After he sent her the message, Neil sensed that something was off, and he quickly sent her another one.
[I’ll pick you up.]
A few minutes later, Silvia finally replied.
[Okay.]
Even though it was just one word, it made Neil’s heart race. He felt more excited than when he closed his first business deal.
Soon, it was time to clock out. Neil took the keys from the driver and drove to MY Corporation.
He waited there for over half an hour before he received a message from Silvia.
[When will you get here?]
Neil quickly gave her a call. “Silvia, I’m downstairs.”
She frowned and packed her things before she headed outside. “When did you get here? Why didn’t you tell me you’ve arrived?”
“About half an hour ago. I thought you might be busy, so I planned to wait for you downstairs.”
“Alright. I’m taking the elevator. See you in a bit.”
Five minutes later, Silvia opened the car door and got in.
“Let’s go.”
Neil quietly drove his car into traffic and focused on the road.
The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward since they had not seen or contacted each other for a week.
“You…”
“Today…”
She looked at him. “I know that you continue to get in touch with Ada because she saved your grandmother and mother. But I can’t accept how much she keeps showing up in our lives.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t come here to hear your apologies. I’ve been thinking a lot these past few days, and I’m sure that I still love you. However, if you continue to keep in touch with her, I don’t know how long my love for you will last. The day it runs out, I won’t turn back.”
Neil’s expression changed. “I won’t let that day come!”
Silvia looked at him with a serious expression. “You told me before that you would cut ties with her. I hope you’ll keep your word.”
Neil held her hand. “I promise I’ll find another way to repay her.”
After they patched things up, Silvia moved back to the mansion.
However, Neil still felt a bit uneasy. They were only dating at the moment, and Silvia could break up with him at any time.
Besides, he had not told her that they were not divorced. If she found out, she might actually leave him in anger.
