Chapter 66 Let's Have Hotpot
It's My Treat South grinned, snickering quietly. It was rare to see Camila looking embarrassed. Thus,
Silas couldnt hold back his laughter. âI guess it wasn't easy for you to survive this long.â South
murmured vaguely, âThat's right. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends. Otherwise, I might have died of
hunger or froze to death by now. Still, I know Mommy didn't do it on purpose. According to
Mommy's senior, it's a miracle she hasn't accidentally killed herself.â
Upon hearing that, Silas couldn't help roaring with laughter. On the other hand, Camilaâs expression
immediately turned murderous, and she fiercely threatened, âSouth Brooklyn! Haven't you been
eating my cooking daily recently? If you continue talking nonsense, you won't get dinner tonight.â
South pouted and said innocently, âBut, I didn't say that! I was just repeating what your senior said!
Mommy, you can't pick on me just because your senior isn't here!â She was sweating bullets. âWhen
did I ever pick on you? You are the one tattling about all my shortcomings!â He retorted, âYou
threatened me with dinner!â Then, she glared at him. âWell, why don't you go and look for those
friends of yours? You were brought up by those friends of yours after all. It won't matter whether
you have dinner or not.â Thus, South turned to look at Silas. âUncle Silas, will you treat me to dinner
tonight?â Silas laughed. âSure, I'll treat you both to dinner.â âSouth Brooklyn, that Uncle Silas of
yours is my friend.â Camila glared at South. In response, South puffed out his cheeks, pouting as he
lowered his head to eat. âThen, I better eat more now, seeing as I won't be eating tonight.â She was
a little speechless. I'm starting to notice that it's getting harder and harder for me to control this
little b*stard. However, Silas's expression was filled with warmth. He liked the way they interacted
with each other-it was very nice. Reaching out, he ruffled South's little head. âYou are a boy. Boys
need to take good care of girls; do you understand?â Then, he leaned over and whispered, âRight
now, your wings are still growing. So, you need to scheme and act docile for the sake of getting
three meals a day. It's not wise to offend your parents who feed and clothe you!â Camila was utterly
speechless. I can hear everything, okay? What is with this method of education? South smiled
widely. âI understand.â After that, he obediently turned toward her and
said, âMommy, I was wrong. You are the best mommy in the world!â She said nothing. Why do I feel
so embarrassed?! Silas smiled. Then, he slowly put all the items they ordered into the hotpot. He
was very particular about how long each item should be cooked. Therefore, he was very clear about
which item should go in first, and which item should go in later. In the end, Camila decided not to
continue struggling against them anymore. Well, if I'm bad at taking care of others, then so be it. I'm
just going to be a carefree little glutton, okay?
Not far away, a woman secretly took a picture of them and sent the photo to Nicole through
WhatsApp. Along with the photo was a message saying, âNicole, I saw Silas. He's eating with a
woman and a child. Look; is that a relative of his?" Soon, she received a reply. âThat's the doctor that
helped cure Silas's grandpa! âOh; if I didn't know any better, I'd have thought they were a family of
three! âTake another picture and be sure to choose an angle where it isn't too obvious that it's them
in the background. Then, post it up on Instagram.â Nicole sent another message in reply.
The woman immediately understood her intentions. Thus, she turned sideways and took a selfie,
including Silas and Camila in the picture while she was at it. Although it wasn't too obvious, they
could clearly be seen in the photo if it were enlarged. Posting it up on Instagram, she wrote a
caption under it: âLet's Have Hotpot; It's My Treat". In this digital era, two mutual friends can make a
photo viral very quickly. Thus, the photo became a trending topic among their friend circles in the
blink of an eye. It was no secret how difficult it was to approach Silas Nolan. Aside from Alex, even
the friends he grew up with didn't dare to joke around with him. Therefore, the photo of him eating
with a woman-especially since it was a woman with a child-instantly became sensational news.
Everybody thought that the woman was quite amazing to be able to get so close to Silas.
As a result, the photo was reshared several times, and Aleena saw the photo too.
