The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713
When the passenger window of the car was lowered halfway, a good-looking face was revealed. Despite the dim streetlight, Harper could still recognize who he was.
Stunned for a few seconds, she hurriedly over in her high heels and grew certain that it was him when she got nearer.
“Silas.”
With a trembling voice, she called out his name.
The man inside the car slowly curled his lips into a smile, “Hi,
Harper.”
As she had not heard him call out her name for a long time, Harper’s eyes turned sad suddenly, “What brings you here?”
These few days, she had tried to call him, but he either switched off his phone or did not pick up her calls. She also tried to look for him in the Wolverly Capital, but he refused to
see her.
Doing so, he seemed to be wanting to sever ties with them, so much so that he no longer recognized her as his sister…
She thought that she would lose him for good and did not expect to see him showing up on the day Griffon proposed to Taya.
Harper wondered if Silas had been following their news, although he never came to bother them.
Silas extended his fingers to catch the snowf lakes outside, and his clear eyes were filled with melancholy.
After staring at the sno wflakes for a while, he replied, “I was passing by as I saw the nice view here, so I stopped to take a look.”
“Passing by?” Harper wondered inwardly, “Who would pass by a place so far away from the city and has just been developed not long ago?”
Harper did not believe him but chose not to expose his lie. With her eyes red-rimmed, she asked, “I heard you’re getting engaged to the eldest daughter of the Cooke pack?”
Silas touched the melting snowfl akes in his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up bitterly, “Yes, I am…”
The smile on his face was forced and devoid of any joy, and Harper felt bad for him, “You’re not doing this just so that Taya would choose to be with Griffon, aren’t you?”
Silas shook his head slightly and dropped his bitter smile, trying to look casual, “I’m doing this for myself.”
Seeing him so, Harper was unable to tell what he was thinking and could only choose to believe him, “I wish you happiness then.”
Silas clenched his hand slightly and lowered his gaze in anguish.
“Harper, I’ll never be happy again…” He wanted to tell her.
He looked at Gmissta through the windshield, and his gloomy eyes gradually turned red, “Can you take me inside to have a look?”
Harper followed his line of sight and looked in the direction of Gmissta. Thinking that bringing him inside would upset him, she wanted to refuse, but Silas said, “I just saw him carry her out from inside, and they were wearing happy smiles.”
He looked at Harper with a smile, “I wanted to take a look inside. Perhaps I could come out happily as well.”
Knowing that Silas was still hung up on Taya, Harper was unable to hold back her tears.
With tears in her eyes, she nodded, “Okay, I’ll bring you inside.”
Silas replied politely, “Sorry to trouble you.”
Harper turned away to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The three of them had depended on each other since pup period, but they had become like strangers, so much so that she felt they might not meet again for the rest of their lives…
Getting out from the back seat, Camille took out the wheelchair from the trunk, then opened the car door, carried Silas out of the car, and put him in the wheelchair.
Seeing that he had to rely on someone else to move around, Harper could not stop shedding tears, “Could your legs be
cured?”
“He’s a prideful person. Is he going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?” Harper couldn’t accept such a truth.
Silas nonchalantly touched his unfeeling legs, “No, but it’s okay. I’m used to it now.”
Harper cried and wanted to say something, but he took
the umbrella from Camille and handed it to her. “Life is
unpredictable, and I’ve achieved more than enough. Losing my legs is not a big deal, so please don’t feel sorry for me.”
His calmness made Harper feel even worse, but she suppressed her sadness and reached out to take the
Harper was unable to push the wheelchair in the snow, so she
let Camille do it while she shielded Silas from the snow with
the umbrella.
