Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Instigating Discord Is Quite a Technical Job Originally, South was supposed to start attending school today. However, he was injured. So, Gianna took him to school in the morning to register, then brought him home.

As soon as they arrived home, the doorbell rang. Thus, Gianna got up to open the door, only to see Adrian standing at the doorway with several bags of stuff in his hands. Her expression immediately darkened.

“What are you doing here?” On the other hand, Adrian had a huge smile plastered on his face. “Gianna, I‘m sorry. I came over to visit you. Yesterday, Kaylee took that attitude with you because she was trying to get back at you for all

the grievances I suffered in the past. As an adult, please don‘t take offense to her actions. To be honest, w–

we really missed you throughout all these years.” “That‘s enough. If you want to show off how lovey–

dovey you are, do it someplace else. Don‘t come and make me sick. After rolling in the sheets with Kaylee behind my back, what grievances did you suffer?” Upon

hearing those words, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “How did you know we were together?” Her gaze was as sharp as knives as she stared unblinkingl y at the man before her. “Seven years ago, I witnessed it myself. It was Kaylee who deliberately left the door open for me to see. That night, she gave me a glass of wine before I met up with you for our date.

But in fact, she slipped something into the wine. She planned everything, including what happened to

me afterward! Adrian Riley, don‘t you find it terrifying? That woman sleeping right next to you is such a vicious and callous w oman!”

He was utterly shocked, and his mind went blank–

so much so that he couldn’t even think. Then, he anxiously said, “Gianna, truth be told, I don‘t love Kayl ee at all. Don‘t you find it pitiful that we were kept apart for so many years because of her calculative pl ans? I can divorce Kaylee; I don‘t even mind that you have a child. Please, give me another chance. Le t‘s get back together again, okay?”

Originally, Gianna wanted to sow discord between Adrian and Kaylee. She wanted him to go back and r aise hell with Kaylee while she sat on the sidelines and watched. But… this is turning out to be a job th at requires a specific skillset and expertise. She was feeling so disgusted by him that she had layers and layers of goosebumps all over her body. Not only did I not manage to instigate anything between them, but I also nearly disgusted myself to death. Therefore, she shoved at him with all her might. “Get out of here!” However, he took the opportunity to grab her hand. “Gianna, I’ve always loved you. I know I made a mistake. Please give me another chance for us to get back together Technica… again.”

As he spoke, he forced his body inside, trying to hug her. In the end, he was still a man. No matter how hard Gianna struggled against him, she couldn’t break free from his grasp. Thus, she shouted angrily, “F*ck off!”

At that moment, a tall and large figure flashed by. Grabbing Adrian by the back collar of his shirt, he pulled him back and threw a punch at him. After that, Adrian fell to the ground.

When Gianna realized who it was, she was extremely surprised. “Why are you here?”

Silas glanced over at Gianna. The anger was not completely gone from his face, but his voice was much gentler. “Are you okay?” She took a deep breath. “I’m okay.” Then, he shot a glare at Adrian, and his gaze was frigid. “Are you going to leave? Or do you want to continue taking a beating?” She chimed in, “If you don‘t get lost right now, I‘m going to call Kaylee.

Do you want me to do that?”

Thus, Adrian took a deep breath. “Fine. I know that you‘re finding it difficult to accept right now, but ever ything I said is sincere. I‘ll come back another day.” After saying that, he left.

Subsequently, the corridor fell silent. They glanced at each other and found the atmosphere too awkwa rd to say anything.

In the end, Gianna broke the silence. “Mr. Nolan, thank you for just now.” “It‘s nothing,” Silas said. Then , he glanced at South, who was standing inside the house. “Are you alright?” At first, South had been re cording everything inside the house. Then, he saw his dad‘s cool side as soon as he came out.

Hence, he was very satisfied at the sight of his dad acting like a hero and saving a damsel in distress. Pretending to limp as he walked over to Silas, h e put on a pitiful and cute act. “Uncle Silas, my knee hurts.” Silas had already noticed the gauze wrapping around the little guy‘s knee. Scowling fiercely, his expression became very solemn. Then, he walked over, bent down, and carried him in his arms. “Let me see.” He wanted to check the wound. However, South furrowed his little brows and bl ocked Silas‘s hand from touching his wound. He said in a distressed voice, “Don‘t touch it, Uncle Silas. It hurts…” Gianna was appalled by the scene in front of her. This little b*stard is pretending! He is deliberately acting pitiful! His wound isn‘t that serious! Besides, he didn‘t make a single complaint just now. He clearly has taken a liking to Silas and is intentionally making Silas feel bad for him.

.. South‘s eyes sparkled. “Uncle Silas, did you come here looking for Mommy? Then, why don’t you come inside and have a seat?” While saying that, he deliberately limped and led Silas into the house by the hand.

Gianna‘s almond–shaped eyes widened into circles. She gave that sly little b*stard a warning glare. Just who do you think you are to invite him into the house?! To her surprise, that little b*stard didn‘t even spare her a glan at her inquiringly.

Therefore, Gianna smiled brightly and bit the bullet, saying, “Mr. Nolan, why don‘t you come inside and have a cup of tea?”
