NovelEnglishChapter 222 International Phone Call Silas was observing her while standing not too far away. She was pretending to be strong, but in reality,
she was in a vulnerable state. After the incident last night, she has been challenged physically, and her
mental state has been stretched to the limit. She wants to rely on someone and speak to someone. In
fact, she wants to let go and cry, but she feels as if she doesn’t have a person to do that with. She has
never taken me into consideration! She’d rather make an international call to find solace in that man’s
voice than to lean against my shoulder! Silas pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth. This is
such a horrible feeling. I accompanied her to look for South the entire night, and so I am the best
person to understand what she has gone through. I thought that by allowing me to stay overnight, it
signified her willingness to allow me to get closer to her. Unfortunately, that is only true in the absence
of comparison. I don’t even have to guess to know that the man on the other end of the line must be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe senior she can’t stop talking about This feeling is truly infuriating. I have never met him, but he is
already a threat to me. I just figured that I should let nature take its course, and we’d end up forging a
relationship naturally. However, right now, I’m afraid that she might decide to up and leave to return to
Mastar!
Finally, she hung up on the call, but she sat motionlessly on the couch. Her head was bowed, and she
most probably hadn’t recovered from her nightmare. Silas walked to her before sitting beside her.
“You’d rather make an international call than to speak with me?” he asked in a husky voice. Camila
turned to look at him, and she saw that he was wearing a black silk pajama. The material hung loosely
on his body, but a small part of his tanned sculpted abdomen was exposed. It looked firm and sexy.
She looked away hastily while explaining, “No, it’s just that I hadn’t phoned them for the longest time.
You should go back to sleep. It’ll be daybreak if you don’t sleep soon.” With that, she stood up to leave,
but Silas grabbed onto her. Then, he stood up gradually and made his way to her front. He stared at
her fixedly with his deep and dark eyes that looked like the vast and endless ocean…
“South told me that it’s not easy to pursue you, and so I’ve never thought of forcing you. I thought that
I’d be able to make my way into your heart as long as I interact with you naturally. But today, you are
not the only one affected because I am too! My heart is aching, for not only South, but for you too! I’d
rather you lean against me and cry
your eyes out than to see you act as if everything is fine. You are not alone; you have me. Why don’t
you see me at all? Can’t you lean on my shoulder too?” Camila shut her eyes slightly when she spoke,
“Silas, don’t force me. I do not want to discuss this today.” She was truly not in the mood. “No way!”
Silas sounded domineering and forceful while grabbing onto her. Camila looked up at him.
He met her gaze, and his dark eyes appeared deep and bottomless. “In your heart, am I not as reliable
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas that international phone call?” Camila inhaled deeply. “Silas, I’m very grateful about last night,”
However, Silas cut her off before she could complete her sentence, “Camila, you know what I want to
hear! I have never wanted your gratitude. I just don’t understand; am | so negligible? Do you know how
happy I was when you came looking for me today? I thought that I was your first choice. I thought that I
was the one you shared your joys, worries and feelings with. However, I just realized that you are still
the same, and that you still have your principles. You are neither in a hurry nor lagging behind; you
aren’t too far away nor are you too close. It doesn’t matter even when I give my all to get closer to
you…” Camila looked into his eyes, and her heart clenched painfully. She suddenly felt as if she
shouldn’t be treating him in such a way, especially after going through tonight. She felt that she was
being ungrateful. Hence, Camila tried to explain in a panic, “No, in all honesty, I feel grounded when
you’re beside me.” Silas stared at her while asking her aggressively, “But you don’t feel grounded
enough compared to a phone call from your senior; am I right?”
