Chapter 189 A Telltale Mark

Madeline pressed further, “How’s the divorce coming along with her?”

Silas hesitated for only a few seconds, but that was enough for Madeline’s patience to snap.

“If you keep stalling, I might as well draw up the will today and leave everything to Leo.

“And don’t worry about Leo being too young. There’s still Felicity. And if that’s not enough, there’s Felicity’s father. With his backing, the Vance family won’t crumble.”

Theodore…

At the mention of that name, Silas’ icy gaze flickered over Felicity.

Felicity’s heart dropped. She jumped in quickly, her voice anxious.

“Grandma, Dad would never interfere in Vance family matters. Silas is your firstborn grandson-naturally he should take over the business.”

Madeline shot a sidelong glance at Silas.

“It’s just that some people…”

“Grandma,” Silas cut in, having heard enough. “I spoke with her today. We’re filing the divorce online tomorrow. The papers are already signed, neither side has any objections-it’s just a formality now. We’ll have the final decree soon.”

Only then did Madeline give a satisfied nod.

“Good. I’ll be waiting to see that divorce certificate.”

Silas retreated to his room.

Felicity followed him inside.

So much had happened in a single day. A dull headache throbbed behind Silas’ temples, and his irritation was mounting.

His tone came out sharper than intended.

“Go keep Leo company. I need some time alone.”

Instead of leaving, Felicity wrapped her arms around him.

“Don’t take Grandma’s words to heart. She was just trying to pressure you. My father would never get involved in Vance affairs-he’s swamped running his own corporation.

“So please, Silas, don’t read too much into it or misunderstand, okay?”

For some reason. Silas felt a faint recoil at her embrace.

Chapter 189 A Telltale Mark

What was wrong with him?

Wasn’t this exactly what he used to love? Felicity being soft and vulnerable like this?

He used to love how she clung to him, how she turned to him for everything.

It was so much better than that dull, unresponsive woman he’d married.

So why did it feel different now?

Why was he liking it less and less?

Instead, he…

Silas mentally cursed himself.

What the hell is wrong with you, Silas?

Felicity wasn’t blind-she could sense his withdrawal.

A wave of loneliness washed over her.

“Silas…”

As she spoke, her eyes caught a mark on Silas’ ear.

And his clothes carried a trace of perfume-definitely not hers.

Felicity’s chest tightened.

But she chose her words carefully.

“Silas, what happened to your ear?”

Silas paused almost imperceptibly.

“Scratched it by accident.”

By accident?

That looked more like a bite mark.

And that scent wasn’t anything she wore.

Felicity bit down hard on her lip. Her chest ached with a dull, heavy pain.

Silas shrugged off his jacket and tossed it onto the sofa.

A small box tumbled from his pocket.

His eyes flickered, and he was about to speak…

But Felicity spotted it first.

“Silas, what’s that?”

Silas kept his expression neutral.

“Picked it out for you. Was going to surprise you, but then all the drama with Grandma ruined the

moment.”

Felicity’s face lit up despite herself.

“Really? For me?”

Silas forced patience and spun the story on the spot.

“Come on, who else would it be for?”

The words slipped out before Felicity could stop them. “You saw her today. I thought maybe you’d bought it for her.”

The remark brought back a rush of unpleasant memories for Silas.

“She doesn’t deserve it.”

Just like that, Felicity’s doubts and hurt melted away.

She opened the box and lifted out a diamond bracelet.

“It’s gorgeous. Silas, put it on me?”

Reluctantly, Silas fastened it around her wrist.

Once it was on, Felicity rose on her toes and kissed him passionately.

Silas’ lips stayed still.

But his mind flashed back to the feel of Jasmine’s cheek in the car earlier.

That woman really did have soft skin.

Seeing that Silas hadn’t pulled away, Felicity grew bolder. Her hands moved to the buttons of his shirt.

“Silas, I’m ready…”
