ir narrowed her eyes at Wesley, growing suspicious and a little confused with his behavior. She


    wondered if he had been smoking in a corner somewhere.


    Wesley chose not to acknowledge ir’s suspicious gaze and continued to walk towards a phone store


    and walked inside. The twodies exchanged confused nces and eventually followed him inside the


    store. Wesley browsed the store’s ss racks and picked out a rather expensive phone for ir. She


    was about to decline his choice, but


    Wesley stopped her before she could protest, saying, “I broke your phone. It’s the least I could do.”


    Holding the brand new phone in her hand, ir discreetly pinched his arm so Cecelia would not notice,


    and hissed in his ear, “What are you doing? You idiot. This phone you bought me is worth almost ten


    times of my old one. I don’t even dare to take out my new phone when I’m on the streets. I’m afraid of


    being robbed.“ More importantly, ir knew that the phone Wesley was currently using was much


    cheaper than the one he just bought. The screen even had a crack on it, but he refused to have it


    repaired or buy a new one. ir did not find it reasonable that he bought her such an expensive phone.


    “If you get robbed, tell me immediately. I’ll help you track the robber down and get your phone back,” he


    said confidently as if it was just a piece of cake for him.


    ir sighed inwardly. She was getting the feeling that Wesley was trying to overindulge her.


    The three of them had lunch at a Western restaurant at noon, and then went back to Niles’ apartment


    in the afternoon. While Cecelia took her afternoon nap, ir busied herself with making some desserts


    in the kitchen.


    Wesley offered to help, but ir rejected it. He had no choice but to sit in the Living room and watch


    her go back and forth in the kitchen.


    Two hourster, ir was done with the cooking.


    She divided the desserts into two portions, one for Wesley and the other for Cecelia, so she could eat


    on her ne ride.

    She neatly packed the dishes into two separate bags. She called out to


    Wesley to inform him.


    “This bag is for you. Inside is a box of mooncakes and mung bean cakes. There’s also a cup of


    strawberry milkshake. Rest assured, it’s a new cup. This bag”-she patted the other bag-“is for your


    mom. I didn’t prepare a milkshake for her since she can’t take it on the ne. Remember to finish the


    food quickly. The weather’s still a little hot, so the food might go bad soon.”


    Wesley looked at the bags and nodded.


    “Okay.” He then shifted his eyes to his phone again.


    ir pouted, slightly infuriated by Wesley’s indifferent attitude. She let out an exasperated sigh and


    continued packing.


    “Go wake your mom up. It’s about time to set out,” she told Wesley without Looking at him.

    Wesley stood up from the couch and went to his mom’s room. Cecelia had already woken up a few


    moments ago and was now lying in the bed, talking with Baldwin on the phone. Hearing the knock on


    the door, she got out of bed and opened the door. She instantly understood and nodded.


    “Wait a moment, dear. I’ll finish packing up,” she said even before Wesley said anything.


    Soon afterwards, Wesley and ir sent Cecelia off at the airport.


    On their way back, ir silently busied herself with her phone. She did not know what to say while they


    were alone in the car. She thought that it would probably not be a good idea to mention returning


    money to him at the moment. She had decided that she would save up some money in the bank and


    pay him back in one lump sum.


    Wesley was also silent. He wasn’t really the type to initiate a conversation, nor was he the type to y


    music in the car. And so, they sat in the car in eerie silence.


    It didn’t help that they soon got stuck in a traffic jam. After ying on her mobile phone for quite a


    while, ir began to feel sleepy and her eyes became strained. She then leaned her head against the


    passenger window and closed her eyes.


    Wesley incidentally caught a glimpse of her when he checked the rear view mirror, and asked in a deep


    gloomy voice, “Feeling bored to be around me?”


    His sudden utterance startled ir, who was about to drift off. She abruptly opened her sleepy eyes


    and Looked at him in a daze.
