Chapter 55\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air seemed to suspend for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stood there, her face gradually draining of color.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas understood what was happening at once. So this was the real problem today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He let out a soft chuckle and said in a low voice tinged with amusement, \u201cIt looks like I haven\u2019t made myself clear enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hand that had been resting on Bethany\u2019s shoulder slid naturally to her cheek. With two fingers, he lifted her chin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under her stunned gaze, he leaned in and kissed her soft, pink lips. There was nothing tentative about it. Moreover, he didn\u2019t stop at a fleeting touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caught completely off guard, Bethany clenched her teeth and resisted, but a moment later, his tongue gently parted her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Warmth spread between their breaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany froze in place, trembling as she closed her eyes. In an instant, all her senses sharpened, and the sharp scent of cedarwood on him clung to her breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the kiss ended, Silas pulled back slightly, but his thumb still lingered against her flushed cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned to Sarah with a smile on his face. \u201cSarah, do you still think I like men?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The orange glow of the sunset traced his sharp features, and the silver wedding band on his ring finger caught a brief flash of light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The possessiveness in his gaze was so real that even Bethany felt dazed for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was stunned for a moment, then finally smiled in relief. \u201cSilas, it\u2019s not that I didn\u2019t believe you. Beth is too innocent, you know. I was afraid she\u2019d be bullied.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas flashed a knowing smile. \u201cShe is very innocent, indeed. But when we\u2019re together, I\u2019m the one getting bullied.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, he gestured toward Bethany\u2019s hand, which was pinching his waist out of shyness. \u201cLook, Sarah. She\u2019s sneaking up on me again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s face instantly burned red. She pulled her hand back and stammered, \u201cI\u2013I didn\u2019t!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that, Sarah was completely reassured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Silas had made some solemn promises, she might not have believed him. But the affection she\u2019d seen in his eyes couldn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
be faked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. It seems I overthought it. Don\u2019t blame me too much, Silas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas shook his head. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t dare, Sarah. Otherwise, I don\u2019t know how Beth will deal with me once we get home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Together, they finally assured Sarah of their relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later that day, Bethany repeatedly reminded the caregivers to keep a close eye on Sarah that night and to call her immediately if anything seemed off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas then slipped the caregiver a generous tip, so the promise came easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the car, Bethany couldn\u2019t bring herself to look at the man she had just kissed. Technically, that had been her first kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even during her secret relationship with Noah, they had never crossed that line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Silas watched the woman whose ears were now tinted pink and deliberately leaned closer. \u201cMrs. Brennan, are you upset because you kissed a gay man or because the kiss didn\u2019t last longer?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
