Year Five The Perfect Goodbye Plan novel Chapter 114

He stared at Finn, still convinced that Finn was upset with him for not picking up the phone earlier.

“Finn, about what happened before—I’m sorry.” The smile faded from Shipley’s usually warm eyes, and he let out a quiet sigh. “I didn’t come here to talk about the project.”

“Then what are you doing here? Looking for Silvia?” Finn pressed, his voice laced with a hint of sarcasm.

Only now did Shipley realize something was off.

It suddenly struck him—was Finn mad at him because of Silvia?

Could it be that Silvia had told Finn about their time together?

But that didn’t quite add up. Why would Silvia tell anyone from the Ashford family about that?

Shipley pressed his lips together, forcing a faint smile. Testing the waters, he said, “Finn, I’m not here for Silvia. It’s work-related, that’s all, so I—”

“It’s better if you’re not here for her,” Finn cut in, jaw tightening, a flash of mockery in his eyes.

Once again, Finn held himself back.

Now Shipley was certain.

So, that’s it—Finn’s mad at him because of Silvia.

“Finn, whatever you’re thinking about me and Silvia—it’s not like that.” Shipley’s gaze dropped, his voice a little lower.

If Silvia had already told Finn about them, there was no point hiding anything now.

Maybe Sweet Silvia had done it on purpose, as a kind of signal.

She must want everyone to know about their relationship.

If this was what his Sweet Silvia wanted so desperately to tell him, he’d gladly indulge her.

At that thought, Shipley’s smile widened, and a spark of light returned to his eyes.
