Chapter 57\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas carefully laid Bethany down on the bed. \u201cSorry, I shouldn\u2019t have driven so fast. It won\u2019t happen again. I\u2019ll have Jane make you some chicken noodle soup.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned to leave and soon came back holding a box of medicine. \u201cI just consulted the doctor. Taking this will help ease your discomfort.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He placed the pills in his palm and held a glass of water in front of her. \u201cWant me to feed you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany pressed her lips together and took the pills from him. She placed them in her mouth, took a sip of water, and swallowed them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas didn\u2019t leave after she\u2019d taken her meds. Instead, he watched her finish her drink of water and fixed his gaze on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany felt a little uneasy under his gaze. She cleared her throat and said, \u201cI\u2019m going to sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After lowering her eyes to avoid his burning stare, she mumbled, \u201cI didn\u2019t think you were dirty. It\u2019s just that\u2026 That was my first kiss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 tense jaw instantly softened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He suddenly rested his palm on the side of her bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His smile deepened, and his eyes darkened with intensity as he said, \u201cWhat a coincidence. Me too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, Bethany woke up with her cheek still warm to the touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t quite understand Silas\u2018 \u201cme too\u201d remark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did it mean that despite Silas\u2018 reputation as a playboy with many boyfriends, he was actually a hopeless romantic?\u00a0<\/p>\n
No, Bethany wouldn\u2019t believe a word a man said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coincidentally, Holly invited her to go shopping that day. And not wanting to be alone, Bethany agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, I\u2019m sorry about what happened last time. I\u2019ll buy you a bag to make it up to you, okay? I feel really bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled helplessly. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. It\u2019s all in the past now, so you don\u2019t need to buy me anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Holly insisted so relentlessly that Bethany thought she could perhaps just pick a purse instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as they entered the store, an awkward encounter unfolded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s smile faded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella, linking arms with Noah, stepped forward with a fake smile on her face. \u201cBeth, Hols, what a coincidence it is to see you\u00a0<\/p>\n
here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s eyes darkened as he found himself staring at the face he\u2019d been missing day and night without even realizing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that dazed look on his face almost made Ella grind her teeth in anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She deliberately stirred the pot, saying, \u201cBeth, Mom came home crying for a long time yesterday. Did you accidentally upset her again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly, unaware of Ella and Bethany\u2019s relationship, was confused. \u201cMom?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s expression remained cool. \u201cHols, can we go to another store?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noah narrowed his eyes. Annoyance briefly clouded his expression, but he contained his feelings in front of Ella.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly looked at Bethany in shock. \u201cBeth, you had a crush on\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smirked, not showing the expected shame of being exposed. She simply drew a deep breath and said, \u201cSorry, but I have better taste in men. I don\u2019t harbor crushes on people who\u2019re already taken.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, don\u2019t tell me about your family matters. I\u2019m not your sister anymore because I don\u2019t recognize Diana as my mom. She might be family to you, but that\u2019s not the case for me. So, Ella, can you stop buzzing around me like an annoying fly now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
