After Thea smiled and said those words, disappearing into the crowd, Silas was unable to
react for a long time.
For a moment, he felt an inexplicable panic, as if he was about to lose the most important thing in his life.
It was like the day Thea calmly signed the divorce papers, and he felt an inexplicable
unease in his heart.
She didn’t argue or make a fuss, as if she had anticipated all the outcomes long ago.
But just a while ago, Thea had thrown a fit because he forgot her birthday, and he even got slapped by her.
He originally thought that when he proposed a fake divorce, Thea would go crazy and make a scene with him. He had even prepared for how to deal with it.
But she didn’t. She picked up the pen and signed with an expression as calm as still
water.
At that moment, he had the urge to stop Thea, but in the end, he did nothing.
He thought it was okay, Thea loved him very much, they were just pretending to divorce,
and he would make it up to her later.

She couldn’t be hurt because of him. If it weren’t for Jane’s father recognizing his talent back then, risking being kicked out of the board of directors to invest in his project, guiding him to grow and join the ranks of the nouveau riche, he wouldn’t have today’s
achievements.
He wasn’t worthy of Jane.
Before Jane’s father passed away, he hoped that he would protect Jane and ensure her yell–being. He didn’t want to be an ungrateful person.
Jack had asked him once: “If one day, Jane and Thea both fell off a cliff, who would you
save?”
At that time, he laughed, thinking this question was too amateurish.
He would save Jane, but he would die with Thea.
Jack laughed along with him, but he asked himself: “What if Thea doesn’t want to die?”
“Silas, you can’t always take advantage of Thea’s love for you and keep hurting her. If she can’t feel your love, she’ll become desperate too.”
That day, he didn’t take it seriously.
He never even took those words to heart.
Unexpectedly, it all came true in the end.
