Ada had hoped to find any hint of anger and jealousy on Silviaâs face, so she was disappointed to see her unbothered expression.
She sneered and looked at Silvia in disdain. âDo you honestly believe that pretending to be tolerant will win Neilâs heart? Stop deluding yourself!â
âAda, youâre really pitiful,â Silvia calmly said.
âWhat did you say?!â
Adaâs eyes widened in anger and disbelief.
How dare Silvia call her pitiful!
âIsnât it the truth? Your entire existence seems to revolve around Neil as if life holds no meaning for you beyond him.â
Looking at Ada, Silvia wondered if she had appeared just as pitiful to others over the last three years.
âSilvia, youâre the pitiful one. Even if Mom and Dad did bring you back to the Pond Family, no one truly cares about you. Even your husband doesnât have any affection for you. So, no, Iâm not pitiful!â
Silvia laughed. She might have yearned for love from the Pond Family and Neil, but that was in the past. She did not care about such things anymore.
The most important thing now was to love herself. Seeking validation from others would only trap her in a never-ending cycle of self-doubt.
âWhatever. Iâll thank you if you can convince Neil to divorce me.â
With that, Silvia left. However, she came to a stop when she suddenly saw a figure around the corner.
It was Neil, and he was looking at her with an unfathomable gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat. He hated it whenever she brought up the topic of divorce.
Just as she braced for his anger, he left without a word.
Sensing his anger, Silvia frowned but did not go after him.
When she returned to the living room, Idris approached her and softly said, âYour grandmotherâs in the side hall. She wishes to speak with you.â
Silvia nodded and headed for the side hall.
This time, her grandmother, Bethany Moore, had a completely different attitude toward her. She smiled lovingly as soon as she saw Silvia.
âSilvia, come sit beside me.â
Silvia sat down and left some space between her and Bethany. âGrandma, I heard that you were looking for me,â she said indifferently.
Bethany asked about her well-being before changing the subject. âItâs been three years since you married Neil. Given that Neil treats you well now, you should seize this opportunity and have a child with him. That way, no one can challenge your position.â
Silvia was surprised. The Pond Family had previously urged her to divorce Neil so that he could marry Ada.
She did not expect them to shift their stance so rapidly. Therefore, she was impressed.
âGrandma, Iâve come to discuss something with you.â
âWhat is it?â
âI intend to divorce Neil.â
Bethanyâs smile faded, and her gaze turned cold.
âSilvia, I always thought you were a clever child. How can you say something so foolish?â
Silvia looked at her calmly and said, âMy divorce from Neil would be advantageous for the Pond Family. I only returned to the Pond Family at the age of sixteen. If Ada marries Neil, sheâll undoubtedly be in a better position to assist the Pond Family.â
Bethany never thought Silvia would be so forthright. She fell silent for a moment before she responded, âYou mean it?â
Silvia smiled. âOf course! His heart has always been set on Ada. I know that itâs impossible for him to fall in love with me. As long as the Pond Family is willing to step in, Iâm ready to divorce him.â
Bethany remained somewhat skeptical. She found it hard to believe that Silvia would willingly divorce Neil and give up on the Remus Familyâs wealth.
âGive me some time to think about it. After all, we need to respect Neilâs opinion as well.â
Silvia could sense that Bethany was trying not to address the issue directly. She was torn between wanting Ada to marry Neil and the fear of offending him.
âGrandma, please take your time to consider it carefully.â
