The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 653

Ferris's car came to a halt once more. He sat inside, his gaze landing on me through the window, filled with a deep, lingering longing.

I grew even more frantic, grabbing Lucille's arm to drag her toward the complex.

"Where are you going? I'm the one who invited him; he's my guest! How can you chase my guest away?" However, I hadn't even taken a few steps before a loud, furious voice boomed from the distance.

Hearing that voice, my entire body went numb.

I looked up, only to see a figure storming toward Lucille and me.

It was my worst nightmare coming true. I had been terrified that Silas would see Ferris dropping me off, and by some twisted stroke of luck, he had caught us right in the act.

Silas was walking furiously, taking massive strides while roaring at the top of his lungs. "Selena, what is wrong with you? Have you lost all your basic manners? He drove you all the way here, and you aren't even going to offer him a glass of water? If word gets out, people will laugh at us for raising you so poorly!"

"Ferris, don't leave! Get out of the car, we're all going inside together!"

Silas moved fast. As he brushed past me, he shot me a vicious glare before charging straight to the front of Ferris's car, grabbing his arm, and refusing to let go. "Let's go, let's go!"

"Silas, it's been a while. You're looking healthier than ever." Ferris's face broke into a massive smile the second he saw him.

"With you around, I'm bound to only get better!" Silas's anger evaporated instantly as he grinned from ear to ear. "Let's not stand around talking out here. Come on, get out, we'll chat inside!"

Ferris didn't budge from his seat. He remained in the car, speaking directly to Silas. "It's really late tonight, Silas. Why don't we do this another time?"

But his eyes flickered in my direction, playing the part of the reluctant guest worried about upsetting me.

My fingers curled into tight fists. That sly fox!
