alina at all! 


After a silence, Alina asked, "Why did you save me?" 


She had been violated by Mr. Donald and expelled from University A. After knowing about the truth, not only did her father not comfort her, he even assaulted her... At that time, Alina was completely hopeless, so she chose to take her own life. 


Just as she was breathing her last breath, Felix suddenly appeared. He saved her and urged her to live on. He even suggested a plan to take down Mr. Donald. 


Under Felix's guidance, Alina found Silvia and handed her the explicit photos that Mr. Donald had taken of the female students. She used Silvia and Andrew to help put Mr. Donald into jail and avenged herself. 


After Mr. Donald's incident, she began to work for Felix. 


"I thought that I've already made it clear to you, didn't I?" Felix shifted his gaze back to the window and said in a cold voice, "Since you're still confused, I'll explain it to you again. I saved you because I want to use you against Andrew." 


"Okay." Alina smiled, concealing her dejection perfectly. 


Right from the beginning, Felix had already told her that he saved her because he wanted to use her. However, she refused to believe it and even foolishly hoped that he would change his mind eventually, but it turned out that it was all false hope. 


However, she had no regrets being his tool to get what he wanted!





 


CHAPTER 1278 



“A formidable figure in Madison City!" 


"Pay attention to the people around you!" 


"They might be wolves in sheep's clothing!" 


After reading the message from Alina, those words were deeply embedded in Silvia's mind. 


As for the most formidable figure in Madison City, the legendary "Mr. Carter" was the first person in Silvia's mind. Moreover, Andrew was his son, and Andrew was someone who was by Silvia's side... Alina seemed to imply that Andrew was Felix's killer. 


Andrew had never had anything to do with Alina, so why would she want to do that? Silvia could not figure it out. Did Alina put in so much effort just to sow discord between her and Andrew? 


Alina was an extremely jealous person. In the past, she would always find fault with Silvia just because Silvia was the campus belle. So, Silvia could not rule out the possibility that Alina was only trying to cast a bone between her and Andrew. 


After realizing all these possible reasons, Silvia chuckled and said, "Alina, it seems that you are really good at playing tricks, but I, Silvia Turner, am not someone who you can easily fool." 


When Felix went missing, none of them had ever met nor had anything to do with Andrew, so Andrew absolutely did not have any motive to do that. Hence, Silvia was certain that the clues that she had gathered as of now were all fake. Someone was trying to lead her into the wrong direction, and it was possible that the culprit was hiding somewhere close to them, waiting for them to fall into his trap. 


Silvia scrolled through her phone and deleted Alina’s message without any hesitation. Then, she blocked Alina's contact. She did not want to hear Alina's voice nor receive any more messages from her. Silvia would not give anyone a chance to damage her relationship with Andrew! 


After deleting the messages, Silvia felt at a loss. She had hit a dead end. Where should she start looking then? 


Ring... 


Silvia was startled by the sudden sound. When she saw that it was Andrew calling her on the phone, she gradually calmed down. 


She answered the call, "Hello?" 


Andrew said in an unfriendly tone, "Silvia Turner, do you know what time it is now?" 


Silvia looked at the time shown on the phone screen and answered. "It's 9 o'clock." 


Andrew said, "It's already nine, so why aren't you home yet?" 


"I'm not going home tonight," Silvia immediately hung up the phone. 


Why must he sound like he was lecturing a child? She was an adult! She had her own life and thoughts. So what if she was a little late home? 


After packing up, Silvia put on her backpack and went downstairs. Just as she arrived on the ground floor, she bumped into someone. Silvia looked up and saw Andrew's somber face. 


She glanced at him and tried to break away from him. However, as soon as she took a step, Andrew had already pulled her back into his arms. He said in a deep voice, "Did I allow you to leave?" 


"Do I need to get your permission to go wherever I want?" Silvia was already feeling very depressed, but this man was yelling at her. Because of this, she could no longer hold her anger in. 


Just as Silvia was about to lose her temper, Andrew lowered his voice and said in a gentle voice, "Do you know  how worried I was when I saw that you weren't home at this hour?" 


No matter how angry she was, all her anger dissipated when she heard what Andrew had said. Silvia rubbed her face against his chest and said, "Can't you just tell me that you're worried about me? Why do you have to be so fierce with me?" 


"It's because you don't take things seriously unless I speak this way!" That was what Andrew said, but he knew that no matter how fierce he was to her, Silvia still wouldn't take things seriously. She would just do whatever she liked. 


"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Thinking of her deceased father and Felix who had died miserably, the fear of losing Andrew overwhelmed Silvia. She anxiously reached out her hands and wrapped her arms tightly around Andrew's waist. "Andrew, hold me tighter." 


Andrew hugged her tightly and asked, "What's the matter?" 


Silvia felt much more at ease as she leaned against Andrew's chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. She could even joke around with him. "Does a wife need a reason to hug her husband?" 


"Did you do something wrong again?" Silvia had never acted coquettishly with him. Andrew thought that she must have done something wrong that she was behaving this way. 


"Andrew, what kind of a person do you think I am?" She was just scared. She was afraid that she would lose Andrew like how she had lost her father and Felix. She wanted him to hug her, so that she could feel that he was really by her side. However, this man actually thought that she had caused trouble again. 


Andrew smiled and said, "You're someone who would cause trouble for me every now and then." 


"I will not do that again, Andrew." From now on, she would try her best to be a good wife. She would not let him worry about her anymore and she would no longer do things that would upset him. 


"Silvia, you can just do whatever you want. You don't have to restrain yourself. No matter how huge the trouble is, your husband will have the ability to clean up the mess for you." Andrew said confidently. 


Silvia asked, "If I actually make a hole in the sky, can you help me fix it?" 


Andrew replied, "If you can make a hole in the sky, then I will have the ability to fIx it." 


Although Silvia could never make a hole in the sky, Andrew's words warmed her heart. It seemed that as long as he was by her side, she would be able to forget all her fears. 


“Andrew, could you please promise me one thing?" 


"Sure." 


"Aren't you going to ask me what it is?" 


"I'll agree to whatever you want me to do." 


"Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not leave this world before me. You promised me that you will take care of me for the rest of my life, I hope that you will keep your word." In fact, Silvia did not actually mean that she wanted Andrew to take care of her for the rest of her life. She was just afraid that he would suddenly disappear as her father and Felix did. 


"I promise you." Then, Andrew lowered his head and kissed Silvia's lips. After tasting her lips, he gently released her. 


"As long as you want me to, I will surely take care of you for the rest of your life." If he could, he really wanted to take care of her for the subsequent lives. 


"Andrew, will you lie to me?" "


"I…" Andrew did not know which incident was she referring to, so he paused. 


"Andrew, you promised me to take care of me for the rest of my life, so you mustn't break your promise! Otherwise, I'll never forgive you." Andrew's hesitation frightened Silvia, so she hurriedly gave him a few punches on the chest. 


"I'm not lying. I will take care of you for the rest of your life." Andrew covertly breathed a sigh of relief the moment he heard that this was what she was referring to. 


Andrew did not know what Silvia was afraid of deep down in her heart, nor did Silvia know what Andrew was worried about. At this moment, they only knew that neither of them wanted to lose each other. 







CHAPTER 1279 



Silvia had never mentioned anything about Felix's death to Andrew. 


The reason was simple. Andrew had nothing to do with Felix. He had no obligation to look for the murderer for her. Moreover, Silvia did not want to keep relying on Andrew for her personal affairs. 


All these years, there would be someone who would take care of her and protect her. She had always taken them for granted and she would rely on them so much that she had become so helpless when she finally lost them. 


A few months ago, she could only sit and watch as Norman and his cronies snatched Wateria Corporation away from her. Now that she had found out Felix was murdered, she could not even find any clues! 


She told herself that she could not rely on Andrew anymore. She had to do it herself... 


As she was deep in her thoughts, Andrew grabbed her cold hand within his warm palms. In his deep and powerful voice, he asked, "What's wrong?" 


"No, nothing.“ Silvia shook her head and said, "Andrew, could you please concentrate on your driving? No matter when or where, you must prioritize our safety, okay?" 


“Okay, I know what I'm doing." Something must be bothering this young lady but she was not willing to tell him. Andrew did not want her to worry, so he withdrew his hand and focused on his driving. 


It was already 10:30 pm. when they got home. However, the lights in the house were still on. Levi and Julien would even run to the door from time to time to see if Andrew had managed to bring their sister-in-law home. 


After waiting for quite some time, they finally saw the two coming home. Levi trotted towards them and hugged one of Silvia's arms. "Sister Silvia, did Andrew bully you behind our backs?" 


Silvia smiled and stroked his head. "No, he didn't." 


Levi did not believe her. "But you don't look so well..." 


"Really?" Silvia touched her face. She had experienced so much for the past few months, but she still could not hide her emotions. She would always show it on her face, and even a child could notice it. "It must be the weather. It's really cold outside." 


Levi tiptoed and whispered in her ear, "Sister Silvia, I've already called for some backups. You don't have to be afraid of Andrew anymore. Just tell me if he bullies you, okay?.“ 


Silvia said, "Backups? What backups?" 


"It's a secret for now. I'll tell you in a couple of days." That afternoon, Angela had called Levi on the phone to ask about the situation here, and Levi had accidentally revealed that Andrew had locked Silvia up in a dark room as a punishment. When Angela heard that, she was so furious that she instantly said she was going to go over to Madison City to help Silvia out. 


Angela was a go-getter. No one would be able to stop her when she had decided on something, so Levi was guessing that Angela was probably on the plane to Madison City at this very moment. 


"Do you have to keep me guessing like this, Levi?" Silvia knew that Levi was a cheeky little boy, so she did not take his words seriously. She thought that Levi probably was just trying to scare Andrew. 


"Andrew, Sister Silvia is a lady. You should always treat ladies well, and not bully them." 


Levi gave Andrew a discontented look, and then pulled Silvia up. "Sister Silvia, you must be hungry, right? Auntie Cherry has prepared a lot of good food for you. Make sure you have more of it later, okay?" 


Andrew kept quiet. He was quite happy that the boys could get along so well with Silvia. 


"Okay, I will." However, after sitting at the dining table and looking at her favorite dishes, Silvia still did not have an appetite. She did not feel like eating anything at all. 


Levi, who did not notice it, was still eagerly filling up her dinner plate. Silvia did not want to disappoint him, so she ate some of it. 


"It‘s okay if you don't feel like eating." Andrew grabbed Silvia's hand and said to the boys, "Levi, Julien, I'll take care of her. You two can go back to your room first." 


"Andrew, don't think that we don't know what's going on. You're probably going to bully Sister Silvia again once we leave. This won't do. We'll definitely not leave her alone this time." Levi thought that Silvia was not looking well because of Andrew. Therefore, he wanted to stay back and protect Silvia. 


Andrew felt a little helpless as he said, "I'm not going to bully her." 


It really warmed the cockles of Silvia's heart to see that Levi was being so protective of herself. "Levi, Julien, we've already made up. He's not going to bully me anymore. Go, you guys should go to bed already." 


"But... okay, we’ll go back to our room first. If there is anything, make sure you come to us, okay?" Levi still could not feel at ease, but looking at the gentle smile on Silvia's face, he chose to believe her. He chose to believe that Andrew was still someone who would cherish her and treat her well. 


After sending the boys to their room, Silvia could no longer force a smile on her face. She said feebly, "I'm feeling a little tired. I want to go back to my room first." 


"I'll come with you." Andrew stood up and carried her into his arms. Silvia was so startled by his actions that she immediately stretched out her arms and wrapped them tightly around his neck. “Andrew, I'm really tired tonight. Don't mess around, okay?" 


"What do you think I was going to do?" Andrew wanted to carry her back to the room because he noticed that she was looking very tired. 


However, this woman obviously saw him as an animal and even thought that he was going to do something to her. 


"I know I could always feel at ease whenever you're here by my side." Silvia leaned against his chest. His warm embrace had given her a strong sense of security, which she was very much lacking at this moment. 


"What a silly woman!" Andrew was satisfied with this answer so he could not help but to carry her tighter in his arms. 


After returning to her room, Silvia immediately went to the bathroom and took a bath. When she came out, her forehead was covered with sweat and she was even swaying as she walked. It looked as if she was going to fall on to the ground at any time. Luckily, Andrew noticed it in time and caught her from hitting the floor. 


"Silvia, are you not feeling well?" Andrew's heart wrenched as he looked at Silvia, who was covered in cold sweat. "I'll send you to the hospital right away." 


Silvia shook her head. "No, I'm fine..." 


Andrew couldn't help but pick Silvia up and strode out of the room. "You're sweating so much because of the pain. How could you say you're fine?" 


"It's... it's because of my period." Silvia was embarrassed to say it out loud. However, if she didn't say it, Andrew would definitely bring her to the hospital again. 


The previous time, when she thought that she was pregnant, Andrew immediately brought her to the hospital. If she were to go to the hospital just because of her period this time, she really did not know how she would face the doctors and nurses at the hospital. 


So, she must not let him leave the room! 


Andrew was slightly stunned. He asked, "Really? That's what happens when you're on your period?" 


"I never had cramps before this, but my cycle was messed up so that's why I'm getting the cramps this time." To stop Andrew from taking her to the hospital, Silvia had no choice but to patiently explain it to him while enduring the pain.





 


CHAPTER 1280 



"As long as I am here, I'll make sure that you'll never have to experience the pain again." Andrew carried Silvia back to the room and gently put her on the bed. "Lie down and don't move. I'll try to think of something to deal with your cramps." 


"I'll probably be fine after some rest. You don't have to be too anxious about it." Silvia had never experienced such a situation, nor would she pay attention to such things before this. So, when she got the cramps, she was at a loss. Fortunately, Andrew was by her side. She had his chiselled chest to lean on. With him by her side, she was starting to feel a little better. 


"Lie down and don't move." Andrew pulled the quilt and covered it over her body. After that, he turned around. When he was about to leave, Silvia quickly reached out her hand and grabbed him. "Umm..." 


Silvia's face was already flushed and she still could not speak her mind. However, Andrew was being very patient with her. "What's the matter, just tell me about it." 


"Well... I ran out of pads at home and it's not quite convenient for me to go out and get them now. Could you please go get some for me?" After hesitating for a while, Silvia finally said it in embarrassment. 


After all, a man, especially a young master like Andrew, would probably feel ashamed to do that, so he might actually refuse her. However, he was the only person Silvia could ask help from at this moment. After saying her request out loud, she anxiously waited for Andrew's reply. 


"You‘re unwell! So why are you bothering about makeup pads? Auntie Cherry will get some for you next time. By the way, let me ask Auntie Cherry to prepare some hot soup for you. It will warm your stomach and you'd feel better after that." Hearing his answer, Silvia suddenly felt all the energy in her body drained away... 


She was telling him that she needed sanitary pads, but he completely misunderstood her and thought she wanted makeup cotton pads! Silvia was flabbergasted. 


Did she have to explain it that literally to him so he would understand? 


"Don't glare at me like this, be good," Andrew stuffed her hand under the quilt and ignored the exasperated look on her face. "Wait here, I'll ask Auntie Cherry to get it ready now." 


Silvia was totally speechless. How could this man be so slow witted? 


After stepping out of the room, Andrew did not look for Auntie Cherry first. Instead, he dialed Dr. Thames' phone number. "Menstrual cramps. How should I deal with it?" 


Dr. Thames, who was on the other end of the call, did not expect Andrew would ask her this question. She was stunned for quite some time before she had finally come back to her senses. "Master Andrew, is Miss Turner not feeling well?" 


"Yes." Andrew nodded. 


"It's quite a common symptom among women. You can make her some ginger tea for her..." Speaking of this, Dr. Thames suddenly paused. "Master Andrew, why don't I go over and have a look at Miss Turner? It's usually not a big deal to have cramps, but it's also something that we shouldn't overlook. Miss Turner is still young, we should treat it now, or else it might become a bigger problem in the future." 


There were two reasons why Dr. Thames had offered a medical visit. One of the reasons was she did not want to miss any chance to meet Andrew, while the other was that she must show concern for her employer's wife. Otherwise, how could she be considered as a qualified private doctor? 


"Be here in ten minutes." After saying that, Andrew hung up the phone. In front of Dr. Thames, he would always be a man who was as cold as ice. He would even omit all the extra formalities whenever he spoke to her. 


The moment Dr. Thames realized that Andrew had hung up on her, she was so furious that she immediately threw her phone away. "Damn it. Silvia, you little bitch, just wait and see. I will definitely get rid of you soon." 


After venting her anger, Dr. Thames calmed down. She picked up the mobile phone that she had thrown away and said to herself, "Little bitch, just f*cking wait and see what I'll do to you." 


It wouldn't be long until she could finally get rid of the thorn in her side and get the man she had always wanted. Andrew was hers, and he could only belong to her. No one else could touch him. 


Auntie Cherry, who was preparing to return to her room, saw that Andrew was coming down the stairs. She quickly turned around and asked politely, "Master Andrew, is there anything else I can do for you?" 


"I don't know why Silvia would ask me to go get her makeup pads or something in the middle of the night." Andrew told Auntie Cherry. "By the way Auntie Cherry, she's having cramps. Do you know what she should eat during her period?" 


Auntie Cherry was a woman, and some things, only a woman could understand. Why would Silvia be in the mood to think about makeup pads when she was having menstrual cramps? 


Thus, Auntie Cherry was absolutely certain that the 'pad' Silvia was referring to must be sanitary pads. It just so happened that Andrew was ignorant about it and actually thought that Silvia wanted him to go get some 'pad' at this hour. 


It was really funny to even think about it, but Auntie Cherry did not dare to laugh. She could only hold it in and said, "Master Andrew, I think Miss Turner does not need that... But something else instead...“ 


"What does she need?" Andrew raised his eyebrows in confusion. 


"Master Andrew, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Turner needed some sanitary products." 


Oh no, Auntie Cherry could not hold her laughter any longer. She had to find a way to get out of that place, or else she might get punished if she were to let out a laugh. "Master Andrew, I'll go out and buy some for her now." 


Now that she had already explained it to this extent, there might actually be something wrong with Andrew's head if he still could not get what she meant. 


He spoke nonchalantly, "Auntie Cherry, could you please go keep an eye on her for me? I'll go get it myself." Andrew thought that if it was something that Silvia needed, it would be better for him to get it himself. 


After watching Andrew leave the house, Auntie Cherry immediately went to the kitchen to make a cup of ginger tea for Silvia. Just as she was stepping out of the kitchen, she bumped into Dr. Thames, who was rushing over. "Dr. Thames, why are you here at this hour?" 


"Master Andrew called me and asked me to have a look at Miss Turner." In Dr. Thames' opinion, there was no need for her to explain to a servant like Auntie Cherry. However, as long as she had not gotten her hands on Andrew, any inappropriate action would make these people a stumbling stone to her road to success. Hence, she would not offend Auntie Cherry and she would still answer politely. 


"I see." In front of Auntie Cherry, Dr. Thames had always played the role of a professional and intelligent doctor, so Auntie Cherry had always had a good impression of her. "I've prepared some ginger tea for Miss Turner. Let's go see her together." 


"Is this for Miss Turner?" A ferocious look flashed in Dr. Thames's eyes as she looked at the cup of tea in Auntie Cherry's hand. "Auntie Cherry, where is Master Andrew? Is he not home?" 


"Master Andrew went out to get some supplies for Miss Turner." When it came to this matter, Auntie Cherry's face was full of smiles. "Master Andrew really dotes on Miss Turner. He even went to buy sanitary products for her." 


"Yeah, he really doted on Miss Turner..." When Dr. Thames heard these words, she really wished that Silvia would die at that instant. However, she still had to put on a friendly smile. "Auntie Cherry, I'm going up to see Miss Turner now. I'll take this tea to her then."

CHAPTERS 1271 - 1275







CHAPTER 1271 



Although Silvia had been with Andrew for quite some time now, she had never seen Andrew being so angry. When she heard Andrew's growl and saw his solemn expression, she nearly ran away in fright. 


However, when she thought of the boys who were still waiting for her updates, Silvia suppressed her fear and stammered, "Young... Young Master Carter, did something happen?" 


Silvia clearly knew what happened, but she was still pretending not to know. She spoke hesitantly and did not even dare to look into his eyes, afraid that he would see right through her. 


"Everything's fIne." Seeing that it was Silvia, the look on Andrew's face became much more gentle in an instant. If he were to let her know that the boys had gone missing, she would definitely get more anxious than him. So, he immediately changed the topic. "Auntie Cherry has prepared breakfast for you. Make sure you eat it before going to school." 


"Um..." Silvia was stammering. "Are Julien and Levi up? Why don't I go wake them up for breakfast? Then we can all eat together." 


No, that was not her true intention. However, she felt that it was too stressful for her to be with Andrew by herself and she was panicking. So, she thought that she would go back to the boys and come up with a plan to deal with Andrew. 


"Just let them sleep in. Don't worry about them. I'll ask the driver to send you to school once you‘re done with your breakfast," Andrew said as he walked towards her. Silvia was so terrified that she started retreating. "They are growing boys, so they shouldn't sleep for too long. Moreover, they mustn't skip breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day. I'd better go upstairs and wake them up now!" 


Recalling the ferocious look on Andrew's face when he was on the phone, Silvia was so scared that she could feel her heart trembling. If Andrew were to find out that she had colluded with the boys and fooled him, he would definitely tear her into pieces. 


"Why are you looking so scared?" Seeing that Silvia was backing off from him as if she was avoiding the plague, Andrew's frustration intensified. "Do you think I would gobble you up?" 


"No, you, why would you think so?" To tell the truth, Andrew was very scary. She was genuinely afraid that he would eat her, but she couldn't say it out loud. If she were to infuriate him, she would probably lose her life. 


Andrew strode towards Silvia. Being horrified by his actions, Silvia instantly turned around and ran off. "I'm still in my pajamas. I'm going back to my room to change my clothes first." 


"You, stop right there!" Seeing that Silvia was avoiding him, Andrew frowned. He did not like this feeling of uneasiness at all! 


Silvia had just taken two steps when Andrew's cold voice sounded from behind. Upon hearing his voice, Silvia felt that her legs were as heavy as lead. It was so heavy that she could not even move an inch. 


Did Andrew find out that she was colluding with the boys? 


The fact that Andrew would shout at her so fiercely, Silvia was guessing that he had already found out about it... It's over... She was going to be skinned alive very soon. 


Silvia was thinking if she should just tell Andrew the truth and that she had only known about it a while ago. After all, it was the boys who came up with the idea, it had nothing to do with her at all... No, she must not betray them. The boys trusted her so much, how could she stab them in the back like this? 


When she heard that Andrew was slowly getting closer to her, Silvia was so nervous that she immediately swallowed her saliva. Then, she instinctively raised her hands and confessed, "I'm sorry, Young Master Carter. I know what I did was wrong. Please don't get mad at me?" 


Boohoo... If she had known that this man would be this scary, she wouldn't have promised the boys that she would defend them. 


Now that she had regretted her decision, could she turn back time and act like nothing had happened? 


Andrew walked to her side and placed his hands on her shoulders, making her look into his eyes. "Tell me, what did you do wrong?" 


He was too scary to look at. He was grabbing on to her shoulders so forcefully. She had already admitted her mistake, did he have to be so fierce with her? 


Silvia wanted to refute, but she was not bold enough. So, she began to explain the mistakes that she had made like an obedient child. "I was wrong for helping the boys to lie to you." 


"The boys had pretended to run away from home, and you were part of it...Huh...Silvia Turner, I'm really impressed with that courage you have there. However, have you ever thought of the consequences before doing that?" 


Andrew had never expected that Silvia would have anything to do with the two boys running away from home. After all, they were all under his watch the night before, and Silvia was still sleeping when he woke up this morning. She did not have the time to get involved in the plan. 


Now that she had confessed her mistakes, it was indeed a windfall for him. 


"Andrew, I've already admitted to my mistake, what else do you want?" Wasn't a child who would admit to her mistake a good child? And criminals who turned themselves in would get a reduced sentence? But why had Silvia not received such treatment? 


"Go get the boys. I'll be waiting for you guys in the study." The three of them deserved to be punished. Otherwise, they would definitely cause more trouble in the future. 


In the study room. 


Silvia, Julian, and Levi stood in a row and all three of them were looking down at their shoes. They behaved as obediently and pitifully as they could ever be. 


"Lift your heads up," Andrew said in a deep voice. 


If they thought that he would let them off by not looking at him and acting pitifully, they were absolutely wrong. Andrew would not let them off this time. 


Under the head of the family's order, Silvia and the boys slowly lifted up their heads. However, instead of looking at Andrew, their eyes were glancing around. They did not dare to look into Andrew's eyes. 


"Look at me." Andrew added. 


The trio had no choice but to look at Andrew. When their eyes met Andrew's cold stare, they were so scared that they were starting to breathe more cautiously. 


"God bless us!" 


In the past, they had never realized that the head of this family could be this fearsome. If they had known that, they might not have done what they did. 


In the boys' hearts, Andrew was a warm big brother who would protect them while in Silvia's eyes, he was just an idle beast that only knew how to mess around. In short, no one had ever thought that he had such a cold and ferocious side. 


Andrew's cold gaze swept across the three of them, and as he stared at them, they immediately felt that their scalps had turned numb. He then asked unhurriedly, "Tell me, who was the one who came up with this idea?" 


There was dead silence in the room. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin dropping on the floor. None of them had stepped forward to admit that they were the mastermind. 


Huh, how dare they keep their silence? Perhaps Andrew was not harsh enough. His voice deepened menacingly as he spoke, "I will give you guys one more chance." 


Silvia still refused to say anything. 


Anyway, the mastermind wasn't her. She would never admit to the things that she had never done! Never! She would not admit to it even if she were to get beaten to death! 


Julien was dumbfounded. 


He was never afraid of a worthy opponent, but alas, his teammate was the weak link. 


Levi was completely flabbergasted too. Anyway, he didn’t come up with the idea. No matter what kind of dirty tricks Julien would play, he wouldn't take the blame this time. 







CHAPTER 1272 



"Huh... It seems like no one is going to admit it." Andrew sneered, "Since no one is going to do that, then I'm afraid that I can't be partial to anyone. The three of you will be punished together." 


They had to all be punished because no one was willing to admit it! 


Upon hearing this, Julien immediately glanced at Levi. In turn, Levi turned to look at Silvia, and she could see the glistening tears in Levi's eyes. Immediately, her heart melted. 


Faced with Levi's tears, Silvia had agreed to help the boys to deceive Andrew. Now that she saw the tears in Levi's eyes, she was going to fall for it once again. 


Sure enough, she could never resist a cute and naive child who was acting pitifully in front of her. Even if Levi asked Silvia to die for him, she probably would not hesitate! 


However, the boys trusted her so much, so how could she chicken out at such a critical moment? It was time for her to step forward and let them witness what she was capable of. 


She wanted to let them know that in this family, their sister-in-law did have the power too, and she was absolutely not the party that would only get bullied... However, her behavior betrayed her. Anyone could tell that she was nervous! 


Silvia discreetly took a deep breath as she clenched her fist. Then, she took a step forward and said impassionedly, "Young Master Carter, I am the one who came up with the idea, the boys have nothing to do with it at all. You can just punish me, don't drag the boys into this." 


"You were the one who came up with the idea?" Andrew snorted, "Then why didn't you admit it just now?" 


"It's because I was scared!" Silvia obviously could not reply with such a cowardly answer, could she? With the boys around, she had no choice but to portray herself as a big sister who could protect them. "I was reflecting on my mistake a while ago so I couldn't admit it in time. I admit that it was my fault, you can do whatever you want to me." 


Silvia clearly never wanted to admit it, and yet, she even tried to tell Andrew that she was reflecting on herself. Did she really think that Andrew was a three-year-old who she could fool easily?


"Silvia, you're being too reckless this time. Tell me, how should I punish you?" 


"I was forced to do that," Silvia knew she would still have to receive the punishment regardless of her answers. Hence, she was no longer afraid. He could just do whatever he wanted with her and she would listen to whatever he says. 


Andrew snorted, "Who forced you?" 


Silvia said, “You!" 


"Since when did I force you?" Andrew was surprised. 


Silvia could not answer him. 


Now that Silvia had kept quiet, Andrew shifted his gaze to the boys. "And you two. Do you know how worried I was for your safety? I know that she's not smart to think of such a stupid plan, but how could you guys go along with it?" 


"Andrew Carter, you'd better think twice before you speak in front of them," Silvia warned. 


Damn it, how could he just insult her like this? Couldn't he save her face a little when the boys were around? He was lecturing her like he was teaching some kid a lesson. How was she going to face the boys in the future? How could they still trust her and rely on her? 


Andrew said with a solemn face, "From now on, I want you to go to the little black room on the third floor and stay there for four hours while you think about what you have done. You're not allowed to come out until the time is up."


At that instant, Silvia became so anxious that she started complaining loudly, "Andrew, how could you do that to me?" 


How could there be such a domineering and unreasonable man! What century were they living in now? How could he punish her by sending her into a dark room so that she could reflect on her mistake? Who did he think he was? An emperor‘s son or something? 


Andrew said, "If you dare to utter a word before I've given you the permission to speak, you will be locked up for another hour." 


Silvia said, "I have to go to school. I don‘t have the time to mess around with you here." 


Andrew, "Five hours." 


Silvia: "You..." 


Andrew, "Six hours." 


Silvia finally kept quiet. This tyrant, this inhuman beast, he was just calling her his baby in such a gentle voice the night before, but now, he had turned into a heartless beast that was going to torture her. 


Andrew said, "You don't pay attention in class anyway. It doesn't really make a difference if you actually attend your lectures." 


Silvia could not refute. She had completely lost her face because him. 


After dealing with Silvia, Andrew looked at Julien and Levi and said, "Julien, Levi, do you know what you did wrong?" 


Julien and Levi deftly nodded their heads and said, "Yes Andrew, we know." 


Andrew walked up to them and gently stroked their heads. ”Good. If you know what you did wrong, then make sure you think before you do anything next time, okay? Don't act recklessly like you did this time." 


“We will, " the two boys nodded their heads vigorously, looking adorably obedient. 


Silvia stared at Andrew, who was obviously biased between her and the boys. She said, "Andrew, I admitted to my mistake and I even took the initiative to do so! Why were they forgiven just like that whereas I would have to be locked up?" 


Andrew said, "Because you are the mastermind. The mastermind has to be responsible for their mistakes." 


Silvia retorted, "I'm not..." 


Andrew, "You what?" 


The boys thought that they had disguised themselves perfectly and they would just let Silvia take on the blame this time. However, they did not know that Andrew had already noticed the guilty look in their eyes and the little tricks that they were doing behind his back. 


Andrew did not expose them, because he wanted to see how they could continue with their act. 


Silvia said, "I don't accept it! Please reconsider your punishment." 


Andrew said, "Okay. Face the wall as punishment for 24 hours.And you are not allowed to eat during this time. Only water is allowed." 


Silvia said, "What did I do to deserve this? Isn‘t there any justice?" 


Andrew said, "In this house, I am the justice" 


Silvia said, "No, this is what we call domestic violence.You're abusing women and we can always call the cops on you." 


Andrew handed the phone to Silvia and said, "Sure, you can call the cops and see if anyone dares to arrest me." 


Silvia said, "You bastard, you're such a big bully!" 


Andrew said, "So what if I'm bullying you?" 


Silvia said, “You son of a b*tch!" 


The little black room was actually a storage room on the third floor, which was filled with some miscellaneous items. Although they were unused, they were still very valuable things. It was considered clean because of the frequent dusting, but the light in the room was very dim, and hence it was called the Little Black Room. 


"What a heartless bastard!" Silvia found herself a seat. She was so angry that she constantly cursed Andrew. She was his wife, but he was teaching her a lesson like she was a child. Just thinking about it made her furious. 


"Sister Silvia, thank you for helping us take on the blame this time." Levi secretly came into the room with a hot dog in his hand. "Sister Silvia, don't worry, I will secretly bring you some food to eat." 


"You're the best, Levi!" 


Just as Silvia was deeply moved by Levi's warm actions, Andrew's voice suddenly sounded. "Levi, do you want to be locked up with her?" 


Upon hearing his voice, the two of them were terrified. They immediately looked around, trying to look for the source of the voice. However, they could not find him in the room at all. Finally, they noticed that there were surveillance cameras and even sound systems in the room. 


Levi quickly took back the hotdog and patted her on the shoulder. He comforted her, "Sister Silvia, I really sympathize with you but since you've made a mistake, you should be punished. From now on, you should learn from us and be a good girl. Everything will be fine if you don't make Andrew angry." 


Silvia was speechless. She had a feeling that something was not quite right. 







CHAPTER 1273 



"Sister Silvia, I've already said what I should say. It's up to you what you want to do in the future.“ Since there was surveillance here, it wouldn't be good for Levi to stay there for too long. After saying a few more words, Levi then left the room. 


They wanted to let Silvia take on all the blame because they thought that Andrew would not do anything to Silvia. However, everything was beyond their imagination. Andrew had instead given Silvia the heaviest punishment that he could give. 


"Andrew, how can you actually bring yourself to torture your beautiful wife like this? Do you know that by doing so, there's a possibility that you might end up being single for the rest of your life?" Levi despised Andrew inwardly. Andrew was a man after all and he should have compromised a little more when he was dealing with his wife. 


Levi's father, Victor, was an unsophisticated man who was always fierce. Although Victor seemed like he was going to beat Angela up whenever she made him angry, he would never actually do it. 


He really doted on Angela. 


Most of the time, Levi would think that based on how much Victor doted on Angela, it was very possible that he would do just anything for her. If Angela wanted him to get her the stars in the night sky, he might actually do that for her. 


"Levi, aren't you going to accompany me for a little while more?" Silvia looked at Levi pitifully. "I'm here all by myself in this room. I don't have a cell phone nor a computer, and I don't even have a person to talk to. What‘s more, I don't have any food to eat. How am I going to endure all these alone for so many hours?" 


"Sister Silvia..." Alright, since Silvia was being so loyal to them, how could he just ignore her at times like this? If he did not care about her, who would? "Okay, Sister Silvia, I will stay here with you. Here you go, have this hotdog." 


"Levi, you're really my little angel, I love you!" Silvia did not want to care about the rules that Andrew had laid down anymore. Now that the hotdog was right in front of her, she would fill her stomach first. 


If Silvia were to find out that it was the boys who had planned to make her take on the blame from the very beginning, would she still think that Levi was her little angel? 


At the same time, Levi looked towards the surveillance camera and pulled a face at it. "Andrew, I've decided that I will stay with Sister Silvia here and I will receive the same punishment as her." 


Humph, he no longer cared about his bossy and thoughtless brother anymore. Instead, he would stay here with his sister-in-law and he would like to see if Andrew could do anything about it. 


Andrew's voice once again sounded in the room, "Levi, are you not afraid of getting kicked in the ass?" 


Levi answered in a righteous manner, "I would rather accept it than letting Sister Silvia suffer by herself." 


Andrew said, "Sure, you can stay there with her. I will ask Auntie Cherry not to prepare your dinner." 


When Levi realized that he would have to stay hungry, Levi, who had set his heart that he would stay back and suffer with Silvia, suddenly faltered. "Sister Silvia, my stomach is not feeling well. I need to go to the bathroom." 


Silvia said, "Levi, don't tell me that you've changed your mind, did you?" 


"No, Sister Silvia, I will never leave you alone." 


Levi was a little embarrassed that Silvia had read his mind. Soon, he came up with an idea. He leaned into Silvia's ear and whispered, "If I stayed here, both of us will not have anything to eat for the rest of the day. I'm going to sneak out to get you some food." 


When Silvia heard this, she thought what Levi had said made sense. "Okay, go." 


She just hoped that Levi would not lie to her and he would still be her little angel. 


.........


Thump, thump! 


After thinking about it over and over again, Julien went to Andrew's study and knocked on the door. 


“Come in." Andrew replied. 


The moment Julien received Andrew's reply, he pushed the door open and stepped into the study. He walked up to Andrew's desk and stood straight as he said, "Andrew, I'm here to apologize for my mistake." 


"Apologize for your mistake?" Andrew's gaze shifted from the computer monitor and on to Julien's face. With a gentle gaze, he looked at the little boy who had a solemn look and asked, "What did you do, Julien?" 


Julien calmly admitted his mistake, “Andrew, I was the one who came up with the idea to run away from home. This has nothing to do with Sister Silvia at all." 


If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to stay in Madison City, he wouldn't have concocted such a plan that caused Andrew to worry. Then, Andrew wouldn't have locked Silvia up. No matter how it was, Julien was the one at fault and there was no way that he could excuse himself from it. 


For the past years, his mother had always taught him that there was no one who would not make mistakes, and it was not a big deal at all to make mistakes. However, one must learn from their mistakes and not to make the same mistakes ever again. 


"Julien, I'm glad that you came forward to admit your mistakes. By doing this, you're showing me that you're now a man who can be responsible for the things that you've done." Now that Julien had told the truth, Andrew was very pleased. He stroked Julien's head and said, "Then tell me, why did you come up with such a plan?" 


Andrew's words had triggered Julien's emotion. He said sullenly, "It's because I don't want to leave Madison City. I want to stay here with you for a few more days." 


"Silly child, you could just tell me that, why do you have to do such a worrisome thing?" Andrew patted Julien's small but straight build. "As long as you are willing to stay here, you can stay here as long as you want. I will never send you two back home." 


"Really?" Did that mean that he had guessed it wrongly? Andrew had never planned to send him and Levi home the night before. But that shouldn't be the case. Andrew's expression clearly showed that he was plotting to send them off. Julien was sure of it. 


Andrew added, "Of course, but on the condition that you must never do what you have done today ever again. Do you know how worried I will be if I can't find you guys? If anything happens to you and Levi, how am I going to explain it to Mom and Dad?" 


Julien lowered his head in repentance. "Andrew, I know my mistakes now. I won't do it ever again.“ 


Andrew nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, great." 


“Andrew, now that you know Sister Silvia had taken the blame for us, could you please let her out now?" 


"No, she must stay there for 24 hours." 


"But I've already told you the truth. This has nothing to do with her." 


"it has nothing to do with her?" How was this woman not involved? In Andrew's opinion, she was deeply involved in the plan, so he would not let her off that easily. 


"That's right, I was the one who came up with the plan, and she only knew about it this morning." 


"Yes, she's not the mastermind, but she chose to cover up for you two and even tried to take the blame. She knew what she did was wrong, but she still did it anyway. Hence, she needs to be punished." How dare this woman collude with the boys? Andrew believed that she deserved the self-isolation! 


He wanted her to know who was the head of this family. He wanted her to be smart with her decisions so that she would not be on the wrong side and suffer the consequences herself in the future. 


Julien could not refute Andrew's words. 


He had already chosen to come clear in hopes to get Silvia out, but things just did not turn out as he had expected. If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn't have admitted his mistakes at all. 


It seemed that he was still not as smart as Andrew! 







CHAPTER 1274 



There was a high-definition surveillance camera in the room so Andrew could see Silvia's every move and even every subtle change in her expression. 


This woman was really something else. She was already being locked up but she could lie on the table and sleep so soundly. She obviously did not take the punishment seriously. 


Did she really plan to get locked up for 24 hours and not do anything at all to get herself out? 


The isolated Silvia, who was undergoing punishment, looked relatively calm. On the other hand, Andrew, who was the one who executed the punishment, would not sit still at all. He came to the room and woke Silvia up. 


Silvia said in a daze, "What are you doing, Andrew? Leave me alone, don't interrupt my sleep, okay?" 


Andrew's face darkened, "Isn't it better to sleep in your room?" 


“Oh well, that's true." Silvia was still in a daze, so she did not grasp the meaning behind Andrew's words. Just as she got up to return to her room, she asked, "I've got such a nice room, but why am I sleeping here? I really should go back to my room and continue with my sleep then."


"Silvia Turner!" This woman actually dared to go back to her room without his permission. Andrew wanted to strangle her! 


The moment Andrew roared at her, Silvia was scared out of her wits and finally sobered up. Looking at the fierce look on his face, Silvia felt particularly wronged. "Do you have a problem with me reflecting on my mistakes here?" 


"Are you sure that you were reflecting on your mistakes though?" Silvia did not look like she was reflecting on her mistakes at all but she actually had the nerve to say that she was. 


Silvia pursed her lips. "Of course I am. What else could I do here then?" 


Andrew was speechless. 


Silvia added, "I apologized to you and I've even received my punishment. What else do you want me to do?" 


Andrew said, "Alright, since you said that you've realized your mistakes, then tell me, what did you do wrong?" 


That's right, what did she do wrong? Silvia thought about it and realized that she had not done anything wrong. 


If she had to say that she had done something wrong, it would be that she was blind and softhearted. How could she actually believe it when this man told her that he liked her? Humph, he probably meant that he liked to torture her instead. 


Silvia still did not answer. As Andrew had expected, she had not realized her mistake. "Since you haven't realized what your mistake was, then you should stay and continue reflecting on yourself here. You can leave once you‘ve realized what you did wrong.“ 


Silvia asked, "Then why don't you just tell me what my mistakes were?" 


Andrew was speechless. 


Sure enough, it was even more difficult for this woman to realize her mistakes than to reach for the stars. 


"Okay, whatever you want. I'm not afraid of you. It's not like I've never been locked up before." She had been locked up in the villa next to Andrew's house for a week when he first purchased her! Compared to that period of time, 24 hours was nothing to her. 


"Huh, Silvia Turner!" Andrew slammed the door and left the room in anger. 


"Bastard, I didn't even blame you for locking me up in this dark room, but you still have nerves to get mad at me huh? Do you think I am born to be bullied by you?" Silvia had decided that she would not let this go easily. 


If Andrew did not apologize to her, she would never step out of this room, even if it meant that she would starve to death. 


However, not too long after, Silvia walked out of the room and went to the dining room on the first floor. 


Silvia was really not to be blamed for surrendering like this. She had no choice, she was really starving. Once she was hungry, she could really compromise her principles, and she would never care about her image when she ate. 


Levi put all the food he had in front of her and said, "Sister Silvia, you should slow down a little. Auntie Cherry prepared all these for you so you don't have to worry that we will take it away from you." 


"Levi, Julien, thanks for saving me. Auntie Cherry, thanks for preparing all this delicious food for me." Not long after Andrew had left, the two boys ran over and told her that Andrew had left the house so they were there to bust her out of her prison. 


Silvia didn't agree at first, but as soon as she heard that there was delicious food waiting for her downstairs, she immediately left everything behind and went straight to the dining room with the boys. 


"Miss Turner, you really should slow down, don't choke! There are still some left in the kitchen if these are not enough for you." Auntie Cherry did not tell Silvia that it was Andrew who asked her to prepare all these for her. If her master did not ask her to do so, how would she dare to prepare so much food for Silvia who was still undergoing her punishment? 


Silvia said sweetly, "Auntie Cherry, you are really my angel." 


"Sister Silvia, didn‘t you say that I am your angel?" Levi said, while looking a little jealous. 


"All of you are my angels!" Silvia picked up a drumstick and ate happily. 


"What is Andrew to you then?" Levi blinked his eyes and asked. 


"Andrew?" The moment Levi mentioned this conscienceless man, Silvia began to gnaw on the drumstick ruthlessly. "Andrew is a hooligan, a devil, and my kryptonite." 


That man was really a cold-blooded beast. He knew that she could never deal with hunger but he deliberately starved her in a way to punish her. Where was his conscience? 


Levi consoled Silvia, "Sister Silvia, don't be angry at Andrew anymore. We've already thought of a way to get back at him." 


Silvia devoured the entire drumstick and asked, "What do you guys plan to do?" 


Levi added, "The three of us will run away from home together. We're going to use this method to protest against Andrew's tyranny." 


"That's a good idea. But, umm, I think we'd better not do that. He'll be worried he can't find us." It was true that running away from home could scare Andrew and it would also make them feel better, but she really did not want to see Andrew being worried because of them. 


Listening to Silvia's words, Levi understood everything in an instant. Although Silvia would always say that she hated Andrew, in fact, she still cared about him. It looked like it was time for him to bring the news to his family back home. 


Levi asked, "Sister Silvia, don't you want to protest against Andrew's tyranny?" 


Silvia said, "Yes, I do. But we shouldn't rush into it. Moreover, I have plenty of ways to deal with him. 


"Okay, we'll listen to you." Levi took out his mobile phone with a smile on his face. "Sister Silvia, let's take a selfie together." 


Even though these two boys had plotted against her, Silvia still had not put her guard up against them. When Levi asked her to take a picture together, she immediately cooperated without asking about it. However, little did she know that Levi was going to send the photo to Angela. 


After sending the photo, Levi followed up with a text message. "Mom, this beautiful woman is the person you've asked me to look for. She's Andrew's wife." 


Soon enough, Angela replied with a message, "You little brat, tell me more about what you know. I want every single detail of it." 


Levi replied, "Her name is Silvia Turner. It's such a beautiful name, isn't it? Hehe! Mum, she's really nice to Julien and me. I like her a lot!" 


Angela sent another message, “I want to know how Andrew met her, and if she likes him too. Levi,don't forget what I've asked you to look into, otherwise, I'm no longer your mother!" 


Levi thought indignantly, "How dare Mom think of me as incapable? If anything, I should be complaining about her!" 


However, Levi knew that if Angela were to hear this, she would definitely come all the way to Madison City to beat him up. Therefore, he replied in an obedient tone, "Mum, please give me two more days. I will find out all the details that you want to know." 


Angela replied, "Okay, my good son!" 


Levi thought to himself, "Humph! You'll only call me your good son when you need my help. But when I'm not of any use to you, you will call me a brat!. I really don't want a mother like this!"





 


CHAPTER 1275 



Ding... 


Silvia's cell phone which was placed on the table suddenly rang. 


She had a chicken drumstick in her hand and could not answer the call. Levi, who was very sensible, answered the call and turned on the loudspeaker. As soon as the call was connected, Silvia could hear Prince screaming on the phone. "Boss, are you coming to the campus today?" 


"What's the matter?" It was already one o'clock in the afternoon and it would take her more than an hour to get to school, so there was no point for her to go anymore. Moreover, she did not intend to go to school that day anyway. 


"Just come. I'll tell you about it when we meet up." 


"What is it that you can't even tell me through the phone?" 


"I'll tell me when you're here." Prince hung up the phone after that. 


"Prince, I see that you're getting bold nowadays huh? You actually dared to hang up on me." Although Silvia was extremely dissatisfied with Prince, she still rushed to the university as fast as she could. 


When Silvia arrived at the lecture hall, the students who were gathered in a group dispersed in an instant. When they returned to their seats, all of them were looking at Silvia with a sympathetic and complicated look in their eyes. 


Silvia's scalp turned numb from all the staring. She quickly sat next to Prince and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why are they staring at me like that? Do I look prettier today?" 


"Boss, Lemur and I really wanted to hide it from you at first, but it looks like that's impossible." Prince, who had always been boastful, would rarely look so serious. 


Looking at his expression, Silvia became even more curious. She knocked Prince on the forehead and said, "Don't leave me hanging like this, will you? What's there that you can't tell me about?" 


Prince took a glance at Lemur. After a deep breath, Lemur said unhurriedly, "Boss, there's been a rumor about Felix going around the campus recently." 


"What about him? Tell me everything that you 


know." Silvia knew that there were rumors about Felix going around the campus, but she did not know much about it because no one had talked about it in front of her. Reagan and Lemur also did their best to keep it as a secret from her, so she really didn‘t know much about it. 


“Felix, he..." Lemur's words were already on the tip of his tongue, but he hesitated. He said, "Boss, promise us that you'll keep calm no matter what, okay?" 


"I can't keep calm anymore when I hear you talking like this." Silvia was an impatient person. Regan and Lemur's hesitation was really driving her crazy. 


Since Silvia was going to find out about it anyway, Lemur decided to go all out."Boss, judging from the news and evidence that we have gathered recently, we are guessing that Felix was murdered a few months ago." 


Although Felix had vanished for more than half a year now and Silvia had not heard of any news regarding him since then, Silvia still wanted to believe that he was still alive. 


At this moment, when she was completely unprepared, she had received the news that Felix was murdered.Silvia felt as if a sharp knife had pierced into her heart, and it was so 


painful that she could barely breathe. 


In a split second, she had completely lost her strength. She had become so weak that it was difficult for her to sit steadily, and her whole body began to slide towards the ground. Fortunately, Reagan and Lemur were quick enough to hold her up. 


Reagan said anxiously, "Boss, you have to stay strong. If Felix was really killed, we have to find the murderer and avenge him, so you must stay strong." 


Silvia understood what Reagan was trying to tell her, but she really did not want to admit that Felix was already dead. She hoped that Felix was still alive and that Felix could find his own happiness. 


For the past months, she had been praying for him. She prayed that Felix would still be alive somewhere in this world. She hoped that he was living a better |ife than her. However, the harsh reality of life had come for her. 


Silvia tried her best to control her emotions, and it was until a long time had passed that she could calm herself down a little. She asked, "Where did you guys get this news? Is it reliable?" 


"We won't tell you about it if it isn't reliabie." 


Reagan flipped open a book and took out a photo. He handed it to Silvia and said, "Someone mailed this photo to you, so we've collected it for you." 


Silvia took over the photo with trembling hands. As soon as she picked it up and had a look at it, she could feel as if someone had taken a knife and stabbed it right through her chest. 


There was a man lying in this photo, with his beige-coloured tee-shirt covered in blood. And Silvia's eyes turned bloodshot too... 


The man in the photo was in a bad condition. He was badly wounded except for his face. His face was particularly clear, and with one glance, Silvia could immediately recognize the man in the photo. 


It was Felix! Her Felix! It was her Felix that she had been missing day and night! 


"Felix... No, it can't be him, it mustn't be him." Silvia was hoping that she had seen it wrongly and that all of this was just in her imagination. She was so scared that she threw away the picture and hoped that all of this had never happened. 


However, she knew better than anyone that this could not be fake. if it had not happened, Felix, 


who had always been by her side protecting and doting on her since she was a child, would not have disappeared from her life without a trace. 


Silvia should have known that Felix must have encountered something awful like her father, that he had disappeared without leaving a word. However, she had chosen to deceive herself. She would rather believe that he had abandoned her than believing that he was dead. 


"Boss, there were some rumors spreading around recently saying that Felix was being forced to leave Madison City because he had offended some big shot..." 


Speaking of which, Prince was starting to speak in a strangled voice. "I didn't expect that, that person would be so vicious. Not only did he drive Felix out of Madison City, he even killed him. Felix is such a good guy, but the person who killed him was so cruel..." 


"Who on earth was it?" After a long pause, Silvia clenched her fists and squeezed out such a sentence through her lips. 


"All the sources we've gathered were all talking about the big shot but no one knew who it was. But there were quite a few big shots in Madison City, so we've made a list out of it. We planned to go through the list with you." At such a crucial moment, Prince and Lemur were relatively calm. 


Lemur continued, "Since you have been by Felix's side for so many years, we figured that you would know who Felix has interacted with and the people that he might have disputes with, in recent years." 


"Someone I know?“ The Turner family and the Xavier family both had their own companies and each of them had hundreds of employees. They had always lived a comfortable life and were highly respected in Madison City too. However, their families were still far from being considered as the upper class, so they had almost never come in contact with the rich and nobles. How could Felix have offended them? 


However, even if Silvia didn't know who the big shot might possibly be, she wouldn't give up on it. Since Felix was gone, she would definitely find out who was the one who killed him and she would avenge him. "Prince, Lemur, I want you guys to start sorting out the names now and hand me the name list before the class ends?

LM 

CHAPTERS 1266 - 1270







CHAPTER 1266 



Julien was not daunted by any of the questions that Professor Bell had put forward. Towards the end, Professor Bell had even forgotten about the lecture and even started analyzing the topic with Julien. 


Listening to the exciting conversation, anyone who did not know what was happening would think that Professor Bell was having an academic exchange with a well known professor. 


Even Professor Bell himself had already forgotten that the person who he was debating with was just a child whom he had detested a while ago. 


Silvia was utterly speechless. 


She did not even understand what was being taught in class, but not only did Julien understand everything, but he could even explain it so clearly. Silvia did not know whether she should feel ashamed for herself or happy for Julien. 


Levi had already gotten used to all these, so he patted Silvia's shoulder and comforted her. “Sister Silvia, you should never compare your intelligence with someone who is smarter than you. 


No matter how Silvia interpreted Levi's words, she still felt that he was criticizing her, so she said, "Levi, are you sure you are comforting me?" 


"Sister Silvia, I'm just telling you that it's fine to admit that you‘re not smart. It's not something to be embarrassed about and no one will laugh at you,“ Levi said with a smile. 


"Who said that I'm not smart? I'm usually very smart, but maybe just not as smart as you guys." In fact, Silvia really thought that she was not as smart as the boys. Before this, she had always thought that she was smart until she met the Carters. 


Andrew, Julien and Levi were all very brilliant. After spending quite some time with them, Silvia even doubted if she could still live like a normal person. 


"Sister Silvia, Julien is a child genius and a fast learner too. I'm sure that there aren't many in this world who would have a higher IQ than him, so let's just not compare ourselves to him." At one glance, the very sensible Levi saw right through Silvia and then thoughtfully comforted her. 


“Okay..." Silvia smiled and stroked Levi‘s head. "Thank you, Levi! You really are my little angel!" 


Levi said sweetly, "Sister Silvia, in my heart, you are beautiful, generous, gentle and kind. You are an angel, not me." 


"Really?" Levi's words were so sweet that it was difficult not to be fond of him. 


"Of course." Compared to his mother, Angela Carter, who would bully him all the time,Silvia was really an angel. 


Professor Bell was famous for his strict teaching and his high requirements for his students. However, he was full of praise for Julien. Therefore, within such a short period of time, Julien had already become a legendary figure in University A. 


No matter where Silvia and the boys went, there would be people staring at them. The staring was even more intense than those that happened before the lecture. 


Not only were those students curious about the boys, even Prince and Lemur were too. What was even more outrageous was that both Prince and Lemur were already enslaved to the boys not long after they had met. As for how they had managed to tame Prince and Lemur, Silvia did not see it nor did she know how they had done it. 


The only thing Silvia knew was that Prince and Lemur were following the two boys around like they were their bosses. 


"Levi, your brother is so awesome, but why is he so quiet?" Julien was aloof and he had not spoken to anyone. Since Prince and Lemur could not talk to him directly, they could only talk to his spokesperson, Levi. 


"Generally speaking, people who have a high IQ would behave a little strangely and they are just beyond the understanding of ordinary people like us. If you want to know anything about him, you can just ask me. I'm his spokesperson." Levi patted his chest and said confidently, "But I won't answer the questions for free. For each question that I've answered, both of you will have to follow us around for one more day in return." 


"Sure, that‘s not a problem at all!" Prince and Lemur replied simultaneously. 


Silvia, who was standing aside, could not stand it anymore. "Prince, Lemur, can you guys stop behaving like a loser?" 


Prince and Lemur ignored Silvia. At that moment, they were only interested in the boys. 


Prince asked, "Levi, is your brother that smart since he was born?“ 


"Yes, I guess he inherited it. His father has a high IQ. I think not only did he inherit his father's IQ, he also inherited his father's personality. He could never get along with anyone." If it was not because he was forced to, Levi would never want to hang out with Julien. 


Lemur continued to ask, "Levi, where did you come from? What are you doing here in Madison City?" 


"Prince, Lemur, are you guys done with your questions? Let me tell you, you two better behave yourselves." Prince and Lemur were like interrogators. Silvia was worried that they would play tricks on the boys, so she was trying to protect them. 


Prince pulled Silvia away and asked, "Boss, boss, where did you find these cuties?" 


To prevent Prince from having any nasty thoughts, Silvia decided to use her trump card. "These cuties are from the Carter family." 


Upon hearing this answer, Prince and Lemur's eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss, Young Master Carter didn‘t look that old to have two sons already!" 


If they were really Andrew's children, that would mean that Andrew would have knocked a girl up at around fifteen years old! Wasn't that a little too young?! 


"What are you talking about?" Silvia patted Prince's head. "They are Andrew's brothers." 


Prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, that's better. I thought you were going to be a stepmother right after getting married. To be honest, you only look a few years older than them. It's really not that appropriate for you to be their stepmother." 


Silvia gave Prince and Lemur a ferocious glare and emphasized, "I am their sister-in-law." 


"Sister Silvia, you shouldn't say that you're our sister-inlaw when you're outside. You're still young and I'm sure that you could still meet many more men in the future. You really shouldn't commit yourself to Andrew so soon." 


Levi was starting to cause trouble again. Perhaps, he thought that Angela Carter could not do anything to him now, so he was trying to get on Andrew's nerves. 


"Okay, you're so thoughtful, Levi. Then from now on, as long as Andrew is not around, you can just call me Silvia." To be honest, Silvia didn't prefer the boys to address her as Sister Silvia when they were outside too. 


"Levi, are you trying to get kicked in the ass again?" Julien suddenly said in a cold voice. 


"Julien, what else do you know other than squealing on me?" Most of the time, Levi would not be afraid to go up against Julien, unless Julien were to threaten him with that incident. 


"Levi, Julien, are you guys up to a trip to try out some of the delicacies in Madison City?" In order to stop the boys from quarreling, Silvia tried to change the topic. At this point in time, she had completely forgotten about the date that she will be having with Andrew later that night. 







CHAPTER 1267 



Levi, who was bright, understood Silvia's intention very clearly, so he played along and said cheerfully, "Sure, Sister Silvia! One of my favorite things to do is to try out all the delicacies from different places." 


Silvia rubbed Levi's head and looked at Julien who rarely spoke. She asked in a gentle voice, "Julien, do you want to come with us?" 


Julien was like his father. He would rarely talk to strangers. Since he had just known Silvia,she was still considered a stranger to him. Despite that, he was quite fond of this beautiful sister-in-law so he nodded forcefully. 


After Julien had accepted her offer, Silvia was so happy that she held both Julien and Levi's hand on each side and said, "Alright, let's go!" 


Prince and Lemur walked up to Silvia's side and said, "Boss, we want to join too." 


Silvia looked at them and thought for a while. "Sure, it's good to have you guys too, you guys can help me take care of the boys." 


Prince and Lemur did not know what to say. It seemed like their place in their boss’ heart was no longer as before. If it went on like this, their boss might not even remember who they were in the future. 


But what could they do about it? It was not only their boss who could not resist the charming boys, even Prince and Lemur themselves adored them. 


Then, when the group was about to leave the campus, Andrew, who Silvia had completely forgotten about, called her on the phone. "Silvia, I'm waiting for you here at the campus entrance. Where are you guys going?" 


"You're at the entrance?" Silvia looked around and saw Andrew's flashy car. She thought that she might be blind not to notice it in the first place. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to pick me up? I didn't even know that you were coming over. You would have missed us if you came a little later." 


"I didn't tell you in advance?" That very afternoon, both of them had already agreed that they would go on a date like how a normal couple would. However, judging from what this silly woman had said, she had obviously forgotten about it. Andrew raised his eyebrows discontentedly. It seemed that he was being too lenient to her nowadays that she even dared to forget about their date. 


"Did you? Why can't I remember it at all?" Silvia muttered to herself and hung up the phone. She looked back at Prince and Lemur and said, "Prince, Lemur, I'm sorry! Young Master Carter is here to pick us up. We can't go with you guys anymore." 


Prince said, "Boss, just remember that this isn't the first time you've stood both of us up. Make sure you make it up to us in the future.“ 


"Okay, okay. I'll treat you two to a nice meal some other day, okay?" Silvia said as she walked away with the two boys. Prince and Lemur ran after them. "Levi, remember to come visit us often, okay?" 


Levi said sweetly, "Sure, Prince, Lemur. Goodbye!" 


Prince and Lemur were overjoyed. "Goodbye!" 


Prince and Lemur followed the trio and sent them to Andrew's car. If it weren't for the fact that Young Master Carter had no intention of inviting them to get in the car, Prince and Lemur would have already forced themselves.


Usually, Andrew would be the one driving the car, and Silvia would sit in the front passenger seat. However, with Julien and Levi around, Silvia gave up the front passenger seat and squeezed into the back seat with the boys. 


"Julien, Levi, let me put on the seat belt for you two." After getting in the car, Silvia was so busy fastening the seat belts for the boys that she had no time to take a look at Andrew who was sitting in the driver's seat. 


After helping the two boys to fasten their seat belts, Silvia looked at Andrew. "Young Master Carter, we are ready. You can start driving now.“ 


Humph... 


Not only did she ignore him, she even treated him like he was their chauffeur. So, Andrew made sure that he remembers how Silvia had treated him this time. After all, he had all the time to settle the score with her later that night. 


Before Andrew started the car engine, he looked back at the boys who were sitting in the back seats and said, "Julien, Levi, tell me, what do you guys want for dinner?" 


In front of Andrew, Julien was like a fanboy. He was not as cold as he used to be in front of the others and he would answer all the questions that Andrew had asked him. "I‘ll eat whatever you want to eat. I‘m not picky." 


“Yes, we'll eat whatever you want to eat." Levi echoed while nodding his head. Andrew would never let them have shabby meals anyway, so they would just eat whatever Andrew had decided on. 


"Boys, does it mean that if I'm not eating, you boys are not going to eat too?" 


"That's right." 


Andrew said helplessly, "Just tell me what you boys want for dinner. I'll ask Auntie Cherry to prepare them for you two." 


Julien responded immediately, "Brother, why are you asking Auntie Cherry to cook for us? Does it mean that you won't be eating at home with us?" 


"I'm going on a date with Silvia tonight." It was the first time for Andrew and Silvia to go on a date together, so he had decided to send the boys home first. They couldn't be letting these boys to third wheel them, right? 


"Oh..." Julien lowered his head. He was obviously displeased, but in order not to make things difficult for Andrew, he chose not to complain about it. 


"Andrew, now that you have Sister Silvia, you don't want us anymore, right?" Levi looked at Andrew and then looked back at Silvia who was sitting beside him. He pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "Sister Silvia, are you going to abandon us too because you have Andrew now?" 


Silvia looked at Levi and patted his tiny face. "Of course not, Levi. Why would I ever want to do that? I'll never abandon you two, Levi. If you're staying at home, I will stay at home with you two." 


Levi threw himself into Silvia's arms. "You‘re the best, Sister Silvia." 


Andrew was dissatisfied. "Silvia, did you ask for my opinion before agreeing to his request?" 


Silvia asked, "Is your opinion important though?" 


Andrew said, "We‘ve already made plans this afternoon but now you've decided not to go on with it. Tell me, are my opinions not important at all?" 


Silvia, "Did I say that I'm not going? I'm saying that if I'm going, I'll bring both of them along with us. Or else, I'll just stay at home and keep them company." 


Andrew was speechless. 


Silvia said, "You have two options now, choose one." 


Andrew answered, "Silvia, you'd better not push my buttons!" 


"Andrew, how can you be so fierce to Sister Silvia?" Levi told Andrew off. "if Dad were to yell at Mom, she would definitely make him kneel down and admit his mistakes." 


Although the latter part of the sentence was a little exaggerated, Levi was just trying to help Silvia out. 


"You little brat, won't you feel guilty saying that? Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you up?" Andrew had decided inwardly that he would get someone to send the boys back to Jiangbei the next morning. He did not want anyone to interrupt his date with Silvia. 


"If I'm going to get beaten up because I was telling the truth, then there‘s nothing I can do about it." Levi dared to talk bad about his father because he knew that his mother Angela would protect him! Victor would never dare to do anything to Levi! 







CHAPTER 1268 



Silvia insisted on bringing the boys along with her to their date, so it ended up being a group date. 


Levi obviously was not aware that he was third wheeling them when he said, "Andrew, why do you look so upset when you're on a date with Sister Silvia?" 


"On a date with Silvia?" Andrew looked at Levi. This little guy just had to rub it in, huh? Did Levi really think that this could be considered as a date when he and Julien were there third wheeling them? It obviously felt more like a family outing. 


Seeing that Andrew was unhappy, Julien said sullenly, "Andrew, are we disturbing your date with Sister Silvia?" 


Andrew really wanted to throw Levi out of the window when he heard Levi speaking with that tone. On the other hand, Julien's aggrieved tone made Andrew feel sorry for him. He rubbed Julien‘s head and said, "I can go on a date with Silvia anytime we want. You two don't visit us often, so of course, we'd keep you two company first." 


Andrew's words were nice, but Julien knew that he was just comforting them. If he did not guess it wrongly, Andrew must have been secretly planning on sending them back to Jiangbei. 


Julien took a glance at Levi and gave him a warning look. He was trying to tell Levi not to be too complacent and he should not behave thoughtlessly just because he had Silvia on his side. 


After receiving Julien's warning, Levi pouted his lips. Now that he had Silvia as his backer, he did not believe that Andrew would actually dare to send them back to Jiangbei. 


At the dinner table, the three guys were making up a plan of their own, but Silvia was not aware of it at all. She filled two bowls of soup for the two boys and said, "Julien, Levi, have some warm soup first. The weather is getting cold now, you two should drink soup to warm your stomach before you start eating." 


"Thanks, Sister Silvia!" Levi looked at Silvia and said with a sweet smile, "Sister Silvia, you are so kind to us that we don't feel like going home anymore. We really want to stay here with you." 


"I like both of you a lot too. If your parents are fine with it, you two can definitely stay here for a little longer." Silvia picked up some of the dishes for Levi and Julien. "These dishes are all the specialties of Madison City. You guys should try it. If you guys like it, we can always come here again." 


Silvia, who never knew how to take care of others, was busy taking care of the boys. Andrew, on the other hand, was being left alone aside and neglected. 


It was not only like this during dinner, Silvia had also completely neglected Andrew when they went for the movies. Initially, Andrew had chosen a romantic movie, but since the boys were there with them, Silvia had decided to go for a Hollywood blockbuster instead. 


After the movie had ended, Andrew planned to go home. However, the boys said that they wanted to watch the night view at Madison River, so Silvia had agreed to bring them there. 


What was there to look at on such a cold day? 


However, the two boys were particularly excited. Since Silvia was willing to bring them there, Andrew had no choice but to go along with it. 


When they were on their way home after seeing the night view, the boys had already fallen asleep in the backseat. Silvia took off her coat and covered them with it. Then, she pinched their faces lightly and said in a gentle voice, "You two little cuties, you two have been out for the whole day now and you're finally feeling tired huh?" 


Looking at these innocent faces, Silvia thought how wonderful it would be if their child could inherit Andrew's intelligence or be as smart and good looking as the boys. 


Would that be possible? 


Would she and Andrew's child be like these two smart boys? 


Silvia couldn't stop imagining it and soon enough, she was starting to doze off too. When she finally woke up, she was already in Andrew's arms. 


Andrew was carrying her back to her room. Silvia rubbed her face against his chest like a kitten, and then went back to sleep. 


But just as she had closed her eyes, she suddenly thought of the boys. She immediately lifted her head and asked, "Andrew, where are Julien and Levi?" 


Silvia remembered that before she had fallen asleep, she was still in the car with the boys sitting next to her. 


"Huh...“ Andrew sneered inwardly. Did she know how difficult it was for him to take care of the three of them? 


After arriving home, he had to carry the boys back to their bedroom and then he had to carry this "giant baby". After working his ass off, not only did he not receive any comforting words from Silvia, the first thing that he heard Silvia asking about was the boys again. 


Now that he was being completely ignored and being disregarded like this, Andrew's forbearance turned into anger. He kept his silence and lowered his head to kiss Silvia's lips. 


He wanted to be the only person that she would see, listen to, feel and think about. He wanted to be the only person who she would have in her heart... In this life, she would only belong to him. 


This man was starting to kiss her so aggressively as soon as she woke up. What's wrong with this man? Was he out of his mind? 


He began to gnaw on her the moment he had her in his arms. Did he think he was a dog or did he think that she was a bone that he could nibble on? 


Silvia felt uneasy so she tried to push him away. However, no matter how hard she tried, he was unmovable. 


Silvia did not like being at a disadvantage, so she turned into a little tigress and copied Andrew. She too, held him and bit him. 


After a good fight, Silvia's lips were swollen while there was a bite mark on Andrew's handsome face. 


She scowled at him and Andrew was also glaring at her. Silvia suddenly burst out laughing. Her laughter was getting louder and she could not control it at all. “Young Master Carter, you're such a jealous man. It seems like you shouldn't call me a green-eyed monster anymore! You should call yourself that instead." 


Andrew's face fell. He was a little embarrassed that Silvia had seen right through him. "What nonsense are you talking about?" 


"Are you not being jealous because of the boys?" Silvia shot a playful wink at him. "It's okay to admit that you're jealous though. There's nothing wrong with being jealous to see your wife being good to someone else anyway." 


“Yes, I am being jealous." She was right. She was his wife. He should be jealous, and it was not a shameful thing after all. 


The moment Andrew admitted to it, Silvia felt like her heart had fallen into a jar of honey. She snuggled up to him and poked his chest. "Andrew, the reason why I'm being so good to them and even took good care of them was not only they're adorable, it was because they are your family." 


Julien and Levi were his family. They came all the way to Madison City to see their brother. Therefore, as their sister-in-law, Silvia had the duty to take care of them and make them happy during their time here. 


Andrew had never thought that Silvia would confess her love to him out of a sudden, so he was stunned at that instant. 


Looking at the stupefied look on his face, Silvia tiptoed and kissed the corner of his lips. She said slyly, "I'm going to take a bath now. Would you like to join me?" 


Now that his wife had made such an amorous offer and he was also a passionate young man himself, there was no reason for him to reject her offer. 


He immediately carried Silvia in his arms and strode to the bathroom. 


At that instant, Silvia regretted making such an offer. Did she really regret it? 


She had underestimated Andrew's stamina and also overestimated her own endurance. She swore that she would never make such a stupid mistake ever again.





 


CHAPTER 1269 



In the guest room. 


"Wake up, Levi! Wake up!" As soon as Andrew left the room, Julien got up and rolled over. He reached out his hand and pushed Levi, who was sleeping like a log. 


"Mom, stop touching me. I'm still sleeping!" Levi thought that it was his mother, Angela Carter, who was waking him up so he tried to act coquettishly. 


"Who said that I'm your mother?" Julien frowned. Since he could not wake Levi up, he had to use some other means to get him up. He reached out his hand and nipped Levi's ear, "Levi, wake up or I'll twist your ear off." 


"Mom, don't do that. I'm tired, I wanna sleep..." Levi reached out his tiny hand and tried to brush Julien's hand off his ear. However, not only did Julien not loosen his grip, he twisted Levi's ear even harder. 


"Mom, it's painful!" Levi finally opened his eyes. It was only when he saw that it was Julien in front of him that he had recalled he was still in Andrew's house. His mother was not here at all. 


At that instant, Levi felt a little disappointed. "You're disappointed to see that the person next to you is me and not Aunt Angela, aren't you?" Julien said with certainty. 


Levi kept quiet. The fact that he was calling for Angela in his dreams proved that Levi was missing his mother. Although he would always badmouth her, he still loved her. 


With a calm face, Julien looked at Levi and said, "Levi, since you miss Aunt Angela, i can ask Andrew to get someone to send you back to Jiangbei tomorrow.“ 


"I'm not going back to Jiangbei." Levi immediately shook his head and strongly opposed the idea. 


Although he did miss his parents, what he had done was like a time bomb that could explode at any time. 


No matter how much he missed his mother, he must not go home now if he did not want to be beaten to death. 


Knowing that he did not dare to go home, Julien immediately put on a serious look and said, "If you don't want to go back then get up now." 


Levi was so sleepy that he could even barely open his eyes. He said in a muffled voice, "What for?" 


Julien added, "If I'm not mistaken, Andrew is going to send us home tomorrow. Therefore, we must do something about it before he could actually do that." 


"With Sister Silvia here, Andrew won't dare to send us home," Levi said. 


"Levi, can you just think with your head for once?" Julien looked at Levi with a cold and dissatisfied look, "If Andrew were to tell Sister Silvia that it was our family who asked us to go home, do you think she could refuse it?" 


Levi thought that what Julien said was reasonable. He scratched his head and asked, "What do you plan to do then?" 


Julien's lips twitched as a cunning glint flashed in his eyes. "Of course we have to run away from home!" 


Levi instantly understood what Julien meant. "So you're trying to give Andrew a warning by running away. You want him to know that we will still run away from home if he insists on sending us back to Jiangbei without our permission, right?" 


“It seems like you still have a brain after all." Levi was usually very talkative and he would only use his head to think when he was picking up beautiful girls. Other than that, he would never use his brain and that was why Julien would always complain about him. However, now that he decided to run away from home, he would still bring Levi along with him. That was because he felt that Levi was always reliable during crucial times. 


After a tiring bedtime 'battle', Silvia slept soundly for the rest of the night. This had happened to Silvia several days in a row. 


Sometimes Silvia was glad that she was still young and fit. Otherwise, with Andrew's impressive stamina, she would probably be burnt out after two nights. 


That morning, Silvia was still asleep like how she usually would while Young Master Carter, who slept beside her, had already woken up. 


Having satisfied his desires the night before, Young Master Carter felt refreshed waking up that morning. Looking at Silvia, who was lying beside him, Andrew could not help but lower his head to kiss her on the forehead. "What a silly girl..." 


After kissing Silvia, Andrew felt that he was starting to get a little too excited so he quickly got off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. 


Silvia was especially good at sleeping. Usually, if no one were to take her up, she would definitely sleep in. However, little did Andrew know that Silvia had already woken up too. She was just pretending to be asleep. 


Silvia realized that the first thing Andrew had done right after waking up was giving her a morning kiss and she could even feel his strong desire for her. However, he did not only think about himself... 


In the past, she would always think that he had never cared about her and the reason he wanted to be with her was to satisfy his lustful desires. She thought that there was really nothing else between them apart from being extremely compatible with each other in bed. 


However, she could now start to feel how thoughtful he was to her. Sometimes, she could even notice how gentle he was to her. 


For instance, when they were doing it the night before, she felt a little uncomfortable. As soon as she was moaning in pain, he immediately stopped and patiently waited for her to loosen herself up... 


Thinking of Andrew's gentleness and consideration for her, Silvia, who had always been thick-skinned, blushed. She rolled to the other side of the bed where Andrew had just slept in. 


His scent was still there. His masculine scent was embracing her as if he was holding her in his arms. At that moment, Silvia thought that she could sleep in for a little longer with him "hugging" her like this. 


...... 


"Knock, knock." 


Andrew went to the boys' room and knocked on their door. However, there was no response at all. He knocked again and said, "Julien, Levi, the sun's up. It's time to wake up." 


There was still no reply. Andrew thought the boys had already woken up, so he went downstairs. "Auntie Cherry, is Julien and Levi having their breakfast now?" 


Auntie Cherry shook her head and said, "Master Andrew, Julien and Levi haven't gotten up yet.“ 


"They are still sleeping? They must have been exhausted." Andrew turned around and went upstairs. He stood at the door to the boys' room and said, "Julien, Levi, I'm coming in." 


Andrew did not knock this time. Instead, he pushed the door open and walked into the room. “Julien, Le..." 


Before he could even finish his words, Andrew realized that there was no one in the room. There was only a note that was being left on the nightstand. "Andrew, we know that we have interrupted your date with Sister Silvia and that you were upset about it, so we have decided to leave quietly. We don't want you to be unhappy. Love, Julien and Levi." 


Those two brats! 


That's right, Andrew admitted that he had thought of sending these two brats home when he noticed Silvia‘s attention was all on them. However, it was just a thought at that split second. He did not actually think of sending them back to Jiangbei. 


He had not seen them for so many years, so he really wanted them to stay here for a little longer and hang out with him. With them around, the house did feel livelier. To be exact, it felt more like home. 


In the past, he had never regarded this place as his home. It was just a place for him to take shelter. 


And it was not until Silvia and the two boys were here that it had started to feel like home.





 


CHAPTER 1270 



Andrew immediately took out his mobile phone and called Julien. To his surprise, the boys actually dared to switch off their phones. 


Andrew clenched his fists in exasperation. The boys were really asking for a beating! 


Since Andrew was unable to get hold of them, he immediately called Stanley Pierson on the phone. "You said your men saw the kids, where are they now?" 


Stanley had just woken up when he received Andrew's call. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and responded, "Sir, they left after you went home last night." 


The reason why West Side could attract the upper class was not only for its great living conditions but also for its safety. The security system that was employed at West Side was top notch. 


For the past three years, Stanley's subordinates had never interfered with the security work at West Side. After seeing Andrew and the others off the night before, Stanley then asked his men to withdraw from West Side. 


At this time, he suddenly received a phone call from his boss, asking about the boy's whereabouts. He was the one who asked the men to leave. Thinking about the possible consequences, Stanley was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Sir, did something happen to Master Julien and Master Levi?" 


"Did I ask you to withdraw your men?" Andrew's voice became colder, "I want you to send your men to the airport, the train station, and the passenger terminal to find them right now. I don't care whether they have left the city but I want you to find them. If anything happens to them, you'd better worry for yourself." 


Stanley wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes... I'll send someone out now. I'll definitely find them and hand them over to you unharmed." 


After hanging up the phone, Andrew made another phone call. "Simon, Julien and Levi ran away from home. Send out all your men and don't let them fall into the hands of those who had been targeting them." 


Of course Julien and Levi were very bold kids if they were able to come to Madison City from the Jiangbei. This was not something any other ordinary child could do. However, what Andrew worried the most was not about them getting lost. Instead, he was worried about the enemies that were lurking in the dark and covetously eyeing on them. 


If the boys were taken away by those guys, how was he going to explain it to their family back in Jiangbei? 


Andrew, who had always been calm, had never expected that Julien and Levi would plot against him. When he saw the letter they had left for him, he could not think of any other possibilities and immediately dispatched his men to search for them. 


However, the two boys did not go anywhere else. They were just hiding in Silvia's room. After confirming that Andrew had gone downstairs, the two of them covertly ran to Andrew's room. 


They looked around and saw that their target was still sleeping. 


Julien gave Levi a knowing look, and Levi immediately knew what Julien meant. He crept onto the bed and pulled Silvia's ear. After waking Silvia up, he blinked his eyes and started shedding his crystal-like tears. 


As soon as Silvia opened her eyes, she saw that Levi was sobbing. At that instant, she felt a lump in her throat. "What's wrong, Levi? Why are you crying?" 


Levi was not as chatty as he used to be anymore. He continued to shed tears and refused to utter even a word. 


"Don't cry, Levi. Tell me what happened." Silvia held his tiny face and wiped off his tears. However, the more Silvia wiped it off, the harder he was crying. Looking at him, Silvia was so distressed that she immediately pulled him into her arms. 


Levi continued to cry sorrowfully and it was so heartbreaking that Silvia almost cried too. "Please don't cry, Levi. If you continue crying, I think I'm going to cry very soon." 


“He doesn't want to go back to Jiangbei." At such a crucial moment, Julien, who was calm, made such a statement. 


This was their plan. They wanted to make Silvia feel distressed by having Levi cry in front of her and Julien would then tell Silvia why Levi was behaving that way. 


"If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Andrew and I can afford to take care of you two." Silvia stroked Levi‘s head and continued, "Don't cry anymore, okay? You can stay in Madison City for as long as you like." 


Levi continued crying while Julien explained, "But Andrew wants to send us back home." 


"Why would he want to do that?" Silvia was a little surprised. After that, she explained, “You have no idea how happy Andrew was that the two of you could come over to see him. Why would he want to send you two home?" 


Julien pursed his lips and said dejectedly, "Andrew likes you and he wants to spend time with you alone. He was upset about us because we were third-wheeling you two and that was why he wanted to send us home." 


Julien was usually very quiet so this was the very first time Silvia heard him speak so much! He even sounded a little aggrieved, which almost broke Silvia's heart! She said, "No Julien, Andrew will never want to drive you two away." 


Julien kept quiet. 


There was no need for him to say anything else. At this point in time, all they had to do was to continue to put on a sullen and aggrieved look on their little faces. 


"I've already made it clear to him but why is he still being like this?" Silvia believed their words, so she immediately got out of the bed and said, "You don't have to worry, I'll talk to Andrew about it." 


Julien stopped her. "No, Sister Silvia! You mustn't tell Andrew about it." 


"But how can I let him do you wrong like this? You boys are his brothers, how could he not feel sorry for you two at all?" Silvia had really gotten mad. She was angry and distressed at the same time. 


How on earth could there be a man this petty? She had already explained it clearly to him the night before but he still insisted on sending the boys home. Was he happy to see them being sad? 


"Sister Silvia..." Levi wiped off his tears and said in an aggrieved voice, "We left a note for Andrew and pretended like we had run away from home, so Andrew has already ordered his men to look for us." 


"You..." Silvia was really speechless. She did not know if she should be angry at them for lying to Andrew or she should compliment them for being smart to think of such a trick. However, it was fortunate that the boys did not actually run away from home but instead, they came to her. 


Based on the trust they had in her, Silvia had made up her mind that she would protect them no matter what. She would never let Andrew bully them. 


Silvia said again, "How about this. You two can go to my room and wait there. I'll go downstairs and check out the current situation. After that, we can come up with a plan together. I promise you two that I'll never let anyone do you wrong." 


This was exactly what the boys wanted. 


The reason they had put in so much effort to put on such a show was to ensure that Silvia would take the bait. Now that the fish had taken the bait, Julien and Levi began to exchange glances. 


Was it a little mean to lie to their silly sister-in-law? 


However, in order to remain in Madison City, they could only do this. Therefore, both of them had decided that they would treat her well after this matter was settled. 


Silvia went out of the room. After confirming that there was no one outside, she asked the boys to go over her room. Then she said, "Stay here and don't come out, okay?" 


"Okay." In fact, the boys knew much better than her when it comes to what they should do. Silvia went downstairs and saw that Andrew was on the phone in the living room. "I'll give you another half an hour. If you can't find them in half an hour, you guys can just go to hell."
