Chapter 304 Are You Trying to Murder Your Girlfriend?
Gianna nodded at him. “Yes, it’s done. Let’s bring it to your grandfather and let him try it on.” George
suggested, “Gianna, why don’t you invite Mr. Nolan in for a cup of tea?” Despite feeling horrified by his
suggestion, Gianna maintained a calm outlook and spoke politely, “Mr. Nolan, would you like to come in
for a cup of tea?” Although she was talking in a polite and formal tone, she was staring at him with her
eyes laden with imploration and ingratiation. Silas cast a glimpse at George and tried his best to
suppress the fury in him before he responded in a businesslike tone, “I’ll pass as I’ll be busy in the
afternoon. So, let’s go now so we can get it over with earlier.”
With a look of gratification, Gianna quickly replied, “Well, let’s go now then.”
With that, she took the suit and said bye to George before heading out.
As soon as they were in his car, Silas’s face fell immediately not because he was throwing a tantrum at
Gianna. It was because his mental preparation was reduced to nothing the moment he witnessed
Gianna and George together with his own eyes. Despite having spent three days convincing himself to

He knew there was nothing going on between them and Gianna only saw him as her family.
In spite of that, he still couldn’t stand them being so close with each other! “Silas, don’t you get the
wrong idea from our conversation just now. A few days ago, I tried to ask George indirectly when he
was planning to leave but I think he could sense that I was trying to get rid of him. So, I had no choice
but to tell him that I was only asking because I would like to bring him around if he was going to extend
his stay. Please believe me and don’t read too much into this matter.”
Silas nodded and responded, “Yes, I understand.” Are you still feeling grumpy although you understand
the situation? Well, I guess no one in your shoes would be happy. Tilting her head to one side, she put
on an adorable look and tried hard to please him because she knew she had been giving him a hard
time recently. Curling her small finger around his, she cajoled, “Don’t be angry. I’ve always seen
George as my family member and I know my own feelings. So, please don’t be jealous of him at this
time, alright? You just have to put up with him for a couple of days more until he leaves and by the time
it happens, I promise I’ll make it up to you.” Even though Silas didn’t say a word, one could tell that he
had relented from the way he relaxed his tightly pursed lips. The mounting fury in him quickly
dissipated like a deflated balloon. Indeed, he adored being cajoled by Gianna in this way because it
was rare for her to speak in such a gentle tone. Although her finger felt icy to his skin, the moment she
touched him, he felt electricity coursing through his entire body from her fingertip, setting them on fire.
Well, he had to say he was easy when it came to Gianna. Without uttering a word, he reached out his
hand to hold hers.
Alex was right-she chose to sacrifice him because she saw him as her close one and she had indeed
promised to make it up to him.
But, what should he do if he wanted to be compensated now?
The moment he held her hand, Gianna felt a lump in her throat all of a sudden knowing he relented not
because he was good-tempered, but simply because he cared too much about her to be mad at her
over the matter. She opened her hand fully and interlocked her fingers with his. Staring at her, Silas
turned the steering wheel and pulled up by the roadside. Gazing at him, Gianna opened her arms
widely on her own initiative knowing what he was going to do next. Unable to stop himself from

his tight embrace without saying a word as if he was worried he might lose her any minute.
Patting his back gently, Gianna grumbled, “Are you trying to murder your girlfriend?”
It was only then did Silas realize he had been squeezing her too hard. Immediately, he loosened his
hold on her and flashed her a foolish grin.
Gianna thought about the cocky man who sat arrogantly behind his desk when they met several
months ago and the man in front of her now, who was content with just a hug. For a moment, she
experienced mixed feelings noticing the stark contrast. Grabbing his hands, she said solemnly, “My
boyfriend, I know I’ve been giving you a hard time lately and it’s my fault. You can throw tantrums all
you like and I promise I won’t be angry with you.”
