Chapter 28\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany ultimately gave in to Silas\u2018 intense stare. She unbuckled her seatbelt in the backseat and reluctantly slid into the passenger seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After closing the door, she glanced at Silas. \u201cThanks for today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas suddenly smiled and didn\u2019t hold back. \u201cYou really owe me one today. If I hadn\u2019t shown up, were you actually planning to apologize to that little bitch?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing him referring to Ella as a \u201clittle bitch\u201c, Bethany felt strangely satisfied. \u201cI wasn\u2019t planning on apologizing to her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas scoffed. \u201cGood, then. I almost thought you were the type to let people push you around without retaliating.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany lowered her head and stared at her hands resting on her knees. \u201cI\u2019m not that kind of person.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 crisp cedar scent suddenly drew closer. He leaned in, his knuckles brushing her lower abdomen. Bethany froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing her tension, Silas smiled as he pulled the seatbelt over her body and secured it with a click.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His gaze flicked to her flushed ears. \u201cAfraid that I\u2019ll eat you up? Don\u2019t worry. I was just helping you fasten the seatbelt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s face turned red. She couldn\u2019t even bring herself to look at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas knew better than to push her too far. So, he simply eased a foot onto the gas pedal and continued driving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany noticed that he was heading toward her home. She glanced at her watch and told him, \u201cJust pull over and drop me off. I\u2019m going to the nursing home to visit my grandma.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 expression shifted slightly. \u201cWhere is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany gave him a name. Silas then pulled up the navigation page. \u201cI\u2019ll come visit her with you. After all, I\u2019m technically her grandson\u2013in\u2013law now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was at a loss for words. However, she couldn\u2019t refuse him and could only let him tag along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the car arrived at the nursing home, it drew quite a few curious glances, especially from the staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they saw Bethany getting out of the car, they could barely hide their surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, did you get a new car?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas got out of the driver\u2019s seat and wrapped an arm around Bethany\u2019s shoulder. \u201cHello, I\u2019m Beth\u2019s husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got married, Beth? Oh, this is wonderful news!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSarah would be delighted to learn that!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany nodded slightly. Feeling awkward, she instinctively shifted away from him. Instead of letting go, Silas pulled her even closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax, Mrs. Brennan. You don\u2019t want your grandma to see through your act, do you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Left with no other choice, Bethany had to let him lead her into Sarah\u2019s room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah had just woken up. The caregiver helped her onto the wheelchair and was just about to take her for a walk in the garden when Bethany arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth?\u201d Sarah was both surprised and delighted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she saw the man standing next to Bethany, she seemed confused. \u201cBeth, is that your husband? Why does he look different from the photo you showed me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
212\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas halted in his tracks and narrowed his eyes at Bethany. Nevertheless, he didn\u2019t immediately question her. He stepped forward and held Sarah\u2019s hand. \u201cSarah, my name is Silas Brennan. I should\u2019ve visited you earlier, but I hope you\u00a0<\/p>\n
won\u2019t mind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah took in the handsome and polite young man before her and didn\u2019t bother with the formalities. \u201cOf course I don\u2019t mind. What matters is that you both are happy together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The caregiver left so they could talk in private.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah gestured for Silas to take a seat. \u201cSilas, Beth may seem soft, but she\u2019s strong\u2013willed at heart. If you both have disagreements in the future, remember to tolerate and understand each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sighed. \u201cBeth\u2019s father died young, so she grew up with my husband and me. We raised her with love and care. When I\u2019m gone, can you promise me that you\u2019ll take good care of her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany suddenly felt an urge to cry. \u201cGrandma, why did you say that? You won\u2019t leave us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah chuckled. \u201cSilly girl, death is inevitable. Don\u2019t worry, though. As long as I\u2019m around, I won\u2019t allow anyone to bully you!\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was obvious to Silas that she was giving him a warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
