Chapter 30 Let Me Treat You To Dinner

Silas looked at Camila and said, “Alright. Then tonight it is. I’d like to treat Doctor Brooklyn to dinner to thank her properly.” However, Camila hurriedly replied, “You’re most welcome, but you don’t have to. I’m fine, really.” Silas then added, “I’m not joking with you. I really want to treat you to dinner, and I can treat Landon, who’s visiting from afar, too.” Camila still refused his offer. “It’s fine. Both of you can go ahead.”

Suddenly, Landon stood up and urged, “Don’t be such a wet blanket. Can’t you welcome me with dinner since I’m visiting from afar? Silas even promised to bring me to the Ruby Palace tonight!” “I’ll treat you to dinner another day!” Camila replied. Old Man Nolan also joined in and added, “Camila, I really like your son. Can you let your son accompany me to chat for a while more?” Camila was slightly stunned. Before she could answer his question, her son swiftly replied, “That sounds nice. I’d love to play with Great-

grandpa too!” Nonetheless, Camila still frowned and commanded, “Stop fooling around, South. Grandpa needs to rest.” “But mommy, didn’t you ask Great-grandpa to stay positive? I can accompany Great-

grandpa to have a chat.” South then nudged his mother. “You should hurry up and go. I want to play chess with Great-grandpa. You and Uncle Silas can come and pick me up later!” Upon saying this, South winked at his mother playfully. Camila knew that he probably wanted to set her up with Silas, but she was still worried about South. However, Ruby Palace was a crowded and chaotic place, so she could not bring South along too. After much thought, Camila remained her stance and refused their offer. “Why don’t we meet another day?” “Are you worried about your son, or are you worried about me?” Silas asked. Landon also added, “Yes. Let’s go, since I’ve just returned. If you don’t go, I won’t go either.”

Hearing his words, Camila became speechless. Hence, the three of them went to Ruby Palace by car.

Ruby Palace was the largest entertainment venue in Summer City where one could eat, drink, and play-all under one roof. There was nothing one could not do, even if it was unthought of.

Needless to say, only the wealthy were able to visit this place. Just as the three of them arrived at the main hall, they met Alex, Hayden, and the others. Altogether, there were four to five men and women gathered in the hall. Everyone greeted Silas warmly, and by the looks of it, they were quite close with each other.

Suddenly, a man in a maroon-colored suit addressed the group, “Hayden, all of you can go ahead. I’ll catch up with you later.”

After Hayden and the others went upstairs, Alex wrapped his arm around Landon’s neck and asked, “Since when did you come back?”

Landon then greeted him with a smile and said, “I just returned today, Alex!” “That’s great. I can treat you to dinner together with the others too.” Alex replied. Landon wanted to go, but when he glanced at Camila, he became worried that she would feel uncomfortable and was just about to refuse Alex’s offer.

However, Silas suddenly asked, “Are you even able to pay for dinner?” Alex clicked his tongue and said, “You can just foot the bill.” “I’m not willing to do that for you!” Alex glared at him and replied, “No one would acknowledge you if it wasn’t for the beautiful lady you have right here!” Alex was a friendly and approachable person, and as he was talking, he walked over to Camila. “He’s afraid that you won’t be used to all this. Friends are meant to be made; as the saying goes: strangers at the first meeting and friends at the second, right? I believe this is our second time meeting each other?” Camila was slightly taken aback. How did she not have the slightest memory about

She then gave an awkward smile. “I’m sorry. I seemed to have forgotten about it.” Silas gave an impatient kick toward Alex. “Shoo. Hurry up and go away.” However, Alex managed to dodge his kick.

“This is a public venue. Please have some manners!” Silas laughed out of anger. “How dare you talk manners with me when you’re the one with none?” Camila.looked at Silas and thought that he was not the cold and unapproachable person he was. In fact, he was able to joke around with his friends in private too. Alex was not calculative with him and came to Camila’s side. “We met at the Rakuten Bar that time when you made a bet with Silas; remember? I was upstairs that day and I was totally impressed by you. No! I admired you. You’re the first person to make him

suffer such a heavy loss!”
