Chapter 189 Camila, What Are You Afraid of?
After that, he left the dining room and started playing with his tablet on the sofa in the living room.
Silas lowered his eyes and smiled to himself. My brat of a son is really thoughtful! Camila opened
her mouth to tell South to play his games in the dining room. Hey, don't let me sit here all alone
with this man! This is really awkward. However, that little brat scurried away quickly as if he was
afraid that she would stop him.
Without saying anything, Silas gave her some time to adapt to the situation. Then, he put another
shrimp on Camilaâs plate. Camila thanked him. âI can peel them myself.â With a scorching gaze, Silas
looked at her and said, âIt's not the first time we're meeting each other. Why are you so polite? Just
make yourself at home here. There's no need to be so formal.â I do want to be less formal. However,
I don't know why but I'm suddenly a little afraid of him! Seeing that she was silent, Silas asked, "Did
my confession that day bother you?" Camila raised her eyes and looked at him. Although she didn't
speak, the expression in her eyes clearly said yes. Lifting the corners of his lips, Silas looked at her
with a hint of charm. âIf I've affected your mood, then I guess you're not as indifferent as you
seem?â Annoyed, Camila glared at him. âYou're talking nonsense!â
Gazing intently at her, Silas didnât say anything else. A wicked smile played at the corner of his
mouth. Like a hunting leopard, he dominated her with that faint aura of his. Regardless of whether
she was flustered or calm, he remained as still as a stone.
Camila realized that she had lost her composure. Why was I so flustered? It's obvious that this man
just wants to see me making a fool out of myself. If I get upset, doesnât that indirectly justify what
he said to be true?
I'm really not qualified to teach Kate how to deal with relationships. Look at me failing so badly!
âIt's because your confession that caused our relationship to become a little awkward. I didnât know
how to respond to you so as not to hurt our friendship!â
In a serious manner, she emphasized the word âfriendshipâ. Silas drew in a breath of annoyance.
Looking at her flustered expression, it was obvious that she was not as indifferent as she pretended
to be, yet she was still
stubborn about it. âIf you're just friends with me, then why do you feel awkward? Camila, what are
you afraid of?â Camila took a deep breath and stared directly at him. âI'm not afraid. I'm just not
used to someone disturbing me and my son's lives!â Silas gave up. âFine. You're pretty, so you have
the final say!â Camila was slightly startled. His compromise had caused her to feel even more
awkward now. Silas didn't want to force her. He couldn't bear to do it. She was like a pure white
boat that had its own rhythm and pace. In any case, she couldn't escape him. Therefore, he
deliberately changed the topic, âDid you find out who sent the money tree today?â
Camila felt much more relaxed at the change in topic. âGeorge!â
Silas was a little surprised. âIsn't George a TCM doctor?â
âYeah, but he also has a diamond business that he started with his friends,â Camila said.
Silas nodded in understanding. No wonder he was so generous. After dinner, Camila offered to
clean up. It won't be appropriate to eat his food and let him clean it up himself, right? âLeave them.
Someone will come to clean up tomorrow.â âIt's okay. I can't cook, but I can clean,â Camila said.
With that, she got up and went to the kitchen to clean up. As Silas looked at the busy figure in the
kitchen, he felt warmth in an instant. âYou also make delicious food.â Camila chuckled. âSilas, are you
even listening to yourself?â âI'm being serious,â Silas said. âAre you sure the stuff I prepared is
delicious? I dare not say so.â Camila then added with a laugh, âWhen I was living with Katie,
whenever I made something, I would always say âOh, this isn't that bad. It's edible!"
