novelxo Chapter 1363
"You'll say I'm not the Silvia that you know whenever you despise me!" Silvia raised her head and glared fiercely at Jayden. Inexplicably, she started shedding tears. "Jayden, why aren't you scolding me? You should scold me whenever I do something wrong so that I would not repeat the same mistake."
"What did you do wrong?" Jayden asked. What was wrong with her? Why couldn't Jayden see through her thoughts? Jayden wondered, feeling clueless about what he might have wrongly said that agitated her.
"Jayden, I really did something wrong. Why can't you blame me for it?" Silvia didn't want to appear sad in front of him. However, she couldn't control her own emotions whenever Jayden treated her well. She thought that she should be punished for her wrongdoings, instead of assuming that everything's normal.
"Silvia, what's wrong? Take your time, tell me everything," Jayden asked anxiously as he held her hand.
"It was I who hurt myself after insisting to ride on that stupid roller coaster, but you took care of me at the hospital for so long and didn't get a good rest yourself. I'm discharged now, and you came all the way here to take care of me again. Just the thought of it makes me sad," she explained. Fortunately, Silvia managed to find a reasonable excuse that did not arouse his suspicion.
"Silly!" Jayden caressed her head gently and said, "That was an accident, and you're the victim. It was everyone's fault but yours."
"Jayden..." How could he be so kind?
"The roller coaster incident is in the past, you should get over it. Sleep early so that you're ready for tomorrow's trip," Jayden comforted her patiently.
"You didn't give me a clear answer a while ago. Are you going back to Madison City?" She didn't want to think about the child anymore as she was afraid that she might accidentally spill the truth. Hence, she tried to talk about another topic.
"Of course," he replied. If it was because of his business, he wouldn't care to return as he had employees to take care of it. The ultimate reason was still Silvia.
"I want to go back as well. I miss Mom, Reagan, Lemur, and Audrey," Silvia said. It was the first time for her to leave home for such a long duration.
The hospitable Kyle family, the beautiful weather, and the delicious food in Chatterton Town were certainly attractive, but it was still an unfamiliar city to Silvia, in which she wouldn't prefer to stay long-term. The weather in Chatterton Town was pleasant and she wouldn't feel cold with just a layer of clothing on... Unlike Madison City, with its unpredictable weather, where Silvia had to cover herself in layers or freeze to death. However, she still preferred Madison City as she grew up there.
Jayden said, "Silvia, how about spending New Year with me in Chatterton Town this year? Then, we shall go back to Madison City where we will celebrate with your mother."
"This is the first New Year after my dad's passing. For the past few years, the atmosphere at home wasn't festive. This year, without Dad and I, I'm afraid my Mom would feel lonely and miserable." Silvia blinked and looked at Jayden with pleading eyes. "Why don't you stay in Chatterton Town while I go back to Madison City to accompany my Mom? I will come back to be with you once New Year is over," she added.
"I'll take care of this matter." Jayden had originally planned to invite his family and friends over for a short gathering after her vacation, where he'd officially introduce Silvia to them. Who knew that this girl was thinking of returning to Madison City?
It seemed that he had to find another way to solve this matter. He wanted her to spend time with her mother, and also to introduce her to his family and friends. "Jayden, I'm really sorry to cause you more trouble again!" She did not want to bring him trouble, but she could not bear to leave her mother alone at home.
Silvia was her mother's only family member and support in the world at that moment. If she was to leave Mrs. Turner alone for such an important event, how would Mrs. Turner think? She would definitely be heartbroken.
The next day.
Everyone got up early, except Karen Joy, who kept pestering Lionel for a baby the night before.
Lionel had not hugged his wife to sleep for the past couple of nights. He was quite excited the previous night, thus they were making love till midnight. Karen Joy ended up having wobbly legs the next morning. "Karen Joy, why don't you sleep for a bit longer?" Lionel blamed himself for not being considerate enough as he might have overdone it. But, he did not regret it. After all, Karen Joy was like a drug to him, causing him to be addicted to it once he had a taste.
"Lionel, it's all because of you that I'm weak and in pain all over!" she replied. She knew she couldn't blame him for this as she, too, was enthusiastic the night before, which caused him to go all out. Lionel suggested, "Why don't I tell the ladies to go first? Then, I'll take you there in the afternoon."
A thought flashed across her mind. "Lionel, are you doing this on purpose?"
Lionel stammered, "Wh- what was on purpose?"
She looked at him and said, "It's because you don't want me to go on a vacation alone, therefore you're trying to make me stay this way. I'm simple-minded, hence I didn't expect you to pull these tricks on me to keep me here."
"Karen Joy, I..." She was too smart. He rarely tricked her and for one time he did, she saw it coming. He felt so humiliated and ashamed.
"Lionel, I forgive you since you didn't want to be separated from me. However, you must promise me that it won't happen again." Karen Joy never wanted to be mad at him, but a warning was necessary so that he wouldn't repeat it.
"Alright."
"Lionel, I can't go out in my current state. Tell Mom that I caught a mild cold and am currently resting after taking my medication. Let her know that you would send me over later in the afternoon!" "Okay," Lionel responded but stood still.
"Quick! Mom will come over later if you don't go now."Judging from his silly look, she could tell that he had never done anything mischievous before. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so adorably stunned after having his ruse exposed.
Kevin was very displeased with Karen leaving him behind for vacation. He hadn't said a single word to her since the previous night. However, although he was angry, he still personally arranged a car for them after waking up in the morning.
Karen got beside Kevin and pulled on his sleeve, asking, "Are you still mad at me?"
The night before, he slept on the edge of the bed and was unwilling to get close to her. He would kick her away every time she tried to crawl closer to him!
