\u201cNo.\u201d Silas calmly picked out the cilantro in Bethany\u2019s dish. \u201cGary came to me asking for peace. I only said a few words to\u00a0<\/p>\n
him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s intuition told her that things weren\u2019t so simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you do to Reid Group?\u201d she asked tentatively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 tone was flat. \u201cNothing much. I just took a piece of land he\u2019d had his heart set on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was rendered speechless. She didn\u2019t dare ask how much that piece of land was worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That said, she couldn\u2019t help asking, \u201cJust to stand up for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Silas smiled faintly. \u201cJust to stand up for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She really couldn\u2019t figure out what this contradictory husband of hers was thinking. She was touched, yes, but also shocked. But didn\u2019t he like men?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Brennan, why are you so good to me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas raised an eyebrow casually. \u201cYou call this good? Mrs. Brennan, straighten your spine a little. Don\u2019t embarrass me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany felt slightly moved, her eyes flickering uncertainly. \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to be polite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas stared at his buzzing phone and snorted softly. \u201cAnother mediator has come knocking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody. Don\u2019t wait for me tonight. I might be back late. And don\u2019t worry, as it\u2019s a legitimate business meeting. I won\u2019t be looking for company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, he added in a quiet tone, \u201cMale or female.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s ears turned red immediately. She wanted to bury her face in her bowl. \u201cYou\u2026 Just go!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas stared at that delicately flushed face and licked his lips. \u201cMrs. Brennan, has anyone ever told you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany looked up in confusion. \u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you blush, you look devastatingly innocent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany watched Silas\u2018 tall figure disappear into the entryway, and her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The blush lingered even as she went to wash up. She looked at her misty eyes in the mirror and murmured to herself, \u201d Innocent?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back when she was dating Noah, he\u2019d never touched her, which made Bethany somewhat insecure about herself. Unbeknownst to her, she was classically beautiful with delicate, refined features and a figure that curved in all the right places.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, she wouldn\u2019t have made Silas lose control on so many occasions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, Noah arranged the meeting, having someone invite Silas over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary had asked Noah to help mediate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Noah asked why Silas was targeting Reid Group, Gary became evasive. He didn\u2019t mention a single word about Silas and Bethany\u2019s marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas pushed the door to the private room open, one hand in his pocket, posture completely relaxed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah stood up to greet him. \u201cMr. Brennan, please come in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 lips curved in an almost imperceptible smile. \u201cI believe it\u2019s the first time you\u2019ve ever been this polite to me, Mr. Vazquez. What\u2019s the matter? Need a favor?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s tone was calm. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t call it that. My father\u2013in\u2013law has a request, and I\u2019m here to pass it along.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas unhurriedly pulled out a chair and sat down, a faint smile playing on his lips, though it didn\u2019t quite reach his eyes. \u201cOh, a favor\u2026 But Noah, do you really think you have any standing with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
