I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 346

Sienna felt thoroughly rattled by Silas's abrupt call.

"Let's talk about it later. I have to be up early tomorrow, I'm going to sleep."

She retreated to her bedroom, letting out a heavy sigh.

When she and Silas were just boss and employee, everything was straightforward and healthy.

But now, their relationship was a tangled, exhausting mess.

Out in the living room, Noah couldn't let the maintenance issue go. He discreetly texted Finn, detailing exactly what he had overheard the workers whispering about.

Early the next morning, Sienna arrived at the airport to pick up Silas.

She stood by the arrivals gate, watching him walk out.

He wore an unbuttoned charcoal coat over a light-colored shirt.

The morning light streamed through the massive glass windows, illuminating his shoulders, highlighting his effortless, aristocratic grace.

There was no trace of exhaustion from the red-eye flight.

When Silas spotted Sienna, a warm smile instantly broke through his usual stoic expression.

He quickened his pace, pulled her into a confident embrace, and murmured against her ear.

"I missed you."

Sienna stiffened slightly.

She was still on edge from him hanging up on her last night, unsure of what mood he would be in today.

To her surprise, he acted as if nothing had happened.

Silas seamlessly grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers.

He led her toward the exit, his tone light and conversational.

"We finally closed the deal on Birchwood Global. A month of negotiations, and it's officially ours."

Sienna listened quietly. Though she didn't grasp the corporate logistics, she felt genuinely happy for his success.

It was a surreal dynamic—like a husband returning from a business trip, summarizing his triumphs to his wife.

"I know how much your career matters to you." Silas kept his voice low, but every syllable carried weight. "Don't worry. I'll use every resource at my disposal to pave the way for you. You can do whatever you want to do." He locked eyes with her, his gaze intense. "Sienna, you need to understand that in this world, I am the only man who can provide this much for you."

Sienna's fingers twitched.

She understood the subtext perfectly.

From the moment he got in the car, Silas had been subtly reminding her of all the lucrative benefits of being with him.

It felt desperate, as if he were terrified she was going to bolt.

"You really don't have to pull strings for me," Sienna replied softly.

Silas's expression didn't waver. He simply kept talking.

"You're a smart girl. You know what's best for your future." He refused to loosen his grip on her hand. "I already treat you exceptionally well—better than I ever thought I could."

He paused, seemingly searching for the right words. "So, do you think you could be a little warmer toward me? Like a real girlfriend? Maybe even..."

He trailed off, thinking.

"Be a little more clingy?"
