Chapter 309 Looking Like a Family
His flawless and fair skin made his face look like a glutinous rice ball. Grinning, he greeted Silas,
“Uncle Silas!” At the sight of them, Silas started having difficulty keeping away the smile on his face.
“South looks very handsome tonight and South’s mother is simply stunning!” Gianna smiled with her
lips pursed and shot him a flirtatious glare to remind him to behave himself with so many people around
them. It was unbeknownst to her that what she was seeing now was already the toned down version of
Silas because he would not have hesitated to give her a hug if it wasn’t because of Brian’s reminder.
For now, he was trying very hard to curb his desire to get physically intimate with her because he didn’t
feel like exposing them to the public prematurely. If he only stayed with them without behaving too
intimately, they would at most be suspicious of their relationship without any clear answer.
Gianna showed off a box she was carrying in her arms. “This is the gift I prepared for your grandfather.”
“Let me take a peek at what’s inside” Silas requested with a smile. Gianna tightened her grip around
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe box and snorted arrogantly, “This is for your grandfather, not you!”
Silas went speechless, wondering why she even showed it off to him when he wasn’t allowed to see
what was inside. South too fished out something that looked like a fountain pen and waved it at Silas.
“Uncle Silas, I’ve prepared something for Old Man Nolan too.” Silas, who was surprised to learn that,
asked, “That’s nice! What have you got?” South shook his head. “You’ll know it later.” Silas was left
wordless thinking South and his mother must be doing this on purpose just to piss him off. Tousling
South’s hair, he complained, “Why are the two of you even showing off the presents to me when I’m not
allowed to see what they are?” Flashing him a toothy grin, South held his hand and tried to pull him
toward the villa. “Let’s go in now then so that you’ll be able to know our secrets!”
Silas responded with a laugh. “Let’s go; it’s freezing outside.” Timidly, he held Gianna’s arms as they
walked; from a distance, he looked like he was wrapping his arm around her waist. At least it looked
that way to George, who didn’t go to Muse Peninsula at all. Halfway through the journey, he had asked
the taxi to make a U-turn and head straight to Nolan Residence. He felt as though his heart was
shattering into a million pieces when he saw the three of them standing together like a family.
That woman had indeed told him the truth-Gianna really went to visit Silas. The three of them looked
like a happy family and even South seemed to fancy Silas a great deal. All at once, he was
overwhelmed by disappointment, heartache and the rage of being deceived at the same time.
Had Gianna really fallen in love with Silas? What about Silas? Was their love mutual? How was that
possible? Wouldn’t his prestigious family attach great importance to the family background of his
girlfriend? How could his family accept Gianna who already had a son? Was this real? Suddenly, his
mind went blank and he lost the ability to think rationally. Was Gianna, the woman whom he had had a
crush on for seven years, going to be the woman of another man? No way! He couldn’t let it happen!
Seeing that he seemed to have no intention to get out of the car, the taxi driver urged, “Dude, are you
getting out or not?” “I’m booking your taxi for the night. Just make an offer,” George said. The driver’s
eyes gleamed with joy immediately. “Really? Okay, I’ll do honest business with you. Since I usually
make seven to eight hundred a night, you just have to pay me seven hundred and I’ll drive you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanywhere you want.” “I’ll pay you a thousand just to stay here.” After taking out several notes that made
up to a thousand bucks to him, George added, “Don’t you think of just leaving after taking the money
because I can easily reach you!” The taxi driver said, “Of course I won’t do such a despicable act! I’ll
wait here for as long as you like and I’ll be at your disposal for the entire night!” George pretty much
ignored what he said. Just as he was about to push the door open and leave, the driver asked him,
“Are you going inside to attend the dinner?” George asked himn back, “What’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing, I just didn’t see you bringing your invitation card,” the driver answered,
Chapter 309 Looking Like a Family Skeptically, George observed the guests who were filing into the
villa one after another, and each of them was indeed holding an invitation card Having noticed his
expression, the taxi driver chuckled, “Today is Old Master Nolan’s birthday dinner. Without an invitation
card, you won’t stand a chance of going in.”
