The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1525

Chapter 1525
When Taya fell silent, Silas flashed a carefree smile at her. “Do you come today because of my depression?” he asked softly.
She hesitated on how to respond, but Silas took the initiative to change the topic, sparing her from feeling too uncomfortable.
He didn’t actually want Taya to know, but Mr. Sherwood had somehow figured it out, so he could only accept this.
“Yeah,” Taya replied, lifting her teacup again, worry in her eyes as she looked at Silas. “I heard your depression has reached a severe stage. I want to stay and go through this difficult time with you.”
Sila s’s heart ski pped a beat as images of living together with her flashed in his mind, but that was just wishful thinking.
“Who told you I have severe depression?” He set down his
teacup and confidently met Taya’s skeptical gaze. “I’m just a little depressed, not to the point of being severe. Why would I need you to go through this suffering with me?”
He acted natural, but Taya didn’t believe him. Silas often hid
his difficulties from her, just like when he used to work at the
restaurant. She had caught him, and he lied, saying it was just to
help a friend.
carried the burden
alone and would never involve her.
Taya knew him well enough to understand the depths of his emotions beneath his calm exterior.
“Harper told me about your symptoms. Don’t lie to me anymore,”
Taya said, pushing away the phone he handed her, as if
remembering something.
“The doctor made a misdiagnosis. I haven’t had a chance to tell Harper yet. I didn’t expect you to show up so soon,” Silas said, pulling out his phone and showing Taya the number of the depression specialist.
“If you don’t believe me, call my doctor. He can’t lie to you in an unexpected situation, right?”
Who knew if he had already spoken to the doctor before knowing
she would come?
Taya furrowed her brows, pondering for a moment before
reaching out and pushing away the phone Silas offered.
“I planned to come and keep you company every day. Are you really saying you don’t need it?”
It was like giving him a long-awaited chance to spend time
together with her, how could Silas not want that?
