Chapter 343 Her New Boyfriend

The area was very dark and had some tall green plants next to it.

Wesley’s eyes were deep and heavy, as if something was brewing inside. His fingertip gently brushed the back of Yuliana’s hand, and his thumb scratched her palm, making her feel itchy.

Undoubtedly, this behavior offended Yuliana somewhat,

Yuliana was stumped for words.

In the past, Wesley would never say that kind of word. The two of them had always kept a proper and comfortable distance from each other. They had never crossed the line. However, those two times, Wesley’s actions toward Yuliana twice made her think that he seemed to have changed.

It could be Yuliana had never truly known Wesley.

They walked side by side on the dark road in the mansion district. After a moment of silence, Wesley suddenly asked, “Are you still thinking about him?”

Yuliana pursed her lips gently and said, “Wesley, I’ve always treated you as a friend. Whether I think about him or not, I can’t be with you. Besides, I don’t have any plans for love now.”

She stopped her steps.

Yuliana thought it would be better to take this opportunity to make it clear to Wesley.

Wesley rubbed Yuliana’s palm. It was very soft, as if her hand had no bones. He had thought about holding her hand countless times in the past few years. As expected, it was better than his expectation.

“It doesn’t matter. You don’t want to fall in love now. I can wait until you have the plan for love.” Wesley’s voice was a little low and somewhat hoarse.

Yuliana frowned and did not know how to express herself in a way to dispel Wesley’s thoughts. Or, perhaps, Wesley would not listen to her no matter what she said.

Thinking of that, Yuliana pursed her lips and kept silent for a while. She sent Wesley back to the car without saying anything. Only then did she walk slowly back to the mansion.

In the next few days, Wesley seemed to have nothing to do. He picked up Yuliana every day and had dinner at her house. Then, he played with Rowan for an hour or two before leaving.

Yuliana suddenly did not know what to do with Wesley.

In those few years, Wesley had helped her a lot, especially when Rowan had pneumonia. It had been snowing outside at night, and thick snow was all over the ground. He accompanied Yuliana in sending Rowan to the hospital.

Every time Yuliana felt that she could not hold it anymore, with Wesley by her side, she felt a sense of relief for no reason.

Relatives and friends that Yuliana cherished in her life were very few. So, she cared about Wesley as her friend. She did not want to affect their relationship due to the matter.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June.

Caleb, who had not been in touch for many days, called Yuliana.

Caleb asked, “Do you have any arrangements for Thursday night?”

Yuliana glanced at her schedule and found that she had many things to do on Thursday. According to the normal situation, she had to work overtime at night.

However, Yuliana replied, “No. What’s wrong?”

Caleb answered, “This Thursday is Aunt Priscilia’s birthday. She asked me to have a meal together. Do you want to go with me?”

Yuliana knew the “Aunt Priscilia” that Caleb was referring to.

Caleb was from Jeahron. He was transferred to Juxshire two years ago. He had no other relatives in Juxshire except for his aunt.

Yuliana replied, “Okay. What do I need to prepare?”

Caleb said gently in a deep voice, “No, I’ll arrange everything else.”

“Okay,” answered Yuliana.

“I’ll pick you up on Thursday afternoon,” added Caleb.

After the discussion, the two hung up the phone.

Yuliana could not figure out what Caleb thought about their relationship. However, they always got along like this. They would talk if they had something to share. On the other hand, if they had nothing to talk about, they would not be in touch for ten days or even half a month. It was normal for them.

In Yuliana’s opinion, it was normal. However, what did Caleb think?

Yuliana put away her thoughts in her mind.

On Thursday afternoon, Caleb suddenly had something to do, so he arranged for a driver to pick up Yuliana. When they arrived at Caleb’s aunt’s house, it was already dark.

“Caleb, I heard from Andie that you suddenly had work to do in the afternoon. I thought you couldn’t come!” Caleb’s aunt, Priscilia Jones, was in her forties. However, she was well-maintained and looked only in her early forties.

Today, Priscilia was wearing an improved gown with a floral print. She looked graceful, gentle, and kind, with a good temperament.

Caleb replied with a smile, “Fortunately, it was solved in time. Otherwise, if I really missed your birthday, I’ll be the one to blame, Aunt Priscilia.”

After they greeted each other by the door, Priscilia fixed her eyes on Yuliana beside Caleb. She looked up and down carefully and took Yuliana’s hand. Priscilia asked, “Is this Yuliana?”

Caleb nodded and answered, “Yes.”

Priscilia smiled gently. Her eyes could not pull away from Yuliana. She said in satisfaction, “She looks so beautiful!”

Yuliana smiled politely and addressed, “Mrs. Moss.”

Priscilia smiled and said, “Don’t call me Mrs. Moss. Just follow Caleb and call me Aunt Priscilia. I heard from my sister-in-law that Caleb had a beautiful girlfriend some time ago. I didn’t believe her at first because he was busy with work all day. I thought, how could there be any beautiful girl who would fall in love with him? | didn’t expect it to be true!”

Priscilia was really happy. She hurriedly took Yuliana into the house and sat down. The table had already been set up, apparently waiting for people to arrive to have dinner together.

Caleb looked around and asked, “Where are Uncle Andie and Elaine?”

Priscilia replied, “Andie went out to buy wine and said he would drink with you later. You know, I don’t allow him to drink normally, so there is no wine at home. As for Elaine, that kiddo, I don’t know what she has been up to lately. She had a boyfriend recently. I asked her to bring him to us to have a look. She also agreed to bring him home. However, I don’t know what is happening to them. I called her just now, and she hung up directly.”

When Priscilia said those words, she still put on a gentle expression. It could be seen that she was really good-tempered.

There was a noise at the door when they were talking.

Priscilia stood up with a smile and said, “Sit down. I’ll go and see. Your uncle should be back.”

Yuliana looked around. This was a house with slightly more than 1,000 square feet, but the decorations were simple and warm. There were several photo frames of different sizes hanging on the photo wall. Yuliana’s eyes stayed on the photo frames for a moment She was suddenly stunned.

Yuliana stood up and walked to the wall, staring at the photo frame.

Caleb noticed her movement. He also got up and followed Yuliana. He stopped a few steps behind her, saying. “The photo shows the three of Aunt Priscilia’s family.”

Yuliana knew that that was a family of three.

However, she did not expect that Caleb’s cousin was the girl with Christopher. She thought it was such a coincidence.

With the combination of Priscilia’s words, Yuliana could guess that Elaine’s new boyfriend was Christopher.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Finally, I waited for you to come back.” Priscilia’s voice aroused Yuliana’s attention. The former continued, “Caleb and your sister-in-law are here. I don’t think you care about me at all.”

“Mom, I’m not trying to be late on purpose!” Elaine took Priscilia’s arm and glared at Christopher. She added, “That’s because I went to buy your favorite cake for you, I don’t know what happened today. There were so many people who ordered cakes that even the cake baker can’t bake them in time, so I was a little late.”
