A week later, Silvia received the divorce certificate.
Right then, she felt a strange mix of emotions. Instead of happiness, it felt more like
everything had finally fallen into place.
She stored the divorce certificate carefully and started to pack her belongings.c
the mansion in North City since it was closer to her workplace.
planned to move to
As for the current mansion, there should not be any issue with selling it since Neil had
given it to her.
She made a post of the mansion on a second–hand property website and moved to the
one in North
City.
She was surprised to meet Chris there.
When Chris saw her luggage, a glimmer of anticipation flickered in his eyes.
“Why are you ”
“I got divorced, so I’m moving back.”
The fact that she had divorced Neil would become public knowledge eventually, so there
was no need to keep it a secret.

Chris was momentarily stunned before a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
“Silvia, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you. The mansion next to yours-”
Her phone rang abruptly, and interrupted him.
After she hung up, Silvia turned to him and said, “I have something to attend to right now.
Let’s catch up another day.”
“…Okay.”
As he watched her enter the mansion in a hurry, his gaze revealed a hint of
disappointment. He then
turned into the mansion next door.
Soon after, Silvia opened her inbox and clicked on the latest email. It was 7 p.m. by the
time she finished dealing with the matter.
As she picked up her phone to order takeout, Isla called.
“Silvia, I’ve wrapped up filming and returned to Ryoln City. Let’s have a late supper!”
Isla had a habit of eating before bedtime, and her metabolism allowed her to indulge
without gaining weight. Back when she was not well–known, she used to enjoy late–night
snacks regularly. Once she gained more fame, her agent stopped allowing it to ensure that
she always looked good on camera.
From then on, Isla developed a habit of rewarding herself with a late–night snack after she
completed
a movie or TV series.
“I haven’t had dinner yet.”
“Perfect! I haven’t eaten either. I’m on my way to pick you up. We’ll head straight to the
most upscale restaurant in Ryoln City. My treat!”
Silvia laughed. “It looks like you’re making quite a lot from this movie.”
“Not that much. It’s only one–tenth of my small goal.”
“Only?”
“Hahaha. Send me your address, and I’ll pick you up.‘
“Okay.”
After they ended the call, Silvia sent her location and tidied the
no room.
She had not been home for a while, and the place had gathered some dust.
Just as she finished wiping the table, the doorbell rang.
After Silvia opened the door, she quickly stepped aside. Isla tried to hug her but missed as
a result.

hug from me?”
“Then you should hug those who want it. I’d rather not.”
“Hmph. You’re making me angry!”
Silvia chuckled when she pouted. “Don’t make that expression with your aloof face. It’s
such a stark
contrast.”
Isla grumbled, “When I first debuted, I wanted to go for the cute girl image, but my agent
disagreed. You have no idea how hard it is to maintain this image when I see my fans.”
Her agent believed that an aloof persona would attract many fans.
In the end, it turned out that her agent was right. Hence, she had no choice but to keep up
the act.
“If your fans find out how you truly are in private, would they be disappointed?”
“Maybe they’ll love me even more. After all, I have a face that everyone loves.”
Silvia burst into laughter as she watched Isla revel in her own beauty.
“What’s so funny? I’m not lying. Someone’s been going after me recently. He even
invested in ‘A Thousand Years‘ just to have a meal with me. Unfortunately, he’s not my
type. I prefer someone like Neil. I love that cold, distant personality of his!”
“Pfft!”
