Chapter 154 Never Live for Anyone Else Camila pointed at the stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs. “Mr. Nolan, please try this one. This one
tasted fine. I know because I’ve tried some.” Instead of saying delicious, she used the word ‘fine’
because she didn’t expect the food to be tasty to them. In the meantime, Silas only kept a straight face
and ate some of the scrambled eggs while Camila watched. “How does it taste?” she asked.
“Not bad.” Silas nodded. “It’s pretty good, actually. How come you said you’re bad at cooking? Your
dishes are fine.” Nevertheless, South meanly disclosed his mother’s secret and said, “Egg fried rice
and stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs are my mom’s specialty. If we don’t order takeout, Mom will
usually prepare either pasta, stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs, or egg fried rice.” Upon hearing her
son, Camila looked askance at him and replied, “Well, these three dishes are what keeps you fed most
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof the time. Aren’t you tall and handsome now anyway?” “Let’s just say I have better genes than you
do,” South blurted out, rendering Camila speechless. However, Silas was amused upon hearing that.
That’s right! Camila and her son both share the perfect gene. “Come to my place next time, South. All
you have to do is just tell me what your craving is, and your Uncle Silas will make it for you.”
Nonetheless, Camila replied in a defensive manner, “No thanks, we’ll be fine with the stores around
here. It’s pretty convenient actually.”
At the same time, Silas seemingly also noticed that Camila was afraid of staying in touch with him, thus
he comforted the lady and said, “It’s alright. I just want to thank South for doing me such a huge favor.
You both could visit me anytime, and I’ll promise to make anything you crave for.”
While Camila only treated those words as pleasantry, South shifted his eyes to his mother with
excitement and happiness.
“In that case, let me thank you with a toast, Mr. Nolan. You’ve helped me so much, like the time we
were in the hotel and the accident I was caught in. Honestly, I don’t know how I can thank you. So,
please let me know if there is anything I can help with in the future.”
Silas raised his glass and said, “Don’t worry about that. It’s the least I could do. If you’re keeping
scores, I’m going to have to thank you for saving my grandpa. Moreover, considering the huge favor
South just did me, we can go on and on forever.” In response, Camila smiled embarrassedly and
replied, “Alright then, maybe we should cut the pleasantries and be ourselves then. Come, let’s drink!”
While gazing at her, Silas chugged the wine in his glass whereupon he suddenly recalled Camila’s
glacial look in the hotel that day. Feeling sentimental, he said, “That’s right! That’s how you do it. Smile
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmore, and never live your life for anyone else.”
Silas’s words put a smile on Camila’s face. “Yeah, you’re right. I’m feeling a lot better now as I no
longer value people’s opinions before mine.” “Exactly. If you can’t get along with anyone, it’s not
necessarily your problem. In fact, you’re outstanding and exceptional to me, so you don’t have to give
two hoots about what people think of you,” Silas answered. Camila responded with a chuckle. “Yeah.
By the way, would you like to try this fish, Mr. Nolan? I haven’t tried it, but it looks pretty good.” Silas
replied, “Sure.” Since the first dish he tried was acceptable, he didn’t think much before taking a bite of
the meat. However, as soon as he put the flesh into his mouth, he sensed a weird taste that he wasn’t
able to describe. Concerned with Camila’s feelings, Silas swallowed it anyway and gritted his teeth
while saying, “l-It’s not bad!” Camila asked in surprise, “Really? Let me try some.” Then, she scooped
some of the fish and put it into her mouth. “Why does it taste so funny?” However, Silas chuckled
embarrassedly and said, “It’s fine. It’s just that every cook prepares it in a different way, so I guess I’ll
get used to it soon.” Meanwhile, Camila stared at the fish doubtfully, wondering why the recipe that
Kate gave her didn’t work.
