Zayn felt slightly helpless. “I’m really here to see you. Mom and Dad have missed you a lot.”
When he mentioned Theo Xander and Michelle Xavier, Silvia’s eyes became teary.
“How are Mom and Dad… doing?” she asked softly.
The Pond Family had abandoned her in front of an orphanage. But when she was five, Carson Xander was kidnapped. He happened to be the Xander Family’s second son, and she accidentally saved him. After that, the Xander Family adopted her and raised her until she turned 16. When they received news that the Pond Family was searching for their missing daughter, they asked her if she was willing to go back.
If she refused to return to the Pond Family, she would always be a daughter of the Xander Family. If she chose to go back, they would not stand in her way.
Silvia contemplated for a long time before she decided to rejoin the Pond Family. Theo and Michelle treated her well, but they were ultimately not her biological parents.
She wanted to go back and see how her biological parents looked.
Unexpectedly, she encountered a heartless family. She did not receive the love that she longed for. Instead, they schemed against her and could not care less about her.
Zayn glanced at her. “Since you care about them, why haven’t you contacted me over the past few years?”
If they had not heard about Silvia’s experience in the Pond Family, they would not have known that their treasured sister had been bullied in Ryoln City.
They wanted to deal with the Pond Family at first, but since they were Silvia’s family, Theo and Michelle held back. In addition, they sent Zayn to Ryoln City to check on Silvia. If she was not living well, he would have to bring her back to Imperial City immediately.
“When I left, Dad and Mom asked me not to contact them again…” Silvia said guiltily.
Zayn said, “They only said that because they were angry, but you actually believed them. Do you remember how much they pampered you from a young age? They never criticized you. They would’ve forgiven you the moment you said something to make them happy. But you’ve never contacted us once. How heartless!
“On top of that, the Pond Family and Remus Family mistreated you, yet you didn’t tell us anything. Do you still treat us as your family?”
When Silvia saw his questioning gaze, she chuckled in resignation and said, “It’s because I treat you as my family that I didn’t tell you. You would’ve been worried about me.”
“Fine. Enough of that. Pack your stuff and come back to Imperial City with me. As for your marriage with Neil, Mom and Dad will help you with the divorce.”
“Give me your phone.”
When Zayn stretched out his hand, she was stunned. However, she slowly took out her phone and passed it to him.
“What are you trying to do, Zayn?”
“I’m adding your contact information.”
He sounded annoyed, and Silvia felt embarrassed. She changed her contact number when she left in the past. She did not want them to think that she still wanted to rely on the Xander Family after she returned to her own family.
After they became friends on WhatsApp, Zayn handed his phone to her. He linked arms with her and took out his phone to take a selfie with her.
Silvia opened her mouth slightly, and her eyes were full of shock. She appeared a little dumbfounded but adorable in the photo.
Zayn then added her to the family group chat before he sent the selfie to the group.
