Flash Marriage With Mr. Sheffield: Go Away, Cheap Man!-Chapter 105: Caught Silas Sheffield and Clara Sterling Kissing
After dinner, Clara Sterling thought the old lady must have something to say to Silas Sheffield today, so she took the initiative to avoid it and took Yvonne Sterling upstairs to rest.
Living room downstairs.
Susan Saxon saw Clara and Yvonne leave and called Silas Sheffield over.
"Silas, Thea is now working at a company here in Veridian, take care of her more."
Silas Sheffield remained indifferent, "Does a grown adult need my care?"
Hearing this, Thea Tate’s nails dug into her palm, her red lips pressed into a straight line.
Susan Saxon showed displeasure, "Don’t play dumb with me, you know what I mean."
"The Sheffield Group doesn’t support idlers." But Silas Sheffield’s attitude remained cold, "If her work ability is not up to par, I will deal with it according to company regulations."
"You’re just so hard to persuade." The old lady sighed helplessly, "In any case, you and Thea grew up together, what’s wrong with looking after her?"
Seeing the old lady was about to get angry, Thea Tate thoughtfully said, "Grandma, don’t be angry, Silas is married now, he has a wife, it’s indeed inconvenient to look after me, even if Silas is willing, Clara surely wouldn’t be."
The words sounded empathetic, generous, and decent, yet upon closer thought, it’s not hard to see the deeper implication.
Even if Silas is willing, Clara surely wouldn’t be.
Such a light sentence painted Clara Sterling as petty, jealous, and narrow-minded.
Silas Sheffield looked at Thea Tate with an icy gaze, clearly enunciating, "It’s that I’m not willing, what does it have to do with my wife?"
Then, Silas Sheffield looked at the old lady, his gaze still cold, "Besides, Thea and I are not childhood sweethearts, at most we were neighbors."
Thea Tate’s smile froze, awkwardly silent.
Susan Saxon’s face turned grim, "Does your father and Joanne Quincy know you’re married?"
Joanne Quincy has been married into the Sheffield Family for so long, yet Susan Saxon is still dissatisfied, always addressing her by full name everywhere.
Silas Sheffield replied softly, "They know."
"They didn’t say anything?"
"They did. They said they were very happy and satisfied with Clara, and are waiting to have grandchildren."
Upon hearing this, the fake smile on Thea Tate’s face could no longer be maintained, the smile at her lips disappeared.
The old lady snorted coldly, "Joanne Quincy really, a stepmother is always a stepmother, how can she truly think about you, can the conditions of Clara Sterling’s family be unknown to you? Dating is one thing, but marriage should consider social standing."
Saying this, the old lady glared at Silas Sheffield angrily, "You too, how could you get married so casually? Not just anyone can be the granddaughter-in-law of the Sheffield Family."
Silas Sheffield laughed in anger.
"Grandma, am I marrying a wife or are you? As long as I’m satisfied, as for others’ views, I don’t care."
Susan Saxon was also angry, her tone heavier, "Even grandma’s opinion doesn’t matter to you?"
"Yes." Silas Sheffield answered straightforwardly.
The old lady was extremely angry, "Fine, fine, very well! It seems I have no say in this family, none of you are listening to me."
Silas Sheffield softened his attitude a bit, "Grandma, don’t be angry, what brings you here today?"
"Humph." The old lady snorted coldly, "I came to Veridian to see Thea, as for you, I just stopped by, I didn’t expect you to have brought someone home to live together."
"Alright, Grandma, I’m almost twenty-six, I can make my own decisions." Silas Sheffield’s tone was still cold.
Susan Saxon displeased, "Grown up and independent, not even listening to grandma."
Silas Sheffield changed the subject, "I’ll have Ms. Cheney prepare your room."
Susan Saxon waved her hand, "Forget it, I don’t want to live with that mother and daughter, out of sight, out of mind, I’ll go back to Crestwood today, you book me a flight."
Silas Sheffield nodded, "Okay."
Upstairs.
Yvonne Sterling held Clara’s hand, her gaze full of love and heartache, "Clara, I think the old lady of the Sheffield family doesn’t seem happy with me living here, maybe mom should move out."
Of course, Clara Sterling also noticed, the old lady almost explicitly asked them to leave.
"Mom, I need to discuss this with Silas."
After all, from Silas Sheffield’s attitude just now, he seemed to be quite protective of her.
If her mom moves out, she’ll definitely have to move out to take care of her too.
Clara Sterling was not unwilling to move into a rented house, she was concerned that her mom wouldn’t live well there, and she wouldn’t have time to care for her mom, which might worsen her mom’s condition.
Now that her mom is living here at Silas Sheffield’s place, with Ms. Cheney and a caregiver to attend to her, and doctors available for house calls.
Yvonne Sterling nodded, asking again, "Clara, it seems that the old lady of the Sheffield family really likes the girl who came with her, what’s her background?"
"Her name is Thea Tate, she was Silas’s neighbor from the old house."
Clara Sterling didn’t want her mom to worry about her affairs, so she didn’t say that Thea was Silas Sheffield’s ex-girlfriend.
"Oh, just neighbors." Yvonne Sterling breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing it’s not some childhood sweetheart, a first love, or a betrothed fiancée.
Just as the words fell, there was a knock on the door.
Clara Sterling went to open the door and saw Silas Sheffield standing outside.
Silas Sheffield said something in a low voice, Clara turned to Yvonne and said, "Mom, you take a nap, I’ll go talk to Silas."
"Alright, go ahead."
Clara went out from Yvonne’s room, closing the door behind her, and followed Silas Sheffield to his room.
As soon as she entered, Clara Sterling spoke, "Silas, my mom said she wants to move out, what do you think..."
Silas Sheffield frowned, "Why?"
Before Clara Sterling could speak, Silas Sheffield continued, "Because of grandma?"
Clara Sterling pursed her lips in silence, acknowledging it.
Silas Sheffield reached out and wrapped an arm around Clara’s waist, encircling her in his embrace.
"Don’t worry about grandma, I’ve already made it clear, she’s going back to Crestwood today, and I’ve already had the ticket booked, she’ll be leaving for the airport soon."
"So soon?"
"Yeah." Silas Sheffield lowered his head, kissing Clara on the forehead.
"Don’t be unhappy, okay?" The man’s lips were warm and soft, inching down to Clara’s lips.
As their lips met, Silas Sheffield’s voice was low and husky, "There’s no room in my heart for anyone else but you."
This was an explanation about Thea.
Silas Sheffield’s lowered stance to cajole her was something Clara couldn’t resist.
"I’m not angry," Clara whispered.
Silas Sheffield smiled with a curl of his lips, tightening his embrace, kissing her with tenderness and lingering affection.
"Silas, grandma’s calling you..." At the door, Thea Tate’s voice suddenly stopped.
The door to Silas Sheffield’s bedroom was ajar, and the two were caught kissing by Thea Tate. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Thea Tate was frozen in place, her face turning pale.
Clara Sterling blushed deeply, quickly raising her hand to push Silas Sheffield but couldn’t move him.
Silas Sheffield deepened the kiss, completely unconcerned about the person at the door.
Thea Tate’s face lost all color, muttered "sorry" and hurriedly turned to go downstairs.
Clara Sterling’s face was flushed crimson, utterly embarrassed.
She placed her hands on the man’s chest, turning her head to end the kiss, "She saw."
Silas Sheffield’s eyes were filled with passion, the depths of his gaze impossible to fathom, "Seeing is better."
Seeing would make her give up.
