Chapter 230 Nicole and Aleena
He had a shred of exhaustion on his expression, and his tone was sluggish. âWhen have I not been
serious?â Hayden added, âNo. Silas, Camila has a child.â Silas exclaimed, âI don't care!â A slight
hesitation was found in Hayden's expression. âYou can choose not to care, but can the Nolan Family
accept her?â Silasâs tone carried a hint of arrogance. âDo I need to be concerned about their
opinions?â Both Alex and Hayden knew the situation in the Nolan Family-the family only seemed
harmonious on the surface. With Old Man Nolan in power now, the family members were more
constrained. If Old Man Nolan were to pass away one day, nobody could tell how chaotic the Nolan
Family would become. Silas indeed didnât need to listen to anybody. But if he really married a
woman who had a child, this news might probably create an uproar among the upper-class social
circle.
Before they managed to come to their senses from the shocking news, the door of their private
room was pushed open. Two women entered from outside-Aleena and Nicole.
"We have just arrived and heard that you guys were here, so we thought to come over to say hello.
Why are only the three of you here?â Nicole smiled as she asked. Alex smiled. âRight. The upright
and noble Young Master Nolan didn't allow me to get someone here to accompany us. Are there
only the two of you here? Or do you have friends? If you guys are alone, you can come and join us!â
This was exactly what Nicole had wished for. âNo, there's just the two of us.â After saying that, she
walked up to the couch.
Silas's brows were slightly furrowed, but he didnât say anything. Alex immediately handed them two
glasses. âThat's great. Young Master Nolan wants to drink today.
The two of you should drink together with him; we have had enough!â Nicole took the glass and
smiled as she replied, âSure. I think that it has been quite some time since I last saw Silas. What have
you been busy with recently?â As she was speaking, she raised the glass at Silas and gestured at
him. He naturally took a sip and replied half-heartedly, âWork!â Aleena was not as natural as Nicole
was. As a matter of fact, since they parted ways in this room previously, she had been lacking the
courage to look for him. Of course, she missed him, but she was sad as well. She couldn't forget his
heartlessness, nor she could figure out what kind of charm Camila had to make him fall so hard for
her to the extent where he was willing to put everyone else after her.
In fact, Aleena had been keeping an eye on him all the while. It was the grand opening of Camilaâs
studio that day. When she deliberately drove past their door, she saw him draping a jacket on her
with a gentle expression and kept her accompanied under the cold wind. That scene was really
irritating. She could barely resist the urge to dash out from the car to ask him how a used woman
like Camila would be a good match to him. However, after she considered the consequences of this
action, she arrived at a conclusion that Silas would surely be mad at her; he would be biased toward
Camila and would certainly blame her. This might even ruin the little possibility of them getting
together. Therefore, she tried her best to suppress herself and hold back the urge to get out of the
car. Judging by the current situation, she found her effort worth it. Sure enough, patience is the key
to success. I've finally waited until they broke up. Separation is bound to come after a long-period
union-this is a never-changing truth! No matter how deeply he is in love with her, there will certainly
be a day when they break up!
Upon having such thoughts, she felt relieved. Raising her glass, she gestured at Silas. âSilas, let's
have a toast. Let bygones be bygones. Please forgive me for all my past mistakes.â He sat on the
couch and peered at her. âYou are overstating it. We are both adults, so all we need to do is to be
responsible for our past actions.â As he spoke, he didn't put her in a spot; he raised his glass and
drank together with her. Alex had a smirk on his corner of his lips. âStop beating around the bush.
What do you mean by forgiving your past actions? Just tell us straight!â
Aleena cast a glance at Silas. Seeing that he didn't give any response, she felt a little aggrieved, so
she answered, âIt was my cousin, Robin. After he met Miss Brooklyn, he told me that he had fallen in
love with her. So, I encouraged him and asked him to court her if he fancied her. However, before
he managed to get her to like him, he forced himself on her. But Silas thought that it was me who
asked him to do so...
