Chapter 188 At Least Youâve Tried
Silas looked like he was paying attention to the shrimps he was peeling, but in fact, he was observing Camilaâs expressions. Watching her relaxing her brows in a contented manner, he felt that doof food could attract women too. Thinking of this, the corner of his lips curved up uncontrollably. Then he put a peeled shrimp on Camilaâs plate. While holding his plate, South was staring at the shrimp in his fatherâs hands. He thought that this must be for him. After all, Mommy had been served soup. But after a long time of staring expectantly at Silas, the peeled shrimp ended up on his motherâs plate without any hesitation at all. Ugh, true love wins after all! Iâm just an accident they had! South sighed. Oh well, whatever. As long as Daddy can win over Mommy quickly, itâll be a load off my back. Silas peeled the shrimps as fast as he could and delivered the second one directly onto his sonâs plate. Seeing that both mother and son had already eaten their shrimps, Silas felt an unusual sense of satisfaction. This feeling had never arisen in so many years. These two were the closest people to him, even more than his brother! After eating for a while, Camila finally felt half-full. She suddenly remembered what Silas said in the elevator, so she raised her head and asked, âYou said youâve something to tell me. What is it?â Silas was stunned at the question. Something to tell her? I was just worried that she wouldnât come over. But at this moment, he had to find an excuse. âI saw you staring at Landon and his girlfriend today. You look like youâre scheming against them.â Camila raised her eyes, a little surprised. âHow did you see through me?â âKate likes Landon?â Silas asked. Camila was even more astonished now. âAre you a mind reader?â Silas chuckled. âItâs not that hard to guess.â However, Camila was in awe of him. âThe uncle is indeed much more perceptive than the nephew. Your nephew has been friends with Katie for seven or eight years now but still isnât aware that she likes him. Iâm truly amazed at his denseness!â Silas asked, âWhy not tell her to confess her love directly to him?â
Camila blurted out without thinking, âNot every confession will have a happy ending.â These words seemed to remind Silas about what happened the other day, causing him to fall silent suddenly. His expression was a little unnatural as he looked at her.
Camila almost bit off her tongue in regret. What am I even saying? She was about to change the topic when Silas spoke up, âIf you donât even try, how can you know if it will have a happy ending or not? If you tried and failed, at least you wonât regret anything. If he happens to like her too, wonât everyone be happy?â This time it was Camilaâs turn to be embarrassed. She put down her fork and explained, âActually, Katie told Landon about it before, but Landon said he doesnât like her. Today when Melanie told Katie about her relationship with Landon, Katie was triggered by it.â Silas nodded in understanding. He didnât want to participate in Landonâs matters of the heart. After all, he still hadnât resolved his own relationship issues. He really didnât have the time to meddle in othersâ business. But Camila was still thinking about the matter and continued, âActually, I feel that Landon shouldnât be so insensitive to Katie.
Maybe the distance between them is too close and they are too familiar with each other. Perhaps theyâre so close that neither of them would think that one is romantically interested in the other. But then, itâs their relationship, so we as outsiders canât very well intervene in it. Iâll tell Katie to ignore him for a period of time to see how Landon is gonna react. Will you please betray him
Camila was slightly startled by his words. Why does it feel like heâs flirting with me? South glanced at Silas and Camila, then put down his fork and spoon. âIâm full now. Iâm going to play games!â
