âMy motherâs first pregnancy was quadruplets, and Iâm the second oldest. I resemble my eldest brother a lot. Axel looks like my third brother. They both take after my mother.â
Normally, Silas would never discuss family matters with others.
However, for some reason, he wanted to satisfy her curiosity. It happened to be a way to divert her attention. She was truly anxious and nervous earlier.
âOh⦠so it seems Madam looks half like your mother and half like Mr. Taylor.â
Roseâs eyes sparkled with admiration. âMadam really has inherited the essence of both parents.â
Hearing that, Silas couldnât help but smile. Suddenly, he noticed that Rose was very thin, even thinner than Alyssa.
Her beautiful shoulders protruded, making her look like the perfect model for all clothes. However, there was no shortage in areas where there should be flesh.
For some reason, Silas felt a twinge of tenderness. He gradually tightened his grip on her shoulders.
âWho were those two men who bullied you? Why were you with them?â
At his question, Rose suddenly trembled. She leaned back, deliber avoiding his concerned gaze.
âPeople I know in the business. I havenât had much contact with them before, so I didnât know they were this type of person.
âBusiness? I heard from Lyse that youâre a fashion designer. Donât you usually draw and use the sewing machine in the studio? Is it necessary to mingle in such places?â Silasâs tone became impatient.
At his words, Rose raised an eyebrow coldly. âOh, in your eyes, designers are just seamstresses, right?
Do we not need to promote our brand and expand our connections?â
âSo, you drank with those two foreigners and got drunk? Didnât you realize their dirty intentions?â
Silas became even more anxious. With red-rimmed eyes, he stared straight at her. âHow can you not have any awareness? Or are you just that daring to do anything for the sake of your brand?â
âYes. After all, I have no one to rely on. I can only rely on myself.â Rose felt indescribably uncomfortable, so she turned her face away and did not look at him.
Noticing her nonchalant attitude, Silas was furious. He forcefully pressed her onto the car seat. âRely on yourself? By drinking with men and laughing at their stupid jokes?â
âItâs none of your business.â Rose gritted her teeth, feeling a little heartbroken.
âDo you know what would have happened if I had been a bit late? Arenât you afraid at all? Do you want me to solve a case one day, and the victim turns out to be you?â
âI donât want to know. Besides, youâre here now. Even if you hadnât come, I would have found a way to get a to away.â
Biting at her lip, Rose lightly pressed her hands onto Silasâ chest and ruthlessly pushed him away.
âNext time you see me, remember to stay far away so you wonât be in trouble.â
âYou⦠Youâre simply unreasonable!â Silas was furious, staring at her with red eyes.
âMiss, you better listen. Iâve been working around this nightclub for over two years. Iâve seen many ladies who got drunk and were taken away,â the driver advised kindly, âYour boyfriend is also looking out for you.
A young lady like you shouldnât be in a place like this.â
âItâs none of your business. Donât talk,â both Silas and Rose said in unison.
âAlright, alright. Young couples quarrel, I know. Iâve been through this.â
The driver found a way out for himself and then asked. âUh, since youâre done arguing, where do you want to go?â
T-
Before Rose could speak, Silas preemptively gave an address.
âWhere are you taking me?â Rose asked.
âTo my house.â
âSilas! This is absolutely outrageous! How can you take me to your house?â Rose blushed with embarrassment.
If it werenât for him saving her, she would have wanted to punch him in the head.
*Those two men just now were quite powerful. Until Axel deals with them, I wonât let you go home alone.
You might be followed at any time and be in danger.â
Suddenly, Silas grabbed her wrist, holding it tightly like handcuffs. âNo matter what, donât think about leaving me tonight. Iâm in charge of you now!â
