Chapter 103\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany hadn\u2019t told Silas about the matter, unwilling to owe him any more than she already did. Nor did she want to rely on this seemingly omnipotent man every time she ran into\u00a0<\/p>\n
trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pressed her lips together, deep in thought, and after a pause said quietly over the phone, Thank you. I understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the self\u2013appointed chief wingman, Oscar sensed something off in her response, though he couldn\u2019t quite explain why.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unable to sort things out on her own, Bethany pulled over and called her best friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, Holly had been about to call her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, are you alright? I went travelling a few days ago and didn\u2019t pay attention to what was happening back home,\u201d Holly said anxiously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cI\u2019ve only just landed today and realized that something so serious had\u00a0<\/p>\n
happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was Ella again, huh? What was she even trying to do? Was Uncle Noah helping her bully you again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany chuckled softly. \u201cIt\u2019s fine, Holly. Don\u2019t get so worked up. The situation was complicated, but it was ultimately resolved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been resolved?\u201d Holly had even been prepared to return home and ask her grandfather for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah might be formidable, but no matter how powerful he was, he still couldn\u2019t overrule her grandfather.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it has,\u201d Bethany replied calmly. \u201cIt was probably Silas who helped me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking of the woman who had appeared out of nowhere and the unusually swift police investigation, she suspected it was all connected to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She simply hadn\u2019t expected Oscar to be the one to tell her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, the name Silas had called out was likely Oscar\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHolly, let me ask you something,\u201d Bethany said hesitantly. \u201cIf two gay men clearly like each other, why wouldn\u2019t they be together?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 103\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
The question caught Holly off guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment\u2019s thought, she answered cautiously, \u201cMaybe\u2026 they\u2019re incompatible? You mean your husband and the person he likes aren\u2019t compatible?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIncompatible?\u201d Bethany didn\u2019t quite grasp it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Beth, I mean hypothetically,\u201d Holly explained. \u201cSay your husband prefers to be dominant, but the person he likes does too. Wouldn\u2019t they be at odds with one another? In that case, it probably isn\u2019t love. If it were, one of them would be willing to make the sacrifice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany fell silent. She suddenly seemed to understand why Silas and Oscar could never be together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But then, why had Oscar told her about it? In a way, weren\u2019t they rivals?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unable to make sense of their relationship, Bethany decided to drop the issue. \u201cHols, Silas helped me a lot this time. What do you think I should give him in return?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had already given him ties and cruise tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A watch, however, was far beyond her means. One of Silas\u2018 watches alone was worth two apartments in the city center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe doesn\u2019t lack money,\u201d Holly said thoughtfully. \u201cNo matter how expensive the gift, he might not even care. Why not give him something he genuinely likes? Do you know what he likes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany paused. \u201cI don\u2019t\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas was difficult to read. He seemed carefree yet impenetrable. It felt as though no one could truly reach his heart. Perhaps it was simply because he was guarded around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, she said, \u201cAlright. I get it. I\u2019ll look into his interests.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, right!\u201d Holly suddenly exclaimed. \u201cI remember he went to the same high school as Noah. They were both on the school basketball team\u2013and they even played a match later. Silas won! I don\u2019t know if he still plays, but haven\u2019t you heard? Some NBA stars are coming for an exhibition game. Why not get him tickets?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany lit up. \u201cThat\u2019s perfect!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She would give him two tickets again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Worried that it might be awkward for Silas to invite Oscar himself, she decided to give each of\u00a0<\/p>\n
them a ticket instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Y CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 103\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks, Holly. Love you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo big deal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
