After she watched Silas close the door, she immediately threw herself onto the bed. She hugged the blanket and shut her eyes.
Outside the room, Lucien saw Silas come out. He walked over right away and asked in a low voice, “Emma isn’t mad anymore, right?”
They all knew Emma had been angry.
Lucien had wanted to come and comfort her. However, he remembered that he had been the one who covered Emma’s eyes earlier. Right now, the person Emma probably least wanted to see was him.
So he didn’t dare come over.
After thinking it through, they all felt Silas was the most suitable person to handle it.
Silas nodded. “I already calmed her down. Emy wasn’t really angry in the first place. She just felt embarrassed.”
He warned Lucien, “Next time, watch what you say.”
t was fine to get a little jealous sometimes.
However, they couldn’t make Emma feel embarrassed.
Lucien didn’t argue.
‘I’ll pay attention,” he said.
Corvin leaned closer and asked Silas in a quiet voice, “Does Emma really not need us to stay with her tonight?”
He really wanted to stay with Emma.
‘Emy wants to sleep alone tonight,” Silas replied.
Alaric lay on the couch nearby. He heard Corvin’s question. While tapping on his lightcore, he smiled and said, “If Emma needed
omeone to stay with her, would it even be your turn tonight?”
Corvin glared at Alaric.
‘Why wouldn’t it be my turn? Emma isn’t a biased person. If you guys get something, I get it too.”
He wasn’t as good as they were at competing for attention.
However, Emma had never neglected him either.
Silas didn’t want to deal with them.
‘I still have some things to handle. You guys stay here and keep watch. I’ll come back in a bit.”
After Silas left, Jim, who had been standing quietly in the corner, followed him right away.

Silas walked to the door of his lounge. That was when he noticed Jim had followed him too.
“Do you need something from me?” Silas asked as he looked at him.
Jim didn’t speak.
Silas paused for a moment.

He knew Jim was quiet. However, he hadn’t interacted with him much before. He didn’t know just how quiet Jim could be.
When Jim didn’t speak, Silas assumed it wasn’t convenient to talk outside.
“Come inside and talk,” Silas said.
He opened the door and let Jim in.
Jim followed him inside obediently.
Silas poured him a glass of water first.
Then he said, “Since Emy asked you to stay, I won’t drive you away. You came to see me. What do you want to talk about?”
Jim took the water Silas handed him. He looked at Silas but still didn’t speak.
The room grew quiet for a moment.
Silas had always been very patient. He didn’t show any impatience because of Jim’s silence.
He sat down on the couch calmly and opened his lightcore.
‘If you haven’t figured out what to say yet, you can sit and think it over. There’s no rush. I have plenty of time.”
After hearing that, Jim obediently sat on the couch across from him.
Silas glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
He focused on handling the documents on his lightcore.
A minute passed. Then another minute went by.
Time kept moving forward.
After Silas finished handling several urgent files, Jim, who sat across from him, still hadn’t spoken.
He hadn’t even touched the water on the table.
Silas looked at him and shook his head.
The nickname “strong, silent type” really suited him.
“If you still haven’t figured out what you want to say, then I’ll keep working,” Silas said.
Jim still didn’t speak.

When Silas saw that Jim remained silent, he continued working on his tasks.
Time passed little by little.

By the time Silas finished everything he needed to do, the warship had already returned to the Empire’s territory. The first light of morning shone through the window.
Silas closed his lightcore.
He looked at Jim, who had been sitting in his room the entire night, and spoke again.
“A whole night has passed. Have you still not figured out what you want to say to me?”
It was true that Jim was quiet.
However, being quiet didn’t mean he was mute.
Silas looked at Jim and rubbed his tired forehead.
“Emy will wake up soon. If you still don’t speak, I’m going to go stay with her.”
When Jim saw Silas stand up, he stood up as well.
He had been silent the entire night.
Finally, he spoke.
