CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: SILAS SHEFFIELD SPECIALLY RETURNS TO SPEND VALENTINE’S DAY WITH HIS WIFE

In the evening, Silas Sheffield did not return to the Sheffield Family.

After dinner, Zeke Sheffield asked Sophie Sheffield, "Your brother said he likes someone. Do you know who it is?"

Joanne Quincy was surprised, "Silas has someone he likes? How come he never mentioned it? If he had said he liked someone, I wouldn’t have arranged blind dates for him."

Sophie Sheffield pouted, "I know, isn’t it Thea Tate? It’s been so many years, and my brother still can’t let go."

"Thea Tate?" Joanne Quincy said in astonishment, "Haven’t they been broken up for three or four years?"

Sophie Sheffield played with her phone and replied casually, "Yup, my brother is quite sentimental."

Zeke Sheffield snorted coldly, "If he’s really sentimental, why didn’t he chase her to Freedonia? Why wait for three or four years?"

"My brother cares about his pride, okay? I’ve never seen him actively pursue someone," Sophie Sheffield said. "Back then, it was Thea who chased him. If Thea comes back to Gaulia, they might reconcile, but expecting him to chase her abroad? It’s impossible."

Zeke Sheffield said coldly, "He’s almost twenty-six years old and doesn’t even have a girlfriend."

Sophie Sheffield smiled and said, "Dad, you don’t need to worry about him. The women who like my brother could form a line from here to Gaulia. As long as he’s willing, you could have grandkids anytime."

Zeke Sheffield sneered, "That depends on whether he’s willing."

Before sleeping, Sophie Sheffield lay on her bed and made a video call to Clara Sterling.

"Clara, let me tell you, my brother went on a blind date today."

Clara Sterling’s heart skipped a beat, her fingers slightly tensing.

She clearly felt concerned in her heart, but her expression remained calm.

Clara Sterling pretended to respond casually, "Silas went on a blind date, huh? How did it go?"

"Oh, he directly told the person he wasn’t interested and left the lady behind," Sophie Sheffield said.

Clara subtly let out a sigh of relief.

"Ah, it’s been almost four years, and my brother still can’t let go of Thea," Sophie Sheffield continued, "To be honest, the lady he was on a date with today is quite beautiful, elegant, with a dignified temperament, matching very well with my brother. Unfortunately, he’s not interested."

Clara’s heart, which had just calmed down, tightened again.

Was it because he couldn’t let go of Thea that he refused?

Sophie Sheffield continued speaking, but Clara absentmindedly didn’t listen.

She recalled when Silas Sheffield explained to her that he hadn’t been holding onto Thea.

But if he hadn’t been holding onto her, why did he refuse today’s date because of Thea?

Is he still waiting for her?

Clara’s mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, and suddenly she heard Sophie Sheffield say, "It would be great if Thea could come back to Gaulia, then my brother wouldn’t have to stay single."

Clara pursed her lips and asked, "If she comes back to Gaulia, would Silas reconcile with her?"

"Yes," Sophie Sheffield said without hesitation. "I think my brother is very likely to reconcile with her. The power of a first love is not to be underestimated. My brother has waited for her for so long. If she really returns, there’s no reason not to reconcile."

Clara felt a sourness welling up inside, and her fingers curled slightly.

Yes, she was his first love.

The scene suddenly flashed in her mind of Sophie Sheffield’s eighteenth birthday party, where Silas Sheffield and Thea Tate stood together.

Just like a prince and princess in a fairy tale, so well-matched.

Everything around them was dull and lifeless, only they were shining, as if they were destined to be together.

Clara Sterling, are you falling for Silas Sheffield again?

Clara silently mocked herself.

A voice kept resonating in her head: Your role as Mrs. Sheffield is stolen.

As soon as Thea returns to Gaulia, you will have to give way.

...

In the following days, Silas Sheffield was very busy.

After the New Year, businesses had just resumed work, and a pile of matters awaited him to handle.

Mr. Sheffield, mainly responsible for Sheffield Group’s overseas industries, didn’t stay long in Gaulia and left again shortly after his return.

That day, as Silas Sheffield finished his work and just walked out of the elevator, he overheard a few employees chatting not far away.

"How are you planning to spend Valentine’s Day tomorrow?"

"Going to the movies with my boyfriend, then having a nice dinner and taking some beautiful photos. What about you?"

"I’ve arranged to go to an exhibition with my crush."

"Wow, how come you guys all have dates? I also want a sweet romance."

"Valentine’s Day is irrelevant to me; I plan to stay home watching dramas tomorrow."

The group of women chatted and laughed as they walked out of Sheffield Tower.

Silas Sheffield paused his steps.

His assistant Zachary Lynch also stopped beside him.

Silas Sheffield asked softly, "Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day?"

Zachary Lynch, who was usually too busy to have a girlfriend, obviously didn’t pay attention to Valentine’s Day.

Upon being asked, he quickly glanced at the calendar on his phone and replied, "Yes, President Sheffield."

Silas Sheffield was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Book a flight ticket to Veridian for tomorrow morning."

"Alright, President Sheffield."

"Also..." Silas Sheffield thought for a while, "Check what Valentine’s Day events or activities suitable for young couples are happening in Veridian tomorrow."

Zachary Lynch was slightly surprised, realizing that the boss might be up to something.

Is he planning to have a date with Miss Sterling?

Wow, the century-old tree is finally blooming.

Zachary Lynch suppressed his curiosity, maintaining a calm expression as he replied, "Alright, President Sheffield."

Zachary Lynch was very efficient.

Within an hour, he had compiled and sent Silas Sheffield a list of Valentine’s Day events and activities suitable for young couples happening in Veridian tomorrow.

Silas Sheffield returned home and immediately looked at the list, not even taking the time to shower.

As he browsed through it, his eyes lit up.

Tomorrow, Veridian Sports Center will host a "League of Kings" game exhibition.

Silas Sheffield immediately made a call to the organizers.

...

When Clara Sterling received Silas Sheffield’s call, she had just finished lunch with her mother.

"Hello, Silas," she answered.

"Come downstairs, I’ll take you somewhere," Silas Sheffield said.

"Huh?" Clara Sterling was bewildered, "Silas, you’re back in Veridian?"

"Yes, I’m at the hospital entrance."

"Oh, okay."

After hanging up, Clara Sterling said goodbye to her mom and went downstairs.

In the elevator, she was still puzzled.

Why did Silas suddenly come back to Veridian? She hadn’t heard him or Sophie mention it before.

And he only called after arriving downstairs, did something urgent suddenly make him return?

With these thoughts, Clara walked to the hospital entrance.

Silas Sheffield wore a black overcoat today, standing in the cold wind, exuding a cool and outstanding aura.

Silas Sheffield was the best-looking man in an overcoat Clara had ever seen.

Standing about six feet three inches tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, he seemed born for coats, like a lead character from a Korean drama, filled with fateful allure.

Silas Sheffield saw Clara, and walked towards her.

Clara Sterling opened her mouth in surprise, "Silas, why did you suddenly come back? Is there something urgent?"

"No," Silas Sheffield replied, leading her to the car, "I’m taking you somewhere."

"Now?"

"Yes."

Silas Sheffield opened the passenger door, and Clara realized he had driven alone, without his assistant or driver.

So, she was going somewhere with Silas alone.

Clara got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

The pleasant scent of ebony and amber filled the air, causing Clara’s heart to beat faster.

She didn’t ask where they were going.

After driving for a few minutes, Silas suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?"

Clara softly replied, "Yes."

Silas said "good" and didn’t speak again on the way.

In the quiet and confined space, only their breaths could be heard.

Clara’s mind began to wander uncontrollably.

Silas went on a blind date back in Crestwood.

The girl on the date matched him well, but he declined.

Because he still likes Thea.

Sophie said, if Thea returns to Gaulia, Silas would likely reconcile with her.

If Thea returns while mom’s illness hasn’t been treated, would he ask for a divorce to reconcile with Thea?

If that happens, it seems she would have no choice but to accept...

"We’re here," Silas suddenly spoke.

Clara snapped out of her thoughts as they were in a basement parking lot.

"Where is this?"

Silas unbuckled his seatbelt, ready to get out of the car, "You’ll see in a moment."
