Chapter 154 Never Live for Anyone Else
Camila pointed at the stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs. âMr. Nolan, please try this one. This
one tasted fine. I know because I've tried some.â Instead of saying delicious, she used the word âfineâ
because she didn't expect the food to be tasty to them. In the meantime, Silas only kept a straight
face and ate some of the scrambled eggs while Camila watched. âHow does it taste?â she asked.
âNot bad.â Silas nodded. âIt's pretty good, actually. How come you said you're bad at cooking? Your
dishes are fine.â Nevertheless, South meanly disclosed his mother's secret and said, âEgg fried rice
and stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs are my mom's specialty. If we don't order takeout, Mom
will usually prepare either pasta, stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs, or egg fried rice.â Upon
hearing her son, Camila looked askance at him and replied, âWell, these three dishes are what keeps
you fed most of the time. Aren't you tall and handsome now anyway?" âLet's just say I have better
genes than you do,â South blurted out, rendering Camila speechless. However, Silas was amused
upon hearing that. That's right! Camila and her son both share the perfect gene. âCome to my place
next time, South. All you have to do is just tell me what your craving is, and your Uncle Silas will
make it for you.â Nonetheless, Camila replied in a defensive manner, âNo thanks, we'll be fine with
the stores around here. It's pretty convenient actually.â
At the same time, Silas seemingly also noticed that Camila was afraid of staying in touch with him,
thus he comforted the lady and said, âIt's alright. I just want to thank South for doing me such a
huge favor. You both could visit me anytime, and I'll promise to make anything you crave for.â
While Camila only treated those words as pleasantry, South shifted his eyes to his mother with
excitement and happiness.
âIn that case, let me thank you with a toast, Mr. Nolan. You've helped me so much, like the time we
were in the hotel and the accident I was caught in. Honestly, I don't know how I can thank you. So,
please let me know if there is anything I can help with in the future.â
Silas raised his glass and said, âDonât worry about that. It's the least I could do. If you're keeping
scores, I'm going to have to thank you for saving my grandpa. Moreover, considering the huge
favor South just did me, we can go on and on forever.â In response, Camila smiled embarrassedly
and replied, âAlright then, maybe we should cut the pleasantries and be ourselves then. Come, let's
drink!â While gazing at her, Silas chugged the wine in his glass whereupon he suddenly recalled
Camilaâs glacial look in the hotel that day. Feeling sentimental, he said, âThat's right! That's how you
do it. Smile more, and never live your life for anyone else.â
Silas's words put a smile on Camilaâs face. âYeah, you're right. I'm feeling a lot better now as I no
longer value people's opinions before mine.â âExactly. If you can't get along with anyone, it's not
necessarily your problem. In fact, you're outstanding and exceptional to me, so you don't have to
give two hoots about what people think of you,â Silas answered. Camila responded with a chuckle.
âYeah. By the way, would you like to try this fish, Mr. Nolan? I haven't tried it, but it looks pretty
good.â Silas replied, âSure.â Since the first dish he tried was acceptable, he didn't think much before
taking a bite of the meat. However, as soon as he put the flesh into his mouth, he sensed a weird
taste that he wasn't able to describe. Concerned with Camilaâs feelings, Silas swallowed it anyway
and gritted his teeth while saying, âI-It's not bad!â Camila asked in surprise, âReally? Let me try
some.â Then, she scooped some of the fish and put it into her mouth. âWhy does it taste so funny?â
However, Silas chuckled embarrassedly and said, âIt's fine. It's just that every cook prepares it in a
different way, so I guess I'll get used to it soon.â Meanwhile, Camila stared at the fish doubtfully,
wondering why the recipe that Kate gave her didn't work.
