“May I invite you to a dance?” Silas inquired.
Rose stood up gracefully and placed her hand in his palm. “Of course.”
Silas noticed the tears glistening in the corners of her eyes in the soft light. He tightened

hand, which startled her, prompting a futile attempt by her to break free from his hold.
“Is something wrong? Do you regret your decision?” Silas inquired, raising an eyebrow.

“I know you’ve loved her for a long time. Find her and ask her to dance, It’s a great
opportunity for you.
Stop sticking with me. Just go.”
“Mom, you’re overthinking. I want to be with you,” he reassured Lily, offering a gentle
smile.
“I’ll have plenty of time with Lyse,”
“Jimmy!”
At the sound of the familiar voice, Jameson’s demeanor grew cold. The voice also startled
Lily, who sought refuge in his embrace.
“Jimmy, come out! We need to talk!” Victor bellowed and glared at Jameson.
“Dad, is your eyesight worsening with age? Can’t you see that your wife is right in front of
you?” Jameson
taunted. Tension hung in the air as he confronted his father.
