Chapter 229
Isla and David were the only ones talking at the dining table. Neil and Silvia remained
quiet and did not even look at one another. It was as if each was pretending that the other
was invisible.
David glanced at Neil and tried to hold his laughter.
Neil had immediately agreed to join him when he heard that Silvia would be there.
However, he pretended not to care when she was right in front of him. Seriously, why was
he so stubborn?
After their meal, David and Isla went to pay the bill. Silvia and Neil trailed after.
Neil finally broke the silence when they reached the entrance.
“Don’t take what I said in the afternoon to heart. I won’t impose my standards on you
anymore.”
He had given it some thought. Even if Silvia never worked for the rest of her life, he would
be able to sustain her living. No one would dare criticize her for not graduating high
school.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, she seemed indifferent again as she
said, ” I didn’t take it to heart, Mr. Remus.”
Right after she said that, someone shouted angrily from the side.
“Why are you here?!”
Silvia turned around and saw Mindy, as well as Ada, standing nearby. Both of them looked
shocked, but Mindy’s eyes were also burning with anger.
There were a lot of plants in Heavenly Joy Restaurant. Silvia and Neil had been walking
toward a corner. In addition, she was a few steps behind him, so he was shielded by the
plants. As such, Mindy and Ada did not notice him.
Silvia looked at them calmly. “I don’t think I have to explain myself to you.”
Mindy’s face was red with rage. Ada immediately held her arm as she turned around and
said to Silvia, “Can you not make Mom angry anymore? I just saw you working as a
temporary staff at a design competition this morning. You couldn’t possibly afford a meal
here. Are you working here as a waitress?”
The moment Mindy heard this, she became even more furious. “Quit all these menial jobs.
Otherwise, the Pond Family and I will never forgive you!” she said angrily.
Silvia glared at Ada, who was trying her best to belittle her.
She was just about to say something when Neil walked beside her and spoke coldly, “What
exactly are you going to do to my wife?”
Mindy and Ada did not expect to see him. Their faces immediately turned pale.
Ada appeared upset as she said, “Neil, didn’t you say that you have something on when I
asked you out just now?”
She never thought that he would be spending time with Silvia.

“Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”
Ada’s face turned even paler due to Neil’s hostile attitude.
There was a hint of surprise in Silvia’s eyes. Was there conflict between Neil and Ada?
“Mr. Remus, please correct yourself. I’m no longer your wife. Please stop meddling in my
business.”
Ada and Mindy immediately looked at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were shocked to find out that Neil and Silvia were divorced.
In that case, why was Neil still protecting her when they were already divorced?
Neil immediately looked dissatisfied. “Shut up, Silvia!”
“Mr. Remus, I promised to keep this news from your grandmother. But there’s no need to
keep this from the Pond Family members and the woman you like,” Silvia said without a
care.
Besides, Neil had been bringing Ada to plenty of events recently. A lot of people already
assumed that they were a couple. Meanwhile, she was rumored to be his mistress.
If she did not clear the air, everyone would think that she was holding on to him and not
willing to get a divorce.
He fell silent and gave off a terrifying aura.
“I won’t bother you any further.”
Silvia tried to leave after that, but Neil grabbed her wrist.
He immediately dragged her into an empty private room next to them. Once he slammed
the door shut, he pinned her against the wall.
“Silvia, are you so eager to tell the world that you want nothing to do with me?”
