Chapter 79\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOr do you not have anyone to phone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s lips twitched almost imperceptibly. \u201cThere\u2019s no need to concern yourself with my affairs, Mr. Brennan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Within ten minutes, the private room was filled with beautiful women. Some looked fresh and innocent, others elegant and refined, and still others sultry and glamorous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas casually pulled out his phone, pretending to scroll while secretly recording the entire scene. The camera finally settled on Noah, where a fresh\u2013faced college student had positioned herself close to him, all soft smiles and shy glances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas saved the video with satisfaction, a smile curling at his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah frowned at the woman who had suddenly appeared at his side. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to keep me company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then glanced coldly at the man sitting alone across from them. \u201cSit with Mr. Brennan instead. He\u2019s the one facing you.\u201d Silas overheard his words and clicked his tongue lightly. \u201cThere\u2019s no need to send anyone my way. I prefer men, after all.\u201d Seeing the young woman beside him on the verge of tears, Noah relented and let her stay. \u201cDon\u2019t worry about me. Just eat.\u201d The rest of the dinner proceeded smoothly enough without any major incidents. Still, everyone could tell Silas wasn\u2019t particularly interested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He toyed with a lighter in his hand, and when someone moved to light a cigarette for him, he waved them off with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve quit smoking. I only carry the lighter out of habit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone laughed at that. It was the first time they\u2019d heard of someone playing with a lighter to satisfy a craving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing him mention quitting smoking, Noah raised an eyebrow, his gaze scrutinizing. Something felt different about Silas today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People in their circle didn\u2019t suddenly quit vices unless there were health reasons. Unless, of course, he\u2019d quit smoking for someone?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking of Silas\u2018 preferences, Noah smiled faintly and shifted his attention elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Silas tapped away at his phone. About six miles away, a woman jolted awake at the buzzing vibration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany groggily rubbed her eyes and reached for her phone. When she unlocked the screen, she found a video from Silas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first time she played it, she didn\u2019t quite catch everything. Then, his message appeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Brennan, aren\u2019t I being good? Everyone brought a female companion, but I\u2019m the only one staying pure and virtuous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany replayed the video and finally spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure enough, sitting beside Noah was a pretty, innocent\u2013looking young woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany laughed softly. She couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that Silas had sent this to her on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s childish behavior lifted her previously sour mood. She typed out her reply carefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVery good, indeed. Though if you were to bring anyone, shouldn\u2019t it be a male companion, Mr. Brennan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After sending that response, Bethany rolled over and went back to sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas read her response, pressed his tongue against his back teeth, and smiled faintly. He stood and left the table, heading straight for the parking garage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dinner was too dull. Nothing compared to having his wife around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Silas arrived home, he found Bethany\u2019s door closed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane spoke gently. \u201cMr. Brennan, Mrs. Brennan came home this afternoon and has been sleeping since. She messaged me saying she didn\u2019t need dinner, but I think something\u2019s wrong. Her eyes were red when she got back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 brow furrowed. Had she been crying? Who made her cry?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He strode toward Bethany\u2019s bedroom. \u201cBethany, are you in there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first time he called, there was no response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas knocked harder the second time. \u201cBethany? I need you to look at something. If you\u2019re awake, could you open the door\u00a0<\/p>\n
for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Woken again, Bethany climbed out of bed with tousled hair and an irritated expression, then opened the door. Her brows drew together. \u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 eyes widened. He stared at her swollen, red cheek, his voice dropping to ice. \u201cWho hit you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
