Chapter 594 Your Mom Is So Awesome


    When she heard what Wesley said, ir secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She used to wonder if he was


    gay. Now she was sure he wasn''t.


    Her cheeks burning red, ir turned around and broke into a brisk trot to hide her shyness. "What are


    you talking about? Sounds like you''ve given this a lot of thought. Like you''d worry about me no matter


    what."


    "You''re right." Wesley didn''t deny it. He would worry about her if she lived alone or even if she lived


    with a female colleague.


    ''He just admitted it! He didn''t try to lie or y it off!'' ir thought. "If Hartwell says anything, don''t tell


    him we live together," she said.


    "That depends,"


    Wesley said with a shrug.


    The two drove to a nearby shopping mall. They proceeded to the food court, and at ir''s suggestion,


    they went in on a three-sauce simmer pot—a shareable hot pot with herbs and juices from 10 different


    types of vegetables, seasoned with rice wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce. They got to choose the


    meats that went into it, and his selection was beef with enoki mushrooms, while she wanted frog legs. It


    all smelled so delicious they couldn''t eat it fast enough. After that, they went to the department store to


    buy pans, dishes, scrubbies, detergent,mps etc., to set up the apartment.


    On their way home, ir got a call from Cecelia. She touched down safely in her home country and


    Baldwin picked her up from the airport. "You must be tired now, Aunt Cecelia. Get some sleep," ir


    said in a soft voice.


    "Sure. Hey ir, are you with Wesley now? Can you tell him I got home alright?"


    ir was at a loss for words for a bit, and didn''t know whether she should tell her the truth or not. Then


    she looked at Wesley and answered honestly, "Yeah, we just had supper. I''ll let him know."


    "Thanks, ir. Get him to take you back home. You need to go to bed early too. I''ll call Niles and ask


    him to check on you tomorrow."


    "No need for that, Aunt Cecelia. I''ll call him myself," ir said hurriedly. ''Maybe I should ask Niles to tell


    his mom the truth.''


    "All right. Goodbye, ir."


    "Bye, Aunt Cecelia."


    After hanging up, ir called Niles. "Hi Niles!" she said.


    Upon hearing that, Wesley cast a meaningful look at her.


    "Hey sis-inw. What''s up?" Niles'' cheerful voice came from the other end of the line.


    "What? No, I''m not— Never mind. I''m calling to tell you that your mom probably needs to be


    straightened out on our rtionship. I told her a couple times, but she didn''t listen." ir felt rather


    helpless.


    "It''s not a big deal. We don''t need to tell her right now," Niles said nonchntly. ''If Mom knows that


    ir isn''t my girlfriend, then Grandpa will find out. He won''t buy me the house then!'' he thought.


    "Wait! What?" ir couldn''t believe her ears.


    Niles tried to recover from his fumble. "Oh, I mean...I''m really busy now. I''ll call her when I''m done


    working. Okay?"


    "Okay. Niles, your mom is so awesome. You better find a girlfriend soon so that she won''t pair me off


    with you."


    After some consideration, Niles said, "The easiest way is for you to get together with Wesley. Then we''ll


    both be happy. What do you think?" ''Oops, I was wrong. It''s not that ir doesn''t want to be with


    Wesley, but the other way round, '' he thought.


    ir cast a casual nce at Wesley and answered, "No, no. I''m not your brother''s type. He''s trying to


    foist me on you."


    Wesley stopped walking and stared at her with a frown.


    "On me? You''re kidding! Know what? My brother may be all serious on the outside, but he''s really


    passionate and gentle. Don''t give up! I believe in you. Keep at it, and you can really be my sister-in-


    ''Passionate and gentle?'' "Bwahaha!" Niles'' words made irugh out loud. But as soon as she saw


    Wesley''s deadpan face, she stoppedughing and made a face. "You know him well."


    "Of course! You have to know this! You remember I told you he stroked your hand—"


    "Niles Li!" The angry roar made Niles shiver. He wondered why he heard Wesley''s voice on the other


    end.


    "ir, am I hearing things?" Niles asked with the utmost care.

    Wesley took away ir''s phone and told Niles, "No, you''re not hearing things. Keep talking. What were


    you going to say?" So now a private conversation couldn''t be private, not where Wesley was


    concerned.


    "Wesley... Um...you''re a handsome guy. You and ir are a perfect match. You''re meant to be


    together. Uh...ha-ha... I still have work to do. Bye!" Before Wesley could say another word, Niles hung


    up the phone.


    Wesley stared at ir''s phone and recalled what Niles said. ''So he saw me stroking her hand at the


    hospital?''


    He was about to give the phone back to ir when he met her teasing eyes. Now he was sure that


    Niles said something about that.


    His tanned face seemed to have blushed. ir widened her eyes and tried to see if she was seeing


    things. Wesley gave her phone back and walked forward quickly. "Niles always makes up stories. Just


    ignore him," he said, trying to hide his shyness.


    ir tittered under her breath. Judging from Wesley''s reaction, she was sure that what Niles said was


    true. She wondered when that happened, when Wesley stroked her hand.


    "Okay," she said, just to make him happy. She resolved to pump Niles for informationter.


    When they went back to the apartment, Wesley didn''t walk in. "I''ll go to my dorm to fetch my stuff."


    "Moving in so quickly?" ir asked in disbelief. She couldn''t believe her ears.


    "Mmm hmm." Since Wesley had made up his mind, he would move in as soon as he could.


    "All right..."


    Wesley left, and ir began to unpack her stuff. When she took her clothes out of the suitcase, she


    found a particr shade of lipstick and a bottle of perfume. She didn''t remember buying these. How


    had they gotten there?


    The lipstick was of the same brand as the one Cecelia had bought. The perfume''s brand was Jo


    Malone London.


    ''These aren''t mine. Maybe Cecelia forgot them?''


    Cecelia was one of ir''s WeChat friends. ir took a picture of the lipstick and perfume and sent it to


    her along with a voice message asking, "Did you forget to pack these, Aunt Cecelia?"


    Cecelia was ying on her phone. Seeing the message, she replied immediately, "No. They''re not


    mine. I didn''t forget a thing. And I never use that fragrance."


    ''Not hers?'' ir grew even more puzzled.


    Cecelia, on the other hand, took a closer look at the picture and told her husband, "ir found some


    lipstick and a bottle of perfume. She asked if they were mine."


    "Howe? Did you buy those for her?" Baldwin asked casually.


    Cecelia shook her head. "I offered to buy her lipstick, but she turned me down. We didn''t go to any


    perfume store."


    After a pause, Baldwin asked, "You and ir went shopping with Wesley?"


    "Yeah. He could give us advice and carry our bags for us. By the way, I never knew my son was so


    generous. He paid for everything I bought. I got her clothes, shoes and bags, but he insisted on paying


    for them. My son is so considerate and caring. He treats me so well," Cecelia said cheerfully.


    Baldwin almost chuckled when he saw his wife''s happy face.


    ''That''s funny. He bought them for ir, '' he said in his mind. "What else did you buy?"
