    Chapter 208 So What?


    Sensing Yuliana’s gaze on him, Christopher looked at her. Immediately, his eyes glinted mischievously.


    Sarah saw the interaction between the two and interrupted them with a smile. “Yuliana, Christopher,


    let’s go in and talk instead of standing here. My father and Mrs. Xanthos are waiting for you!”


    Yuliana nodded, and she and Christopher followed Sarah inside.


    When they arrived at the door, they saw Callie walking out with Isaac beside her. At the sight of


    Yuliana, Callie paused. The next moment, she smiled and opened her arms from a distance while


    quickly walking toward Yuliana. Upon approaching Yuliana, Callie hugged her.


    “Ana, I missed you so much.”


    Callie’s voice sounded bitter. The emotions her voice revealed touched Yuliana slightly.


    Yuliana and Callie hadn’t seen each other for several years, but the former did not miss Callie a lot. Yet


    now that Yuliana was being hugged by Callie, Yuliana remembered her childhood days.


    Callie was an ambitious and career-oriented person. After giving birth to Yuliana, she only took half a


    month’s rest before devoting herself to work again. Callie wasn’t home most of the time, which made


    Yuliana unhappy. The young Yuliana couldn’t understand why other children’s mothers could


    apany them, but her mother couldn’t


    Therefore, every time Callie came home, Yuliana would deliberately throw a tantrum. However, Callie


    never coaxed Yuliana and allowed thetter to lose her temper. After Yuliana calmed down, Callie


    would then hold Yuliana in her arms and exin why she couldn’t apany Yuliana.


    Callie liked perfume. Yuliana remembered that there were always various perfumes on Callie’s vanity


    table, and all of them smelled great. Whenever Callie wasn’t home and the young Yuliana missed her,


    Yuliana would spray Callie’s perfume on the nket so that it would feel like Callie was by her side


    when she slept.


    It made Yuliana feel at ease.


    Back in the present, Yuliana patted Callie’s back tofort her. “I missed you too.”


    Seeing this scene, Sarah smiled a bit sarcastically.


    After hugging for a while, Yuliana and Callie let go of each other. Then Yuliana looked at Isaac and


    nodded at him with a smile. “Mr. Xanthos.”


    Isaac looked at Yuliana sentimentally. He rubbed her head like how he did when she was a child and


    said, “1 haven’t seen you for a few years. You’re such a grown-up now.”


    Thest time Yuliana met Isaac was during the summer vacation of her junior year at university.


    Next, Callie and Isaac looked at Christopher, who was behind Yuliana. Unexpectedly, Yuliana felt a little


    nervous. It was the first time she was taking Christopher to see her elders. Not only that, they had


    already gotten their marriage certificate, and she was now pregnant.


    Yuliana’s attitude now was totally differentpared to when she faced Sarah calmly earlier.


    Just as Yuliana was about to introduce Christopher to Callie and Isaac, Christopher stepped forward


    and took Yuliana’s hand. Looking at Christopher, Yuliana saw him smiling politely as he said, “Mrs.


    Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos. My name is Christopher Sce. I apologize for onlying to meet you with


    Ana today.”


    Before they came here, they had discussed how to address the elders.


    Callie nced at Yuliana’s and Christopher’s intertwined hands and smiled. “It’s fine. As long as you


    are nice to my daughter, it doesn’t matter if you meet us or not.”


    Isaac chimed in, “Come on in. You must be tired after several hours of flight. The room has been


    arranged. You can rest there first ande downter at lunchtime.”


    With that, he shot Sarah a look.


    Sarah hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Yuliana, let me take you to your room.”


    Hearing that, Yuliana nced at Callie. Callie exined, “We have a lot of guests today, and I may not


    be able to take care of you all the time. It’s inconvenient for you to move around now, so go to your


    room and rest first I will go upstairs to check on youter.”


    Yuliana nodded and went to the guest room on the third floor with Sarah.


    Sarah didn’t stay for a long time. After exchanging some pleasantries, she went downstairs.


    Yuliana had been running around these days, and she was indeed a little tired. In fact, she didn’t have


    a good restst night because she had to pack her things while preparing the gifts she would be giving


    to Callie and Isaac here at Jeahron. Now, she could finally sit down and rest for a while.


    As soon as Sarah went downstairs, she saw Queenie Hoffman walking over


    “Your stepmother’s daughter and son-inw are here?”


    “Yes.”


    “Why didn’t I see them?


    Sarah nced upstairs and said, “I just walked them upstairs. They’re resting in the room.”


    Queenie and Sarah had known each other since they were young. They had been best friends since


    childhood, and it could be said they were closer than sisters. Now that Sarah was engaged to Kaiden


    Hoffman, the elder brother of Queenie, the two women were even more closely rted.


    Therefore, Queenie was well aware of everything about the Xanthos family.


    Having met Yuliana before, Queenie clicked her tongue and remarked, “Are they hiding in the room


    right aftering here because her husband is too average to be shown to others?”


    Hearing those words, Sarahughed. “You’re wrong! I don’t know what’s so charming about Yuliana


    that she can still marry a rich man after getting divorced before. I have to admit her husband is quite


    good-looking.” Queenie raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Really?”


    Sarah was not very particr with looks. She judged men by their identity and status. If a man did not


    have a high social status, it was useless to Sarah no matter how handsome he was. Since Sarah


    mentioned that Christopher was good-looking, it must mean he was quite attractive.


    Sarah shrugged and said, “You’ll find out if it’s true or not when you see himter.”


    Christopher and Yuliana rested in the room for a while, and then Callie came and led them downstairs.


    The Xanthos family had invited their rtives and the Hoffman family to the banquet.


    Sarah and Kaiden would be getting married in the first half of the year. In addition, the two families had


    always had a good rtionship, so the Xanthos family invited the Hoffman family.


    Most of the Xanthos family members had seen Yuliana, but it was Christopher’s first time here. Callie


    took the couple to meet the elders of the Xanthos family one by one, and then Sarah led the couple to


    meet their peersPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    When Sarah brought Christopher and Yuliana to the game room, Kaiden, Queenie, and two other peers


    from the Xanthos family were ying cards.


    Sarah briefly introduced them to each other.


    Kaiden asked, “Mr. Sce, do you y cards? Care to join us?”


    “Sure.”


    Christopher grinned and led Yuliana over by the hand.


    “Perfect. I’m not good at ying anyway.” Queenie immediately stood up from her seat and smiled at


    Christopher. “You sit on my spot. I’ll just watch from the side for a while.”


    Christopher thanked Queenie and sat down on the chair.


    Just then, a housekeeper moved a chair over and ced it next to Christopher before motioning for


    Yuliana to sit down. After thanking the housekeeper, Yuliana sat down next to Christopher.


    Meanwhile, Queenie approached Sarah and stared at the man beside Yuliana from a distance for a


    moment. Then she smiled andmented, “He is indeed good-looking. He’s my type.”


    Shooting Queenie a nce, Sarah said, “So what if he’s your type? He and Yuliana have already


    gotten their marriage certificate. They’ll probably be having their wedding this year as well.”
