Chapter 18 Instigating Discord Is Quite a Technical Job
Originally, South was supposed to start attending school today. However, he was injured. So, Camila
took him to school in the morning to register, then brought him home.
As soon as they arrived home, the doorbell rang. Thus, Camila got up to open the door, only to see
Miles standing at the doorway with several bags of stuff in his hands.
Her expression immediately darkened. âWhat are you doing here?â On the other hand, Miles had a
huge smile plastered on his face. âCamila, I'm sorry. I came over to visit you. Yesterday, Lyla took
that attitude with you because she was trying to get back at you for all the grievances I suffered in
the past. As an adult, please don't take offense to her actions. To be honest, w-we really missed you
throughout all these years.â
âThat's enough. If you want to show off how lovey-dovey you are, do it someplace else. Don't come
and make me sick. After rolling in the sheets with Lyla behind my back, what grievances did you
suffer?â Upon hearing those words, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out, âHow did you
know we were together?â Her gaze was as sharp as knives as she stared unblinkingly at the man
before her. âSeven years ago, I witnessed it myself. It was Lyla who deliberately left the door open
for me to see. That night, she gave me a glass of wine before I met up with you for our date. But in
fact, she slipped something into the wine. She planned everything, including what happened to me
afterward! Miles Ryan, don't you find it terrifying? That woman sleeping right next to you is such a
vicious and callous woman!â He was utterly shocked, and his mind went blank-so much so that he
couldn't even think. Then, he anxiously said, âCamila, truth be told, I don't love Lyla at all. Don't you
find it pitiful that we were kept apart for so many years because of her calculative plans? I can
divorce Lyla; I don't even mind that you have a child. Please, give me another chance. Let's get back
together again, okay?â Originally, Camila wanted to sow discord between Miles and Lyla. She
wanted him to go back and raise hell with Lyla while she sat on the sidelines and watched. But... this
is turning out to be a job that requires a specific skillset and expertise. She was feeling so disgusted
by him that she had layers and layers of goosebumps all over her body. Not only did I not manage
to instigate anything between them, but I also nearly disgusted myself to death. Therefore, she
shoved at him with all her might. âGet out of here!â However, he took the opportunity to grab her
hand. âCamila, I've always loved you. I
know I made a mistake. Please give me another chance for us to get back together again.â
As he spoke, he forced his body inside, trying to hug her. In the end, he was still a man. No matter
how hard Camila struggled against him, she couldn't break free from his grasp. Thus, she shouted
angrily, âF*ck off!â At that moment, a tall and large figure flashed by. Grabbing Miles by the back
collar of his shirt, he pulled him back and threw a punch at him. After that, Miles fell to the ground.
When Camila realized who it was, she was extremely surprised. âWhy are you here?â Silas glanced
over at Camila. The anger was not completely gone from his face, but his voice was much gentler.
"Are you okay?â She took a deep breath. âI'm okay.â Then, he shot a glare at Miles, and his gaze was
frigid. âAre you going to leave? Or do you want to continue taking a beating?â She chimed in, âIf
you don't get lost right now, I'm going to call Lyla. Do you want me to do that?â
Thus, Miles took a deep breath. âFine. I know that you're finding it difficult to accept right now, but
everything I said is sincere. I'll come back another day.â After saying that, he left. Subsequently, the
corridor fell silent. They glanced at each other and found the atmosphere too awkward to say
anything. In the end, Camila broke the silence. âMr. Nolan, thank you for just now.â âIt's nothing,â
Silas said. Then, he glanced at South, who was standing inside the house. âAre you alright?â At first,
South had been recording everything inside the house. Then, he saw his dad's cool side as soon as
he came out. Hence, he was very satisfied at the sight of his dad acting like a hero and saving a
damsel in distress. Pretending to limp as he walked over to Silas, he put on a pitiful and cute act.
âUncle Silas, my knee hurts.â Silas had already noticed the gauze wrapping around the little guy's
knee. Scowling fiercely, his expression became very solemn. Then, he walked over, bent down, and
carried him in his arms. âLet me see.â He wanted to check the wound. However, South furrowed his
little brows and blocked Silasâs hand from touching his wound. He said in a distressed voice, âDon't
touch it, Uncle Silas. It hurts...â Camila was appalled by the scene in front of her. This little b*stard is
pretending! He is deliberately acting pitiful! His wound isnât that serious! Besides, he didn't make a
single complaint just now. He clearly has taken a liking to Silas and is intentionally
making Silas feel bad for him. South's eyes sparkled. âUncle Silas, did you come here looking for
Mommy? Then, why don't you come inside and have a seat?â While saying that, he deliberately
limped and led Silas into the house by the hand. Camilaâs almond-shaped eyes widened into circles.
She gave that sly little b*stard a warning glare. Just who do you think you are to invite him into the
house?! To her surprise, that little b*stard didn't even spare her a glance. On the other hand, Silas
looked at her inquiringly. Therefore, Camila smiled brightly and bit the bullet, saying, âMr. Nolan,
why don't you come inside and have a cup of tea?â
