Silvia had never mentioned anything about Felix's death to Jayden.
The reason was simple. Jayden had nothing to do with Felix. He had no obligation to look for the murderer for her. Moreover, Silvia did not want to keep relying on Jayden for her personal affairs.
All these years, there would be someone who would take care of her and protect her. She had always taken them for granted and she would rely on them so much that she had become so helpless when she finally lost them.
A few months ago, she could only sit and watch as Norman and his cronies snatched Wateria Corporation away from her. Now that she had found out Felix was murdered, she could not even find any clues!
She told herself that could not rely on Jayden anymore. She had to do it herself...
As she was deep in her thoughts, Jayden grabbed her cold hand within his warm palms. In his deep and powerful voice, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Silvia shook her head and said, "Jayden, could you please concentrate on your driving? No matter when or where, you must prioritize our safety, okay?"
"Okay, I know what I'm doing." Something must be bothering this young lady but she was not willing to tell him. Jayden did not want her to worry, so he withdrew his hand and focused on his driving.
It was already 10:30 p.m. when they got home. However, the lights in the house were still on. Levi and Julien would even run to the door from time to time to see if Jayden had managed to bring their sister-in-law home.
After waiting for quite some time, they finally saw the two coming home. Levi trotted towards them and hugged one of Silvia's arms. "Sister Silvia, did Jayden bully you behind our backs?"
Silvia smiled and stroked his head. "No, he didn't."
Levi did not believe her. "But you don't look so well..."
"Really?" Silvia touched her face. She had experienced so much for the past few months, but she still could not hide her emotions. She would always show it on her face, and even a child could notice it. "It must be the weather. It's really cold outside."
Levi tiptoed and whispered in her ear, "Sister Silvia, I've already called for some backups. You don't have to be afraid of Jayden anymore. Just tell me if he bullies you, okay?."
Silvia said, "Backups? What backups?"
"It's a secret for now. I'll tell you in a couple of days." That afternoon, Mia had called Levi on the phone to ask about the situation here, and Levi had accidentally revealed that Jayden had locked Silvia up in a dark room as a punishment. When Mia heard that, she was so furious that she instantly said she was going to go over to Madison City to help Silvia out.
Mia was a go-getter. No one would be able to stop her when she had decided on something, so Levi was guessing that Mia was probably on the plane to Madison City at this very moment.
"Do you have to keep me guessing like this, Levi?" Silvia knew that Levi was a cheeky little boy, so she did not take his words seriously. She thought that Levi probably was just trying to scare Jayden.
"Jayden, Sister Silvia is a lady. You should always treat ladies well, and not bully them." Levi gave Jayden a discontented look, and then pulled Silvia up. "Sister Silvia, you must be hungry, right? Auntie Cherry has prepared a lot of good food for you. Make sure you have more of it later, okay?"
Jayden kept quiet.
He was quite happy that the boys could get along so well with Silvia.
