Silviaâs heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it, âYou have quite the imagination. I just want to go on a walk by myself. Itâs all because of what you said earlier, you know? I have to think about some stuff.â
After a while, Isla said, âAlright, take your time. Iâm going to take a shower first.â
Silvia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Isla walk away. Neil then walked out with a displeased expression.
âWhy didnât you just tell her it was me?â
âMr. Remus, youâre my ex-husband. She might misunderstand if she sees you.â
He frowned. âJust because weâre divorced, we canât meet anymore?â
âWe can but not in the middle of the night.â
Neil sneered. âOh, itâs okay for Chris to visit you at night, but itâs not okay for me?â
âOf course. Heâs my friend. If youâre done, please leave.â
Seeing her critical look, his eyes turned cold.
âSilvia, youâve gone too far!â
She glared at him in return. âIâve gone too far? You came to my doorstep in the middle of the night. You should be grateful that I havenât called the police to arrest you!â
He was rendered speechless.
âI have work in the morning, and I donât have time for this. Donât bother coming over unless you have a real reason.â
With that, Silvia walked into the mansion and slammed the door shut.
The moment she entered the living room, she found Isla standing nearby with a faint smile.
She was taken aback. âWhy are you here? Didnât you go off to take a shower?â
âI was waiting for you. Tell me who was outside just now.â
Silvia averted her gaze. âWho are you talking about? There was no one outside.â
âDonât play dumb.â
Isla grinned and pretended to walk toward the door. âHe probably hasnât left yet. I might still catch a glimpse of him if I open the door now.â
Silvia hurried to stop her and spoke in resignation, âFine, Iâll tell you.â
âHurry up!â Isla gave her a teasing look with eyes full of curiosity.
âIt was my ex-husband.â
âNeil?â
Isla was stunned, but she frowned and asked, âWasnât he having dinner with your sister earlier? Why did he suddenly show up at your doorstep?
Does he want to get back together with you?!â
âYou really have a wild imagination.â
âWhat other reason would a guy have for coming to see a woman?â
Silvia pondered about it and slowly said, âMaybe he was just bored.â
âCanât you think of something more positive?â
âLike what?â
âLike heâs in love with you!â
Silvia fell silent for a moment and responded calmly, âThereâs no way heâs in love with me.â
Isla frowned. âCome on! Have some confidence in yourself!â
âItâs not about confidence. I know him well. We were secretly married for three years, and he never fell in love with me the entire time. How could he suddenly fall in love with me right after our divorce?â
Isla spluttered and had no idea how to respond.
She did not know much about their marriage, so she could not comment on it.
âForget it. There are plenty of men out there. You can meet more of them now that youâre divorced!â
