Abalene was not sure how much Silvia had overheard. She must have been heartbroken to hear Neil defend Ada.
âSilvia, what brings you here?â
Silvia snapped out of her thoughts and forced a smile. She picked up the phone she had dropped and handed it to Abalene.
âMadam Remus, you left your phone in my room. Iâm here to return it.â
Abalene took the phone and cautiously asked, âHow long have you been here?â
âI just arrived. Iâll go back now that Iâve returned your phone.â
Silvia did not wait for her response and left straightaway.
Seeing Silviaâs somewhat lonely figure, Abalene gave Neil the side-eye. âAlright. I canât be bothered to deal with you anymore. Just do whatever you want with Ada.â
After she entered her room, Neil went after Silvia without hesitation.
He blocked her way at the elevator doors and hoped to see a hint of anger on her face.
However, he was disappointed to see her look back at him with indifference.
âSilvia, donât you have any questions about what my grandmother said just now?â
Silvia looked straight ahead and replied with a lack of interest, âThatâs your business, not mine. You donât need to explain anything to me.â
Right then, the elevator doors opened.
She walked into the elevator and pressed the button to close the doors. However, Neil stepped in just as they were about to close.
âYou may not want to hear it, but I want to explain.â
Silvia felt a little helpless as she looked at him and said, âYou refused to explain when I wanted to hear it. Your explanation seems pointless now that Iâm not interested anymore.â
Neil looked her in the eyes fiercely and asked, âYou donât care about it anymore?â
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce ï¤Chapter 70 Watch Out, CEO Daddy!
After a brief pause, Silvia slowly said, âThe day after I asked you for a divorce for the first time, I went on a solo trip. When I was in the northernmost part of Icyland, I accidentally fell into a lake. The water was extremely cold, and I almost froze to death. If a local herder hadnât happened upon me, I might have died there.â
His eyes widened at the thought of her dying, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
âI never heard about it...â
Silvia looked at him calmly. âIâm not telling you this to guilt you or evoke any emotions. I just want you to know that when I was on the verge of dying in that lake, I realized something. Persistently pursuing things that arenât meant for you will only wear you out.
âSo, I truly donât love you anymore. It doesnât matter to me whether you have an affair with Ada or end up with her. Do you understand?â
Neil took a deep breath and firmly said, âEven if thatâs the case, I wonât divorce you. I promised to care for you for the rest of my life, and I wonât break it.â
âYou donât have to keep your promise. Iâll be better off without you.â
Her words pierced his heart, and he felt as if something was gradually slipping away from him.
âIâll never agree to a divorce no matter what you say!â he said stubbornly.
Even though the marriage had only caused them pain, he was against getting a divorce.
He could not quite figure out why he was clinging to this decision. Was it really because of the promise he had made to Silvia?
He did not want to think about it. When the elevator doors opened, he left in a hurry.
Silvia sighed as she watched his back.
After she returned to her room, she had lunch and took a nap. However, she was awakened by her ringing phone in the afternoon.
