Chapter 154 Never Live for Anyone Else
Gianna pointed at the stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs. “Mr. Nolan, please try this one. This one
tasted fine. I know because I’ve tried some.” Instead of saying delicious, she used the word ‘fine
because she didn’t expect the food to be tasty to them. In the meantime, Silas only kept a straight face
and ate some of the scrambled eggs while Gianna watched. “How does it taste?” she asked.
“Not bad.” Silas nodded. “It’s pretty good, actually. How come you said you’re bad at cooking? Your
dishes are fine” Nevertheless, South meanly disclosed his mother’s secret and said, “Egg fried rice and
stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs are my mom’s specialty. If we don’t order takeout, Mom will
usually prepare either pasta, stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs, or egg fried rice.” Upon hearing her
son, Gianna looked askance at him and replied, “Well, these three dishes are what keeps you fed most
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof the time. Aren’t you tall and handsome now anyway?” “Let’s just say I have better genes than you
do,” South blurted out, rendering Gianna speechless. However, Silas was amused upon hearing that.
That’s right! Gianna and her son both share the perfect gene.
“Come to my place next time, South. All you have to do is just tell me what your craving is, and your
Uncle Silas will make it for you.” Nonetheless, Gianna replied in a defensive manner, “No thanks, we’ll
be fine with the stores around here. It’s pretty convenient actually.”
At the same time, Silas seemingly also noticed that Gianna was afraid of staying in touch with him, thus
he comforted the lady and said, “It’s alright. I just want to thank South for doing me such a huge favor.
You both could visit me anytime, and I’ll promise to make anything you crave for.”
While Gianna only treated those words as pleasantry, South shifted his eyes to his mother with
excitement and happiness. “In that case, let me thank you with a toast, Mr. Nolan. You’ve helped me so
much, like the time we were in the hotel and the accident was caught in. Honestly, I don’t know how I
can thank you. So, please let me know if there is anything I can help with in the future.” Silas raised his
glass and said, “Don’t worry about that. It’s the least I could do. If you’re keeping scores, I’m going to
have to thank you for saving my grandpa. Moreover, considering the huge favor South just did me, we
can go on and on forever.” In response, Gianna smiled embarrassedly and replied, “Alright then, maybe
we should cut the pleasantries and be ourselves then. Come, let’s drink!” While gazing at her, Silas
chugged the wine in his glass whereupon he suddenly recalled Gianna’s glacial look in the hotel that
day. Feeling sentimental, he said, “That’s right! That’s how you do it. Smile more, and never live your
life for anyone else.” Silas’s words put a smile on Gianna’s face. “Yeah, you’re right. I’m feeling a lot
better now as I no longer value people’s opinions before mine.”
“Exactly. If you can’t get along with anyone, it’s not necessarily your problem. In fact, you’re
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoutstanding and exceptional to me, so you don’t have to give two hoots about what people think of
you,” Silas answered. Gianna responded with a chuckle. “Yeah. By the way, would you like to try this
fish, Mr. Nolan? I haven’t tried it, but it looks pretty good.” Silas replied, “Sure.” Since the first dish he
tried was acceptable, he didn’t think much before taking a bite of the meat. However, as soon as he put
the flesh into his mouth, he sensed a weird taste that he wasn’t able to describe. Concerned with
Gianna’s feelings, Silas swallowed it anyway and gritted his teeth while saying, “l-It’s not bad!” Gianna
asked in surprise, “Really? Let me try some.” Then, she scooped some of the fish and put it into her
mouth. “Why does it taste so funny?” However, Silas chuckled embarrassedly and said, “It’s fine. It’s
just that every cook prepares it in a different way, so I guess I’ll get used to it soon.” Meanwhile, Gianna
stared at the fish doubtfully, wondering why the recipe that Kate gave her didn’t work.
