Widowhood.
Just a moment ago, Silas Norwood had felt a sliver of sympathy for his brother-in-law. But his beloved wife's words stunned him, leaving his mind blank for several seconds as his mood plummeted to rock bottom.
"Just like that, it's over." His eyes darkened, and his tone grew cold. "You certainly have no trouble letting go, do you, my dear wife?"
Even Kian Sterling, despite his own heavy heart, couldn't help but glance back at Silas Norwood with a derisive smirk.
Celia Sterling waited for what felt like an eternity, only to receive an ambiguous comment from Silas Norwood that made him sound like a jilted lover. Kian Sterling's reaction was just as hard to read. She couldn't help but press them. "Well? What do you two think?"
"Say what?" Kian Sterling retorted. "You've already made the decision for us. What answer did you expect?"
Celia Sterling abruptly stood up. "So, I'll just leave now?"
