Chapter 1136
"Yes, it's just a dream. Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jayden patted her on the back and comforted her in a gentle voice.
With him by her side, and his warm chest to lean on to, Silvia gradually calmed down. She leaned against his chest and asked, "Jayden, do you know what I just dreamt about just now?" Jayden lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Tell me."
Silvia rubbed her head against his chest and said slowly, "I dreamt about Norman..."
Jayden interrupted her. "Norman is in prison now. He will not get out for the rest of his life. If you're going to dream about him, you might as well dream about me, right?"
Silvia looked up and blinked her beautiful watery eyes at him. "I dreamed about you too."
Jayden picked up her soft and long hair and smelled it. "What was it about?"
"At first, it was only Norman. He was pointing a gun at my head, but in the blink of an eye, he became you..." Even if it was just a dream, Silvia could not help but get scared as she narrated her dream. She instinctively leaned into his arms once again.
Jayden embraced her and said, "That's just a dream. I will never point a gun at your head, ever!"
Silvia continued, "You even told me that you were the mastermind behind everything... and you even pulled the trigger at me right after that."
Upon hearing Silvia's words, Jayden's body froze and there was a gleam in his eyes. However, he quickly concealed the surprise look in his eyes and fell silent while tightening his arms around Silvia. Silvia took a deep breath and said, "Of course, it's just a nightmare. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to bring Norman to justice. It's impossible that you'd collude with him." "Yeah, it's just a dream!" Jayden did not want to linger over this topic anymore, so he patted her and said, "Okay, you should go back to sleep now. I'll be here with you."
"Okay, I'll sleep now." Silvia wanted to roll over to the other side, but as soon as she moved, Jayden immediately held her tightly in his arms.
However, Silvia did not struggle. She knew that she would not have anymore nightmares sleeping in his arms, and Jayden was also willing to hold her, so there's no reason for her to struggle. Leaning against Jayden's firm and warm chest and listening to his steady heartbeat, Silvia felt extremely at ease and soon fell into a deep slumber once again.
Jayden held Silvia, who was sleeping soundly like a baby in his arms. He gently patted her back. "Silly girl, why do you always refuse to come to me whenever you need me?" Silvia suddenly muttered, "Jayden..."
Jayden quickly lowered his head and said, "Mm?"
Silvia licked her lips and said, "You can't..."
"What? Silvia, what do you want to tell me?" Jayden got closer to her and wanted to listen to what she wanted to say. However, Silvia shut her lips and did not say a word anymore. What exactly did she want to tell him?
How could she do this to him?
Jayden was very upset with her so he dropped his head and kissed her. As he kissed her with all his strength, he bit her lips and said, "Silly girl, how dare you do this to me?" "Ouch!" Silvia instinctively pushed him away in her sleep, but Jayden held her even tighter and he refused to let go of her. "No matter how painful it is, you'll never be able to leave me, never in this lifetime."
No matter how cruel and dirty his tricks had to be... he would never let go of the things that he wanted, just like he did the last time.
Silvia and Jayden did not make love that night, but when Silvia woke up in the morning, her body was aching. It was probably because of Jayden who held her so tightly in his arms for the entire night. When Silvia had just arrived at the company, Audrey studied her with a playful look in her eyes and said, "Director Turner, it's good to be young, isn't it?"
Silvia rolled her eyes at her and said grumpily. "Manager Audrey, you're making fun of me, aren't you?"
"Since when was I making fun of you?" Audrey said with a smile. "I'm really envious of you. You were already working so hard during the day, and you still have the energy to do it at night."
Silvia really wished that she could kick Audrey, but they were at the company, so she had to pay more attention to her identity. "Audrey, can you please stop your nonsense? We're at the company now. Moreover, I went to bed early last night, and I didn't do whatever that dirty mind of yours was thinking."
"You didn't?" Audrey looked at Silvia, and she obviously did not believe her. "You didn't do it last night, then why are you massaging your back like this? Whoever sees you now could easily discern what you did last night, okay?"
Silvia glared at her viciously and said, "Audrey, can't you just stop being so nosy? Just take a moment and think about it. You must have saved the country in your past life to be able to befriend me." Audrey did not take Silvia's words seriously and replied, "It's a woman's nature to be nosy, okay? Besides, I'm only nosy because I think highly of you. Do you really think that I have the time to put my nose in someone else's business?"
Audrey's words were true, so Silvia was convinced. "Then let me tell you, you've really thought too much. So let's just quit this nonsense already, okay? Else, I'll punch you!"
"Huh, just look at yourself, can you? You looked so tired, would you even have the strength to beat me up?" Audrey glanced at her, and turned her head to look at the car which was still parked outside. "How could Jayden do this to you? You're already so exhausted, why can't he be a little more considerate? Does he only care about his own pleasure and never consider your feelings?"
Silvia hurriedly said, "Stop it, Audrey, we're at the company now. I'm your boss, and you're my employee. Could we be mindful of our positions, please?"
"Director Turner, we're just in the building, and we haven't entered the office! Moreover, it's still way before working hours... You know you don't have to hide anything in front of me." Audrey stared at her and continued, "Do you think I'm just being nosy? I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't plan to comment, then it's fine for you to choose him based on his appearance. But if you plan to be with him for the rest of your life, then you must not get cheated by his good looks. You need to know if he actually cares for you and respects you."
Instinctively, Silvia wanted to explain on Jayden's behalf. "To be honest, he's quite nice to me."
Silvia had actually never thought of Jayden as a good guy, but now that someone else was criticizing him, Silvia instinctively wanted to defend him.
Audrey grabbed on to Silvia's arm and said, "Silvia, I think you've really fallen for him."
This time, Audrey's words were no longer a question, but a confirmation.
"No, I didn't... That's impossible. I have a man I like. Reagan should have mentioned him before." Silvia was still trying to deny her feelings. However, she was not even convinced by her own words. Many years ago, she felt that she would only like Felix for the rest of her life. If she was to marry a guy, it would definitely be Felix.
However, only a few months after Felix's disappearance, she had already become another man's wife. This was something that Silvia still could not accept up to this day.
She did not want to be a fickle woman and she wanted to be loyal to her relationship. However, reality had given her a tight slap on the face.
