Chapter 333


    Chapter 333 An Aloof Christopher


    It was not true that ine did not care about her parents’ feelings.


    She had a good rtionship with her parents, as she was the only child in the family. Since she was


    young. they had doted on her and always gave in to her. Of course, she was also a responsible and


    sensible child. She had never disappointed them.


    ine knew that she had fallen for Christopher very quickly. Although they had known each other for


    only half a month, and it was only a few days ago that they confirmed their rtionship, her life had


    already revolved around him.


    Whenever they were apart, she would involuntarily think about him and want to see him soon. When


    they were together, all her attention would be focused on him. She wanted to know everything about


    this man.


    Before ine was in a rtionship with Christopher, she dated other men. However, they were casual


    rtionships, and she was not serious about them. She always refused to bring them home to see her


    parents, even though her mother had requested her to.


    She knew that those rtionships would notst.


    She had never liked a man as much as Christopher.


    Christopher had juste out of prison. Although he was wrongfully imprisoned, he was still a criminal


    in her parents’ eyes. Most importantly, Christopher had been married and had a son with his ex-wife.


    Her parents would definitely object to their rtionship.


    However, ine knew that as long as she was insistent, her parents would give in eventually.


    The only thing ine was not sure about was Christopher.


    ine could sense that Christopher liked her very much. Although he was usually aloof, he was willing


    to apany her to do the things that young girls liked to do. However, at times, when Christopher


    was focused on something else, ine felt very distant from him.


    She could not touch or feel his presence, even when he was close to her.


    Earlier, she was talking to Christopher excitedly about her mother’s birthday, hoping that he could catch


    her hint. Christopher merely looked out of the window as he smoked his cigarette. He appeared so


    detached that ine wondered if he had heard her.


    However, his response showed that he heard what she said.


    ine felt a little resentful about Christopher’s nonchnt attitude. She had never felt so insecure in a


    rtionship. She started throwing a tantrum as she huffed and said, “You can tell me honestly if you


    don’t wish to. Don’t give me such excuses.”


    Christopher looked straight ahead and turned the steering wheel. “I’m afraid I will make your mother


    unhappy if I appear on her birthday.”


    ine was not appeased by Christopher’s exnation.


    Christopher did not speak any further.


    Seeing that Christopher did not bother to coax her, ine felt more confused.


    She started to rationalize Christopher’s behavior.

    ine decided that Christopher was right.


    It was her mother’s birthday. If she knew that ine’s new boyfriend had been in prison before and was


    even married with a kid, she would inevitably get angry.


    When they were about to arrive at Glory Tower, ine turned to look at Christopher. “I’ve already


    promised my mom that you’ll be there. How am I going to exin to her if you don’t go? Don’t worry. I’ll


    be around. I’ll make sure that my parents are fine with your presence.”


    Originally, ine thought she could take control of the situation by using her mother’s birthday to test


    Christopher. Little did she know that she would now be the passive party.


    Finally, Christopher cast a nce at ine and said, “I’ll go.”


    With that, ine’s unhappiness dissipated.


    The restaurant Wesley booked was not far from Glory Corporation. Yuliana had been there with her


    colleagues in the past..


    Normally, it would take a few minutes to get to the restaurant, but it took nearly half an hour for them to


    get there because of the traffic jam.


    It was a traditional restaurant, but it was somewhat different from the other restaurants.


    Every dish was exquisite and unusual. They were suitable for a party of friends or a family of three to


    four. Wesley took some time off to pick Rowan up at thest minute. As he made the reservationste,


    all the private rooms were fully booked. They could only eat in the public dining area.


    The waiter led them to the table that was reserved by Wesley.


    The waiter handed the menu to Wesley, who casually handed it to Yuliana and gestured for her to order


    some food.


    Yuliana did not stand on ceremony. She looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes. She then asked


    Wesley if he wanted to order anything else.


    Wesley was serving water to Rowan. Hearing Yuliana’s words, he replied, “I can eat anything. Just


    order whatever you want.”


    Hence, Yuliana ordered two more items and handed the menu to the waiter.


    Rowan was probably very thirsty. He gulped down more than half a cup of water, and water was


    dripping from the corners of his mouth. Yuliana took a tissue to wipe his mouth. “Did you eat something


    that you shouldn’t eat just now?”


    Rowan’s eyes rolled before turning to look at Wesley, who was sitting opposite him. Rowan said softly,


    Jasper said that if you marry Mr. Duncan, he can be my father.”


    Yuliana and Wesley were both stunned. They looked at each other. Wesley had a meaningful look in


    his eyes, while Yuliana avoided his gaze subtly. She smiled at Rowan. “Do you know what marriage


    is?”


    Rowan thought for a while and said, “Just like Jasper’s father and mother. They live together.”
