A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Bethany had no idea that Silas had misunderstood her.

His eyes darkened, and his lips curled into a meaningful smile. “I really like this gift. But I’m going on a business trip on Friday. I’ll be back over the weekend. We’ll go then.”

Bethany was surprised that he was considerate enough to report his schedule to her.

She smiled faintly. “Alright, you can decide the date.”

Seeing the skin he had exposed, she felt a little awkward and quickly looked for an excuse to leave his room.

Jane thought the two were getting closer, but surprisingly, Bethany was out of Silas‘ room in less than ten minutes.

The next morning, Bethany noticed Silas was already gone at breakfast.

Jane said, “Mrs. Brennan, Mr. Brennan won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. He caught an early flight this morning and asked me to inform you.”

Bethany nodded. She wasn’t really concerned about it. After all, he had already told her about his trip yesterday.

She suddenly thought of Noah.

Apparently, as long as the man wanted to, even a contractual husband could keep her in the loop about everything.

Noah, however, appeared whenever he pleased and disappeared just as freely. She shook her head, brushing away the shadow of that scumbag from her memories.

That afternoon at work, Bethany received a call from Gary. “Hey, Gary.”

This was the first time Gary had called Bethany since she became an adult.

“Beth, you haven’t been home in a long time. I remember you loved roasted chicken as a kid. How about we have a lively family dinner tonight?”

Bethany was about to refuse, but Gary quickly added, “Your mom lectured you two days ago, right? I told her to back off from your work. Don’t take it personally. She’s just blunt.”

At this point, refusing felt awkward, so Bethany replied, “Alright. I’ll be there tonight.”

She happened to have a few boxes of fruit in her car, so she brought them over as a courtesy.

When she arrived, she called over the Reid family’s butler, Davin Delaney, and ran into Leo coming home.

Leo wasn’t too fond of Bethany. He glanced disdainfully at the few boxes of cheap fruit she had Davin carry, scoffed quietly, and walked into the villa.

He remembered the shoes Bethany had given him on his 16th birthday, while Ella had gifted him his first sports car.

Even though he didn’t have his driver’s license yet, he could still brag about it to his buddies.

That pair of shoes, worth less than ten grand, had long been tossed into the storage room to gather dust.

People who lacked proper decorum would never have it, regardless of their age.

Bethany was accustomed to Leo’s attitude. Her younger brother, five years her junior, had likely never truly regarded her as a

sister.

At 20, Bethany might have cared, but at 25, she had moved on.
