Chapter 182: When She Cried in My Arms, You Were Still at Sea
Julian Lawson felt like he was going crazy.He didn’t understand why things had turned out this way.
He recalled that a few days ago, Ian Yates had sent him some gossip, saying that Silas Hawthorne was desperately pursuing a mysterious woman.
Ian Yates had said that the woman also had a child.
A little girl. For origınal chapters go to ????????????????????•????????????????•????????????
A few days ago, he had even seen Silas Hawthorne at a Sanrio store.
Silas had said that the child of the woman he liked was fond of Cinnamoroll.
And the things Silas had told him...
Thinking back now, everything seemed to relate to her.
Why?
Why does it have to be like this!
When exactly did she start getting involved with Silas Hawthorne?
Was it during "Heavenly Sound"?
He also recalled the things the three Hawthorne Family members mumbled around him before, and the look in Silas’s eyes when he looked at him back then.
All of this... was driving him insane.
"Serena, are you doing this on purpose to upset me?" His hand that was clutching her shoulder burst open at the wound, with fresh blood staining her shoulder, "Is it because of what happened with Vera and me, that you..."
Before Julian could finish his words, he was already pulled away with great force.
"You!" Julian turned his head angrily, and then saw Silas Hawthorne standing in front of Serena.
"Silas Hawthorne!"
Just one look at him, and Julian Lawson almost went mad with anger.
But Silas Hawthorne ignored him and looked at Serena, saying, "I haven’t heard from you in a while, so I came up to check."
Not having received any messages from her, he looped around the area and found Julian’s car hidden in a dark corner.
Seeing that Maybach, he knew, and immediately went upstairs.
"Silas, we’ve always stayed out of each other’s way, you..."
"Serena, you should go back inside, I’ll handle this here." Silas blocked Julian’s path, protecting her and not paying any attention to Julian’s rage.
Serena looked at Julian, and then at Silas.
Only after seeing Silas nod did she turn around and open the door to go inside.
She had already made things clear enough to Julian.
Silas said he could handle it, and she believed him.
"Bang."
With a light sound, the door to Serena’s home closed in front of Julian Lawson’s eyes.
At this moment, the corridor was left with only Julian Lawson and Silas Hawthorne.
Both men stared at each other, one calm, the other with eyes red with anger.
"Don’t cause trouble here, let’s go talk in the hallway." Silas said, leading the way down the hallway.
Julian’s lips were tightly pressed together, his eyes fixed on Serena’s door, as if wanting to burn a hole through it.
But he knew she wouldn’t open the door.
Moreover, not far away, Silas was still standing there, watching his direction.
Taking a deep breath, Julian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and followed Silas to the hallway.
The green exit sign in the safety passage emitted a faint light, illuminating the two confronting men.
Julian looked at the man in front of him, a man he had only regarded as a business rival before. For the first time, he realized how much he disliked him.
"What did you do today?" Julian demanded.
Silas responded with a light laugh, "A date."
Those simple two words immediately made Julian’s blood rise.
Anger mixed with blood coursed through his veins, making it almost impossible for him to control himself.
"A date?" Julian repeated Silas’s words.
"Yes." Silas still smiled, "It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? It’s all over the internet."
Julian laughed in anger and said, "Silas, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to."
"The Hawthorne Family has always been beneath the Lawson Family, you want to use such underhanded methods to bring down the Lawson Corporation?"
But Silas just smiled and didn’t respond.
"Stay away from Serena, do you hear me!" Julian took a step forward, giving a warning.
But Silas merely lowered his eyes slightly.
He didn’t look at Julian, still smiling.
He said, "You’ve gone out to eat who knows how many times with Vera, and now I have a single meal with Serena, and you can’t handle it?"
"You!"
Silas didn’t retreat but rather advanced, taking a step forward as well.
He looked up at Julian and said, "I do hope for the Hawthorne Family’s prosperity, but it’s also true that I like Serena."
"I have other ways to take down the Lawson Corporation, I’m not as vile as you think."
Julian laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You?" He sarcastically remarked, "Like Serena?"
"What a joke!"
"Yes, I like her." Silas’s smile carried a trace of coldness, "It’s not a joke, I mean it."
"I told you that day, I’ve liked her for a very long time, day and night, tossing and turning."
"In this world, you’re not the only one who deserves to have her."
Silas looked into Julian’s eyes and said:
"I’ve seen her goodness, I like her personality, I admire her way of handling things, and I’m impressed by her capability."
"In her, I like both the good and the bad, I like everything about her."
"Compared to your shallow and perfunctory attitude towards her, I think I know and respect her more than you do."
The smile on Julian’s face slowly faded.
He didn’t speak for a long time, scrutinizing Silas in the faint light.
As if trying to gauge the truth of his words.
Silas didn’t shy away, calmly meeting Julian’s gaze.
The two remained silent for a long time.
"Did she send you to say these things to me?" Julian finally asked.
But all he got in response was a cold laugh from Silas.
Finally, it seemed that Julian accepted Silas’s words as truth.
"She’s been with me for seven years." Julian said.
"I know." Silas replied calmly.
"We once had a child." Julian clenched his fists.
Silas squinted his eyes slightly: "I’m aware."
Julian’s chest heaved violently, his red eyes locked on Silas.
Malice rising, he looked at Silas and said, "We’ve lived together for seven years, day and night, what makes you think you know her better than I do!"
"She is mine, I’ve seen every side of her, I’ve seen more of her emotions than you have."
Julian kept speaking, sentence after sentence, as if to make Silas back down.
"When she cried in my arms, Silas, you were still floating on the sea!"
Silas stopped smiling.
The dim light of the hallway, with the green safety exit sign to the side, made him appear dangerous.
He walked forward two steps, grabbed Julian by the collar, and harshly shoved him against the wall.
"What? Did I hit a nerve?" Julian laughed maniacally, his red eyes fixed, word by word he said, "She is mine, she always will be mine!"
Silas looked at Julian, and suddenly, he smiled again, the smile deep, but his eyes were intensely cold.
