Chapter 304 Are You Trying to Murder Your Girlfriend?
Camila nodded at him. “Yes, it’s done. Let’s bring it to your grandfather and let him try it on.”
George suggested, “Camila, why don’t you invite Mr. Nolan in for a cup of tea?”
Despite feeling horrified by his suggestion, Camila maintained a calm outlook and spoke politely, “Mr.
Nolan, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?” Although she was talking in a polite and formal tone,
she was staring at him with her eyes laden with imploration and ingratiation. Silas cast a glimpse at
George and tried his best to suppress the fury in him before he responded in a businesslike tone, “I’ll
pass as I’ll be busy in the afternoon. So, let’s go now so we can get it over with earlier.” With a look of
gratification, Camila quickly replied, “Well, let’s go now then.” With that, she took the suit and said bye
to George before heading out.
As soon as they were in his car, Silas’s face fell immediately not because he was throwing a tantrum at

It was because his mental preparation was reduced to nothing the moment he witnessed Camila and
George together with his own eyes. Despite having spent three days convincing himself to stay calm
when he saw them, it took George only less than three minutes to ruin his effort. He knew there was
nothing going on between them and Camila only saw him as her family.
In spite of that, he still couldn’t stand them being so close with each other! “Silas, don’t you get the
wrong idea from our conversation just now. A few days ago, I tried to ask George indirectly when he
was planning to leave but I think he could sense that I was trying to get rid of him. So, I had no choice
but to tell him that I was only asking because I would like to bring him around if he was going to extend
his stay. Please believe me and don’t read too much into this matter.” Silas nodded and responded,
“Yes, I understand.”. Are you still feeling grumpy although you understand the situation? Well, I guess
no one in your shoes would be happy. Tilting her head to one side, she put on an adorable look and
tried hard to please him because she knew she had been giving him a hard time recently. Curling her
small finger around his, she cajoled, “Don’t be angry. I’ve always seen George as my family member
and I know my own feelings. So, please don’t be jealous of him at this time, alright? You just have to
put up with him for a couple of days more until he leaves and by the time it happens, I promise I’ll make
it up to you.”
Even though Silas didn’t say a word, one could tell that he had relented from the way he relaxed his
tightly pursed lips. The mounting fury in him quickly dissipated like a deflated balloon. Indeed, he
adored being cajoled by Camila in this way because it was rare for her to speak in such a gentle tone.
Although her finger felt icy to his skin, the moment she touched him, he felt electricity coursing through
his entire body from her fingertip, setting them on fire. Well, he had to say he was easy when it came to
Camila. Without uttering a word, he reached out his hand to hold hers. Alex was right-she chose to
sacrifice him because she saw him as her close one and she had indeed promised to make it up to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim. But, what should he do if he wanted to be compensated now? The moment he held her hand,
Camila felt a lump in her throat all of a sudden knowing he relented not because he was good-
tempered, but simply because he cared too much about her to be mad at her over the matter. She
opened her hand fully and interlocked her fingers with his. Staring at her, Silas turned the steering
wheel and pulled up by the roadside. Gazing at him, Camila opened her arms widely on her own
initiative knowing what he was going to do next. Unable to stop himself from breaking into a grin, Silas
unfastened his seat belt and pulled her toward his arms. He then kept her in his tight embrace without
saying a word as if he was worried he might lose her any minute. Patting his back gently, Camila
grumbled, “Are you trying to murder your girlfriend?” It was only then did Silas realize he had been
squeezing her too hard. Immediately, he loosened his hold on her and flashed her a foolish grin.
Camila thought about the cocky man who sat arrogantly behind his desk when they met several
months ago and the man in front of her now, who was content with just a hug. For a moment, she
experienced mixed feelings noticing the stark contrast. Grabbing his hands, she said solemnly, “My
boyfriend, I know I’ve been giving you a hard time lately and it’s my fault. You can throw tantrums all
you like and I promise ! won’t be angry with you.”
