Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 549

The very second that thought popped into her head, Vivienne almost couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud.

It was absolutely absurd.

He was the man in charge of Merit Biotech, standing at the absolute peak of wealth and status, holding unimaginable power in the palm of his hand. What kind of woman couldn't he have? Why on earth would someone of his monumental stature resort to the tactics of commoners—hiding his feelings and nursing a secret crush?

Was he just stupid, or just terribly repressed?

But her amusement was painfully short-lived. The smile barely touched the corners of her lips before it completely died, refusing to reach her eyes. She couldn't laugh anymore, because she had suddenly realized the underlying truth.

For an untouchable man like Silas to willingly hide his edge, quietly waiting in the wings, never uttering a word of his desires, and willingly maintaining a secret crush... there could only be one reason. He wasn't just playing around. He genuinely loved Willow.

It was clearly a love so profound, so intensely deep, that he was too careful to even risk startling her.

This realization felt like a bucket of ice water being dumped over Vivienne's head, instantly freezing whatever fleeting good mood she had managed to scrape together.

Looking at Willow standing before her, still looking aloof and clearly entirely oblivious to everything, a tidal wave of crushing bitterness and jealousy rose in Vivienne's chest.
