Chapter 365 No Second Chances
Dragged by South until they were about to pass Gael, Camila finally stopped. âSouth,
wait!â
South pouted unhappily. Looking at Gael, Camila realized that he had become much older than
before. In fact, he looked like he had aged a lot compared to the first time they met after seven
years. He had gray hair, and he didn't look as energetic as before. Looking at him, tears welled up in
Camilaâs eyes. âWhat's up?â A lump formed in Gaels throat. âSilas has let Brooklyn Company off the
hook. I knew you had definitely put in a lot of good words for me, so I just wanted to come over to
thank you.â Camila merely replied, âThat's good.â Giving her a nod, he said, âI'll leave now.â
Camila frowned and called out, âWait...â
Gael stopped his footsteps and turned around to look at her blankly with a pair of eyes that had
moisture in them.
âCamila, I'm an old fool now. I'd done many things to hurt you in the past, but I'm not asking for
your forgiveness; I just hope you are not too angry with me. My little grandson said that you would
be sad for a few days every time I visit. It's not worth it to be sad because of a selfish person like me.
I'm off now, and I won't disturb you anymore!â
With that, he turned around to leave. Still frowning, Camila asked, âWhy do you take a child's words
so seriously?â Gael merely shook his head. âIt's something even a kid knows, but I only figured it out
today. South is very smart, and he loves you a lot. His words completely brought me back to my
senses. Indeed, I'd been giving you a hard time. I'll leave you to live out your lives peacefully. If you
need my help, just give me a call.â With that, he walked out of the room.
This time around, Camila didnât stop him, as she didn't know what to say to him. Can I really let go
of everything that happened in the past?
I'm not that gracious-at least I canât do that now. In fact, seeing Gael in this way, Camila also felt
rather sad. It might have been better if he had scolded me instead.
As she was still looking at him, she had an impulse to run to him and pull him back, calling him âdadâ
and telling him, âDon't feel sad. I donât mind about everything that
happened in the past!â However, she merely stood at the entrance of the studio while watching his
figure getting further away. Then, she felt a small, soft hand holding hers, and she looked over.
South looked at her with a worried expression on his face. âDonât be sad, Mommy.â Camila
remained silent and watched Gael's disappearing figure until he was gone before she retracted her
gaze. âWhat did you tell him?â Looking at Camilaâs gaze, South looked slightly awkward. âI just can't
stand him bullying you every time, so I told him that I donât want him to meet you, because you will
feel sad after that!â
Camila did not blame him. Instead, she ruffled his hair. âDonât worry about me next time. I'm an
adult-1 can settle my own matters.â South put his hands in his pockets with a cool expression on his
face. In an indignant tone, he asked, âYou don't believe that I can help you?â Camila laughed out
loud. âI believe you! You're the best, son! But he is my father after all; we can't treat him like he's our
enemy.â South pouted. âI have already let him go for your sake many times. But I also warned him
that if he bullies you anymore, I won't go easy on him next time.â Hearing this, Camila was
speechless and exasperated at the same time. âLet it be and stop picking on him, alright?â South
merely snorted arrogantly. âI don't give second chances here!â Camila clicked her tongue and
wanted to add on to her point, but South had run away. âLet's order some food delivery for lunch!â
In the evening, since Silas had promised Camila to make dumplings for dinner, he went to her house
directly after work. âYou're so early today.â He replied, âI have nothing much to do, and we are
making dumplings, aren't we? In that case, we'll have to go to the supermarket first.â
