Chapter 157 Give This to Brian
Soon, Silas rolled the dice again and got seven pips this time. Although the odds seemed to be in
the manâs favor, Camila reckoned she still stood a chance to get a number larger than seven. Then,
she took a peek at the dice. Oh, I can see ten pips; I think I'll take the chance. Upon lifting the dice
cup, Camila finally emerged victorious as she pointed at the glasses with wine on the table and said
to Silas. âNow, it's your turn to drink.â
Despite his defeat this round, Silas was still glad to see the lady rejoice in the game. âNo, I'm not
going to drink.â Camila was stunned by his answer while the alcohol took a toll on her head. âWhat?
How can you do that?â Unhappy with that, she pointed at him and questioned, âAre you trying to
cheat?â
âNo, I just want to share a secret with you instead,â Silas held her fingers and said, but Camila took
her hand off and replied, âAlright, fire away.â Upon noticing the lady's reaction, Silas was frustrated
yet amused. Even though he was tipsy, he could still think straight.
âI'm in love with someone.â
"Yeah, you've said that before.â Camila nodded her head
âDo you want to know who that is?â Silas sounded like he was trying to coax a little
girl, but Camila was just slightly tipsy, not dumb. After pondering for a moment, she knew
something was not right with the man before her. â.... don't want to know!" Camilaâs reply rendered
Silas speechless and got him wondering whether she was really drunk. âTell me another secret!â
Camila said, leaving Silas disappointed. Why does she always keep her guard up against others? Or
is she only doing that to me? âWhat would you like to know then?â âTell me about your brother,â
Camila responded after thinking for a moment.
"Are you interested in him?â Silas asked as his heart sank.
Camila stared at Silas with a smile and slowly nodded her head while the latter only took a deep
breath in confusion. What does she mean? Does she mean she likes Brian? While Camila propped
her chin with her hand, Silas exchanged gazes with her, feeling his breath taken away by her
enchanting gaze, as if no man was capable of resisting her seductive beauty. I think she must be
drunk because she doesn't usually look at me like that. âWhat is it that you'd like to know about
him?" Silas gulped and asked. âIs he always alone?â Camila uttered after a brief contemplation.
âYeah, I think so,â Silas answered.
Camila sympathetically replied, âHe is a poor little dude without anyone else to lean on, just like me.
Oh yeah. Give me a moment.â She then staggered to her feet and walked away. Worried that she
might fall, Silas followed right behind her and saw her heading to the living room, where she took a
candy box from a small cabinet. Upon seeing that, he felt like a dog with two tails, happy with the
surprise she had prepared him as he recalled the time he was disappointed when the lady bought
Brian some candies. Although it was he who made the first move this time, he was still glad that she
could remember his words. Soon, she passed the candy box to Silas, but before the man could
continue to rejoice, she blurted out, âGive this to Brian.â Then, Camila returned to the dining area,
leaving Silas speechless and nonplussed. So, this box of candies isn't for me but for Brian? Yet, I felt I
was on top of the world a few seconds ago. In that instant, Silas was overwhelmed by a sting of pain
as he stared at Camilaâs eyes pitifully. She's only met Brian a few times, and she is already so
concerned about him. âSo, you want me to give this to Brian?" he asked, refusing to give up.
Camila nodded and replied, âI think Brian cares a lot about you. So, if you give this to him, he is
going to be so happy.â However, Silas only responded with a glacial smile without saying a single
word. So, this is all about Brian, all about making him happy. What about me? Does she not care
about me at all?
