Chapter 320 Does Your Brother Have a Girlfriend?
Finally, Silas stopped in his tracks and examined her with a penetrating stare “So, when are you going
to stop hiding me in your closet?”
Holding his hands, Gianna swayed his arms and cajoled him, “I’ll explain it to George after I get home.
I’m sure he will leave once he believes me.”
Silas pressed on, “What if he refuses to believe you? Are you going to break up with me because of
that? Gianna, you have to make a choice between the two of us because it’s inevitable that you will
have to hurt one of us!”
South was so anxious when he heard that and his gaze shifted back and forth between Silas and his
mother. If the two were really going to break up, all his effort in playing matchmaker for them would go
down the drain.
Taking a glance at South who was looking edgy, Gianna took a deep breath before she said, “I
understand that but even that’s the case, I’d like to minimize the damage so that George can accept
our relationship gradually. I believe he’s sensible enough to figure out everything himself and accept

be able to solve this!”
In a calm voice, he countered, “Is doing everything he wishes your way to solve it? Why did you agree
to go back just because he asked you to? Do you still remember your promise? Gianna, if I continue to
let you have your way, I’ll only be torturing myself! Would you do it if he were to ask you to break up
with me?”
Knitting her brows together, Gianna was eager to clarify herself, “Silas, please don’t push me into
making a decision and you’re making me feel guilty for some reason. I really have a valid reason why
I’m doing this, but I have no time to tell you about it now. Can I
explain it to you tomorrow?”
Silas stared at her morosely without a word because he had no idea what to say
In fact, he did realize that he was greedy when it came to their relationship because he was never
content with what he had, and he was constantly asking for more from her. If she had not agreed to be
his girlfriend at all, she would not have to be put in such a quandary and be so guilt-stricken.
To be honest, he was so eager that he had started picturing his life with her in the next ten years
although he had yet to even pass his trial period as her boyfriend.
Suddenly, he heard a string of extremely light footsteps coming from the first floor. He first pulled
Gianna to a more secluded corner before bending down to look in the direction of the first floor to find
Ben and Penny standing there.
Looking panicked, Gianna mouthed, “Who’s there?”
Silas answered her in the same way, “George.”
At first, she wanted to haul him away to hide somewhere else but she was stopped by Silas, who
deliberately raised his voice and said, “I’m sorry for asking you to be here at such a short notice. As my
grandfather fancies South a great deal, I just wanted the two of you to be here to cheer him up.
Perhaps your senior has gotten the wrong idea.” Gianna was sharp enough to understand what he was
trying to do. Therefore, she too went along with his statement by speaking politely, “It’s fine. In fact, I
am the one who’s supposed to say sorry for almost going back on my promise to attend your
grandfather’s birthday celebration dinner. George has always been a rigid person and he has always
taken care of me like his daughter over the years. South and I have already gotten used to it.” Silas
said, “It’s good to have someone who cares about you. In this case, you should really explain
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverything to him at home then!” “Yes, he’s not being himself simply because he’s too worried about us
Silas said, “I’d love to see you stay for the birthday cake but I don’t suppose George will let you do
that.” Casting him an appreciative glance, Gianna responded sleekly. I’ll visit you guys some other
time!” After she said that, they put an end to the show and continued their way to Old Man Nolan’s
room. Meanwhile, George remained rooted to the spot as he wondered whether the conversation they
just had was true. Why did he have a feeling that Silas wasn’t interested in Gianna at all? He spun
around and asked Penny, “Does your brother have a girlfriend? Penny was thrilled to see George
initiating a conversation with her considering that the man was so aloof. It was the first sentence he had
spoken to her ever since he stepped foot in the villa. “I don’t think he has one but he doesn’t really
share his private affairs with us. I know many of his friends are women but I’ve never heard that he has
a girlfriend. Seems like he isn’t interested in any of them.” George frowned upon her statement and
questioned, “Why is that so?”
Penny elaborated, “He once let a woman down several years ago and he’s been looking for her ever
since. I think he’s not looking for a girlfriend because he’s still waiting for her to be back!”
