Chapter 1458

Silas was retching by the restroom basin, heaving all the tequila he'd drunk out from his stomach.
His alcohol tolerance was the lowest among his siblings. Usually, he could barely manage a sip of
tequila. Yet even after Silas had retched everything out, his mind was still heavy and throat burning as if
doused with acid. "Look at yourself, Silas... Why are you still so worked up over her? She clearly doesn't care about
you at all," he mumbled to himself. Silas splashed his face with some cold water and combed his fringe back with his hands. Even in
such a dire state, he was still remarkably handsome. "I really am working myself up too much over this..." Silas gently massaged his temples, unable to
stop feeling frustrated. As he opened the door, he bumped right into someone else. "Ah!" Rose gasped. She had worn high heels that night, so her body rocked with the force and fell backward. Though Silas was still somewhat drunk, his speed was still exceptional. He swiftly wrapped an arm
around Rose and pushed her back up to her feet. Their eyes met as their bodies pressed closed against one another, flushed Silas’ breathing quickened. He recalled the deep kiss that he'd had with Rose, which started out as
CPR. Silas still hadn't gotten over that until today. Right now, he didn't want to let go of Rose. "Can you... Let me go now?" Rose looked anxious. She instinctively pressed a hand on Silas’ chest.
"Why... Why are you ignoring me?" Silas was usually a straightforward man. With the addition of the
alcohol earlier, his words, which he'd been holding back tonight, were finally blurted out. "Don't we
know each other already? Or are you just forgetful?" "How could I forget?” Rose's fingers curled slightly on Silas’ chest as she tried to calm herself as best
as she could. "You're the second son in the Taylor family, Lyse's second brother.” "Then why are you ignoring me?" Silas persisted. "I didn't bother to.” Rose's eyes were dodgy. Silas’ brows knitted together as the irritation in his chest grew. "Didn't... bother... to? I'm probably
the closest person to you in my family, next to Lyse. How could you not bother to?" "Mr. Silas, I don't have to say hi to every acquaintance of mine, do I? It's not illegal not to.” Rose's
heart clenched. She struggled in his arms. "Now let go. I need to go back out there.” Silas grew angry, arm tightening around Rose's waist. "Every acquaintance? Would you kiss your
acquaintances, then? I'm afraid you have a misunderstanding about the term acquaintance, Ms.
Emerson.” "Kiss? When did we..." While Rose was still stunned, Silas pressed his lips against hers while wrapping his other hand
around the back of her head, deepening it. He kissed her deeply, as if yearning to consume her
whole. "Oh..." Rose moaned softly, her body growing weak in his arms as she lost the strength to fight
back. Her slender hands grabbed futilely at Silas’ chest before dropping weakly by her sides. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
