Chapter 129\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stayed in her room for a long time to let the flush on her cheeks subside. She didn\u2019t come out until Jane knocked on the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, dinner is ready. It\u2019ll get cold if you don\u2019t eat now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane had worked at the Brennan residence for a long time, and she put a lot of effort into looking after the newlyweds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had seen Silas sitting in the living room, staring at his phone. He refused to go over to the dining table, so she knew he was waiting for Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t understand why both of them always had to be so awkward with each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she knew one thing\u2013Silas cared a lot about Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany knew she would have to face Silas sooner or later. She could hide for now, but she\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t hide forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sighed softly. \u201cI\u2019m coming.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The steam in the bathroom had long since dissipated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After splashing some cold water on her face, she dried off with a face towel and opened the\u00a0<\/p>\n
door to go\u00a0<\/p>\n
downstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas had just sat down at the dining table. His dark eyes stared at her intently. \u201cDid you get some rest?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany nodded slightly and responded faintly, \u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two ate in silence for a while before Silas spoke up. \u201cDid you see the press conference this\u00a0<\/p>\n
afternoon?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had beaten her to the punch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany kept her head down. Her pale fingertips gripped her fork gently as she pushed the pasta around on her plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw it.\u201d She suddenly looked up. \u201cWhy did you say that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That question had been weighing on her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did he target Ella and call her an attention\u2013seeker? It seemed like he was venting on Bethany\u2019s behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 129\u00a0<\/p>\n

And why did he say he was afraid she would get jealous?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was he saying those things for the public, or was he saying them for her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The light in Silas\u2018 dark eyes slowly faded into a cold gloom. \u201cNo reason. You don\u2019t think I said it for you, do you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany froze for a moment, but then a look of relief appeared on her face. It made Silas\u2018 eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
turn even darker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 voice returned to its usual teasing tone. \u201cI didn\u2019t say it for you. Dad is suspicious by nature, so I was afraid he would think our relationship was on the rocks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused meaningfully for a second and then scoffed lightly. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me you actually thought I did it for you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s heart jolted, and she denied it immediately. \u201cI didn\u2019t!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was so agitated that her voice rose, trembling slightly toward the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how she said it, she sounded guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was annoyed at her own clumsiness. From the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught sight of the incredibly clear tattoo below Silas\u2018 collarbone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was wearing a bathrobe with the collar slightly open. She hadn\u2019t noticed it before, but the tattoo was exceptionally conspicuous now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a tattoo with the letters O and B.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She naturally assumed the O stood for Oscar. But what about the B?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s gaze grew complicated. She hadn\u2019t expected Silas to be so devoted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had watched Oscar go through one boyfriend after another, yet he still tattooed Oscar\u2019s name right near his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oscar really was the one he couldn\u2019t have but cared about the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t quite describe her own emotions. There was a sense of loss but also a trace of\u00a0<\/p>\n
relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She thought this was better. She and Silas were still in a peaceful contractual relationship, and she could stick to her original plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas narrowed his eyes. He didn\u2019t miss the shift in her expression. It seemed she really believed his lame excuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 129\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his head and shook it slightly. Then he changed the subject without skipping a beat. \u201cAre you going to see your grandmother tomorrow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Bethany was surprised. \u201cAre you coming with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
