Chapter 149
They looked frightened, and the timid ones had already started weeping.
However, Neil was not sympathetic. “Since you’re brave enough to gossip, you should be brave enough to bear the consequences!” he said without mercy.
Silvia was slightly surprised to see him too. “When did you get back, Mr. Remus?”
“When you left the living room.”
“Oh.”
Did he follow her all the way to the backyard?
Neil looked at her tenderly. He did not expect Silvia to stand up for him, and an unspeakable feeling
filled his heart.
“Have you seen Madam Remus? She was talking about you just now.”
“Not yet.”
The moment he arrived at Harmony Yard, he saw her walking to the back, so he also followed her.
“I’ll push you there. Have you prepared a birthday gift for Madam Remus?”
“Yes.”
As she pushed him, they would chat from time to time. The atmosphere was quite relaxing.
The second they entered the living room, they instantly caught everyone’s eye.
Although Neil had announced his marriage to Silvia at Jeremy’s birthday party, the crowd was still
not used to it.
They had never heard of them being in a relationship. Why were they suddenly married?
Ada glared at Silvia with hatred. She should be the one standing behind Neil, but Silvia stole
everything!
When they approached Abalene, Neil handed her the birthday gift that he had prepared.
“Happy birthday, Grandma!”
Abalene glanced at him in annoyance. “You know it’s my birthday today, yet you still came back so late!”
Even though she nagged him, she was still happy to receive his gift.
There was a set of icy jadeite necklaces inside the box, and it was estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars.
Abalene calmly closed the box and handed it to the housekeeper.
“Silvia put more effort in preparing my birthday gift.”
When Neil saw Abalene subconsciously caress the diamond wristlet, he was shocked. However, he quickly schooled his expression.
“Is this her birthday gift to you?”
The diamond wristlet cost at least fifty million dollars.
Abalene nodded. “Yes.”
“It looks quite nice.”
They chatted for a while, and Melanie walked over with Ada.
“Mom, Ada also prepared a gift for you. It’s a rosary that she got from a church after she prayed there
for a month.”
Ada handed Abalene the rosary and seemed a little shy. “Madam Remus, I heard that it’s best to pray with a rosary in church, so I went there and prayed for a month. I wish you great health and a long life ahead!”
Abalene accepted the rosary in an aloof manner before she nodded and said, “Thank you, Miss Pond. Melanie, please entertain her on my behalf.”
Ada could sense Abalene’s indifference toward her. She froze for a while and automatically looked at
Neil.
However, he was looking at Silvia instead.
