Chapter 157 Give This to Brian Soon, Silas rolled the dice again and got seven pips this time. Although the odds seemed to be in the
man’s favor, Camila reckoned she still stood a chance to get a number larger than seven. Then, she
took a peek at the dice. Oh, I can see ten pips; I think I’ll take the chance. Upon lifting the dice cup,
Camila finally emerged victorious as she pointed at the glasses with wine on the table and said to Silas.
“Now, it’s your turn to drink.”
Despite his defeat this round, Silas was still glad to see the lady rejoice in the game. “No, I’m not going
to drink.” Camila was stunned by his answer while the alcohol took a toll on her head. “What? How can
you do that?” Unhappy with that, she pointed at him and questioned, “Are you trying to cheat?”
“No, I just want to share a secret with you instead,” Silas held her fingers and said, but Camila took her

amused. Even though he was tipsy, he could still think straight.
“I’m in love with someone.”
“Yeah, you’ve said that before.” Camila nodded her head.
“Do you want to know who that is?” Silas sounded like he was trying to coax a little
girl, but Camila was just slightly tipsy, not dumb. After pondering for a moment, she knew something
was not right with the man before her. “…. don’t want to know!” Camila’s reply rendered Silas
speechless and got him wondering whether she was really drunk. “Tell me another secret!” Camila
said, leaving Silas disappointed. Why does she always keep her guard up against others? Or is she
only doing that to me? “What would you like to know then?” “Tell me about your brother,” Camila
responded after thinking for a moment.
“Are you interested in him?” Silas asked as his heart sank.
Camila stared at Silas with a smile and slowly nodded her head while the latter only took a deep breath
in confusion. What does she mean? Does she mean she likes Brian? While Camila propped her chin
with her hand, Silas exchanged gazes with her, feeling his breath taken away by her enchanting gaze,
as if no man was capable of resisting her seductive beauty. I think she must be drunk because she
doesn’t usually look at me like that. “What is it that you’d like to know about him?” Silas gulped and
asked. “Is he always alone?” Camila uttered after a brief contemplation. “Yeah, I think so,” Silas
answered.
Camila sympathetically replied, “He is a poor little dude without anyone else to lean on, just like me. Oh

fall, Silas followed right behind her and saw her heading to the living room, where she took a candy box
from a small cabinet. Upon seeing that, he felt like a dog with two tails, happy with the surprise she had
prepared him as he recalled the time he was disappointed when the lady bought Brian some candies.
Although it was he who made the first move this time, he was still glad that she could remember his
words. Soon, she passed the candy box to Silas, but before the man could continue to rejoice, she
blurted out, “Give this to Brian.” Then, Camila returned to the dining area, leaving Silas speechless and
nonplussed. So, this box of candies isn’t for me but for Brian? Yet, I felt I was on top of the world a few
seconds ago. In that instant, Silas was overwhelmed by a sting of pain as he stared at Camila’s eyes
pitifully. She’s only met Brian a few times, and she is already so concerned about him. “So, you want
me to give this to Brian?” he asked, refusing to give up.
Camila nodded and replied, “I think Brian cares a lot about you. So, if you give this to him, he is going
to be so happy.” However, Silas only responded with a glacial smile without saying a single word. So,
this is all about Brian, all about making him happy. What about me? Does she not care about me at all?
