Chapter 187 Trouble
Silvia remained silent, so Cyril thought she was contemplating her relationship with Miles and Bruce.
In that moment, Cyril’s anger swelled like a balloon, growing bigger and bigger. He couldn’t accept that a woman he had once been involved with was now involved with someone else.
“What kind of person is he? I should know better than you.” Cyril believed he had all the evidence to understand who Silvia truly was. After he finished speaking, everyone was
stunned.
“The reason you wanted to divorce me, unwilling to discuss anything, was it because you felt guilty deep down? You’ve been involved with other men behind my back, so why do you think everything is my fault? Are you so innocent?” Cyril’s interrogation seemed increasingly advantageous, as if everything he said was unquestionably true.
The expressions of the others became even more peculiar, especially those around Silvia, who looked at Cyril with confusion, seeming to want to ask him why he spoke that way, if he had misunderstood something.
But this was not surprising; after all these years, Cyril seemed to have never truly understood Silvia’s identity. He just assumed what Silvia’s role should be and automatically believed their divorce was not his fault, and Silvia couldn’t escape blame either.
Silvia couldn’t help but sneer, “So you think the one not taking this marriage seriously is me?”
“Am I wrong? You must have been involved with these men before our divorce. Yet you still see Karina as your rival. I don’t understand your thoughts. You know no one could threaten our marriage, including Karina.”
“It’s been so long since our divorce, I don’t want to say anything. But today, I’ll tell you that our divorce has nothing to do with Karina or anyone else. It’s because you, here, feel so self–righteous, thinking you’re justified in everything you do. Do you want to see what I’ve done for this marriage over the years? Just because I don’t talk about it doesn’t mean I’m foolish.”
Silvia knew very well what she had done during their marriage. Cyril didn’t say anything, even after the divorce. He didn’t want to bring up past issues with Cyril, just wanting to maintain some dignity for both of them.
But obviously, Cyril didn’t want this; he dared to claim that she was the first to betray the marriage. Maybe he should really investigate who betrayed first
“It seems there’s nothing more to say between us. Since there’s nothing left to say, let’s end it here. Today, I’ll pretend I didn’t see you, and I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said. I don’t want there to be a next time.
If you keep bothering me like this, I wonder what I could do to you using Ivan Group. Your company has grown, and it won’t be easy for you to explain to your shareholders if I snatch away many projects from you. So please, be rational, use your brain to think about what’s really important.”
Silvia no longer wanted to entangle with him. She had been entangled with Cyril for a while, and she started to doubt her own judgment. Cyril wasn’t as good as she thought. Even up to now, he kept avoiding responsibility, not realizing the problem lay with him. How foolish was she to marry him in the first place and endure this marriage for so many years?
Silvia didn’t want to continue talking with him. She grabbed Miles‘ hand and left.
Seeing Silvia leave, others glanced at Cyril with disdain. If Silvia hadn’t intended to end things, Cyril wouldn’t have stood there and spouted so much nonsense.
After leaving the bar, Silvia had thought about finding another place, but now she didn’t want to anymore. She just felt extremely annoyed.
“I feel like you two still have something to discuss, so we won’t disturb you. We’ll leave now. Let us know if you need anything.”
Kate and Miranda exchanged a glance. Honestly, Miles‘ behavior today surprised them greatly. But it also showed that Miles was a good person. If the two of them could be together, it would be perfect.
So they left, giving them time and space to be together. It happened so quickly that even Silvia, abandoned by her good friends, found it unbelievable. She watched them leave in silence.
“Did my appearance here today cause you any trouble? If it did, you can tell me directly. I didn’t mean to cause you any problems with what I said that day.”
Miles looked at Silvia earnestly. His feelings for Silvia were genuine.
But if his affection for her would cause her any trouble, then he thought he should pursue her in a more indirect way.
Losing herself in Miles‘ sincerity, Silvia fell silent. She didn’t know how to respond to his words.
But Miles didn’t understand Silvia’s meaning. What was her expression? Did she think he was wrong? Or was it something else?
“I know you probably don’t like me now, especially coming out of that marriage. You probably don’t want to enter another intimate relationship so soon, and I understand. But I want you to see my sincerity. Whether you accept it or not is up to you, but I won’t cause you any trouble.”
“Wait, that’s not what I meant.”
Miles‘ words left Silvia feeling a bit helpless.
To be honest, in all the years she had been with Cyril, she had never encountered someone so normal. Suddenly, someone was talking to her in such a normal manner, even pursuing her, which really surprised Silvia.
