Chapter 230 Nicole and Aleena
He had a shred of exhaustion on his expression, and his tone was sluggish. “When have I not been serious?” Hayden added,
“No. Silas, Camila has a child.” Silas exclaimed, “I don’t care!” A slight hesitation was found in Hayden’s expression. “You can
choose not to care, but can the Nolan Family accept her?” Silas’s tone carried a hint of arrogance. “Do I need to be concerned
about their opinions?” Both Alex and Hayden knew the situation in the Nolan Family-the family only seemed harmonious on the
surface. With Old Man Nolan in power now, the family members were more constrained. If Old Man Nolan were to pass away
one day, nobody could tell how chaotic the Nolan Family would become. Silas indeed didn’t need to listen to anybody. But if he
really married a woman who had a child, this news might probably create an uproar among the upper-class social circle.
Before they managed to come to their senses from the shocking news, the door of their private room was pushed open. Two
women entered from outside-Aleena and Nicole.
“We have just arrived and heard that you guys were here, so we thought to come over to say hello. Why are only the three of you
here?” Nicole smiled as she asked. Alex smiled. “Right. The upright and noble Young Master Nolan didn’t allow me to get
someone here to accompany us. Are there only the two of you here? Or do you have friends? If you guys are alone, you can
come and join us!”
This was exactly what Nicole had wished for. “No, there’s just the two of us.” After saying that, she walked up to the couch.
Silas’s brows were slightly furrowed, but he didn’t say anything. Alex immediately handed them two glasses. “That’s great. Young
Master Nolan wants to drink today.
The two of you should drink together with him; we have had enough!” Nicole took the glass and smiled as she replied, “Sure. I
think that it has been quite some time since I last saw Silas. What have you been busy with recently?” As she was speaking, she
raised the glass at Silas and gestured at him. He naturally took a sip and replied half-heartedly, “Work!” Aleena was not as
natural as Nicole was. As a matter of fact, since they parted ways in this room previously, she had been lacking the courage to
look for him. Of course, she missed him, but she was sad as well. She couldn’t forget his heartlessness, nor she could figure out
what kind of charm Camila had to make him fall so hard for her to the extent where he was willing to put everyone else after her.
In fact, Aleena had been keeping an eye on him all the while. It was the grand opening of Camila’s studio that day. When she
deliberately drove past their door, she saw him draping a jacket on her with a gentle expression and kept her accompanied under
the cold wind. That scene was really irritating. She could barely resist the urge to dash out from the car to ask him how a used
woman like Camila would be a good match to him. However, after she considered the consequences of this action, she arrived at
a conclusion that Silas would surely be mad at her; he would be biased toward Camila and would certainly blame her. This might
even ruin the little possibility of them getting together. Therefore, she tried her best to suppress herself and hold back the urge to
get out of the car. Judging by the current situation, she found her effort worth it. Sure enough, patience is the key to success. I’ve
finally waited until they broke up. Separation is bound to come after a long-period union-this is a never-changing truth! No matter
how deeply he is in love with her, there will certainly be a day when they break up!
Upon having such thoughts, she felt relieved. Raising her glass, she gestured at Silas. “Silas, let’s have a toast. Let bygones be
bygones. Please forgive me for all my past mistakes.” He sat on the couch and peered at her. “You are overstating it. We are
both adults, so all we need to do is to be responsible for our past actions.” As he spoke, he didn’t put her in a spot; he raised his
glass and drank together with her. Alex had a smirk on his corner of his lips. “Stop beating around the bush. What do you mean
by forgiving your past actions? Just tell us straight!”
Aleena cast a glance at Silas. Seeing that he didn’t give any response, she felt a little aggrieved, so she answered, “It was my
cousin, Robin. After he met Miss Brooklyn, he told me that he had fallen in love with her. So, I encouraged him and asked him to
court her if he fancied her. However, before he managed to get her to like him, he forced himself on her. But Silas thought that it
was me who asked him to do so...
