After the heavy snow, the ground was completely covered in white. The historic Madison City was as beautiful as a city in a fairy tale, so there would be many tourists who would visit the city during this time of the year.
At this point in time, Madison City had become much more vibrant due to a significant increase in tourism. However, West Side was shrouded in shadow and the entire area was even colder than how it usually was during the rainy season.
It was as if a destructive tsunami was going to happen at any time.
The reason was none other than the conflict between Jayden and Silvia. Both of them were in a stalemate and no one was willing to give in. All the helpers in the house suffered as well. They were so afraid that they did not even dare to breathe heavily in front of them.
"Silvia, are you trying to court death?" It had been three days since he had lost control and forced himself on her. Jayden had used all kinds of methods, but Silvia was still not willing to say a word to him. Not only that, she refused to eat and drink too.
She was still alive, but she was more like a lifeless doll. She looked as if she would let out her very last breath at any time and become a cold dead body.
"Silvia, do you think that I will let you leave by going on a hunger strike? Don't you even think about it. Don't even think about it for the rest of your life!" Jayden concealed the worry and fear in his eyes as he roared furiously.
Silvia had not eaten or drank anything for the past three days. If it had not been for the fact that Carson had forcefully given her some nutrient injections, she would have already... Jayden did not dare to think about it. Every time he thought of that, he would be so flustered to the point that he was at a loss as to what to do.
In the past decade, he had learned a lot from the Kyle family. However, he was completely clueless when it came to handling women.
Three days ago, all he wanted to do was to make her stay. Hence, in a fit of rage, he had used the most cruel and unacceptable method on Silvia. He thought that everything would be fine if he could just keep her here. However, things had unexpectedly turned out like this.
Silvia had chosen to go on a hunger strike, to keep quiet and protest against him through her own means.
"Silvia... Just take a few bites, okay? Jayden finally gave in. All he wanted at that moment was to get Silvia to take at least a sip of water.
However, Silvia still ignored him. She even closed her eyes, refusing to stare at the ceiling anymore.
"Silvia... What else do you want from me? Just tell me what you want. I'll agree to all your requests." Besides leaving him, Jayden could promise her just anything.
At that moment, Silvia finally spoke for the first time in three days. She repeated the exact same words that she had told him. "Get someone to get the divorce papers. I want you to let me go and I want you to stop showing up in front of me ever again."
This was her only request. He wanted her to tell him what she wanted, but would he be able to fulfill it?
Silvia slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jayden's somber face. She smiled weakly. She knew that this man could only say it but he would never do as she said.
"I can agree to any of your requests except for letting you go."
"You can just kill me then."
"You..." In a fit of anger, Jayden picked up a bowl of oatmeal and poured it into her mouth. However, she was still like a puppet, motionless and emotionless.
