Willow spoke slowly, her voice perfectly even. "She is Julian's adopted sister, the Sinclair family's ward, and practically his partner. They've been together for years, sharing a bed, and they even have a child together in secret. I am currently divorcing Julian."
As Willow laid out the twisted reality word by word, her mind was entirely anchored in the messy past, completely oblivious to the drastic shift in the man sitting beside her.
Silas hadn't absorbed a single detail of the Sinclair family's absurd drama. Other people's romantic entanglements meant absolutely nothing to him. But the moment the word "divorcing" hit his ears, it hijacked his entire being.
The air in the room seemed to freeze. A rush of pure heat surged straight to his head, his chest heaving as his temples pounded uncontrollably. His dark, fathomless eyes lit up with startling intensity. He stared fixedly at Willow, subconsciously holding his breath, terrified he had misheard her.
She... was divorcing Julian?
"You... are getting a divorce from Julian?" Silas forced himself to suppress his overwhelming emotions, his voice tight and raspy as he asked for confirmation.
Willow heard him and gave a small nod. "Yes."
With that final confirmation, every ounce of his lingering anxiety evaporated, replaced by an earth-shattering wave of ecstasy. Silas completely lost his ironclad self-control. "Good! That is absolutely wonderful!"
Hearing this, Willow looked up in sheer bewilderment. It was the first time she had ever seen this normally stoic, unreadable man display such explosive emotion.
And honestly, she didn't quite understand why he was so happy.
Catching her stunned expression, Silas snapped back to reality. He suddenly remembered that Julian was the man she had loved for years. Even if they were getting a divorce, she was likely still hurting.
