CHAPTER 1351
Silvia left.
At Andrew's home, nothing truly belonged to her there, so when she left, she did not bring anything with her.
"Miss Turner..." Auntie Cherry was sad to see Silvia leave. She did not know if she would ever come back, so she chased after her. "Miss Turner, the weather is still had and the snow on the road has not been cleared. Why don't you stay for another two days before you go?"
Silvia stopped and turned to Auntie Cherry with a smile. "Auntie Cherry, you don't have to persuade me. I know what I am doing. It's so cold out here. Go back inside before you catch a cold."
"Miss Turner..." She couldn't keep Silvia. Auntie Cherry was so sad that she was tearing. "Please come back whenever you feel like it. The door here will always be open to you."
"Always open to you..."
These words should not have come from Auntie Cherry's mouth. but from Andrew instead. However, he was nowhere to be found.
Silvia smiled. "Auntie Cherry, thank you for taking care of me for the past few months. I will miss you."
"Miss Turner, it seems to be snowing again. Why don't you leave after dinner?" Auntie Cherry was reluctant to part with Silvia.
Silvia turned back and looked at the place where she had lived for several months, and then she quickly withdrew her gaze.
She was the one who wanted to leave. Now that she was really leaving, she actually felt sad for some reason.
Sometimes life was really ironic!
"Mrs. Turner! Miss Turner! This car will escort you home. Please take care," Stanley arranged for a car to take Silvia and her mother home.
"Thank you." Silvia thanked him politely.
Looking at Silvia and Mrs. Turner getting in the car, and watching them leave, Stanley turned back and saw Auntie Cherry hiding in the corner wiping her tears. He snorted with disdain and said, "Auntie Cherry, they are gone. What's the use of crying here?"
Auntie Cherry was devastated. Hearing Stanley's words, she lost her temper and said, "I‘m the one crying. What does that have to do with you?"
Stanley did not expect that Auntie Cherry, who had always been docile and polite would yell at him. He could not help but take another look at her. When he saw that Auntie Cherry's eyes were red and swollen, he became even more frustrated. "You women! Are your tears for free? How could you cry so much so easily?"
"Mr. Pierson, women's tears don't cost anything. Do men's tears cost anything?" Auntie Cherry looked at Stanley discontentedly and added, "When you meet the woman you like one day, you will find out whether a woman's tears are worth anything."
"A woman I like? Hmm... Women are troublesome creatures. I have no plans of courting any of them.“ Stanley felt a headache just talking about women.
He had already made up his mind that he would not be involved with women for the rest of his life, even if it meant that he would not have any offspring.
Andrew was a good example. Before Silvia appeared, Andrew had been busy with his work every day. He was never worried about love affairs. After Silvia, he had been deeply troubled by love affairs every day.
However, now that Silvia had left, Stanley hoped that Andrew could forget about Silvia and return to being how he was, the Andrew who only buried himself in work.
Andrew stood by the window and watched as the car left the villa. He could not bear to look away even after the car was out of his sight. Even if he was not willing to admit it, Andrew knew very well that Silvia was gone for good.
Also, she left so deliberately, as if she had never appeared in his life. It was as if she was just a fraction of his imagination.
No, she was real. She existed. There was still a hint of her scent in the room.
"Silvia...’'
He called her name, but he would no longer hear her playful response again.
"Andrew, I warn you, if you dare to cheat on me, I will definitely make you suffer."
"Andrew, to tell you the truth, this is just how I am. I would rather betray others than to be betrayed. If anyone dares to betray me, I will make sure his entire family suffers."
"Andrew, you better remember to not betray me. You have to be good to me for the rest of your life."
"Andrew, I am younger than your little sister. Don't you think I am too young for you? You must remember to treat me better!"
"Andrew, you must get better as soon as possible. I don't want to be a widow!"
Those oppressive and arrogant words that she said in the past... rang in his ear. He wanted to tell her that as long as she was willing to stay with him, he would treat her well for the rest of his life. As long as she was willing to stay by his side, he was willing to do anything.
He hoped that this time was like how it was the previous times. Silvia would get angry at him, took it out on him, warned him not to think about other women, and let her be the only woman in his life.
However... she didn't. She took extreme measures to escape from him. He could no longer hear her overbearing warnings to him and see her smile anymore.
"Silvia, oh Silvia!"
Only she knew that she was the only one for him.
"Master Andrew, I have arranged for someone to send Miss Turner and her mother home." Stanley came to the room as fast as he could to report to Andrew. It did not occur to him that he was bothering Andrew.
Andrew's thoughts were interrupted. He turned around and gazed at Stanley coldly.
Stanley's scalp tingled under his gaze. "Sir, if there's nothing else, I‘ll leave first."
Just when Stanley wanted to leave, he heard Andrew say, "Send more people to protect them. Don't let anyone hurt them."
Stanley nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Andrew, everything has been arranged. No one will hurt them. I have also ordered the men to stay low and not be discovered."
Andrew asked again, "Have you found the two people who killed Dr. Thames?"
Stanley was infuriated by the topic and said, "We ran into a dead-end at the airport. So far, we haven't found any other useful clues, so we still can't find out who those two people are."
"Continue to investigate!" Andrew increased his voice slightly, and his body lost balance. He immediately grabbed the chair next to him to stabilize his body.
"Master Andrew!“ Stanley rushed to help Andrew, but was stopped by Andrew with a wave of his hand.
Stanley said worriedly, "Sir, please take a rest first. I'll ask Carson to check on you."
Andrew did not like his subordinates to meddle in his personal matters. He could not help but frown. "Don't you understand what I'm saying?" It was not that Stanley did not understand, but that he was worried. He was worried for Andrew's health. No matter how afraid Stanley was, he did not turn around and run away.
CHAPTER 1352
"Ding, ding, ding. "
Suddenly, Andrew's phone rang. He looked over and saw a phone number that he could not be more familiar with.
He collected his composure and answered the phone. "Mom, it's me."
From the other end of the line came a gentle and warm voice, "Andrew, your father and l have come to Madison City to travel. If you have time, we'll go over to visit you. If you're busy, we will carry on with our existing plans."
Jane did not know if Andrew would welcome them, so she told him that she was here to visit Madison City. She even tried to make it sound like she was very busy. If Andrew did not want to see them, he would not feel guilty after rejecting them.
To not make Andrew feel uncomfortable, Jane tried to come up with the best plans. Now, she could only quietly wait for Andrew's answer.
"Mom, you, you and Dad came to Madison City?" Andrew was a little surprised to hear that they were in Madison City. He never thought that his parents would choose to come to Madison City in such heavy snow.
Andrew knew that his mother was especially afraid of the cold. During winter, his father would accompany her to stay in warm Jiangbei and not go anywhere else. At that moment, it was the coldest season in Madison City. Why would Edwin bring Jane to Madison City?
Was it because Jane was worried about Andrew?
Thinking that his parents came for him, his cold heart warmed up, "Mom, where are you now? I will come to pick you up."
Jane said, "We've already arrived at the hotel. We are staying at Snowria Hotel. It's said to be the best place to enjoy the snow scenery in Madison City. Even with the money, it's hard to get a room. Your father even used some connections in order to book a room here!"
"Mom, how can I let you two stay in a hotel in Madison City? Wait for me, I'll come over and pick you up right away." Andrew wanted to change his clothes. However, he noticed Stanley was still standing there, perplexed, when he was walking towards his closet. He then gave Stanley a cold glare.
Stanley had been serving Andrew for several years, but he had never seen Andrew be in contact with his family. He had always thought that Andrew was alone, so he was naturally surprised to hear the conversation and forgot to leave.
Now, being glared at by Andrew again, Stanley forgot that he was looking for Dr. York a moment ago. He swiftly escaped the room.
Jane hesitated for a while and said, "Andrew, okay, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, Mom. Please wait for a while. I will come over right away." Hanging up the call with his mother, Andrew cleaned up and made himself look more energetic.
Before leaving, he instructed Auntie Cherry, "Get someone to clean up the house and the largest guest room. Replace all supplies with new ones. Open the windows to ventilate the room."
His father, Edwin, was a very picky man. This was the first time that his parents came to Andrew's place. Andrew must make sure that they would be as comfortable as it was in their home back in Jiangbei.
The snow had not melted yet, causing the cars on the road to go slower than usual. Andrew took one hour to arrive when it would have taken him half an hour to reach under normal circumstances.
After arriving at Snowria Hotel, he was about to call his mother, only to find that she was talking to a stranger at the hotel lobby.
Since Jane was busy, Andrew stood at a distance and waited for her. Jane noticed him after a while and smiled at him, indicating to him to wait for her for a few minutes.
A while later, Jane finished her conversation, walked up to Andrew, and called, "Andrew!"
It had been a few months since he last saw her. Andrew felt that his mother was getting younger. An ordinary olive-colored coat could look so fashionable on her. "Mom..."
"Andrew, I miss you very much!" Jane gave Andrew a hug.
“Mom, I missed you too." Andrew looked around, but did not see Edwin. "Mom, where is dad?"
Jane sighed. "He promised to travel with me, but as soon as he arrived, he did not even go out with me and went straight to work. We don't have to wait. I have already told him to call me when he's done with his work.”
She was seemingly so worried about Andrew that she insisted on coming to Madison City at once. Edwin was worried about her traveling alone, but he was busy, so he took his work subordinates and came to Madison City together.
Hearing that Andrew was going to pick Jane up, Edwin and his team went to work.
Jane added, "Andrew, it's almost dinner time. Why don't I treat you to dinner before we go home?“
Andrew said, "Mom, I've already arranged for someone to prepare you and Dad's favorite dinner at home. Let's eat at home."
"So, does it mean I can go to your place to have a look?" Jane was worried that Andrew would not let him go to his house.
Andrew, "You're my mother. Of course you can come to my house."
Jane said happily, "Your father did not like the idea of me coming to Madison City as he was worried that I would be intruding on your life. I wanted to come to see my son and my daughter-in-law."
Andrew said, "I think Dad is just worried about you travelling alone."
She said, "After Levi and Julien came back to Jiangbei, they kept telling me how great their sister-in-law was. I was wondering what she looks like and if she likes our family. I was contemplating whether I should send her a gift, but I couldn't think of anything. So, I thought of coming to Madison City to see her. I will know what she likes after meeting her."
Silvia had left. She would not be here to meet his mother. Andrew bitterly said, "Mom... you don't need to prepare anything."
"Andrew, what's wrong? Is it inconvenient for us to visit her?" Jane did not want to make life hard for Andrew. “If she doesn't want to see me, it's okay. I can wait until she is willing to see us. Anyway, I don't want to cause any trouble between you two."
"Mom, it's not like that. She wants to see you. She said that she wanted to go back to Jiangbei during the holidays." In Andrew's heart, Silvia was a kind and simple child. "In fact, she is very easy to get along with. As long as you match her temper, she is very kind to you. Unfortunately, she brought her mother on a trip to Europe just this morning."
"I see. What a coincidence." Jane was slightly disappointed that she wouldn't get to meet with Silvia after traveling all the way from Jiangbei. “Andrew, if she's willing, bring her home during the holidays. Everyone in our family will like her."
Andrew saw the disappointment in his mother's eyes, but there was nothing he could do. ”Mom, let's go home first. I will tell you about her later."
CHAPTER 1353
The living conditions of Silvia's house were incomparable to that of West Side. In this snowy weather, the scenery at West Side was exquisite, while at her house, the only thing that could be seen were the imprints on the snow formed by the car tyres.
"Mrs. Turner, Miss Turner, we are arriving soon. It's drizzling now. Should I drop you off at the community entrance or the underground parking lot?" The driver that Stanley arranged was quite polite to Mrs. Turner and Silvia.
"Please stop in front of the supermarket outside the community. We'll get off there." After getting out of the car, Mrs. Turner politely thanked the driver and waited for the car to drive off before making a move.
"Silvia, why don't you accompany me to buy some food from the supermarket? I'll cook you something delicious later." Silvia remained gloomily silent and Mrs. Turner did not ask anything because she understood her. However, she had to find something to distract Silvia.
"Okay." Silvia really wanted to be more enthusiastic and not let her mother be worried about her. However, because Silvia had not eaten for three days, she was weak and listless.
"It's been a while since you ate my homemade steamed seabass, right? Why don't I cook it tonight? What do you think?" Mrs. Turner knew that seabass was good for healing wounds and was most suitable for Silvia to eat at the moment.
"Sure. I will like whatever you cook." Mrs. Turner's steamed bass was not only delicious, but the fish was so tender that it would melt in the mouth. Silvia was already hungry thinking about it.
"Let's go to the supermarket to buy the fish first." Mrs. Turner led Silvia into the supermarket. When Mrs. Turner was choosing the fish, Silvia saw some shrimps in the water tank next to her. She thought of the delicious shrimp and said to Mrs. Turner, "Mom, let's buy some shrimps."
"Silvia, you can't eat shrimp now. I will cook that for you when your wound is healed." Given Silvia's wound, no matter how much Silvia wanted to have shrimp, and Mrs. Turner wanted to cook them, they could not have shrimp for their meal.
"Oh... okay then." Silvia hugged her mother's arm and rubbed her head against her mother's arm. "Mom, I'm really happy to have you by my side."
"I'm happy to have you by my side." Suddenly, the thought of Silvia hurting herself flashed across Mrs. Turner‘s mind. She teared up as she said, "Silvia, don't do anything to scare me again in the future."
"Morn, you and Dad gave me my life. I've always taken my life very seriously. This world is so beautiful and I'm not willing to die yet." Silvia did not plan on really hurting herself, so the wound on her wrist was not deep. If she really wanted to die, she would have made sure to bleed out before Andrew could come.
"Silvia, don't lie to me." Silvia was Mrs. Turner's only family left in the world. She was the only person Mrs. Turner could rely on. Mrs. Turner could not even imagine what would happen if Silvia was gone.
"Mom, I'm really fine. Don't worry about me. Look, I'm in better shape now." Silvia had always said that she would take good care of her mother. However, in the end, not only did she not do so, but she made her mother worry! She was being really unfilial.
"Well, as long as you have thought it through." Mrs. Turner smiled. "You haven't eaten well in a while. You must be very hungry. Let's go home quickly."
“Mom, don't just think about me. Let's pick something that you like to eat."
"Alright."
Mrs. Turner agreed, but in the end, all she bought was Silvia's favorite food.
After returning home, Mrs. Turner told her, "Silvia, go lie down for a while."
"Mom, I'm not tired, I don't want to lie down." Silvia had been lying down for three days and her whole body was weak. If she continued to lie down, she would become useless! Hence, she did not want to lie down anymore.
Mrs. Turner said again, "Then sit there and watch TV for a while. I will cook."
Mrs. Turner went into the kitchen while Silvia sat in the living room and watched TV.
The news was on, reporting that the number of tourists in Madison City doubled after the heavy snowfall and gave the city's economy a boost.
This was no new news for the past few years. Silvia was bored so she changed the channel. Now, a television series was on.
The scene was showing the male lead meeting with the female lead after a long time. The female lead was in tears as she asked the man, "Where's that mole? Where is it? I clearly remember that you have a mole here."
The series was well written and the cast was great. This was already Silvia's third time watching it, but she was still deeply engrossed with the show.
The male lead was seriously injured. After ten years, he came back but he was completely unrecognizable. The female lead could not recognize him at all.
Andrew also had injuries. Now that the weather was unpredictable, would he suffer from a relapse? If he had a high fever again, who was going to take care of him? Would Carson have to sit by his side and take care of him?
Thinking of this, Silvia became restless. Why did she think of Andrew again?
She thought that if she left that place and not see him or hear him anymore, she would not think about him again. But right now, all she could think of was him. Why?
For him, she was just a cheap substitute. Why should she worry about him?
Stop thinking about him! Stop thinking about him! Silvia kept telling herself this, but she could not get Andrew out of her mind.
"Silvia, why are you crying? Are you not feeling well?" Mrs. Turner prepared fruits for Silvia to fill her stomach. When she came out, she saw Silvia crying.
She was crying? Did she cry? Why did she not know it?
Silvia immediately grabbed some tissues to wipe away her tears and forced a smile. "Mom, I'm fine. I was watching TV.“
"Silvia..." Mrs. Turner picked up the remote control and switched to another channel. Then she looked at Silvia with worry. "It's a weekend, right? Why don't you invite Prince, Lemur, and Audrey here for dinner?"
Silvia said, "Mom, I cried because of the television series. Why don't I accompany you to cook?"
"Your wrist is injured. You should rest." Mrs. Turner gave her the fruits. "Eat some fruits. I’ll continue to cook."
"Okay." Silvia nodded and watched her mother walk into the kitchen.
Looking at her mother's thin frame, she could not help but to feel a gush of emotions. As Silvia recalled, her mother was a person who paid special attention to her image. Even if she went downstairs to buy a pack of salt, she would still dress up beautifully.
But earlier, when her mother went to West Side to pick her up, she was just wearing plain clothes under her jacket. Her hair was simply tied up... Mrs. Turner had never left the house like that before.
From her mother's outfit, Silvia could guess that she must have been so worried that she did not care how she looked.
"Mom, don't worry! I will never let you worry about anything again."
CHAPTER 1354
At the West Side Estate.
By the time Andrew arrived home with his mother, Jane, it was already dark.
“Mom, it is cold and humid in Madison City. The weather is not as great as it is in Jiangbei. When you go out, remember to wear more clothes and put on your gloves." Andrew was worried that Jane would catch a cold on her first time to Madison City. If so, his father would definitely feel distressed.
"Andrew, I am not a child. Don't worry." Seeing her grown up son nagging her as if she were a child, Jane felt a sense of sweetness in her heart.
"Mom..." Andrew never intended to treat his mother like a child. He just wanted to take good care of her!
"I know you care about me. I am not blaming you." Jane smiled gently and said, “I originally wanted to have a good look at where you live. Now that it's dark and raining, it seems like I can't do that today."
Andrew said, "Stay here for a few more days. I'll bring you around."
"Okay. Let's do it tomorrow." Jane wanted to stay for a while more, but she did not have the final say. She still had to follow the big boss, Edwin's schedule!
Edwin was a loving man. However, he was very protective of Jane. He never allowed her to travel a far distance alone. This was one of his only drawbacks.
"Later, I will ask Uncle Hal what time will Dad finish his work, arrange for someone to pick him up." Andrew missed his father too.
Jane said, "Your Dad said that the driver would send him here, so you won't need to make an extra trip. The weather is bad and the roads are slippery. You should stay indoors as much as you can, and take good care of yourself."
"Master Andrew..." Noticed that Andrew was back, Auntie Cherry hurried to greet him. Upon doing so, she saw a woman who was young, beautiful, and noble-looking standing beside Andrew.
Auntie Cherry had been working there for more than three years. Silvia was the first lady brought home by Andrew, and Auntie Cherry thought Silvia would be the only one!
Unexpectedly, Andrew brought back another beautiful lady, just a few hours after Silvia had just left. It seemed that all men were the same, always thinking of other women!
Auntie Cherry's dismal reaction displeased Andrew. "Auntie Cherry, this is my mother."
"Mother? Such a young and beautiful mother?" Auntie Cherry could work by Andrew's side for so many years because she was usually calm and not easily surprised.
Logically speaking, Auntie Cherry had ample experience with big shots and major incidents in her life. She should not be easily surprised. However, when she saw Andrew's mother, Auntie Cherry could not hide the surprise on her face. She kept staring at Jane, quite rudely.
"Auntie Cherry, nice to meet you!" Jane not only did not care about Auntie Cherry‘s lack of manners but smiled gently. "I am indeed Andrew's mother. It's a fact that Andrew is my son.“
"Master Andrew, I, I just feel that your mother is too young and beautiful. I do not mean to offend her." Auntie Cherry mistook Andrew's mother for his new lover because she looked so youthful and pretty. After clearing the misunderstanding, Auntie Cherry was embarrassed. She was worried that her mistake would cost her her job.
Andrew's face darkened, but he did not say anything. He was offended.
Jane spoke up to help her. "Auntie Cherry. Thank you for your compliment!"
"Madam..." Jane's voice was gentle and there was a smile on her face. Auntie Cherry felt less nervous as she looked at her.
Auntie Cherry was a little tongue-tied. Given Jane was Andrew's mother, Auntie Cherry should address her as Madam Carter... But it felt weird as Jane looked so young.
"Auntie Cherry, my name is Jane Ronan. You can just call me by my name." Jane said considerately to resolve the embarrassment for Auntie Cherry.
Jane had been married to Edwin for a long time and became the chief's wife of Shengtian Corporation Inc. Yet, she was still kind and approachable. She was down-to-earth and people naturally want to be close to her.
Auntie Cherry was flattered. "That won't do!"
"But nevertheless, you don't have to call me Madam Carter!" Jane smiled. “I want to sound young!"
"Can I call you Miss Ronan?" Perhaps this was the most appropriate form of address since Jane looked so young. Auntie Cherry thought about it and decided to call her Miss Ronan.
"Well, that's fine!" Jane was very pleased to accept the address. She had been Mrs. Carterfor many years, and it felt refreshing to be referred to as Miss Ronan. However, if Edwin heard it, he would not be happy.
Andrew did not interrupt Jane and Auntie Cherry's conversation until Jane looked at him. He then said, "Auntie Cherry, please prepare dinner."
"Okay." Everyone in the Carter family was not only good-looking but also very approachable. They were also well-mannered! Aunty Cherry was impressed.
Julien and Levi, who came last time, were lovely and sensible. Mia was a little loud and crude, but she did not bully Auntie Cherry at all. Her feisty temperament was rather adorable.
And at present, Andrew's mother was down-to-earth and her words were so pleasant. Auntie Cherry liked her very much.
"Mom, my servants may not abide by the rules at times. Don't mind them." Andrew was displeased with what Auntie Cherry did earlier.
He worked hard away from home for so many years so that his parents could see his capabilities and not worry about him... Who would have thought that the servant at home was so unruly that she ruined his image?
"Andrew, of course, I don't mind. I should thank her for taking care of my son for me these years." Jane did not think that Auntie Cherry offended her. On the contrary, she felt that Auntie Cherry was kind of cute. With such a sweet elderly lady taking care of Andrew, Jane felt relieved.
"Let's go and eat. After dinner, we'll chat." Andrew was indeed like his father at times. Jane shook her head helplessly. Seemingly, Jane's daughter-in-law would have suffered being with Jayden!
…………..
Although it was only the two of them eating, Auntie Cherry still prepared several dishes, two of which were Jane's favorite.
"Andrew, you are so considerate." Her son remembered what she liked to eat. Although it was a small matter, Jane was really delighted!
"Mom, it's fine. As long as you like it," Andrew replied.
"Of course I like it." Jane smiled and looked at Auntie Cherry, who was serving the food. ”Auntie Cherry, what do you think that sweet girl, Silvia, likes to eat?"
"Miss Turner doesn't like to eat vegetables. She likes to eat meat, pork, chicken, beef..." Auntie Cherry suddenly realized that she had said too much. She looked at Andrew, trembling.
It had only been a few hours since Silvia left. Andrew still had not recovered from her departure, so he would probably be unhappy that Auntie Cherry mentioned Silvia at this time.
CHAPTER 1355
Auntie Cherry thought that Andrew would blame her for talking too much. However, Andrew just kept his head down, ate, and gave no response.
Could Master Andrew allowing Auntie Cherry talk about Miss Turner to her heart's content?
At this thought, Auntie Cherry became bolder. She happily told Jane about Silvia's story. "In fact, Miss Turner just likes meat. She's never picky about meat. It‘s very easy to feed her!"
"Auntie Cherry, do you like her very much?“ Jane asked gently. Silvia must be a very lovable girl to be spoken so highly of by a servant.
Auntie Cherry excitedly said, "Miss Turner is not only beautiful, but also nice to people. It's hard to not like her."
"Oh... It seems that everyone is rather fond of Silvia." Although Jane had never met Silvia, she had already heard a lot about her!
The two boys at home, especially Levi, could not stop praising Silvia for how beautiful and kind she was when they returned to Jiangbei. Jane had never heard Levi praise someone so much before!
From everyone's comments, Silvia must be really likable. Jane could not wait to meet Silvia after hearing about all the good things about her.
Auntie Cherry continued, "I really hope that Miss Turner can stay and let me take care of her for a lifetime, but Miss Turner did not want to... Well..."
"Auntie Cherry, since when do you talk so much?" Indeed, Jane wanted to hear about Silvia from Auntie Cherry. Andrew did not stop her from sharing, but Auntie Cherry should have been more tactful. She should have just talked about Silvia’s merits. There was no need for her to talk about Silvia's departure.
"Sir... I've been too talkative... It's my fault... Please don't blame me. I won't talk nonsense anymore." Auntie Cherry quickly shut her mouth and dared not say a word.
"Auntie Cherry, it's okay.“ Jane glanced at Andrew. Her motherly intuition told her that her son was hiding something from her.
Jane guessed that Silvia was not on a vacation with her mother. Silvia most likely quarreled with Andrew instead.
However, before she came to Madison City, Edwin told her that Silvia was taking good care of Andrew. It had only been a few days. What had happened in between?
Besides, what happened between them that drove Silvia away?
Jane had many questions in her mind, but she did not ask in front of Auntie Cherry. After all, she still had to consider Andrew's feelings and image.
At this time, a security guard came in and said, "Master Andrew, this gentleman is looking for you.”
"Dad..." Andrew looked up and saw that it was Edwin. He quickly got up and said, "You should have called earlier so I could meet you at the door.”
"We're family, there's no need for that." Edwin took a few steps towards Jane and sat down beside her. He looked at her with dissatisfaction and said, "Jane, can‘t you see me here?"
Jane took a plate and spoon from Auntie Cherry and served Edwin a bowl of soup. "How can I not see you?"
“Then why are you ignoring me?" Edwin behaved so childishly in front of Jane at times, completely unlike the almighty President of Shengtian Corporation Inc he was.
"Our mighty Mr. Carter, it was completely my fault. I'm sorry. Can we eat now?" Jane shook her head helplessly. Her son and the servants were still around. Couldn't Edwin pay more attention to his own image?
"Let's sit down and eat together." Edwin was finally satisfied as he pulled Jane to sit beside him.
Auntie Cherry was dumbfounded.
When she saw the young, beautiful, gentle, and poised Jane, Auntie Cherry was already in shock. Now, when she saw Edwin, she was so shocked that her eyes were wide open.
She always thought that Andrew was scary. However, Andrew's father was even more terrifying. Not only did he not even look at her, but he was also so cold to his wife and son!
No matter how scary Andrew was, he treated Miss Turner well. He looked at Miss Turner differently than others. However, Andrew's father was so haughty and picky even to his wife. Auntie Cherry felt that the beautiful Miss Ronan was pitiful!
Auntie Cherry felt that she should write a note to remind young and beautiful girls that when choosing a husband, they must not choose a husband only for their looks and wealth.
However, no matter how cold Edwin was, it was a fact that he was good-looking. Once again, it was proven that everyone from the Carter family was blessed with fine appearances!
After dinner, Andrew invited his parents to take a look at their rooms. Edwin did not express any opinion about the room, and Jane kept nodding her head repeatedly.
After looking at the rooms, they went to the living area on the second floor to chat.
The living area was in the middle of the second floor. It had sufficient heating so it was the best place for the family to spend time together during winter.
Andrew asked Auntie Cherry to prepare snacks for his parents. "Mom, these are Madison City's specialty snacks. Try them.“
"Okay, I'll try them." Jane took a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. It was cold and crispy. "Andrew, it's very good.”
“Look at you, you're already a middle-aged lady, yet you're still so gluttonous.“ Edwin took out a piece of tissue and wiped the corners of Jane's mouth. "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your son?"
She smiled and said, "Andrew won't laugh at me."
Looking at his parents' being so loving toward each other, Andrew was so envious!
In this life, his biggest wish was not to make a fortune nor to run a large company, but to have a love like what his parents had!
A loving wife, adorable children, a harmonious family...
Three years ago, after the shooting incident, Andrew escaped from that warm family and came to this cold northern city alone. The weather was cold, but his heart was even icier.
He thought he would never fall in love with another girl in his life. He thought he could never have such an admirable marriage like his parents. He thought of many things until he met Silvia.
It was Silvia who ignited the flame of love in his heart. It was Silvia who taught him how to love again. It was Silvia who made him find meaning to live on...
Just when he thought he had a love like that of his parents, Silvia discovered his hidden secret. She resolutely chose to leave him without allowing him to redeem himself. She just left like that!
"Andrew, Andrew..."
