Neilâs expression turned darker following Silviaâs questions.
He held her shoulders and stared into her eyes as he seriously answered, âThatâs not it. Aside from repaying her favor, I also wanted to see how you would react. I was waiting for you to be jealous. I would have immediately drawn the line with Ada the second you objected.â
Silvia flung his hands away, and her gaze gradually turned cold. âDonât you think youâre supposed to draw the line with her? Why do I have to say something first? Why canât you have the sense to do it?â
âBecause I wasnât sure if you still liked me,â Neil said softly.
Silvia burst out laughing and mocked him, âIf I didnât care about you, why would I go off to Ferona to save you? If I didnât care, would I side with you when you were accused of sexually harassing Elaine York? If I didnât care, would I quietly tolerate your meetups with Ada over the past half a year?!â
â...Iâm sorry.â
She stood up and looked down at him as she said, âIf we have to keep testing each other, itâs time to consider whether we should still be together.â
Neil panicked, and he reached out to grab her hand, but she avoided him.
âIâll be quite busy with work over the next few days. Iâm going to be staying over at the company.â Silvia then went upstairs to pack her luggage.
When Neil saw her leaving with her luggage, he suddenly got up to block her way.
âSil, letâs talk about this. I donât want us to give each other the silent treatment.â
âIâm not giving you the silent treatment. I just need a few days to cool down,â she said indifferently.
âYou donât have to do that in the company. You can do that here.â
âMove. Please.â
However, Neil stood at the door and refused to budge. Both of them were in a stalemate for a while until Silvia put down her luggage. Her eyes shone with impatience.
âWhat exactly do you want?â
Neil grabbed her hand, and she scowled.

âSil, I know that Iâve disappointed you with my actions over the past half a year, but Iâm scared of losing you. Even though youâre right beside me, it always feels like thereâs this huge distance between us. Iâm worried that youâll suddenly think that you donât love me anymore and want to break up with me.â
After Silvia kept quiet for a while, she looked at Neil and said, âIâve never thought about living out the rest of my life with you.â
His expression changed. âWhat do you mean?â
âWe like each other right now, and thatâs why weâre together. If our feelings for each other grow stronger, we might get married again. But if we lose feelings for each other, Iâll leave. Iâll see where fate leads us, and I wonât be adamant about staying with you forever.â
If she was, she might have a hard time getting over Neil if things did not work out. Hence, she would not allow herself to get caught up in that situation again.
âSo, you donât mind me meeting Ada because youâre mentally prepared to break up with me anytime?â
Silvia looked resigned. âYouâve misunderstood me. Itâs not that I donât mind. Iâm just not the same person I used to be, so I donât want to argue about this. Weâve gone through too many things together, and I believe you already know what we should and shouldnât do.â
Neil remained silent for a long time before he released her hand and said, âFor some reason, I feel like that distance between us is greater than before after hearing what you said.â
His heart also ached even more.
