PopularNovelChapter 319 An Unexpected Visitor But since he was already inside, he was determined to bring her away with him.
Speaking in a tone as level as usual, he questioned, “Didn’t you tell me that Marcus wanted to meet up
with you for a favor? Where’s he now?”
Stiffly, Camila squeezed out a smile and answered, “A-After i parted ways with Marcus, I received a call
from Mr. Nolan who invited me to attend Master Merlin’s birthday dinner. So, I came over here right
after that.” Still wearing a poker-faced expression, George went along with her instead of exposing her
lies. “Since you’ve already given him his gift, I think it’s about time you go back home since South has
to wake up early for school tomorrow.” Camila didn’t even make an effort to argue with him as she
agreed to go immediately, “Okay.”
Just as she was keeping away her belongings, her arm was grabbed by someone all of a sudden.
She spun around and found it was Silas, who was wearing an extremely glum expression with his eyes
looking frighteningly frigid. At that moment, he felt an overwhelming desire to just spill the beans to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGeorge. Yet, when he noticed the anxiety on Camila’s face and the stares she was constantly throwing
at him, he decided to suppress the raging fury in him. Horrified to see him holding her arm, Camila tried
to wiggle out of his hold gently while speaking politely at the same time, “Mr. Nolan, we shall get going
now since it’s getting late.” Silas, who refused to let her go, stared at George with hostility in his eyes.
“Mr. Parsons, are you here just to pick her up?” George met his gaze calmly. While the two men were
secretly having a stare down, their voices remained calm and collected as if whoever lost it first would
be deemed the loser.
“You may think of it that way.” “So, did you actually know that she was going to be here long before
this?” “Yes I did because I followed her here.” George decided to come clean. Staring at George with a
look of utter consternation, Camila’s heart sank when she heard that because it meant he knew that the
explanation she offered just now was a lie. He had indeed followed her here! Secretly, she tugged at
Silas’s shirt to stop him from asking more questions because the more he asked, the more
embarrassed she would be.
Curling the corners of his lips into a smile, Silas suggested, “Seems like you really care about her
safety a lot. Since you’re already here, why don’t you take a seat and have some drinks?”
George responded in an icy voice, “I’m not here as a guest. Camila, let’s go.” Camila struggled to break
free from Silas but he refused to let her go. With an extremely surly face, his voice still sounded calm
but deep down inside, he was so infuriated that he couldn’t wait to kill George. “I think you should say
bye to Grandpa before you leave.” Slightly intimidated by Silas’s somber face, Camila responded
obediently, “Okay.”
Then, she turned to face George and said good-naturedly, “George, please wait for me while I say bye
to Grandpa.”
As keen as George was to bring her away, he wouldn’t stop her from doing the basic courtesy.
Therefore, he didn’t say anything to stop her albeit still maintaining a bleak expression on his face.
Meanwhile, Silas left an instruction to Penny, who had gone stupefied because of the scene, “Penny,
please take care of Mr. Parsons!” “Okay,” Penny replied. Then, Silas headed straight upstairs together
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith Camila and South. He didn’t say anything along the way even until they had reached the second
floor, and his face was so dark that it looked like the overcast sky before a storm.
Camila assumed that he brought her upstairs just to lash out on her and she had mentally prepared
herself to face that, but to her surprise, he was silent.
Feeling bad to see him trying so hard to control his temper, she took the initiative to speak, “Please
don’t be angry. Isn’t this kind of a good way to end this? At least people won’t be suspicious of our
relationship because I will be leaving together with George. Also, you won’t have to be worried that
people will start plotting against us to break us apart.”
Without uttering a word, Silas glanced at her with his brooding eyes which contained waves of
complicated emotion. In the end, his sanity took control of the situation and made sure he kept his cool.
Camila reached for his hands and shared her thoughts with him, “Someone must have told George
beforehand that I would be here, or he wouldn’t have followed me for no reason at all. In fact, I already
felt that something fishy was going on at the time he went missing all of a sudden, but I just stopped
bothering about it because I was preoccupied and since nothing bad actually happened to him in the
end. Come to think of it, I think it’s very likely that he had already started to be suspicious of us then.”
