Chapter 231 Two
As she was speaking, she even glanced at Silas in aggrievement.
Alex was shocked as well. If he were in Silas's shoes, he would have suspected that it was Aleena
who instigated it as well! Robin had always followed Aleenaâs order. It would be impossible for him
to have the courage to do that on his own accord! On top of that, Camila gave him a hard time that
day, so it would be impossible for him to have fallen in love with her; it would be more possible for
him to have wished to take revenge on her instead!
However, a wise person would turn a blind eye on this sort of matter since they didnât have any
evidence. Moreover, it would give each other some leeway as they were friends since childhood.
Therefore, her actions of bringing up this matter again today gave people the impression that she
was taking Silas for a fool! Silas sluggishly raised his eyes and darted her a look. âWasn't your cousin
the person who placed the blame on you? What, now? Are you asking me to investigate further into
this matter to prove your innocence?â
Aleena finally realized that she had talked too much, so she quickly replied, âNo, no. I know that that
incident had nothing to do with you. All I hope is for you to not be mad at me.â
He put on an indifferent expression as he scoffed, âHow would I have the courage to be mad at
you? I merely reflected on myself. As a friend, I think that I havenât done you any wrong all these
years, have 1?â She wore a smile. âNo. It was my fault. I'm also responsible for the incident that
involved Robin.â He raised his eyes and cast her a glance. âWe are adults, so we must be responsible
for our own faults-you shouldn't bear the responsibility if it wasn't your fault, but you shouldn't
avoid it if it was! Your repetitive explanation would only give people the impression that you're
feeling guilty!â The undercurrent in his words made Aleenaâs expression change. She awkwardly
stood in place without any idea on how to explain herself. Nicole walked up to her and held her arm
and uttered with a grin, âIt's alright. It was a thing in the past, and you have already clearly explained
the situation. Silas is not a narrow-minded person.â âYeah, let's drink. Young Master Nolan isn't done
drinking yet.â Alex immediately tried to retrieve the situation to prevent the atmosphere from
turning freezing cold!
Mlinolo uttered âThoro'no fun in lindrik
âSure. What game? How about a game of dice? The loser must drink,â Alex looked at Silas as he
spoke, which obviously showed that the latter was the decision-maker.
Silas suddenly thought of the time when he played this game with Camila. She wanted to win, but
she kept losing; he wanted to lose, but he kept winning even without trying His cold expression
slowly became warmer, and then he sat up straight. âAlright. Come on. The usual rules-let's see who
can roll the largest number. The person who loses drinks three glasses of beer. The player gets to
roll the dice again if they drink a glass. If the loser refuses to drink, they'd have to pay up-10,000 per
glass.â Alex couldn't suppress his laughter. âAre you trying to make up for your loss in relationship
through gambling?â Silas didnât deny. That was, in fact, what he had in mind. I bumped into
obstacles in my relationship, so I should be compensated with success in gambling.
âSure. No objection from me.â Alex was the first to agree.
Everyone else naturally agreed as well. Since they were all from wealthy families and were able to
hold their liquor, it would only be natural for them to join in on the fun. Alex got them some dice
cup set-one for each person-and the game began. Three glasses of beer had been prepared and
placed on the table. The first one to start the game was Silas. Perhaps due to the increase in the
number of people around him, or perhaps it was because they were playing a game familiar to him,
he began to feel warm in his heart. He seemed to be in a better mood than earlier. He shook the
dice in the dice cup before placing the cup upside down on the table with a thud. He took a glance
at the dice. The numbers shown enraged him so much that he inhaled sharply. 2? Is there any
number even smaller than 2? He looked at the others and found that everyone else was looking at
him as well. âDo you want to have another try?â He resignedly raised the glass in front of him and
drank the beer before swinging the dice cup again. Another round of dice rolling began. Thud!
When he put down the cup, he was sincerely hoping that he would get a larger number this time.
Perhaps earnest hoping would invite a return-he managed to attain a larger number this time.
Yeah. 3!
He closed the dice cup over the dice. With a calm expression, he asked, âCan the
