Chapter 334 Refuse to Go

Meanwhile in Muse Peninsula, Gianna and George had been sitting on the sofa for quite some time but none of them spoke

They had negotiated with each other for hours but they failed to come to an agreement

George was worried about letting Gianna stay alone in the country. Although he had gathered that Silas didn't seem to have feelings for her, his intuition told him that Silas was important to her. Even if Silas didn't like Gianna now, it was uncertain that it would remain that way

Therefore, he asked Gianna to return to the country with him so he could take care of her in person

However, how could Gianna agree to that? If he had asked her two weeks earlier, she would have returned with him but now that she had Silas, how could she go back?

That man had endured so much for her so how could she abandon him and go with George? If she did that, he would definitely go mad

It didn't actually matter if Silas would let her leave or not because she herself wouldn't be willing to

Therefore, she listed out reasons why she couldn't go back with George from her career development, her feelings to how she wished to be in her home country

In return, George attacked her conscience and used her seniors and juniors to guilt-trip her. He even made a thorough analysis of the benefits and advantages that she would have if she went back with him. In the end, no one convinced the other so they were in a deadlock.

Taking a puff of his cigarette, smoke spiraled upward and shrouded George's handsome face. Actually, he seldom smoked unless he was extremely frustrated. Usually, nothing could bring him down and he always kept a cool head. This situation must be difficult for him. He couldn't free himself from concern if he allowed her to stay here, but she refused to go with him.

On the other hand, Gianna was upset about this situation too but she didn't have any better solutions

She didn't mean to hurt anyone but Silas was right that it was impossible to have it both ways and protect both of their feelings. She just hoped that they wouldn't be startled by the truth and could accept it. She could differentiate the feelings she had for George and Silas. Although she wasn't sure how far she and Silas would go, she knew that no matter what, George would always be her family. Otherwise, she would've fallen in love with George long ago! Stubbing out the cigarette in the ashtray, George looked up at Gianna. "Do you have to make me use our promise?"

Gianna knitted her brows. "George, why do you have to force me? You know clearly that my studio has just started to operate and South has just gotten used to attending school here. We're really comfortable now so I don't feel like making any changes."

George took a deep breath. "I really regret letting you come back." Back then, he shouldn't have acted nobly and generously. He should have been selfish and stopped them from coming back.

Gianna understood what George was worried about but she didn't have the courage to tell the man, who not only loved her for seven years but was her son's savior too, that she had fallen in love with another man. She knew that she shouldn't have but she couldn't control her feelings. It didn't matter how much effort he had put in or how early he had appeared in her life because one had to be in the right place at the right time and with the right person, just like when it came to her and Silas

She had always thought that she was heartless and wouldn't fall in love with anybody.

But at that specific moment, she agreed to be his girlfriend. She fell in love with him because of how happy he would be when she was happy about the smallest of things, and how gently he looked at her and South. George wasn't inferior to anyone. In fact, he was so perfect that she felt burdened with guilt and didn't even dare to tell him the truth! "George, you're my brother and my teacher, and you'll always be the most important person in my heart. I know that you're concerned for me but I want to settle down. I admit that I lied to you today but I couldn't reject him because Old Man Nolan is extremely pitiful. He has many maids around him but he's actually lonely. South went with me twice and Old Man Nolan likes him, so Silas asked South and I to attend the party because he wanted his grandpa to have a blessed birthday. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I was just afraid that you would be unhappy to know Silas and I are close. However, you don't have to worry because Silas has a lot of admirers and he takes care of his friends. Since I'm his grandfather's savior, he won't let others hurt me."
