Chapter 171 The Grand Opening of Her Studio Gianna’s studio was officially open for business today.
Therefore, she put on a traditional-looking red designer gown in hopes that it would bring out her
curves.
Just as she stepped out of her house, she noticed Silas standing at the entrance. He was dressed in
formal wear as usual but looked slightly different. For example, he chose to wear a red tie as if he
wanted to match her attire. Even the diamond cufflinks on his cuffs looked formal. After scanning his
appearance, she belatedly realized that she knew a lot about him. How did she even notice the color of
his tie and the style of his cufflinks? He had been lying low for a few days, which made her believe that
he decided to ignore her after her rejection. However, she was not used to his absence during that
time. Smiling, she greeted him, “Morning!” Silas replied, “Good morning. You must be very busy these
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdays.” She replied with the same smile, “It’s not too bad. I have help.” He nodded. “Alright. Let’s go.” In
fact, he had been waiting at the spot for some time. After his official confession of love to her, they did
not have many opportunities to talk. He was worried that she might feel awkward and stop coming
around for a few days. Thankfully, he had a solid excuse today to meet her. “Uncle Silas!” South looked
up at him with a smile and greeted him. The man grunted a reply and reached out to caress the kid’s
hair. The little fellow was dressed in a dark-colored suit with a red bow tie at the collar, looking cooler
than anyone else. After leaving the house, Silas told Gianna that she should not be driving because, as
the host, she might need to drink. With that, he successfully persuaded her to enter his car. In the same
space, he felt an illusion of a family of three on a road trip. South was excited about the journey. His
round and dark eyes darted between Silas, the driver, and his mom with an unexplainable enthusiasm.
“Mommy, when the school break is here, let’s go on a trip.” Gianna nodded. “Sure. Where do you want
to go?” “When it’s school break, I want to go skiing.”
“Okay.” “Uncle Silas needs to come with us.” Gianna reflexively stole a glance at Silas. His deep gaze
was fixated on the roads in front, his thick lashes occasionally fluttering. His thin lips were tightly
pursed, and the rugged lines of his jaw perfected his side profile. To be honest, she had always thought
he was handsome, and he treated her very well too. She was thinking a lot about Kate’s words, but she
did not have the courage to add her burden to him. It was impossible for a woman like her, who grew
up deprived of love, to bring him happiness. Or so she thought. “Uncle Silas is busy.” Silas had been
observing her expression from the rear-view mirror, her face cold and stern. He was confused as to
why she looked unhappy even after he had left her alone for days. “I have time,” he chimed in. Gianna
was taken aback. “Huh?” “When you want to go on the trip, just let me know. I have time,” he patiently
elaborated. South’s eyes were smiling, admiring his dad for being smart and sensible. “Uncle Silas, you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmust keep your promise.” Silas met South’s eyes via the mirror and winked at the little boy, feeling
grateful for the tiny cupid. He calmly promised, “I will not go against my promise.” Gianna was
speechless at their interaction. At that moment, she wanted to renege on her promise to take her son
on a trip. “Mommy, look!” South Suddenly pointed at a huge billboard outside the car window, on which
a sentence was printed. It read: Congratulations on the grand opening of Gianna Aubrey’s studio! She
stared agape at the billboard for some time and racked her brains only to confirm that she had never
placed any ads on the billboards. When they cruised down the road, they saw even more billboards
that were similar to the first one. It seemed that the billboards in the entire city were displaying the
same video clip. The clip displayed an assortment of clothes, ending with the congratulatory sentence.
