NovelEnglishChapter 66 Let’s Have Hotpot
, It’s My Treat South grinned, snickering quietly. It was rare to see Camila looking embarrassed. Thus,
Silas couldn’t hold back his laughter. “I guess it wasn’t easy for you to survive this long.” South
murmured vaguely, “That’s right. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends. Otherwise, I might have died of
hunger or froze to death by now. Still, I know Mommy didn’t do it on purpose. According to Mommy’s
senior, it’s a miracle she hasn’t accidentally killed herself.”
Upon hearing that, Silas couldn’t help roaring with laughter. On the other hand, Camila’s expression
immediately turned murderous, and she fiercely threatened, “South Brooklyn! Haven’t you been eating
my cooking daily recently? If you continue talking nonsense, you won’t get dinner tonight.” South
pouted and said innocently, “But, I didn’t say that! I was just repeating what your senior said! Mommy,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou can’t pick on me just because your senior isn’t here!” She was sweating bullets. “When did I ever
pick on you? You are the one tattling about all my shortcomings!” He retorted, “You threatened me with
dinner!” Then, she glared at him. “Well, why don’t you go and look for those friends of yours? You were
brought up by those friends of yours after all. It won’t matter whether you have dinner or not.” Thus,
South turned to look at Silas. “Uncle Silas, will you treat me to dinner tonight?” Silas laughed. “Sure, I’ll
treat you both to dinner.” “South Brooklyn, that Uncle Silas of yours is my friend.” Camila glared at
South. In response, South puffed out his cheeks, pouting as he lowered his head to eat. “Then, I better
eat more now, seeing as I won’t be eating tonight.” She was a little speechless. I’m starting to notice
that it’s getting harder and harder for me to control this little b*stard. However, Silas’s expression was
filled with warmth. He liked the way they interacted with each other-it was very nice. Reaching out, he
ruffled South’s little head. “You are a boy. Boys need to take good care of girls; do you understand?”
Then, he leaned over and whispered, “Right now, your wings are still growing. So, you need to scheme
and act docile for the sake of getting three meals a day. It’s not wise to offend your parents who feed
and clothe you!” Camila was utterly speechless. I can hear everything, okay? What is with this method
of education? South smiled widely. “I understand.” After that, he obediently turned toward her and
said, “Mommy, I was wrong. You are the best mommy in the world!” She said nothing. Why do I feel so
embarrassed?! Silas smiled. Then, he slowly put all the items they ordered into the hotpot. He was very
particular about how long each item should be cooked. Therefore, he was very clear about which item
should go in first, and which item should go in later. In the end, Camila decided not to continue
struggling against them anymore. Well, if I’m bad at taking care of others, then so be it. I’m just going to
be a carefree little glutton, okay?
Not far away, a woman secretly took a picture of them and sent the photo to Nicole through WhatsApp.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlong with the photo was a message saying, “Nicole, I saw Silas. He’s eating with a woman and a
child. Look; is that a relative of his?’ Soon, she received a reply. ‘That’s the doctor that helped cure
Silas’s grandpa! ‘Oh; if I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought they were a family of three! ‘Take
another picture and be sure to choose an angle where it isn’t too obvious that it’s them in the
background. Then, post it up on Instagram.’ Nicole sent another message in reply.
The woman immediately understood her intentions. Thus, she turned sideways and took a selfie,
including Silas and Camila in the picture while she was at it. Although it wasn’t too obvious, they could
clearly be seen in the photo if it were enlarged. Posting it up on Instagram, she wrote a caption under it:
‘Let’s Have Hotpot; It’s My Treat’. In this digital era, two mutual friends can make a photo viral very
quickly. Thus, the photo became a trending topic among their friend circles in the blink of an eye. It was
no secret how difficult it was to approach Silas Nolan. Aside from Alex, even the friends he grew up
with didn’t dare to joke around with him. Therefore, the photo of him eating with a woman-especially
since it was a woman with a child-instantly became sensational news. Everybody thought that the
woman was quite amazing to be able to get so close to Silas.
As a result, the photo was reshared several times, and Aleena saw the photo too.
