Saying that, she handed him a bottle of water, showing a bit of consideration.
Julien rinsed his mouth with water. It took him quite a while to recover.
“Hey, don’t forget what you promised me.
“I won’t.”
“No, I mean… we.. um… Do you not remember at all?” Silas asked tentatively, feeling a bit anxious inside.
“What?” Rose looked at him with confusion.
At her response, he was at a loss for words.
It seemed she really didn’t remember.
He suddenly felt that he was being taken advantage of.
“Uh… Can you let go of me?” Rose gently pressed her lips together, feeling a bit embarrassed in his arms.
Silas’ heart was pounding, and he quickly released his hold on her.
Rose covered her chest and walked back to the bedside to sit down.
As he watched her slender figure, his heart tightened. He walked up to her and asked softly, “Do you want to eat something?”
“I want a mac and cheese cup.” Rose raised her eyes, meeting his eyes.
When she was in a bad mood, she always liked to comfort herself with a hot cup of mac and cheese.
“Okay, I’ll make it for you.
Silas rolled up his sleeves, thinking that this girl was easy to please. She was satisfied with just a cup of mac and cheese.
“And … add a poached egg.” Rose grabbed his hand and added a small request,
Silas smiled tenderly at her. “Sure, I’ll add two for you.”
“Being the center of attention is not what matters. What matters is that Mr. Walsh likes it.”
Since Alyssa was not too far away, she could distinctly hear Renee’s words. She raised her eyebrows slightly.
Julien looked at Renee’s pretentious look, and the nausea he had just suppressed seemed to rise again.
“Renee, do your best. Be considerate to Mr. Walsh, and he’ll gradually be moved by you.”
Dominic didn’t forget to belittle Alyssa. He sneered. “You’re my daughter. No matter what, you’re better than that divorced Alyssa. Renee, be confident. You’re not inferior to Alyssa at all.
“It’s just that you and Mr. Walsh lack a bit of fate, but that’s not important. Fate can be created. Alyssa and Mr.
Walsh embody the essence of a complete lack of fate. Otherwise, why would they be divorced?”
As Alyssa listened silently to the father and daughter’s big words, her cool face showed no emotion.
Meanwhile, Julien stared at Dominic and his daughter leaving the parking lot with wide eyes.
“Jeremy … is your ex-husband?”
“Yeah, I should have told you earlier. Anyway, it’s not a secret.” Alyssa was cool about it, not thinking that it was anything serious.
“You’re such a model ex-wife.” Julien couldn’t help teasing her.
“Others want to strangle each other after a divorce, but you still try to cure your ex-husband? Is it that you can’t forget him, or do you have something in his hands?”
“I just want to be accountable, that’s all. Let’s go.”
Expressionlessly, Alyssa took steps toward the hotel.
Julien looked at her resolute and cold retreating figure. Although she was just a girl in her early 20s, she seemed like a sword that could cut through the storm.
He couldn’t help but smirk. “Alyssa, you’re becoming more and more interesting.”
Dominic met an acquaintance on his way to the hall and started a conversation, leaving Renee to arrive at the banquet hall entrance first.
She arrogantly took out her invitation and handed it to the staff at the door.
“This way, Ms. Renee.”
“Thank you.”
As Renee smoothed her long hair and was about to enter, the resonant click of high heels echoed from behind.
She turned in surprise, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Renee remarked, “Look at the way you’re putting it. Lyse, aren’t you always low-key? You never attend such public events.”
“Oh? Then you’ll have to get used to it,” Alyssa retorted.
Alyssa narrowed her eyes at Renee with an intriguing expression. “From now on, I’ll frequently appear in public. I think we should meet often to catch up.”
Renee’s face showed an awkward smile, but she was exploding with anger on the inside.
“Miss, please show your invitation,” the staff politely asked Alyssa.
“I don’t have an invitation,” Alyssa said openly.
Renee covered her mouth and laughed sardonically. She finally found a chance to turn the tables.
“Lyse, has it been a long time since you attended such high-end events? Don’t you know you need an invitation to enter? You’re causing trouble for the staff like this.”
The staff also looked awkward. “I’m sorry, miss. You can’t enter without an invitation.”
“I’m Alyssa Taylor,” Alyssa said indifferently.
The word “Alyssa Taylor” was like a thunderbolt, stunning the two staff members.
In the past, Alyssa might have said, “My father is Winston Taylor,” to make things more convenient.
But now, after causing several city-wide shocks in Solana City, her name alone was powerful enough. There was no need to bring out her father.
“O-Oh, it’s Ms. Alyssa. I apologize.”
“It’s okay. I have something urgent and want to see Mr. Walsh. It’s my fault for this sudden visit anyway.”
Alyssa became humble, giving a slight smile. “Since I don’t have an invitation, I shouldn’t enter. My apologies.”
“No, no. This way, Ms. Alyssa.” The staff members were extremely courteous, a complete change from their attitude toward Renee.
“Thank you. Mr. Lovelace here is my friend. Can he join me?” Alyssa asked, smiling.
“Of course, of course. This way.”
Alyssa and Julien were led into the banquet hall with great respect.
Meanwhile, Renee stood alone in place, stomping her foot. Her face was flushed with anger.
Throughout her life, no matter how hard she tried and how well she did, every time Alyssa appeared, the latter would steal all the attention.
On the other hand, Jeremy and Landon were heading toward the banquet hall together.
“How’s Lauren doing recently?” Despite his expressionless face, Jeremy was concerned about his sister’s well-being.
Jeremy responded, “I’m just curious.”
“I didn’t do much. I just disfigured her,” Landon revealed.
When Landon recalled the pitiful state Betty was in when she was tortured in the warehouse that day, he couldn’t help but laugh.
