“ir, don’t be shy. We’re all family here. I like you. You and Niles are good together. I’ll call him right


    now and tell him what we’re doing.”


    Wesley averted his eyes from ir and walked into the bathroom.


    ir was desperate for a way to make Cecelia understand.


    “Aunt


    Cecelia, I’m not being shy. You don’t get it. I live here, but I’m not


    Niles’ girlfriend. We’re just friends.”


    Cecelia patted ir’s hand.

    “Shh, I’m video chatting with Niles.”


    “Aunt Cecelia…”


    “Son,e here! Look who I am with!” Cecelia adjusted her phone and aimed the camera at ir, who


    seemed to have something to say but didn’t know how to do so. Right at that moment, Wesley walked


    out of the bathroom.

    Niles didn’t show up in the video until two secondster when he turned on the Light.


    “Hello, Mom. Oh, you’re with ir and Wesley.”


    “Right. It would have been so great if you were here too. But it’s okay, dear. You focus on your studies,


    and I’ll take care of ir for you. Look at the dishes I had a chef prepare. They look yummy, don’t


    they?”


    As Cecelia and Niles began an animated discussion, Wesley sat opposite


    ir and grabbed a bowl todle some soup


    Seeing that, ir had an idea. She stood up and snatched the bowl away from him, “I’ll do it for you,”


    she uttered gantly.


    Cecelia was surprised to see this helpful effort. Wesley nced at his mom, but didn’t turn ir down


    Afraid that Niles would get jealous on this sight, Cecelia covered the phone camera and scolded her


    older son, “Wesley, why did you ask ir todle soup for you? Use your own hands!”


    Actually, Niles had already seen what ir was doing.


    Finding it interesting, he asked deliberately, “Mom, is irdling soup for my brother?”


    Cecelia felt that the situation was getting awkward. She removed her hand from the camera and told


    him, “Yes, but she Ladled soup for me too. She is really a thoughtful girl.”


    Niles couldn’t understand why his mom was saying that, and ir herself was Left speechless. Wesley


    kept on eating, as if what was going on didn’t concern him at all.


    ir kicked him under the table. He paused and Looked up at her.


    When she saw that Cecelia wasn’t paying attention to them, ir mouthed to Wesley, “Exin.”


    She had tried to rify her rtionship with Niles to Cecelia, but it had only caused more


    misunderstanding.
