Chapter 96 The Unhappy
South Silas frowned unhappily. âDonât follow me around. I have business to tend to.â Then, he told
Landon, âYou coming or not, Landon?â âOf course I am,â Landon replied. He told Old Man Nolan
that he would come another time and left the house behind them. Silence was their companion in
the car until Camila whispered to her son, who appeared to be unhappy, âWhat happened to you?â
Silas listened intently. If he was right, South didn't talk to him that much earlier. South was playing
with his phone. âNothing,â he said. âAre you upset?â Camila was curious. âNo.â South took a deep
breath.
Then, Silas interjected in an attempt to make conversation, âWhat's the story you told Great-
grandpa today, South?â âNothing,â South answered indifferently. Now even Landon could see he
was upset. What happened? He's fine in the afternoon, well, aside from him getting quiet after Zoe
came. Camila tried to cheer him up. âWe moved to a new place. It's just a hop, skip, and jump away
from Landonâs house. Do you like it?â That grabbed his attention, since he was a kid after all. âWhy
are we moving?â Camila replied calmly, âSo you can play the latest games Landon develops.â âRight.
It's just because you want him to take care of me at all times.â He pouted. âShh. Keep this between
us. We don't want him to hear that.â Landon looked annoyed. âAt least whisper when you talk about
secrets. Everyone and their mother could hear you.â South raised his chin. âWatch your tongue.â âI'm
just telling the truth,â Landon retorted. âMommy, Landon took me along and played until three in
the morning. I kept telling him I want to sleep, but he kept saying âlast gameâ every time.â South
even looked at Landon provocatively. âLandon!â Camila was going to hit him. âCan you be more
responsible? I thought I told you no all-nighters!â âNo, we didn't!" Landon dodged her hit and
pointed at South. âHey, we promised to keep this a secret.â
South grinned at him. âI'm just telling the truth.â
Pointing at him angrily, Landon declared, "You little snitch! No more new games for you!â
South crossed his arms and snorted. âDonât come to me if you run into any technical problems
then.â That made Camila feel amused. âFriendships end so easily.â Silas looked at them through the
rear-view mirror and felt that South was sulking. There was no reason for him to ignore Silas, and
even when Silas tried to start a conversation, South wasn't too enthused. After getting the groceries
and coming back to Muse Peninsula, they bumped into Kate, who had just arrived via taxi. Landon
looked at her and mocked, âAnd what brings you here?â She rolled her eyes. âNot for you, that's for
sure. Piss off.â âThis is my turf!â âNo! This is Camilaâs turf!â Landon was about to retort further, so she
pointed at him. âYou aren't going to say no, are you?â Then, Silas disembarked, and Kate panicked. I
knew someone important was here. No wonder Camila called me over. She changed into her polite
mode instantly and greeted, âHello, Mr. Nolan.â âHello.â Silas nodded. After some small talk, they
went into house Number 5901 of Block No. 3. When they entered, what greeted them was a huge
French window. The sun was setting now, and the light that sprinkled the house felt warm
