Chapter 168 Remember That I'm Waiting for You
Silas really liked Camila? She instinctively took a step back as confusion and fear etched across her
face. âE-Silas, are you joking with me?â Silas took a step forward. Camila instinctively took another
step back. Silas frowned at that as he reached out to grab her hand. Seeing that she was still
struggling, he pushed her against the wall and inched closer. Immediately, the distance between
them was reduced to none. Silas's voice was low and raspy, making her feel somewhat safe. âDonât
be afraid. I won't force you to accept me, but I just wanted to tell you how I feel. Camila, I really like
you!â Camila felt as if thousands of horses had just stomped past her chest. She didn't know why
her body reacted so uncontrollably. She was already a mother of a seven-year-old child and had
received tons of confession in the past. Was it really necessary to react this way? Camila instinctively
pushed him away. âL-Let go off me first.â Who in their right mind would press someone against the
wall and confess to them? This scenario seems more like a robbery, no? Silas backed away a little
before he asked with his raspy voice, âDo you have anything you want to ask me?â Camilaâs
dumbfounded mind started churning at that. âW-Why do you like me?â Hand in his pocket,
although he looked like he was trying to act cool, he still looked slightly out of place. âI'll answer this
formally. You're smart, gorgeous, and have an attitude. You're also a competent person, making you
an ideal girlfriend.â Camila frowned upon hearing his âformalâ answer. âIs there an informal version?â
âIf I tell you that I don't know why I like you, would you think that I'm just trying to brush you off? To
be honest, I'm unsure myself. I only know that I was quite embarrassed when I misunderstood you
initially, so I wanted to make it up to you. However, the more I know you, the more I realized that
you're so..." Silas suddenly lowered his head and chuckled before he looked up at her and said,
âAdorable!â Camila facepalmed. That word really didnât suit her at all. Even Camila herself didnât
think that she was cute. âMy emotions started to change along with yours. I could feel your
happiness, your
sadness. I can't control my temper when I see you getting wronged, and I want to tear apart those
who bullied you. I couldn't fall asleep after I heard that you like another man. I didn't want to
confess to you so soon because I wanted it to happen naturally when you finally fall in love with me
as well, but... I can't stand it anymore. I'm so terrified. I'm terrified that you might really fall in love
with another person.â
Silas stared at her intently. Then, he inched closer to her again.
Camila immediately straightened up her back and stared back at him. Overwhelmed by the
situation, she could feel her mind going blank again. Why couldn't this man just talk properly? Why
must he unleash all of his charisma? Camila shifted to the side as she struggled to get away from
the man before turning to him anxiously. âI don't like anyone, and I'm not planning to like anyone.
I'm thankful that you like me, but I don't think that we're suitable for each other. I'm not saying that
you're not a good person, but it's just that I'm not planning to look for a boyfriend right now. Well..
I'll be leaving now. South can sleep over at yours. I'll pick him up tomorrow.â Then, she turned
around and wanted to leave.
However, Silas reached out and dragged her back. He felt his heart aching when he saw her anxious
expression. Taking a deep breath, he consoled her, âCamila, don't be in a rush to reject me. I just
want you to know that I like you.â Silasâs voice was slow and soft. Even his movement when he
reached out to move her baby hair to the back of her ear was really gentle. âCamila, remember that
I'm waiting for you if you want a boyfriend one day!â Then, Silas took a step back. âSouth is already
asleep, so just let him sleep here. I'll send him back tomorrow.â
