Chapter 58
The next morning, Silvia received a call from Abalene.
“Silvia, I’ve received an invitation from an old friend to spend the weekend at a resort. Do
you have any plans? Would you like to join me? I heard there’s horseback riding and also
an amusement park.”
Abalene was not keen on going at first. However, she heard about the activities and
thought that it would be a good
opportunity for her to blow off some steam with Silvia. She even invited Neil because she
thought it might help mend their relationship.
Silvia seemed a little surprised. Realizing that she had nothing planned for the weekend,
she agreed to tag along.
“Sure, I’m in. Should I pick you up or meet you at the resort?”
“I’ll pick you up at the mansion.”
Silvia hesitated for a few seconds before she spoke up, “Madam Remus, I’m staying in
North City now.”
Abalene furrowed her brows. “You and Neil are separated?”
Silvia did not know how to explain their relationship to Abalene, so she chose her words
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcarefully. “Not exactly. It’s just closer to my current workplace, so I’ve decided to stay
here.”
“Nonsense! How can a married couple live separately? Ada’s back. What if she tries to
take advantage of your absence?”
Silvia spoke softly, “Madam Remus, please don’t worry about this. Neil and I will work it
out ourselves.”
“If both of you could really work it out yourselves, you wouldn’t be separated. I’m going to
call him. If he doesn’t bring you back soon, I won’t let him off the hook!”
“Madam Remus-”
Abalene hung up before Silvia could finish her sentence.
When Silvia called her back, she reached her voicemail. It was evident that Abalene was
already on the line with Neil.
She sighed helplessly. She later set her phone aside and began to freshen up.
She only noticed that Neil had sent her several messages after she finished getting ready.
[Silvia, what the hell did you say to Grandma about Ada?
[Grandma already has a bad impression of Ada to begin with, and after you told her about
moving out, she threatened me. If I don’t bring you back to Remus Mansion, she’ll go after
Ada!
[What spell did you cast on Grandma to make side with you all the time? I told her it was
your decision to move out, but she
wouldn’t believe me!]
As Silvia read his messages, she could see how he staunchly defended Ada. She deleted
the texts with a straight face and
headed out to work.
Soon, the weekend arrived. Silvia had packed up early, and she was waiting for Abalene to
come over.
However, the vehicle that parked at her entrance turned out to be Neil’s car. She hesitated
for a moment but eventually opened the rear passenger door to get in.
“Sit in front!”
Silvia glanced at Neil, who was in the driver’s seat, and replied indifferently, “I’ll sit in the
back, so that I can keep Madam Remus company.”

Abalene was eager to mend their relationship, so she quickly said, “My old friend will be
sitting in the back later. It’ll be cramped with three people back here. Please sit in the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfront.”
Hearing this, Silvia resigned herself to her fate and reluctantly took the front passenger
seat.
As soon as she entered the car, Neil leaned over.
Silvia was startled, and she instinctively moved to the side. In doing so, she hit her
forehead against the window with a dull
thud.
She furrowed her brows and stared at Neil defensively. “What are you doing?”
Neil appeared offended. “I’m helping you with your seatbelt.”
“I can do it myself!”
Seeing that Silvia had fastened her seatbelt on her own, Neil did not say anything else.
However, his expression grew colder.
Abalene was filled with concern as she observed them from the back seat. The tension
between the two of them seemed
substantial
Even when they had arguments in the past, Silvia had never been this cold toward Neil.
They sat in silence until they arrived at the resort’s entrance. Right then, Silvia finally
realized that Abalene had deceived her about picking up her old friend.
