Chapter 320 Does Your Brother Have a Girlfriend?
Finally, Silas stopped in his tracks and examined her with a penetrating stare. âSo, when are you
going to stop hiding me in your closet?â Holding his hands, Camila swayed his arms and cajoled
him, âI'll explain it to George after I get home. I'm sure he will leave once he believes me.â
Silas pressed on, âWhat if he refuses to believe you? Are you going to break up with me because of
that? Camila, you have to make a choice between the two of us because it's inevitable that you will
have to hurt one of us!â South was so anxious when he heard that and his gaze shifted back and
forth between Silas and his mother. If the two were really going to break up, all his effort in playing
matchmaker for them would go down the drain.
Taking a glance at South who was looking edgy, Camila took a deep breath before she said, âI
understand that but even that's the case, I'd like to minimize the damage so that George can accept
our relationship gradually. I believe he's sensible enough to figure out everything himself and
accept the truth, but we have to give him some time to process the information. Silas, please believe
that I will be able to solve this!" In a calm voice, he countered, âIs doing everything he wishes your
way to solve it? Why did you agree to go back just because he asked you to? Do you still remember
your promise? Camila, if I continue to let you have your way, I'll only be torturing myself! Would you
do it if he were to ask you to break up with me?â Knitting her brows together, Camila was eager to
clarify herself, âSilas, please donât push me into making a decision and you're making me feel guilty
for some reason. I really have a valid reason why I'm doing this, but I have no time to tell you about
it now. Can I explain it to you tomorrow?â Silas stared at her morosely without a word because he
had no idea what to say. In fact, he did realize that he was greedy when it came to their relationship
because he was never content with what he had, and he was constantly asking for more from her. If
she had not agreed to be his girlfriend at all, she would not have to be put in such a quandary and
be so guilt-stricken. To be honest, he was so eager that he had started picturing his life with her in
the next ten years although he had yet to even pass his trial period as her boyfriend. Suddenly, he
heard a string of extremely light footsteps coming from the first floor. He first pulled Camila to a
more secluded corner before bending down to look in the direction of the first floor to find Ben and
Penny standing there. Looking panicked, Camila mouthed, âWho's there?â Silas answered her in the
same way, âGeorge.â At first, she wanted to haul him away to hide somewhere else but she was
stopped by
Silas, who deliberately raised his voice and said, âI'm sorry for asking you to be here at such a short
notice. As my grandfather fancies South a great deal, I just wanted the two of you to be here to
cheer him up. Perhaps your senior has gotten the wrong idea.â
Camila was sharp enough to understand what he was trying to do. Therefore, she too went along
with his statement by speaking politely, âIt's fine. In fact, I am the one who's supposed to say sorry
for almost going back on my promise to attend your grandfather's birthday celebration dinner.
George has always been a rigid person and he has always taken care of me like his daughter over
the years. South and I have
already gotten used to it.â
Silas said, âIt's good to have someone who cares about you. In this case, you should really explain
everything to him at home then!â âYes, heâs not being himself simply because heâs too worried
about us.â Silas said, âI'd love to see you stay for the birthday cake but I donât suppose George will
let you do that.â
Casting him an appreciative glance, Camila responded sleekly, âI'll visit you guys some other time!â
After she said that, they put an end to the show and continued their way to Old Man Nolan's room.
Meanwhile, George remained rooted to the spot as he wondered whether the
conversation they just had was true.
Why did he have a feeling that Silas wasn't interested in Camila at all?
He spun around and asked Penny, âDoes your brother have a girlfriend?â
Penny was thrilled to see George initiating a conversation with her considering that the man was so
aloof. It was the first sentence he had spoken to her ever since he stepped foot in the villa.
âI don't think he has one but he doesn't really share his private affairs with us. I know many of his
friends are women but I've never heard that he has a girlfriend. Seems like he isn't interested in any
of them.â
George frowned upon her statement and questioned, âWhy is that so?â
Penny elaborated, âHe once let a woman down several years ago and he's been looking for her ever
since. I think heâs not looking for a girlfriend because he's still waiting for her to be back!â
