Chapter 85\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Diana weren\u2019t Bethany\u2019s mother, Silas would have had someone hit her back just as hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alas, he was still thinking of Bethany\u2019s well\u2013being, standing up for her without crossing the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sharpness he\u2019d displayed in the private room gradually faded from his features, leaving behind a softness even he couldn\u2019t detect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slowly crouched by the bed, his gaze settling quietly on her peaceful face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany remained blissfully unaware, lost in a dream. At this moment, she licked her lips in her sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 breathing grew heavier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He held his breath and leaned in slowly. Then, a brief, feather\u2013light kiss landed on the corner of her slightly upturned lips before he pulled away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The soft warmth he felt carried her faint, sweet scent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 lips curved as his burning gaze lingered on her sleeping face, something dark and turbulent stirring in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How long would it take before she willingly fell in love with him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, Bethany stretched lazily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night, she\u2019d had a bizarre dream where Silas chased her for what felt like forever. She certainly hadn\u2019t expected to dream\u00a0<\/p>\n
about him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe it was because they\u2019d grown slightly closer recently. Bethany pressed her lips together and made a decision. Even if this was a contract marriage, she still needed to maintain the necessary distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she came to the breakfast table in her nightgown, the man glanced at his watch abruptly. \u201cMrs. Brennan, did you forget? We\u2019re supposed to leave for the cruise today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s mind went blank. She quickly checked the wall clock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crap! With everything that had been happening lately, she\u2019d completely forgotten about their plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait for me. I\u2019ll go and pack right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She started to bolt for her room, but Silas caught her wrist. \u201cThere\u2019s no rush. We\u2019ve already missed the departure time anyway. Eat breakfast first, then pack slowly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They arrived at the harbor at 10:00 am. After boarding the cruise ship, Bethany realized that this wasn\u2019t the same cruise listed on the two tickets she\u2019d given Silas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This luxury cruise was unimaginably massive. Aside from the two of them, the only other people on board were the staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas shrugged casually. \u201cOh, I discovered yesterday that the tickets you gave me had expired, so I bought a ship on short notice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chirped, \u201cHow is it? Do you like it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s eye twitched. She let out a dry laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What normal person would say something like that? Silas was obscenely rich!\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 85\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 lips curved upward. \u201cGood\u2013as long as you\u2019re happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Ella pointed excitedly at a small island. \u201cNoah, are you free tomorrow? Why don\u2019t we go there for our wedding photoshoot?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah rubbed his temples and followed the direction of her finger. \u201cIf it makes you happy, then sure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella\u2019s eyes sparkled with excitement. She wasn\u2019t just going to take the most beautiful wedding photos. She was also going to post them online for everyone to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wanted to rub her happiness in Bethany\u2019s face!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Noah\u2019s thoughts were elsewhere. He suddenly asked, \u201cElla, do you know how your father managed to provoke Silas?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella froze. \u201cMy dad provoked Silas? Silas Brennan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
