A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83

“No.” Silas calmly picked out the cilantro in Bethany’s dish. “Gary came to me asking for peace. I only said a few words to

him.”

Bethany’s intuition told her that things weren’t so simple.

“What did you do to Reid Group?” she asked tentatively.

Silas‘ tone was flat. “Nothing much. I just took a piece of land he’d had his heart set on.”

Bethany was rendered speechless. She didn’t dare ask how much that piece of land was worth.

That said, she couldn’t help asking, “Just to stand up for me?”

“Yes.” Silas smiled faintly. “Just to stand up for you.”

She really couldn’t figure out what this contradictory husband of hers was thinking. She was touched, yes, but also shocked. But didn’t he like men?

“Mr. Brennan, why are you so good to me?”

Silas raised an eyebrow casually. “You call this good? Mrs. Brennan, straighten your spine a little. Don’t embarrass me.”

Bethany felt slightly moved, her eyes flickering uncertainly. “Thank you.”

“There’s no need to be polite.”

Silas stared at his buzzing phone and snorted softly. “Another mediator has come knocking.”

“Who?”

“Nobody. Don’t wait for me tonight. I might be back late. And don’t worry, as it’s a legitimate business meeting. I won’t be looking for company.”

Suddenly, he added in a quiet tone, “Male or female.”

Bethany’s ears turned red immediately. She wanted to bury her face in her bowl. “You… Just go!”

Silas stared at that delicately flushed face and licked his lips. “Mrs. Brennan, has anyone ever told you…”

Bethany looked up in confusion. “What?”

“When you blush, you look devastatingly innocent.”

Bethany watched Silas‘ tall figure disappear into the entryway, and her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red.

The blush lingered even as she went to wash up. She looked at her misty eyes in the mirror and murmured to herself, ” Innocent?”

Back when she was dating Noah, he’d never touched her, which made Bethany somewhat insecure about herself. Unbeknownst to her, she was classically beautiful with delicate, refined features and a figure that curved in all the right places.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made Silas lose control on so many occasions.

This time, Noah arranged the meeting, having someone invite Silas over.

Gary had asked Noah to help mediate.
