Martha trusted her daughter completely. She had always known Willow was responsible and handled her own battles without ever asking for help. But her independence only made Martha's heart ache more. Unable to physically assist with the divorce, Martha could only offer guidance based on what she observed.
"And what are your plans once the divorce with Julian is finalized?"
Willow instinctively shied away from the question. She honestly hadn't thought that far ahead. Silas was in love with someone else, and based on his own words, it sounded like he'd be with that woman very soon.
Even though there were no crossed lines between her and Silas right now, she knew she would eventually need to establish boundaries. "I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. Focusing on my career."
Willow tried to play it cool, but Martha saw right through her. "I think Silas is a wonderful man," she stated bluntly. "While you were out of town, he regularly had fresh flowers and premium supplements sent to my room—all specifically tailored for my post-op recovery. On top of that, he checked in on me constantly via text, asking about my vitals, my appetite, and my sleep. He is incredibly thoughtful and leaves no detail overlooked."
Willow was totally floored. She had absolutely no idea. Silas hadn't mentioned a word of this to her, and she didn't even know when he had added her mother's number.
"I didn't know... he never told me he was doing all that."
Seeing her daughter's shocked expression, Martha offered a soft, knowing sigh. "Silly girl, he didn't tell you because he wasn't looking for a reward. He is genuinely looking out for you and taking care of the people you love."
"I've lived a long time, and I know how to read people. That man is grounded, reliable, attentive, and deeply ambitious. He truly cares about you. He is the exact opposite of a selfish, cold-blooded man like Julian."
