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 hand off and replied, “Alright, fire away.” Upon noticing the lady’s reaction, Silas was frustrated yet 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.
Camila sympathetically replied, “He is a poor little dude without anyone else to lean on, just like me. Oh yeah. Give me a moment.” She then staggered to her feet and walked away. Worried that she might 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?
