Chapter 580 Your Sister-inw Is Already Here
Keith hung up as he mumbled those words. Cecelia put the receiver down too.
She stared nkly at the half-eaten apple. Baldwin was at work. Bored, she decided to find herself
somepany.
Then, she had a sh of inspiration. She wasted no time in booking a flight to Y City. It had been too
long, and she wanted to see her boys.
Now that Niles had a "girlfriend," as the future "mother-inw," Cecelia wanted to make sure they were
a happy couple. Indeed, she thought it was her duty. So she was going to head over there to do all the
motherly things that she was supposed to do.
ir was kind of embarrassed, taking over Niles'' apartment. It was his space, after all. She pondered
whether she should move into the amodations herpany provided.
Herpany was generous. She was paid just over $10, 000 a month, and benefits included a living
space and meals. Thepany also provided unemployment, sick leave, and even a housing fund in
case thepany apartment wasn''t to their liking.
She wanted to let Wesley know before she moved out, but for some reason, she couldn''t reach him.
Wesley had toe there sometime, so ir decided to wait until he did.
However, before she saw Wesley, she had an unexpected guest.
That day, she came homete. She didn''t have to worry abouting home to anyone, so she had
opted for two hours of overtime. When she opened the door, the lights were on.
Someone sat leisurely on the couch in the living room. ir was surprised to see who it was. "Aunt
Cecelia?"
Cecelia was happy to hear her voice. She stood up and said, "Hey, you''re back. Did you just get off
work? You work too hard. Come and eat. Dinner''s ready."
Cecelia never cooked. Instead, she found a chef to prepare the meal.
ir followed her into the dining room to find that it was a big dinner, with several courses.
Her stomach was already growling, so the smell almost made her drool. "When did you get here?" she
asked Cecelia, trying to hold in her saliva. "Did you cook all this? Just for the two of us?"
"I got here this afternoon. And you know me—I don''t cook. There seems to be too much food, so I
invited Wesley over. He has a healthy appetite. Niles is out of town, so there will just be three of us."
To Cecelia, ir was now like a daughter-inw. She escorted ir to a chair and had her sit down.
"Wesley is too uptight, but his bark is worse than his bite. Just ignore him. We do," she prattled on.
"Oh, okay," ir replied with a nod. Cecelia''s enthusiasm made her feel a little flustered.
On the other hand, deep down, the tiniest part of her longed for the day that Wesley would notice her
and decide she was the one for him; there was still a chance they could be together. So she thought
that she should build a good rtionship with Cecelia.
Remembering neither of them had washed their hands, Cecelia followed her to the bathroom so they
could do just that.
When they got back to the table, Cecelia busied herself withdling soup for herself and ir. ir
took the bowl from her and said, "Wesley isn''t here yet. Should we wait?"
"Nah. He won''t care. Let''s eat. There will be plenty left for him. He can heat it up when he gets back."
ir couldn''t believe her ears. ''Do they always treat him like this?''
Cecelia noticed the stunned look on her face. She reflected on what she had said and then exined,
"He''s been in the army for a long time. He''s not picky. We can leave a portion of each dish for him."
ir nodded anddled a bowl of soup for Cecelia. "Here, Aunt Cecelia, have some soup. You go
ahead and eat. I want to wait for him."
"Oh honey, you''ve been working all day. You must be hungry. You eat. I''ll call him." Cecelia ced the
bowl of soup in front of ir.
Seeing this, ir tried to stand up anddle another bowl of soup for her. But Cecelia put a hand on
her shoulder to stop her. "I don''t need any. Be right back. I''ll call Wesley."
ir said nothing more. ''Wesley is nothing like his mother. Niles is, though. They''re both outgoing.''
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
ir ate the soup absent-mindedly. Cecelia apparently got her son on the line. "Wes, are you on your
way?
Oh, okay. Hurry up. Your sister-inw is already here."
"Kof kof kof." ir choked on her soup when she heard that. "ir, what''s wrong? Down the wrong
pipe?" Cecelia asked. "Wes, your sister-inw is choking. I need to go."
Wesley''s eyes narrowed. ''Sister-inw? Since when are ir and Niles a couple?''
ir felt an exnation was in order. "Aunt Cecelia, Niles and I—"
Cecelia put down her phone and went to get her some water. "Don''t try to talk right now. I''ll get you a
ss of water. You did this at the restaurant too. You should be more careful. Here. Drink some water."
ir took the ss of water and drank.
Feeling better, she took a breath to try to exin again. Right then, the door to the apartment was
opened. Wesley walked in. "Mom," he called.
ir looked at him. He nodded in greeting.
Cecelia walked over to him and held his hand. "We''ve been waiting for you. Niles is out of the country.
You and I should take good care of ir for him."
ir''s face was burning from embarrassment. "Why do you keep calling her my sister-inw?" Wesley
asked in confusion. ''Is she going out with Niles now?''
Cecelia nodded. "Because she is. Didn''t you know? It''s okay. You''ll get used to it soon enough. Go
wash your hands."
ir shook her head vigorously towards Wesley. "Your mom doesn''t get it."
She felt helpless.
Her reaction drew Cecelia''s attention. She was going to get her phone. When she heard what ir
said, she paused. She nced at ir''s red cheeks and seemed to understand. "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..."
