A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy’s Woman 129
Chapter 129
Bethany stayed in her room for a long time to let the flush on her cheeks subside. She didn’t come out until Jane knocked on the door.
“Ma’am, dinner is ready. It’ll get cold if you don’t eat now.”
Jane had worked at the Brennan residence for a long time, and she put a lot of effort into looking after the newlyweds.
She had seen Silas sitting in the living room, staring at his phone. He refused to go over to the dining table, so she knew he was waiting for Bethany.
She didn’t understand why both of them always had to be so awkward with each other.
But she knew one thing–Silas cared a lot about Bethany.
Bethany knew she would have to face Silas sooner or later. She could hide for now, but she
couldn’t hide forever.
She sighed softly. “I’m coming.”
The steam in the bathroom had long since dissipated.
After splashing some cold water on her face, she dried off with a face towel and opened the
door to go
downstairs.
Silas had just sat down at the dining table. His dark eyes stared at her intently. “Did you get some rest?”
Bethany nodded slightly and responded faintly, “Yeah.”
The two ate in silence for a while before Silas spoke up. “Did you see the press conference this
afternoon?”
He had beaten her to the punch.
Bethany kept her head down. Her pale fingertips gripped her fork gently as she pushed the pasta around on her plate.
“I saw it.” She suddenly looked up. “Why did you say that?”
That question had been weighing on her mind.
Why did he target Ella and call her an attention–seeker? It seemed like he was venting on Bethany’s behalf.

And why did he say he was afraid she would get jealous?
Was he saying those things for the public, or was he saying them for her?
The light in Silas‘ dark eyes slowly faded into a cold gloom. “No reason. You don’t think I said it for you, do you?”
Bethany froze for a moment, but then a look of relief appeared on her face. It made Silas‘ eyes
turn even darker.
Silas‘ voice returned to its usual teasing tone. “I didn’t say it for you. Dad is suspicious by nature, so I was afraid he would think our relationship was on the rocks.”
He paused meaningfully for a second and then scoffed lightly. “Don’t tell me you actually thought I did it for you?”
Bethany’s heart jolted, and she denied it immediately. “I didn’t!”
She was so agitated that her voice rose, trembling slightly toward the end.
No matter how she said it, she sounded guilty.
Bethany was annoyed at her own clumsiness. From the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught sight of the incredibly clear tattoo below Silas‘ collarbone.
He was wearing a bathrobe with the collar slightly open. She hadn’t noticed it before, but the tattoo was exceptionally conspicuous now.
It was a tattoo with the letters O and B.
She naturally assumed the O stood for Oscar. But what about the B?
Bethany’s gaze grew complicated. She hadn’t expected Silas to be so devoted.
He had watched Oscar go through one boyfriend after another, yet he still tattooed Oscar’s name right near his heart.
Oscar really was the one he couldn’t have but cared about the most.
She couldn’t quite describe her own emotions. There was a sense of loss but also a trace of
relief.
She thought this was better. She and Silas were still in a peaceful contractual relationship, and she could stick to her original plan.
Silas narrowed his eyes. He didn’t miss the shift in her expression. It seemed she really believed his lame excuse.

He lowered his head and shook it slightly. Then he changed the subject without skipping a beat. “Are you going to see your grandmother tomorrow?”
“Yes.” Bethany was surprised. “Are you coming with me?”
