Chapter 96 The Unhappy South Silas frowned unhappily. “Don’t follow me around. I have business to tend to.” Then, he told
Landon, “You coming or not, Landon?” “Of course I am,” Landon replied. He told Old Man Nolan that
he would come another time and left the house behind them. Silence was their companion in the car
until Camila whispered to her son, who appeared to be unhappy, “What happened to you?” Silas
listened intently. If he was right, South didn’t talk to him that much earlier. South was playing with his
phone. “Nothing,” he said. “Are you upset?” Camila was curious. “No.” South took a deep breath.
Then, Silas interjected in an attempt to make conversation, “What’s the story you told Great-grandpa

What happened? He’s fine in the afternoon, well, aside from him getting quiet after Zoe came. Camila
tried to cheer him up. “We moved to a new place. It’s just a hop, skip, and jump away from Landon’s
house. Do you like it?” That grabbed his attention, since he was a kid after all. “Why are we moving?”
Camila replied calmly, “So you can play the latest games Landon develops.” “Right. It’s just because
you want him to take care of me at all times.” He pouted. “Shh. Keep this between us. We don’t want
him to hear that.” Landon looked annoyed. “At least whisper when you talk about secrets. Everyone
and their mother could hear you.” South raised his chin. “Watch your tongue.” “I’m just telling the truth,”
Landon retorted. “Mommy, Landon took me along and played until three in the morning. I kept telling
him I want to sleep, but he kept saying ‘last game’ every time.” South even looked at Landon
provocatively. “Landon!” Camila was going to hit him. “Can you be more responsible? I thought I told
you no all-nighters!” “No, we didn’t!” Landon dodged her hit and pointed at South. “Hey, we promised to
keep this a secret.”
South grinned at him. “I’m just telling the truth.”
Pointing at him angrily, Landon declared, “You little snitch! No more new games for you!”
South crossed his arms and snorted. “Don’t come to me if you run into any technical problems then.”

mirror and felt that South was sulking. There was no reason for him to ignore Silas, and even when
Silas tried to start a conversation, South wasn’t too enthused. After getting the groceries and coming
back to Muse Peninsula, they bumped into Kate, who had just arrived via taxi. Landon looked at her
and mocked, “And what brings you here?” She rolled her eyes. “Not for you, that’s for sure. Piss off.”
“This is my turf!” “No! This is Camila’s turf!” Landon was about to retort further, so she pointed at him.
“You aren’t going to say no, are you?” Then, Silas disembarked, and Kate panicked. I knew someone
important was here. No wonder Camila called me over. She changed into her polite mode instantly and
greeted, “Hello, Mr. Nolan.” “Hello.” Silas nodded. After some small talk, they went into house Number
5901 of Block No. 3. When they entered, what greeted them was a huge French window. The sun was
setting now, and the light that sprinkled the house felt warm.
