Rose was truly obstinate, and she was getting on Silas’ nerves.

Frustration flickered across Silas’ face, reddening his face. He took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure.

Rose averted her gaze and turned to leave as she said, “My assistant mentioned you were here to collect Dr. Lovelace’s suit. You’re here on Lyse’s order because she is occupied, right? My assistant is packing it now. You can head home after that. I’m exhausted and in need of some rest.”

“That’s not all. There’s one more thing.” Silas’ voice, now icy, came from behind her. “You still have my badge, don’t you? I have an important meeting to attend, and everyone is required to wear their badges. Please return it to me.”

Rose’s body stiffened, feeling as though a sharp ice blade had pierced her heart, plunging her into agony.

“Okay,” she complied, her trembling hand slipping into the pocket of her coat. Slowly, she extracted the badge, gripping it tightly in her palm, then turned around.

At that moment, Silas gazed at her gloomily, extending his hand toward her.

Rose pressed her lips together into a thin line as she placed the badge in his palm. Just as she attempted to retract her hand, Silas seized it, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.

Caught off guard, Rose collided with Silas’ chest. He couldn’t resist holding the small of her back, sealing her lips fiercely with a fiery kiss. Deepening the embrace, a sense of possessiveness lingered between their entwined lips.

Rose’s thoughts scattered, and her mind seemingly zapped. She responded to his passion, wrapping her arms around him and returning the kiss with equal fervor.

After what felt like an eternity of kissing, Silas reluctantly pulled away, holding her chin gently with his fingertips as he smiled. “You were so pale earlier. Did I frighten you? Were you afraid I was truly going to leave? That I truly desired it back?”

“No,” Rose croaked, tears glistening in her eyes. “When did you become so confident? Did you learn from Lyse to be this bold?”

Silas sighed affectionately and helplessly, enveloping her in his embrace. “Extraordinary… who cares? It wouldn’t matter to me. You’re the one I want in my life. You’re the best thing a man could ever wish for.”

At that moment, Silas’ unwavering determination shattered all of Rose’s doubts and hesitations.

“Rosie, be my girlfriend.”

Silas’ eyes sparkled with genuine sincerity. “Let me be the one to love you, to cherish you, to hold you safe. Let me help you rediscover what you deserve. Please, Rose, give me a chance.”

Silas ran out of romantic things to say. These few sentences marked the extent of his eloquence.

Rose could no longer contain the storm of emotions within her. With tears flowing down her face, she gave a gentle nod.

With that, Silas’ world lit up. He tenderly stroked her nape once more before pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss.

Alyssa was stuck handling work matters with Jonah, which meant she couldn’t meet Rose in Solana City. So, she tasked Silas with picking up the suit.

While retrieving the suit was important, her main motive was to create an opportunity for Silas and Rose to meet.

Even if there were a spark between them, their current situation wouldn’t allow them to see each other. How could their relationship possibly blossom under these circumstances?

Alyssa spent the entire day buried in project plans, deciphering information on the group’s executives and their current financial situation. Jeremy assisted her, but the sheer volume of work left her exhausted. Her head spun, and her back ached.

“Phew, I’m beat,” she sighed, collapsing weakly into Jeremy’s arms like a robot running low on power. “Why is there so much to do? No one in their right mind could handle Jonah’s workload.”

“Second thoughts already?” Jeremy chuckled softly, gently massaging her temples. “Just a friendly warning from someone with experience. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you take over, you’ll be facing a mountain of issues, even more than you’re dealing with now.”

“Regret?” Alyssa scoffed, lifting her chin. “That word doesn’t exist in my vocabulary. Just watch me. I’ll not only get the job done, but I’ll excel at it. Remember KS World Hotel? I promised to run it better than Berenike, and I did, didn’t I? My achievements speak for themselves.”

Jeremy, clearly charmed by her confident spirit, planted a kiss on her forehead. “There’s no one quite like you, Lyse. You’re the best, the queen bee. Why don’t I just hand Berenike Hotel over to you? You’d breathe new life into it.”

“Hmm… I don’t think so,” Alyssa replied thoughtfully. “I know you’re estranged from your father, but let’s not push it too far.”

Alyssa waved dismissively. “If I take the hotel, it would definitely strain your relationship with your father. I wouldn’t want that on my conscience.”

Jeremy ran a hand over her head, torn between amusement and exasperation.

“Any news from Silas? Did he meet Rose yet?” Alyssa’s voice bubbled with excitement. “Don’t tell me they succumbed to their desires and got busy with some ‘adult activities.'” She squirmed playfully in his arms.

Jeremy, however, took her inappropriate thoughts seriously. “In broad daylight? Highly unlikely. Besides, it’s Silas’ first date. Doubt he’d be that… bold, would he?”

“Oh, Silas is plenty daring,” Alyssa countered. “It’s that stuffy prosecutor uniform that’s holding back his wild side.”

With a playful grin, she flipped them over, pinning him beneath her. Her fingertip teased his Adam’s apple. “Besides, who says broad daylight matters? As long as a guy knows his surroundings when he’s turned on, right? Can men even tell time down there?”

Jeremy swallowed hard, his gaze deepening. Deeply smitten, he interpreted Alyssa’s words as a clear invitation. His hand, seemingly of its own accord, began a slow ascent up her thigh.

The burgeoning sexual tension was abruptly shattered by the shrill ring of Alyssa’s phone.

She answered, draping her arm around his neck. “Silas, finally! Did you meet Rose?”

“Lyse, get Jeremy and come outside. We’re right here.”

Walking out of Heightsnew Villa, hand-in-hand, their eyes widened in shock at the sight before them.

Under the scorching sun, Silas tenderly held Rose close, their lips meeting in a fervent kiss, oblivious to everything around them.

Alyssa couldn’t contain her excitement and let out a joyful shriek.

Alyssa’s shrieks shattered the tender moment. Rose, flushed crimson, immediately pushed Silas away.

Feeling Alyssa’s hand quiver with excitement, Jeremy gave it a squeeze. “Calm down. Seems you’ve startled Rose a bit.”

“I can’t help it! A new sister-in-law!” Alyssa squealed as she punched Jeremy’s chest playfully.

Silas was not shy at all. He strolled toward them, hand in hand with Rose.

“Lyse, let me formally introduce her.” He turned to Rose, his gaze lingering with affection. “This is your brand new sister-in-law, Rose Emerson.”

Rose’s cheeks, already rosy, deepened to a breathtaking crimson. “I-I’m not quite sure about that,” she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.

Undeterred, Alyssa beamed. “Hi, Rose! Your official sister-in-law, reporting for duty!” she declared with a mock salute.

Jeremy, quick to respond, said, “Hello, my dearest sister-in-law, and congratulations, Silas! Lyse and I will be eagerly awaiting our wedding invitation.”

Silas grinned, pointing at Jeremy in approval. “You’re quite the rascal,” he chuckled.

In that instant, Silas found himself growing more accepting of Jeremy as his brother-in-law.

Rose, feeling flustered, couldn’t lift her gaze. “Madam, please, stop teasing me,” she murmured.

Alyssa interjected with a grin, “I’ve told you, Rose, you’re bound to be my sister-in-law eventually. Resistance is futile.”

With a happy clap of her hands, Alyssa exclaimed, “Ah, first Jonah finds love, and now Silas too. I must share this news with Winston tonight; it’ll surely lift his spirits and improve his health.”

Silas tightened his grip on Rose’s hand, his tone earnest as he spoke. “I’ll personally inform Dad. It’s a gesture of sincerity and respect toward Rose.”

Rose felt her eyes welling up with tears at his words.

Everyone admired her talent, but she felt her personality held her back. Despite her gifts, most people didn’t quite hold her in high regard.

Apart from Alyssa, Silas was the second person who loved and respected her. She never knew someone like her could be loved too.

Being loved was such a happy feeling.

“Since you’re here, give a tour of our house to Rose, Silas,” Alyssa chirped. She couldn’t wait to introduce Rose to everyone in her family.

“Not today, Lyse.” Silas knew he just won over Rose’s heart, so he wanted to be careful and take things slow. She would feel pressured if things moved too fast.

He elaborated, “Rose and I came to see you because Rose has something important to tell you.”

Dinnertime arrived, and the four of them were famished. To celebrate Silas and Rose’s newfound romance, they decided to visit Belbanks’ most renowned local restaurant.

Jeremy took the wheel while Alyssa sat next to him in the front passenger seat. They allowed Silas and Rose to claim the backseat. After all, they just got together. It was understandable that they would be all over each other.

Alyssa and Jeremy, however, couldn’t help but avoid the rearview mirror. The only sounds reaching them were occasional smacks.

“Ouch, Rosie,” Silas winced, rubbing his hand. “Can you be a little lighter? I am your husband, you know.” His playful tone made it clear he wasn’t bothered by their audience.

Despite the playful pain, his affection was evident.

“Whose permission did you think you had to let your hands wander like that? Quite bold of you, isn’t it?”

Silas tightened his embrace around Rose’s waist, sending a warm flush creeping up her cheeks. As Rose nestled against his chest, a wave of captivation washed over him, deeper than before.
