Free Web NovelChapter 446: Chapter 446: From This Moment On, I’ll Say I Love You (46)
That night,
It had been almost a dozen hours since Amelia Avery was kidnapped and buried.
No one had discovered she was missing.
The one person who might have, Cassian Jennings, seemed to have forgotten all about her. He was currently taking care of Gia Miller, who was pretending to be unconscious.
Lightning flashed outside. Cassian Jennings looked up with a frown, then got up to close the window and draw the curtains.
He turned to glance at the woman lying on the bed before leaving and closing the door behind him.
A vague sense of unease crept into Cassian Jennings’s heart. He picked up his phone, wanting to call the woman and ask where she was, but when he opened his contacts, he realized he didn’t even know which number was hers...
The feeling of helplessness left Cassian feeling frustrated and restless.
’She just vanished during the day. It’s not like she was kidnapped, so where on earth did she go?’
After thinking for a long time, he recalled Amelia Avery’s fiery temper and told himself to stop worrying. ’With a personality like hers, she’s the one who bullies others. Who could possibly bully her? Besides, no one would dare.’
「Newcroft, Villa District.」
Hearing the thunder outside, Mika Summers frowned slightly. Just then, Tristan Grayson’s arms tightened around her and Kiki, pulling them closer into his embrace.
He lowered his head, kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile, "Go to sleep."
"Mm."
A wave of warmth washed over her heart. She hummed in response and closed her eyes.
But she wasn’t the least bit sleepy. Her thoughts turned to Silas Kent. ’It’s been so many days since I got back, and I still haven’t told him I’m here...’
’If Silas knew I was back, he’d definitely be furious.’
’Sigh... Maybe... Maybe it’s time I told him tomorrow.’

The next day, a little after ten in the morning, Silas Kent flew back from Austerra to Tridell.
He had just gotten off the plane and turned on his phone when a call came in from Mika Summers. His brow furrowed, his expression unreadable.
After the call connected, Silas Kent didn’t speak first. The woman’s voice came through slowly. "Silas, I’ve been thinking a lot these past two days. I don’t think... I don’t think I can get engaged to you."
Hearing her words, a sharp pain shot through Silas Kent’s heart. A mocking smile touched his lips as he asked coldly, "Why?" Even though he already knew the answer, he had to ask. He needed to hear it from her own lips. freewёbnoνel.com
"I... I’m back in Tridell. Silas, I’m sorry. I’ve decided to remarry Tristan Grayson."
Silas Kent stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head up slightly, suppressing the ache in his heart, and said icily, "Remarry? Mika Summers, have you forgotten how he hurt you?"

"I don’t want to hear your apologies. Mika Summers, you can’t remarry him." ’If you remarry him, then what does that make me?’
But Silas Kent never said those words out loud. Her voice came through the phone again. "I’m truly sorry, but other than ’I’m sorry,’ I don’t know what else to say. Silas Kent, you deserve a better woman. You shouldn’t waste your time on me."
Before Silas Kent could respond, she hung up.
Silas Kent’s hand tightened around his phone, his eyes filled with anguish. ’In the end, she still chose to be with Tristan Grayson. There was never any place for me in her heart...’
’Mika Summers, do you have any idea how much you’ve hurt me?’
’If you could never forget him, why did you give me hope? You gave me hope, only to shatter my happiness just when I thought I’d finally found it...’
