A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 26

Chapter 27

"Right, Silas?"

"Huh?" Silas broke out of his thoughts and turned to his brother. "Sorry, I didn't get that," he said, reaching for his coffee.

His mind had been elsewhere, occupied with Ivy's behavior this morning. Why was she acting this way? He couldn't help but think maybe it had to do with his attitude yesterday.

He should have spoken to her about Dylan's message instead of chosing to ignore it. Of course, she had every right to be upset.

"I was saying it'd be nice if Ivy met Uncle Mike and Theresa before the wedding," Thomas said. "You know, to put her at ease."

Silas nodded, grateful for Thomas's suggestion. "Sure," he replied.

"You'll have interviews scheduled once the marriage hits full speed," Wade chimed in. "Are you prepared for that?"

"Not yet." Silas shook his head. "We'll figure it out when the time comes."

"Alright then," Wade said with a shrug.

"How are you holding up?" Thomas asked, concern evident in his tone. "I mean, with Ivy. Is it strange living with a woman?"

"You still haven't told us how you two met," Wade added.

"It's a long story," Silas replied, not wanting to dive into details. He wasn't about to admit he had slept with Ivy before marrying her. He knew Thomas would lecture him endlessly about the complications-especially with Mason Hunter involved.

His thoughts drifted to that night, to the memory of her giving him her body to explore. He would do anything to have her again.

His body reacted to the mere thought of her breasts, and he adjusted.

Thomas and Wade exchanged a knowing look before Wade said, "Alright then.”

A moment of silence passed before Thomas spoke again. “Dylan called me last night."

Silas stiffened, angry suddenly. "Why? What did he want?"

"He just called to say hello," Thomas said with a shrug. "And... he asked me to tell you he's sorry."

"He's sorry?" Silas scoffed at the lie. He knew Dylan was far from sorry, especially after his message last night-the message that had kept him up all night.

"He claimed he realized his mistake," Thomas said, taking a bite of his toast.

Silas muttered, pinching the bridge of his
