“No. Grandma will just think that we’re really close.”
Silvia frowned. Before she could say something else, Neil held her hand and walked inside.
The moment they entered the living room, Abalene walked over with a grin.
When she saw them holding hands, her smile grew brighter.
“Silvia, let me see if you’ve lost weight. Have you been pushing yourself too hard lately?”
Silvia shook her head. “Not really.”
Abalene sat her down on the couch and said, “If work gets too tiring, just quit the job. Working is a man’s responsibility. We just need to go shopping.”
When Silvia heard this, she smiled. Abalene had established Remus Corporation with Neil’s grandfather at a young age. She was also a shareholder with decisive rights in the company.
Unexpectedly, she would have such a simple outlook in her old age. She even took the initiative to ask Silvia to stop working and enjoy life at home.
“Madam Remus, I’ll get bored if I just stayed at home.”
When Abalene saw how insistent Silvia was, she just said, “Alright. As long as you like it.”
“Okay.”
Silvia picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip. She realized that it was particularly refreshing and sweet. It was different from any tea she had drunk before. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Madam Remus, what tea is this? It’s tasty!”
Abalene smiled and said, “Liam brought this back from abroad. If you like it, I’ll get the servant to pack some for you.”
Silvia shook her head. “That’s okay. I’ll ask Liam where he bought it.”
“I don’t usually drink tea, anyway. Mrs. Lynch, pack up the tea leaves from Liam so that Silvia can bring them back.”
“Okay.”
“Thank you, Madam Remus. I’ll bring you butter cookies next time!”
“Great. Silvia, you really know what I like!”
Abalene’s loving gaze made Silvia feel a little embarrassed. She was only going to give her some cheap cookies. Meanwhile, the tea was of superior quality, so it had to be expensive.
Neil, who was sitting across from Silvia, said, “I’ll ask him later.”
Silvia nodded. “Okay.”
“Okay!”
Neil left after he sent Silvia back to her mansion.
Once his car disappeared from her sight, she turned around.
She was startled by Isla who was standing right behind her. Isla was staring at her with a mischievous gaze.
“Why did Neil send you home?”
“We went to Madam Remus’s place for dinner earlier.”
Isla’s eyes shone with confusion. She frowned and asked, “You’re divorced, so why are you still following him to his grandmother’s place?”
“He was the one who wanted to tag along. Besides, we agreed not to announce our divorce for now.”
“Why?”
When Silvia saw Isla’s puzzled expression, she slowly said, “Madam Remus isn’t in the best of health. She was hospitalized recently, so we’ll only break the news to her once she gets better.”
