The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 165

Silas smiled silently, his gaze locking onto the distant city lights, and his voice dropped low. "The Aegis-001 Chip is my final goal."

Hearing this, Alaina frowned at him.

She didn't overthink it, but the phrasing struck her as odd.

She figured once the project was done, he'd probably just get another major promotion.

By the time they returned to The Summers Estate, it was already late.

Mrs. Gable asked her to check on Aunt Rosemary, mentioning that the older woman's back pain was flaring up.

Silas intended to go with her, but an urgent call regarding official business forced him to leave immediately.

Alaina followed Mrs. Gable, only to be led straight into the family's private chapel.

"Aunt Rosemary, she is here," Mrs. Gable announced.

Aunt Rosemary rose from her kneeling cushion and reached out to Alaina.

Alaina hurried over to support her. "With your back hurting, why are you still on the floor?"

Aunt Rosemary smiled, shaking her head. She led Alaina to a nearby chair. "My back is fine, sweetheart."

Alaina knew Aunt Rosemary was likely upset with her and spoke up proactively. "I'm sorry, Aunt Rosemary. I've disappointed you."

Aunt Rosemary looked at her, shook her head, and sighed. "It's all destined. I don't blame you. In fact, I'm grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Silas might never have married at all."

Alaina didn't know what to say to that.

"Since things have turned out this way, I've thought it over carefully and decided to be honest with you," Aunt Rosemary said, her tone grave. "Our family has always harbored a secret."

"The reason I pushed so hard for Silas to marry and have a child is because of this secret."

Alaina's chest tightened. She sat up a little straighter, waiting in quiet anticipation.
