Chapter 334 Refuse to Go
Meanwhile in Muse Peninsula, Camila and George had been sitting on the sofa for quite some time but
none of them spoke. They had negotiated with each other for hours but they failed to come to an
agreement. George was worried about letting Camila stay alone in the country. Although he had
gathered that Silas didn’t seem to have feelings for her, his intuition told him that Silas was important to
her.
Even if Silas didn’t like Camila now, it was uncertain that it would remain that way.
Therefore, he asked Camila to return to the country with him so he could take care of her in person.
However, how could Camila agree to that? If he had asked her two weeks earlier, she would have
returned with him but now that she had Silas, how could she go back? That man had endured so much
for her so how could she abandon him and go with George? If she did that, he would definitely go mad.
It didn’t actually matter if Silas would let her leave or not because she herself wouldn’t be willing to

her feelings to how she wished to be in her home country.
In return, George attacked her conscience and used her seniors and juniors to guilt-trip her. He even
made a thorough analysis of the benefits and advantages that she would have if she went back with
him.
In the end, no one convinced the other so they were in a deadlock.
Taking a puff of his cigarette, smoke spiraled upward and shrouded George’s handsome face. Actually,
he seldom smoked unless he was extremely frustrated. Usually, nothing could bring him down and he
always kept a cool head. This situation must be difficult for him.
He couldn’t free himself from concern if he allowed her to stay here, but she refused to go with him.
On the other hand, Camila was upset about this situation too but she didn’t have any better solutions.
She didn’t mean to hurt anyone but Silas was right that it was impossible to have it both ways and
protect both of their feelings. She just hoped that they wouldn’t be startled by the truth and could accept
it.
She could differentiate the feelings she had for George and Silas.
Although she wasn’t sure how far she and Silas would go, she knew that no matter what, George would
always be her family. Otherwise, she would’ve fallen in love with George long ago! Stubbing out the
cigarette in the ashtray, George looked up at Camila. “Do you have to make me use our promise?”
Camila knitted her brows. “George, why do you have to force me? You know clearly that my studio has
just started to operate and South has just gotten used to attending school here. We’re really
comfortable now so I don’t feel like making any changes.” George took a deep breath. “I really regret
letting you come back.” Back then, he shouldn’t have acted nobly and generously. He should have
been selfish and stopped them from coming back. Camila understood what George was worried about
but she didn’t have the courage to tell the man, who not only loved her for seven years but was her
son’s savior too, that she had fallen in love with another man.
She knew that she shouldn’t have but she couldn’t control her feelings. It didn’t matter how much effort

right time and with the right person, just like when it came to her and Silas. She had always thought
that she was heartless and wouldn’t fall in love with anybody. But at that specific moment, she agreed
to be his girlfriend. She fell in love with him because of how happy he would be when she was happy
about the smallest of things, and how gently he looked at her and South. George wasn’t inferior to
anyone. In fact, he was so perfect that she felt burdened with guilt and didn’t even dare to tell him the
truth!
“George, you’re my brother and my teacher, and you’ll always be the most important person in my
heart. I know that you’re concerned for me but I want to settle down. I admit that I lied to you today but I
couldn’t reject him because Old Man Nolan is extremely pitiful. He has many maids around him but
he’s actually lonely. South went with me twice and Old Man Nolan likes him, so Silas asked South and I
to attend the party because he wanted his grandpa to have a blessed birthday. I didn’t mean to hide it
from you, but I was just afraid that you would be unhappy to know Silas and I are close. However, you
don’t have to worry because Silas has a lot of admirers and he takes care of his friends. Since I’m his
grandfather’s savior, he won’t let others hurt me.”
