Why didn't he respond?
After putting on a show for a long time, Silvia couldn't get any response from the man, so she felt disheartened.
But now, there was a crowd of people chasing her down. This man could be her only savior. No matter what, she had to hold onto him tightly.
She bit her lip and showed a more pitiful expression, almost kneeling down to the man in front of her. "Sir, it's okay if you don't want to give me any food, but can you let me hide here for a night?"
Jayden was caught by surprise and questioned her, "Hiding for a night?"
Silvia thought she may have said something wrong, "No, I mean, stay for the night. It's so dark outside. I just traveled through time and I'm not familiar with the area. I'm afraid that I'll be eaten by wolves if I step out."
Describing the people hunting her down as 'wolves' was not an exaggeration at all. To be honest, the group of people chasing her was even more terrible than the evil wolves.
Jayden raised his eyebrows, "Hmm, but we are not in the wilderness."
Silvia said pitifully, "There might not be wolves, but there are many bad guys. It's very likely for a single lady like myself to meet bad guys in the middle of the night."
Not knowing whether she was really anxious or pretending. Tears welled up in her eyes. For some reason, Jayden's heart softened.
In Jayden's heart, he never wanted to see Karen Joy cry. He didn't want that at all. Since Karen Joy was a child, he always protected her, cared for her, and would never let her suffer any grievances.
Simon was right. Silvia bore a slight resemblance to Karen Joy. Silvia was not Karen Joy, but he was still reluctant to let Silvia go. Just a little resemblance to Karen Joy was good enough for Jayden to feel content.
Without much contemplation, Jayden strode toward Silvia. Before she knew it, he grabbed her by the waist and picked her up.
"You... What are you doing?" Silvia breathed in Jayden's strong, foreign, masculine musk. She pushed him away, but he still held her firmly, so she was unable to break free.
"You sprained your ankle," he spoke calmly.
"I can walk on my own." Silvia had broken into a strange man's house and was being held in his arms. How could this be? Despite the man being so good-looking, he should not bully her!
"Are you frightened?" He asked. So, she was finally afraid! He thought that she didn't know how dangerous it was to break into a stranger's house in the middle of the night.
"Of course I'm frightened. Put me down first." The man did not look like a person to be trifled with. If she wasn't desperate, she wouldn't have wanted to provoke him.
However, he ignored her and carried her to the living room on the first floor. He put her on the sofa and sat down, then he turned around and left.
What on earth was this person trying to do?
Silvia peeked around. When she was about to stand up and run away, the man came back again. He glared at her and said, "Sit still."
He asked her not to move, but she didn't want to listen to him. She deliberately wanted to defy him and move anyway. While she had those thoughts in her mind, she did not dare move.
She was frightened by his gloomy face.
He walked to her side, squatted down in front of her and ordered, "Give me your feet."
Silvia looked at him warily. Instead of stretching her feet, she sat very still. "Well, what... what on earth do you want to do?"
He stopped talking and reached out to hold her injured right foot.
Silvia was so anxious that she struggled hard, "Let me go."
He looked up and warned her, "If you move again, I will hand you over to those people."
"You..." Silvia was so scared that her eyes widened. How did this man know that someone was chasing after her? She didn't say anything.
