Chapter 305
“No. I can work in the study.”
Seeing how persistent Neil was, Silvia stopped persuading him. She nodded and returned to her room.
She dozed off not long after she lay in bed. As she drifted in and out of sleep, Neil seemed to enter theroom and stay briefly.
It was almost nighttime when she woke up.
She slowly sat up, and after she turned on the lamp, she spotted a glass of warm milk on the bedsidetable.
She got out of bed to wash up because she wanted to sit in the living room for a while.
She smelled the wonderful aroma of food the minute she opened her bedroom door.
When she arrived at the entrance of the kitchen, she saw Neil standing in front of the stove in an apron.She was stunned.
Neil turned and saw her standing there in surprise, so he said, “Go ahead and watch some TV. Dinnerwill be ready soon.”
“Okay.”
More than ten minutes later, Neil served some soup on the table and called out to Silvia. “It’s time fordinner.”

With that, she got up and walked to the dining table. The sight of the delicious–looking food made herappetite grow.
Soon, Neil handed her a plate of pasta.
“I wasn’t expecting you to be such a good cook”
“I just followed the recipe. It might not taste good.”
Silvia took a bite and subconsciously smiled. “It’s delicious.”
“You should eat more then.”
Neil could not hide his smile despite his nonchalance; Silvia’s words pleased him.
She wanted to do the dishes after dinner, but he stopped her.
“I’ll do it. Just relax on the couch.”
“But I feel so much better.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Since he insisted, Silvia could only nod and walk to the couch. However, someone rang the doorbelljust as she took a seat.
It was Melanie. Her expression changed when she found Neil doing the dishes, and she reprimandedhim, “Put the dishes down, Neil. You’re the president of Remus Corporation. How can you waste yourtime with such a thing?”

At the same time, she stared at Silvia with dissatisfaction. She felt that women should be responsiblefor household chores, but Silvia was sitting on the couch and watching TV. Meanwhile, her son wasdoing the dishes.
However, Neil did not stop. “What are you doing here, Mom?” he calmly asked.
Neil’s disobedience pushed Melanie to help him, but he turned her down.
After he placed the dishes in the dishwasher and washed his hands, he glanced at the stunnedMelanie. “Let’s talk in the study.”
Both Neil and Melanie entered the study, but the latter came out very quickly.
Before Melanie left, she said, “Silvia, a woman should be doing the household chores. Besides, Neil isvery busy with work. You shouldn’t ask him to waste his time with chores again.”
Silvia kept the peace with Melanie, but it was merely superficial. When she heard this, she refuted,“You can hire a housekeeper for him if you can’t accept it, Mrs. Remus.

Enraged, Melanie glared at Silvia and said, “Ada would never let Neil do such a thing!

Silvia looked at Melanie in amusement and said, “Go ahead and ask Ada about her monthly salary as ahousekeeper. I think Mr. Remus can afford it.”
“You ungrateful little sh*t!”
Silvia was about to speak up, but Neil’s cold voice interrupted her.
“Mom, this is between Silvia and me. You don’t have to visit if you can’t take it.”
Melanie felt hurt as she looked at him in disbelief.
“I’m doing this for you, Neil. How can you talk back to me and defend her instead?”
