Nora smiled faintly. She explained, \u201cMy parents both speak the language. Hearing it all the time growing up, it\u2019s natural that I don\u2019t have an accent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After asking around, Bethany was certain that no matter how alike she looked, Nora could not possibly be Evan\u2019s mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, no mother would ever fail to recognize their own child. And Nora\u2019s reactions did not seem rehearsed in the slightest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That afternoon, Bethany received a call from Jeremy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeremy,\u201d she greeted him, still feeling a familiar tension whenever she spoke to her father\u2013in\u00a0<\/p>\n
-law.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She worried that the carefully maintained facade of her marriage with Silas might be exposed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth,\u201d Jeremy said, sighing. \u201cEvan has been clamoring about running away from home. Since he likes you so much, would you mind letting him stay at your place for a few days?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany paused briefly, then smiled. \u201cOf course not. He can stay for a few days. It\u2019s just that Jane might not be able to manage on her own. Perhaps the one who usually looks after Evan could come along?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood, good. That\u2019s perfect. Let him stay for a week. After that, I\u2019ll have his father pick him up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany readily agreed. She had offered to pick Evan up herself, but Jeremy insisted on bringing him over personally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before leaving, Evan made a face at Julian on the couch, then followed Jeremy out with his head held high.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian could only shake his head helplessly and call Silas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Jeremy arrived at Bethany and Silas\u2018 home, he exchanged a knowing look with Jane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taking the hint, Jane asked cheerfully, \u201cEvan, which room would you like to stay in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At six years old, Evan could already sleep alone at night, though the nanny usually stayed in the adjacent room for convenience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pointed decisively to Bethany\u2019s bedroom. \u201cI\u2019ll stay here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coincidentally, the guest room next door was empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jane said, \u201cAlright. I\u2019ll stay here, and you\u2019ll be right next door to each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing the clothes hanging at the foot of the bed, Evan protested, \u201cGrandpa, someone\u2019s already using this room!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine.\u201d Jeremy waved it off. \u201cThose belong to Bethany. I\u2019ll have Jane call her. She\u2019ll agree to let you stay here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane quietly flashed an \u201cokay\u201d sign, and Jeremy looked rather pleased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed the issue of Silas and Bethany sleeping in separate rooms had been neatly resolved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Bethany returned from work and saw that all her belongings had been moved into the master bedroom, she felt as though her world had collapsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cJane, what happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane smiled awkwardly. \u201cMrs. Brennan, this was Mr. Brennan Senior\u2019s instruction. I told him it was your dressing room since I couldn\u2019t say that you and Mr. Brennan sleep separately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd with Evan here, he\u2019s clever enough to notice. If he found out, he\u2019d definitely tell Mr.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brennan Senior.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany gave a dry laugh. \u201cI understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Silas hadn\u2019t come home yet due to a social gathering. Otherwise, she would have been mortified beyond measure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After washing up, she glanced at the wide bed and chose the inner side, turning off the lights at 9:30 pm. She forced herself to sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Silas came back after she was already asleep, at least she wouldn\u2019t have to face the\u00a0<\/p>\n
awkwardness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just before 11:00 pm, Silas entered the room and noticed a figure on the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression darkened as he approached quietly. Bethany slept on her side, unaware, slipped shoulder strap rising and falling gently in the dim light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His throat tightened. Then, he turned and stepped into the shower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
her\u00a0<\/p>\n
He emerged quickly, his body still warm with steam, and slipped into bed behind her. From this close, he caught the faint scent of her hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wrapped an arm around Bethany and drew her into his embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She murmured softly in her sleep and instinctively pressed closer to his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leaning in, his lips nearly brushing her neck, he let out a low, amused breath. \u201cDarling, this time, you\u2019re the one who initiated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
