SWNOVELS Chapter 486
Chapter 486 Side Story: Silvia and Spencer (4)
At dusk, Silvia walked the dog together with Anaya in the garden.
Hearing the sound of a car passing by outside, Silvia looked up and saw a
white car driving into the villa next door.
Silvia thought it should be Spencer coming back.
Silvia went to ring the doorbell next door after she told Anaya that.
Soon, a man's low and hoarse voice came from the walkie-talkie. "Who's that?"
Silvia explained, "Hello, I live next door. When I passed by your house this morning, I picked up a watch at the door. I wonder if it is yours..."
Silvia wanted to say that she would hang the watch on the doorknob and Spencer could come out and take it. But before Silvia could finish her words, the iron gate in front of her opened automatically. "Come in please," Spencer said.
Silvia was never good at saying no to others. After hesitating for a long time, she still walked in.
It was about a three-minute walk from the gate to the villa.
When Silvia got to the door of the villa, Spencer was standing by the door waiting for her.
Spencer stood there still without any intention of walking a few steps toward Silvia, which made Silvia think he was a little impolite.
When Silvia was 3 feet away from Spencer, she stopped and handed him the watch she had wrapped with a handkerchief.
"Here you are."
After Spencer took the watch, Silvia immediately retreated a little.
When Silvia was mentally prepared, she could communicate a little with males and even have a small amount of physical contact with them, but in fact, she still resisted it in her heart. Spencer opened the handkerchief and glanced at the watch casually. Then he raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and looked at Silvia. "Thank you."
"It's nothing." Silvia responded casually and then said, "Then I'll leave first. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Spencer nodded.
Just as Silvia was about to leave, an old man suddenly walked out of the villa.
"Is that Shiloh?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Silvia was stunned for a moment.
When the old man completely walked out from behind Spencer, Silvia finally recognized the man. "Professor Dalton?"
Cullen was a professor in the art department of Boston University and was quite famous in the domestic art circles.
Cullen was Silvia's mentor when she was still at university.
During Silvia's university days, she learned a lot from Cullen and got to know many big shots.
As a college student, Silvia managed to hold her own art exhibition during her university days. It was all because of Cullen's help.
Silvia had always respected Cullen very much. After graduation, she often asked him for advice and accompanied him to enjoy art while drinking coffee.
However, Silvia was taken away by Bryant later and her face was ruined. So she didn't dare to meet anyone she knew in the past and she cut off contact with Cullen.
Now that Silvia saw Cullen again, she was both shocked and happy. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Cullen walked down the stairs with his walking stick and said in a hoarse and old voice, "Where have you been all these years? After you left, there was no one to drink coffee with me." Silvia smiled and said lightly, "Something happened at home back then. Now I have settled down in Germany. I'm sorry for not coming back to see
you."
Cullen knew Silvia very well and knew if there hadn't been a particularly big change, Silvia wouldn't have disappeared without a word.
Cullen had been worried about whether Silvia had died from an accident before, but fortunately, she was back.
Silvia didn't want to elaborate, so Cullen didn't get to the bottom of it and changed the topic, "Come in and have a seat. I have so much to talk to you
about.
"The students I have now are all thinking of making a name for themselves by painting. There are no students like you who are purely passionate about painting.
"Every time I chat with them, I feel very tired."
Silvia was a little hesitant.
Although Silvia also wanted to chat with Cullen, this was the home of
Spencer. She didn't really want to go in.
The strange environment would make Silvia feel uneasy.
Silvia thought if she had known earlier, she would have brought someone
over.
Seeing that Silvia did not reply for a long time, Spencer said, "If you don't want to come in, you can invite Professor Dalton to your place." Although Silvia wanted to do that, it would be rude if she really did.
Silvia thought, after all, Cullen was a guest of Spencer, and if she deliberately took Cullen away, it would make Spencer embarrassed. Silvia hesitated for a moment and said, "OK! Let's go in."
Silvia thought, Anaya is now next door. If something happens, Anaya will
come soon.
Moreover, not all men are as perverted as Bryant. It will be fine.
Silvia had mentally prepared herself for a long time before she walked into
the villa.
When Silvia passed by Spencer, she heard him ask in a low voice, "Did you cry on the side of the road that day because you were lovelorn?" Silvia looked at Spencer doubtfully and suddenly felt that the contour lines
on his face were a little familiar.
Silvia was a little surprised. "Was it you who handed me the tissue that day?"
"Yes," Spencer said faintly and repeated his question.
Silvia replied, "I don't have a boyfriend. It's not a breakup. I just ran into something bad."
Spencer dropped the topic and then said, "Let's go in."
Silvia had been painting for the past few years, and she had often cared
about news in the painting industry.
No one had been able to talk to Silvia about painting all these years. As a result, she couldn't help but talk a lot with Cullen.
Spencer made coffee for the two of them, and his eyes fell on Silvia's face,
which was slightly red from excitement. After pausing for a few seconds, he quietly retracted his gaze.
Silvia had dinner at Spencer's house and talked to Cullen all the way until
nine o'clock in the evening.
Silvia didn't stop talking until Cullen was ready to leave.
It had been many years since Silvia had said so much.
It felt like Silvia had suddenly come back to life.
Silvia had studied painting for more than ten years, and she still loved it.
Silvia and Cullen walked to the door together. Cullen asked, "An art teacher
at our school applied for leave yesterday. He can't go back to school for the time being.
"Are you free these days? Why don't you come over and take over a class
for him for a few days?"
Silvia was a little hesitant.
Cullen continued, "If you agree, we can still talk at school. If you have any
questions, you can come to me directly."
Silvia also missed her university life a little. After thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.
Cullen continued, "Then see you at school tomorrow. You may follow me to
a class in the morning, and you will teach a lesson by yourself in the
afternoon."
"Okay."
After this matter was settled, Silvia went back next door.
Cullen got into the car which had been waiting at the door. Spencer stood
on the side of the road. He was tall and had a gentle and cold
temperament.
"Thank you for tonight, Professor Dalton," Spencer said.
Cullen looked at Spencer and smiled, "It's nothing.
"Everything is ready for you now. But it's up to you whether you can make it
or not."
Spencer nodded. "Goodbye."
"Bye."
