Chapter 217
Besides, it was not like they had never slept together before. Since these were special

“No. What’s on your mind?”

wonder if you truly don’t get what’s going on or if you’re just pretending to be clueless.”

she no longer dared to hold out hope for him.
“Mr. Remus, do you… have feelings for me?”
“Why else would I put my work on hold and come here?”

with him again.
However, her past experiences quickly brought her back to reality. Their unresolved
conflict would only bring more suffering to both of them even if they were to rekindle their
relationship.
“But you were clearly in love with Ada before.”
“It’s like you said. That was ‘before.“”
They both fell silent once again. After a long time, Silvia slowly said, “Let me think about
it. I’m really confused right now. I’ll give you an answer once I’ve sorted things out.”
“Okay.”
At least, she was not as distant toward him as before.

Silvia was aware that she should not waver when it came to Neil. But when he cut that
rope. without hesitation today, it left her in a state of indescribable shock.

“But I came back safely, didn’t I?”
“That’s because Mr. Remus rushed over to save you! If he hadn’t gone there, who knows
what could have happened? I saw the news about a massive wave sweeping both of you
away, but I couldn’t get through to you on the phone. I cried several times!”
“Alright, I’ll be more careful next time. Can I take a shower now?”

As soon as she entered the office, Dulcie approached her.
“I’ll treat you to dinner tonight to help you forget about your harrowing experience. Next
time you encounter a similar situation, don’t try to be a hero. Just stay as far away from it
as possible.”
Silvia laughed as she nodded and replied, “Okay.”

head.
“By the way, the Remus Family knows that Neil nearly risked his life to save you this time.
They might come looking for trouble. You should prepare yourself.”
