The butler kept quiet.
Arthur was a grandparent who did not hold back. He really gave Ryan a piece of his mind.
Nevertheless, Ryan pursued Silvia in the following days. He would send her flowers or invite her out for meals every day. He even bought tickets for a musical and asked her to join him.
However, Silvia turned all of his gifts and invitations down.
After a week, she could not stand it anymore. She decided that it was time to meet him and reject him directly.
âMr. Anderson, I donât like it when someone pursues me so publicly. Iâm grateful that you saved my life, but I wonât fall for you. If you ever need assistance in the future, Iâll be there for you. But Iâm truly not interested in you romantically.â
Following a brief silence, Ryan looked at her and asked, âDo you still have feelings for Neil?â
Silvia nodded without hesitation. âYes, but I donât want to be with him anymore.â
âI understand. Iâll stop sending you gifts, but I do have a favor to ask.â
âWhat is it?â
âBe my girlfriend for a month. After that, you wonât owe me a thing for saving you.â
Silvia frowned. She was about to say no, but Ryan continued, âDonât worry. Weâll just pretend to be a couple. You only have to accompany me back home and have a few meals with my family. Privately, weâll still interact as friends.â
After some thought, Silvia shook her head. âI canât agree to this request. If you had asked me before your confession, I might have said yes. Now that I know you have feelings for me, I canât pretend to be your girlfriend.â
Besides, the Anderson Family might not like the idea of Ryan being with her. It could lead to a lot of problems.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Ryanâs eyes, and he replied with a bitter smile, âYou wonât agree to it even though itâs just pretend?â
âIâm sorry, Mr. Anderson. Please come up with another request.â
âThis is my only request.â Ryan looked at her sincerely.
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce ï¤Chapter 578 He wanted to be her boyfriend. He did not mind even if it was just an act and they would go their separate ways after a month.
Silvia looked down. âLet me think about it.â
âSure. Iâll await your decision.â
Ryan knew that it was a little unfair to ask this of Silvia. Yet, he could not think of any other way to get closer to her.
They left the restaurant after their meal and spotted a lonely figure leaning against a car nearby.
Neil fixed his gaze on Silvia and Ryan, but he did not come closer. He just watched them from a distance.
Silvia did not know what he was planning, and she was not interested in finding out. She said goodbye to Ryan and left in a taxi.
During the ride, the driver glanced in the rearview mirror several times. He smiled and asked, âYoung lady, did you and your boyfriend have a little spat?â
Silvia seemed surprised. âNo. Why do you ask?â
âA car has been tailing us the entire way.â
Silvia turned and frowned when she saw Neilâs car trailing behind.
âJust ignore it,â she said.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of Elm Bay. Silvia paid the fare and stepped out.
She noticed that Neil was still following her and instantly felt upset.
Even though she had broken up with him, he continued to intrude into her life. She could not find any peace.
She quickly walked up to his car and knocked on the window. Then, she sternly said, âNeil, what are you up to? Do you realize that youâre behaving like a stalker? I could call the police on you at any time!â
