Flash Marriage With Mr. Sheffield: Go Away, Cheap Man!-Chapter 106: The Person in Silas Sheffield’s Heart May Have Always Been Clara Sterling

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Person in Silas Sheffield’s Heart May Have Always Been Clara Sterling

Clara also understood the implication in Silas Sheffield’s words.

It seemed that Silas noticed all the little gestures Thea made during the meal.

Thea’s thoughts were as clear as day to Silas.

Letting her see them kiss was just the way to make Thea give up her feelings.

However, it was still awkward for Clara to kiss Silas in front of his ex-girlfriend.

Seeing Clara press against his chest to stop the kiss, Silas followed her lead and didn’t continue.

"Just now, it seemed like she said your grandma was calling you," Clara said, "Go and take a look, she must have something to discuss with you."

Silas nodded, "She must be heading to the airport."

Silas held Clara’s hand, "Come with me downstairs to say goodbye to grandma."

"Okay."

Thea walked downstairs, looking lost and pale.

Susan Saxon, noticing her appearance, frowned slightly and asked, "What’s wrong, Thea?"

Thea sat down next to Susan Saxon and shook her head gently, "Nothing, grandma."

Susan Saxon asked, "Has Silas come down yet?"

Thea absentmindedly replied, "Mm."

Seeing Silas Sheffield kiss someone else shattered the wall in Thea’s heart.

In that instant, her heart ached as if pierced by a thousand arrows.

In all the years she knew Silas Sheffield, she had never seen him so emotionally moved.

Silas Sheffield had been receiving love letters since middle school.

When he reached high school, the girls became even bolder, writing love letters, giving gifts, and confessing openly, only to be unceremoniously rejected by Silas Sheffield.

For the girls at school, a boy like Silas Sheffield, with his good looks, privileged background, and consistent top ranking, was utterly irresistible.

It’s no exaggeration to say that during his high school years, at least half of the girls from all three grades liked him.

This half included girls who were sapiosexual, looks-driven, voice-obsessed, or admired strength, and, naturally, it included her.

The remaining half were solely focused on academics.

At that time, Silas Sheffield had the title of "Crestwood No. 1 High School’s most handsome heartthrob of the century," surpassing even the hottest male celebrities in looks.

She had been secretly in love with Silas Sheffield since her first year of high school but never confessed throughout the three years.

Initially, she was confident, believing she stood on equal ground with Silas in terms of family background and appearance.

However, after seeing many girls, equally well-off and beautiful, get rejected, her confidence waned, burying her affection deep without confessing.

Since their families, the Tates and Sheffields, were neighbors, she sometimes purposefully told the driver not to pick her up, mustering the courage to concoct excuses that the driver couldn’t make it, asking Silas if she could catch a ride home with them, which Silas never declined.

Years passed, Silas rejected countless girls, remaining distant and aloof to all.

Yet he never refused her request to catch a ride home together.

Gradually, she regained confidence, feeling Silas treated her differently from others.

Perhaps in Silas’s heart, she was someone special.

She was very close to Sophie Sheffield, Silas’s sister.

Occasionally hitching a ride, Sophie would affectionately hold her arm and chatter endlessly.

Sophie would invite her to birthday parties as well.

Later, Silas was guaranteed entry to the country’s top university, Veridian University, and she worked tirelessly to get admitted there just to be with him.

There were rumors that soon after freshman year started, many girls confessed to Silas.

Alarmed, she used a burner account to post on Veridian University’s X forum that Silas already had someone he liked, advising the girls to give up their feelings.

Someone noticed that Silas liked the post, and that person specifically posted a screenshot on the forum, captioning, "Does this mean Silas is acknowledging he has someone he likes?"

The post went viral, garnering tens of thousands of comments overnight and leaving girls who liked Silas heartbroken.

Seeing Silas’s response filled her with joy.

This was completely unexpected for her.

She only intended to dishearten the girls who liked him, never imagining Silas would personally like the post in response.

That day, she suddenly had a bold suspicion.

Had Silas been rejecting other girls all these years because of her?

She never confessed, and Silas kept rejecting others.

Could it be that Silas was waiting for her to confess?

Proud and lofty as he was, he surely wouldn’t be the first to express his feelings.

Silas was waiting for her to break the silence.

This thought made her heart leap with excitement, keeping her awake all night.

The next day, she confessed to Silas.

But to her surprise, Silas decisively rejected her.

At that moment, her face turned pale as paper, her lips trembling as she asked.

"Who is it that you like?"

Silas coldly replied with four words.

"It’s none of your business."

This incident dealt a severe blow to her.

She felt miserable and depressed for a week because of it.

A week later, she picked herself up, gathering the courage to pursue Silas openly, occasionally attending classes with him.

Even though Silas treated her coldly, she was persistent.

In others’ eyes, she seemed like Silas’s girlfriend.

The year Sophie Sheffield graduated, she invited her to the birthday party as usual.

Before leaving, she specifically asked Sophie what Silas was wearing that day.

After getting the answer, she purposely wore a dress of the same color as Silas, creating the illusion they were in matching outfits.

At Sophie’s birthday party that day, she stayed close to Silas, finding topics to chat with him.

Silas remained indifferent, rarely responding.

But because she stuck by him and their outfits resembled couple’s attire, the girls wanting to approach him hesitated.

In that sense, her goal was achieved.

Some even mistakenly believed she and Silas were together, asking when they started dating.

She didn’t clarify, only blushing shyly and evading the questions, deepening the misunderstanding, making people think they were truly dating.

During that period, even Sophie thought she and Silas were dating.

Throughout four years in college, she pursued Silas for a long time, but his heart remained colder than ice, ever unyielding.

Even when she intentionally dated others to provoke him, Silas remained unmoved.

After graduation, she pretended to be drunk and leaned in to kiss him, only to be pushed away, the disdain in his eyes cutting her deeply.

Heartbroken, she left for Freedonia, cutting off contact with Silas for a long time.

Yet she heard from acquaintances that Silas never dated anyone.

For all these years, she never knew who the person in Silas’s heart was.

It was only just now that she suddenly realized.

The person in Silas’s heart might have always been Clara Sterling.
