DELIVERED\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 58\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas was right. Bethany had used to be such a pushover. After all, most of what Otis and Sarah taught her was to endure and\u00a0<\/p>\n
lie in wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They would say things like \u201cJust bear with it for a moment. It\u2019ll pass eventually\u201d and \u201cJust wait for a bit more. Your mom will be here to pick you up soon\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As such, Bethany had been enduring and waiting all this time. But now, she was done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly didn\u2019t know what was wrong with Bethany. The moment she turned around, she chased after her, not caring about Noah and Ella.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind them, Ella was fuming, but she still put on a weak and innocent front. \u201cNoah, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gotten into Beth recently. She\u2019s so bad\u2013tempered-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, Noah interrupted her. \u201cElla, you shouldn\u2019t have talked to her like that. If she\u2019s fighting with the family, she\u2019s probably more upset than you are. Besides, there was nothing between me and her. You misunderstood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella was stunned to hear this. She didn\u2019t expect Noah to defend Bethany. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Noah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s eyes darkened. \u201cYou should be apologizing to her, not me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bethany had no idea that Noah was speaking up for her for the first time ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All she felt was a heavy weight in her chest. She didn\u2019t want to see them or maintain any so\u2013called peace, even if just for optics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly cautiously walked beside Bethany. When the latter stopped, she tentatively asked, \u201cBeth, are you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany took a deep breath and turned to Holly. \u201cHols, there\u2019s something I\u2019ve been hiding from you. Noah and I were in a secret relationship for three years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly\u2019s heart skipped a beat, and her mouth fell open in shock. She had never thought to put those two together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember last month when you called me about him having a girlfriend?\u201d Bethany let out a bitter laugh before adding,\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when I found out I was cheated on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you\u2019re probably wondering about my relationship with Ella. She\u2019s my mom\u2019s stepdaughter from her remarriage\u2014her husband\u2019s child. My mom has always favored Ella over me, but that\u2019s fine. I don\u2019t expect her love anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth\u2026\u201d Holly\u2019s eyes watered. Just hearing bits of this told her how much pain Bethany had been holding in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t know about your relationship with Uncle Noah. If I\u2019d known, I never would\u2019ve made so many stupid\u00a0<\/p>\n
mistakes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly recalled how many times she had dragged Bethany into gatherings where Noah and Ella were present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It must have been painful for Bethany to watch them act so close to each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The worst incident had been the last camping trip. Ella and Noah had clearly teamed up against Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly felt so stupid now. If Bethany hadn\u2019t told her about it today, she\u2019d still be in the dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, scold me and hit me all you want. I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d Holly was almost pleading now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled softly. \u201cSilly, why would I hit you? You didn\u2019t know anything. Besides, it\u2019s my fault for not telling you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly hugged her tightly. \u201cBeth, if you want to cry, you can always lean on my shoulder.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

If this had happened to Holly, she would\u2019ve cried her eyes out many times over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Bethany only smiled. \u201cI\u2019m fine. I stopped feeling sad about it a long time ago. Oh, and I forgot one more thing. I\u2019m married to Silas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly\u2019s jaw dropped exaggeratedly. \u201cSilas Brennan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She remembered the man who\u2019d suddenly appeared at the last camping trip and how he\u2019d unexpectedly helped Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It all made sense now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s no wonder that Mr. Brennan helped you back then. But Beth\u2026\u201d Holly bit her lower lip. \u201cHe likes men. If you married him, wouldn\u2019t that just make you a cover?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly felt sorry for Bethany. She was such a good woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if it weren\u2019t Noah, she\u2019d eventually find someone a hundred times better than he was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
