NovelEnglishChapter 98 Housewarming
“You’ll know by tomorrow,” said South nonchalantly as he jumped to his feet and went straight into his
room. Gazing at him, Silas couldn’t help but smile. For a kid that was barely one meter tall, South
clearly didn’t act or sound like one. For dinner, Camila had prepared a hot pot with two types of broth-
spicy and non-spicy, hence everyone’s preference was well taken care of. As it was a simple comfort
food, it didn’t take too long for her to serve the hot pot on the table, and the aroma of the hot pot broth
had spread all the way to the living room.
Attracted to the aroma, Silas rose from his seat and walked over to the dining room. Seeing the
tantalizing food galore on the table made his mouth water.
Holding a plate of beef in her hands, Camila said, “Mr. Nolan, please have a seat. Dinner will be ready
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsoon.” Then, she turned to the direction of the spacious hallway and shouted, “South, dinner is ready.”
With that, the door flung open, and South came running out of the room.
Taking out the newly bought wine, Camila poured each one of them a glass. While passing a glass of
wine to Silas, she said, “Mr. Nolan, drink some. You can ask your driver to come and pick you up later.”
“Alright,” Silas replied. Without needing Camila to serve, Landon and Kate had already helped
themselves with a glass.
Since it was housewarming, everyone took turns to toast Camila and said their blessings. As a
formality, Camila had said a few words in response. After all, there was someone else present in their
little group. As South mentioned, their relationship with Silas wasn’t that close.
Throughout dinner, Camila had taken extra care to serve Silas. “Mr. Nolan, if you prefer non-spicy, feel
free to take this side of the food together with South.” “Will do. You eat up, too. Don’t bother to serve
us,” said Silas. Having said that, Camila was still busy dishing up the cooked food nearer toward Silas
and South with the serving chopsticks.
With Silas around, the dinner atmosphere seemed more restrained as compared to their usual dinner.
However, it wasn’t too much a difference for Landon because from the very start, he was already
intimidated by Silas. Hence, he dared not say much and would tend to be more proper around him. As
for Kate, her behavior on the table was solely determined by how close her relationship was with the
people around the table.
Today, she was unusually proper and quietly enjoying her meal.
Holding a glass of wine, Camila looked toward Silas and said, “Mr, Nolan, thank you for always
watching over us, especially the incident that occurred last night. If it weren’t for you, Kate and I
wouldn’t be able to get ourselves out in one piece.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You’re most welcome. Cheers!” They raised their glasses and finished up the wine. Confused, Landon
asked, “What happened?” Lowering her head, Kate briefly explained what had happened last night.
Casting a glance at Silas, South’s expression seemed to have gone back to his normal friendly self.
Giving Silas a nudge, he said, “I want to eat that cocktail sausage.” Feeling elated, Silas immediately
picked up two cocktail sausages from the hot pot and served them in South’s bowl. Sneaking a grin,
South hung his head and began to dig in. With that, Silas had kept himself busy by taking care of the
little guy. Noticing the close interaction between Silas and South, Camila thought the relationship
seemed fine and blamed herself for thinking too much. Upon hearing the whole incident, Landon felt his
anger spiked. “How dare he! That Luca, who does he think he is?” Tugging on Landon’s sleeves, Kate
comforted, “Calm down! Mr. Nolan had everything settled. Metrostar Entertainment had officially fired
him, and my guess is President Grant dare not work with him ever again.” “Right, Harriet Grant is a
smart person for doing so,” said Silas. Considering how modest and friendly Mr. Nolan was, Kate
became more daring by raising up her glass to propose a toast. “Mr. Nolan, I’d like to propose a toast to
you. Besides helping us to solve our big problem yesterday, many advertisers had since. approached
our magazine publisher, out of respect for you. Thank you for everything.”
