Chapter 334 Refuse to Go
Meanwhile in Muse Peninsula, Camila and George had been sitting on the sofa for quite some time
but none of them spoke. They had negotiated with each other for hours but they failed to come to
an agreement. George was worried about letting Camila stay alone in the country. Although he had
gathered that Silas didn't seem to have feelings for her, his intuition told him that Silas was
important to her.
Even if Silas didnt like Camila now, it was uncertain that it would remain that way.
Therefore, he asked Camila to return to the country with him so he could take care of her in person.
However, how could Camila agree to that? If he had asked her two weeks earlier, she would have
returned with him but now that she had Silas, how could she go back? That man had endured so
much for her so how could she abandon him and go with George? If she did that, he would
definitely go mad.
It didn't actually matter if Silas would let her leave or not because she herself wouldn't be willing to
Therefore, she listed out reasons why she couldnât go back with George from her career
development, her feelings to how she wished to be in her home country.
In return, George attacked her conscience and used her seniors and juniors to guilt-trip her. He even
made a thorough analysis of the benefits and advantages that she would have if she went back with
him.
In the end, no one convinced the other so they were in a deadlock.
Taking a puff of his cigarette, smoke spiraled upward and shrouded George's handsome face.
Actually, he seldom smoked unless he was extremely frustrated. Usually, nothing could bring him
down and he always kept a cool head. This situation must be difficult for him.
He couldn't free himself from concern if he allowed her to stay here, but she refused to go with him.
On the other hand, Camila was upset about this situation too but she didn't have any better
solutions.
She didnât mean to hurt anyone but Silas was right that it was impossible to have it both ways and
protect both of their feelings. She just hoped that they wouldn't be startled by the truth and could
accept it.
She could differentiate the feelings she had for George and Silas.
Although she wasn't sure how far she and Silas would go, she knew that no matter what, George
would always be her family. Otherwise, she would've fallen in love with George long ago! Stubbing
out the cigarette in the ashtray, George looked up at Camila. âDo you have to make me use our
promise?â Camila knitted her brows. âGeorge, why do you have to force me? You know clearly that
my studio has just started to operate and South has just gotten used to attending school here.
We're really comfortable now so I don't feel like making any changes.â George took a deep breath.
âI really regret letting you come back.â Back then, he shouldn't have acted nobly and generously. He
should have been selfish and stopped them from coming back. Camila understood what George
was worried about but she didnât have the courage to tell the man, who not only loved her for seven
years but was her son's savior too, that she had fallen in love with another man.
She knew that she shouldn't have but she couldn't control her feelings. It didn't matter how much
effort he had put in or how early he had appeared in her life because one had to be in the right
place at the right time and with the right person, just like when it came to her and Silas. She had
always thought that she was heartless and wouldn't fall in love with anybody. But at that specific
moment, she agreed to be his girlfriend. She fell in love with him because of how happy he would
be when she was happy about the smallest of things, and how gently he looked at her and South.
George wasn't inferior to anyone. In fact, he was so perfect that she felt burdened with guilt and
didn't even dare to tell him the truth!
"George, you're my brother and my teacher, and you'll always be the most important person in my
heart. I know that you're concerned for me but I want to settle down. I admit that I lied to you today
but I couldn't reject him because Old Man Nolan is extremely pitiful. He has many maids around
him but heâs actually lonely. South went with me twice and Old Man Nolan likes him, so Silas asked
South and I to attend the party because he wanted his grandpa to have a blessed birthday. I didn't
mean to hide it from you, but I was just afraid that you would be unhappy to know Silas and I are
close. However, you don't have to worry because Silas has a lot of admirers and he takes care of his
friends. Since I'm his grandfather's savior, he won't let others hurt me.â
