Chapter 41\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany had no idea that Silas had misunderstood her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes darkened, and his lips curled into a meaningful smile. \u201cI really like this gift. But I\u2019m going on a business trip on Friday. I\u2019ll be back over the weekend. We\u2019ll go then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was surprised that he was considerate enough to report his schedule to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled faintly. \u201cAlright, you can decide the date.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the skin he had exposed, she felt a little awkward and quickly looked for an excuse to leave his room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane thought the two were getting closer, but surprisingly, Bethany was out of Silas\u2018 room in less than ten minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next morning, Bethany noticed Silas was already gone at breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane said, \u201cMrs. Brennan, Mr. Brennan won\u2019t be back until the day after tomorrow. He caught an early flight this morning and asked me to inform you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany nodded. She wasn\u2019t really concerned about it. After all, he had already told her about his trip yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She suddenly thought of Noah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Apparently, as long as the man wanted to, even a contractual husband could keep her in the loop about everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah, however, appeared whenever he pleased and disappeared just as freely. She shook her head, brushing away the shadow of that scumbag from her memories.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That afternoon at work, Bethany received a call from Gary. \u201cHey, Gary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time Gary had called Bethany since she became an adult.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, you haven\u2019t been home in a long time. I remember you loved roasted chicken as a kid. How about we have a lively family dinner tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was about to refuse, but Gary quickly added, \u201cYour mom lectured you two days ago, right? I told her to back off from your work. Don\u2019t take it personally. She\u2019s just blunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this point, refusing felt awkward, so Bethany replied, \u201cAlright. I\u2019ll be there tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She happened to have a few boxes of fruit in her car, so she brought them over as a courtesy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she arrived, she called over the Reid family\u2019s butler, Davin Delaney, and ran into Leo coming home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leo wasn\u2019t too fond of Bethany. He glanced disdainfully at the few boxes of cheap fruit she had Davin carry, scoffed quietly, and walked into the villa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He remembered the shoes Bethany had given him on his 16th birthday, while Ella had gifted him his first sports car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though he didn\u2019t have his driver\u2019s license yet, he could still brag about it to his buddies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That pair of shoes, worth less than ten grand, had long been tossed into the storage room to gather dust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People who lacked proper decorum would never have it, regardless of their age.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was accustomed to Leo\u2019s attitude. Her younger brother, five years her junior, had likely never truly regarded her as a\u00a0<\/p>\n
sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 20, Bethany might have cared, but at 25, she had moved on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she entered the house, Gary greeted her warmly at the dining table. \u201cBeth, you\u2019re finally here. Your mom was just about to call you. I told her that you wouldn\u2019t be late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leo glanced at Bethany with contempt and muttered, \u201cDad, wasn\u2019t this supposed to be a family dinner? Why did you invite her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary frowned at Leo. \u201cWhat\u2019s with that attitude? Beth is your sister. How is this not a family dinner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Diana defended Leo. \u201cGary, Leo is still young. Don\u2019t scold him as soon as he gets home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked calmly at Bethany, who stood nearby. \u201cGo wash your hands and come eat. Ella and her fiance went out on a date, so it\u2019s just us tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany wasn\u2019t sure whether Diana knew about her relationship with Noah, but she felt her words were deliberately meant for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled bitterly and thought that she shouldn\u2019t have come that day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, why are you eating so little? Come on, eat more. You can\u2019t be too skinny,\u201d Gary said as he put food on Bethany\u2019s plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
