Chapter 168 Remember That I’m Waiting for You
Silas really liked Camila? She instinctively took a step back as confusion and fear etched across her face. “E-Silas, are you
joking with me?” Silas took a step forward. Camila instinctively took another step back. Silas frowned at that as he reached out to
grab her hand. Seeing that she was still struggling, he pushed her against the wall and inched closer. Immediately, the distance
between them was reduced to none. Silas’s voice was low and raspy, making her feel somewhat safe. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t
force you to accept me, but I just wanted to tell you how I feel. Camila, I really like you!” Camila felt as if thousands of horses had
just stomped past her chest. She didn’t know why her body reacted so uncontrollably. She was already a mother of a seven-
year-old child and had received tons of confession in the past. Was it really necessary to react this way? Camila instinctively
pushed him away. “L-Let go off me first.” Who in their right mind would press someone against the wall and confess to them?
This scenario seems more like a robbery, no? Silas backed away a little before he asked with his raspy voice, “Do you have
anything you want to ask me?” Camila’s dumbfounded mind started churning at that. “W-Why do you like me?” Hand in his
pocket, although he looked like he was trying to act cool, he still looked slightly out of place. “I’ll answer this formally. You’re
smart, gorgeous, and have an attitude. You’re also a competent person, making you an ideal girlfriend.” Camila frowned upon
hearing his ‘formal’ answer. “Is there an informal version?” “If I tell you that I don’t know why I like you, would you think that I’m
just trying to brush you off? To be honest, I’m unsure myself. I only know that I was quite embarrassed when I misunderstood
you initially, so I wanted to make it up to you. However, the more I know you, the more I realized that you’re so...” Silas suddenly
lowered his head and chuckled before he looked up at her and said, “Adorable!” Camila facepalmed. That word really didn’t suit
her at all. Even Camila herself didn’t think that she was cute. “My emotions started to change along with yours. I could feel your
happiness, your
sadness. I can’t control my temper when I see you getting wronged, and I want to tear apart those who bullied you. I couldn’t fall
asleep after I heard that you like another man. I didn’t want to confess to you so soon because I wanted it to happen naturally
when you finally fall in love with me as well, but... I can’t stand it anymore. I’m so terrified. I’m terrified that you might really fall in
love with another person.”
Silas stared at her intently. Then, he inched closer to her again.
Camila immediately straightened up her back and stared back at him. Overwhelmed by the situation, she could feel her mind
going blank again. Why couldn’t this man just talk properly? Why must he unleash all of his charisma? Camila shifted to the side
as she struggled to get away from the man before turning to him anxiously. “I don’t like anyone, and I’m not planning to like
anyone. I’m thankful that you like me, but I don’t think that we’re suitable for each other. I’m not saying that you’re not a good
person, but it’s just that I’m not planning to look for a boyfriend right now. Well... I’ll be leaving now. South can sleep over at
yours. I’ll pick him up tomorrow.” Then, she turned around and wanted to leave.
However, Silas reached out and dragged her back. He felt his heart aching when he saw her anxious expression. Taking a deep
breath, he consoled her, “Camila, don’t be in a rush to reject me. I just want you to know that I like you.” Silas’s voice was slow
and soft. Even his movement when he reached out to move her baby hair to the back of her ear was really gentle. “Camila,
remember that I’m waiting for you if you want a boyfriend one day!” Then, Silas took a step back. “South is already asleep, so
just let him sleep here. I’ll send him back tomorrow.”
