Chapter 299 Seeing the Point Alex offered his opinion with a smile, “Men and women think differently. As women tend to be more
perceptual and soft-hearted, they will try their best to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings. Therefore,
perhaps she just doesn’t want to hurt her senior and you shouldn’t take that as a sign of her neglecting
you. Also, did she tell you for sure that she wasn’t going to introduce you to that senior? In fact, she
might just be waiting for the right time to do that. So, you have to give her some time because it isn’t
likely that she will keep you hidden forever.” Silas didn’t utter a word in response because he
desperately needed someone to talk some sense into him now.
Alex found it hilarious because he had never seen him listening to his lecture so calmly without trying to
argue back. “As far as I know about Camila’s personality, she wouldn’t have accepted to go out with
you if she didn’t take this relationship seriously. Are you forcing her to make a choice between her
senior who has been crushing on her for seven years and you, a boyfriend whom she barely started
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdating? Do you have enough confidence that she will still choose you over that senior for the second
time? I know you’re bothered by this because you care about her a lot and you want to be properly
introduced. However, I must say you’re being too greedy to ask for so many things from her
considering you two have only started dating each other.”
Keeping his eyes shut, Silas could understand everything Alex just said but then again, he just didn’t
feel like wasting more time that he could spend with her after they had missed out on each other for
seven years. If it wasn’t because he was worried that she might not be able to accept what had
happened back then, he would have told her right away that he wanted to always be with her. On the
contrary, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up and wanted things to flow at her pace. Nothing could
change her mind even though he had been dreaming about her every single night! Alex remarked,
“Didn’t you realize that people tend to save the nice side of themselves to outsiders and act without
scruples with people who are closer to them? Do you think you will feel better if she asks her senior to
be friendlier with you because you are her boyfriend?” Silas looked stunned for a second before
answering, “Of course not!” Alex raised his brows at him and said, “That’s the point I’m trying to make.
Of course she knows that she has been hard on you during this period of time, so she will remember
how you sacrificed yourself to cooperate with her plan even if she doesn’t try to make it up to you later.
But if you start a fight with her over the issue now, that
will do you no good but tear the two of you apart.” Finally, Silas saw the point. Perhaps, Alex was right
to say that she only decided to sacrifice him because he was her boyfriend. On top of that, she had
promised to make it up to him by letting him be her official boyfriend after her senior moved out from
her place. It was him who had been unable to keep his cool as he was too preoccupied by the fact that
she was staying with George. However, since they had been living together for seven years already,
they would have dated a long time ago if she was interested in him. It was only then did he realize he
shouldn’t have forced her to make a decision. Thinking that he shouldn’t waste his time wallowing in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmself-pity, he leapt up to his feet and said, “I have to get going now!” With that, he made his way to the
door. In his exasperation, Alex yelled at him, “Get the bill!” “You do it!” “Why should I?” “For yelling at
me for the entire night!” Alex didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his explanation. “I did it for your
good!” But he was ignored. “Hey, get someone to drive you!” Alex then shouted behind him but what he
received in response was the sound of the door closing. Being left alone in the private room, Alex
leaned against the sofa and kept his eyes closed as the image of someone emerged in his mind. If only
he had been this perceptive back then, he wouldn’t have remained a bachelor up until now. Silas
headed straight back to Muse Peninsula and went up to the 59th floor. Standing in front of Camila’s
unit, he hesitated slightly. In fact, he had no intention of going in and he only wanted to stand there so
that he could get closer to her. He thought of knocking on the door at first but he was sure George
would be at home at this hour. If he was spotted by George, he supposed it would be another reason to
drive her up the wall. It was their habit to chat with each other on WhatsApp after ten at night every day
but tonight, he felt guilty for some reason as he fiddled with his phone, not knowing what to say to her
Should he apologize to her? But it seemed insincere to just say sorry to her via a message.
