Chapter 3
Neil paused. He remained silent for a few seconds before he said, “Yeah. Give her a call and tell her our plan.” Shortly after Neil arrived in Ceattle for work, Ada came as well. Although she claimed that it was a sightseeing trip, the employees in the branch office knew that she was there for Neil. “Understood.” Curtis immediately booked the flight tickets. They picked Ada up and headed straight to the airport. After several hours of flying, the plane landed smoothly at the airport in Ryoln City. While on the plane, Curtis noticed how caring Neil was toward Ada. Upon disembarking, they walked together toward the airport’s exit. In crowded places, Neil would instinctively protect Ada. Silvia had joined Neil on business trips before. However, he would be cold toward her even though she took care of him. Compared to Silvia, Ada seemed more like Neil’s wife. … At the same time, Silvia walked out from another exit at the airport. She was wearing a V-neck spaghetti-strap dress and sunglasses. She appeared to be in a good mood because there was a smile on her face. Dulcie had been waiting at the airport entrance. She waved as soon as she spotted Silvia. Silvia’s smile became brighter when she saw Dulcie. She quickened her pace with her suitcase. Just as Silvia was about to reach Dulcie, she noticed a hint of displeasure on her friend’s face. Dulcie was looking past her. Silvia was confused. She turned around and saw Neil, as well as Ada, walking side by side toward the exit. Although she remained expressionless, she subconsciously tightened her grip on her suitcase’s handle. She turned back and spoke before Dulcie could say anything. “Let’s go.” Dulcie saw Silvia’s calm expression and emotionless gaze. However, she could not tell whether Silvia had truly moved on from Neil or was merely putting up a front. Regardless, this was not the time to think about it, so Dulcie quickly took the suitcase from her. “It looks like you’ve done some shopping. Your suitcase is heavy.” “They’re all gifts for you guys.” The two chatted as they made their way outside. They did not realize that someone was staring at them, or more precisely, at Silvia. Ada gently tugged on Neil’s sleeve when she saw him looking in another direction. “Neil, what’s wrong?” Neil averted his gaze and shook his head. “It’s nothing.” Had his eyes deceived him? The woman earlier reminded him of Silvia, but Silvia had never worn a spaghetti-strap dress before. She would always dress in a ladylike manner. Neil frowned and looked at Curtis in displeasure. “You haven’t found out where Silvia is?” Curtis dared not meet Neil’s
gaze. He lowered his head and answered, “Yeah… But I’ll definitely get Miss Silvia’s exact location today!” Neil’s gaze turned cold. “Help me send Ada back. I need to go to the mansion,” he said. It was already 7 p.m. when Neil arrived at the mansion. The place was dark, which meant that Silvia was not home. As Neil opened the door, dust floated into the air. This made him frown. Whenever he returned home in the past, the first thing he saw would be Silvia’s smiling face. But this time, darkness greeted him. Once he turned on the living room lights, Neil noticed that a layer of dust had accumulated around the place. It looked like the property management staff did not lie to him. Silvia had not returned. There had been times in the past when Silvia would be angry with him, but she had never stayed away for a whole month. Neil felt uneasy. His unease escalated when he spotted a divorce agreement and a ring on the table. The divorce agreement had collected dust since no one had cleaned the house for a month. Neil picked up the agreement and fl*pped to the last page. As expected, Silvia had already signed it. A sudden wave of anger hit him. He had never been so furious before. His face turned red with rage as he clutched the agreement. How dare she! While Neil was overwhelmed with anger, his phone suddenly rang. “Mr. Remus, I’ve discovered where Miss Silvia is. She is… um… in North City…” Noticing Curtis’ hesitation, Neil spoke coldly, “Cut to the chase! Where exactly in North City is she?!” “She’s in another mansion. It belongs to Chris Rios, the new award-winning actor.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
