Chapter 345


    Chapter 345 Sending You Home First


    Priscilia was very pleased that the two could be together. Moreover, they were able to tolerate each


    other and take care of each other. It could not be better than that After all, she did not expect ine to


    find a wealthy and prestigious man. She only hoped that the man would be nice to ine, pamper her,


    and spoil her.


    After a while, Andie finally came back after buying some alcohol.


    “You can even take a long time just to buy alcoholic drinks!”


    When Priscilia spoke, her gentle and elegant attitude immediately changed. In fact, there was a hint of


    a young woman’s gentleness in her tone and manners.


    Andie smiled and said, “It’s rare for Caleb and ine’s boyfriend toe to our house. Thus, I must


    buy good alcoholic drinks to treat them.”


    “But I think it’s you who want to drink it!”


    “We have agreed on this before You have to get ready to drink two sses today!”


    Priscilia smiled. “Ill not waste my time talking to you. We’ve been waiting for you toe back so that


    we can have our meal. The children must be hungry.”


    Having said that, Priscilia invited everyone to the table,


    The dishes were ready for quite some time. However, as the weather was hot, it was still fine.


    They were all homemade dishes, but it could be seen that they took a lot of effort to be made. There


    was braised chicken, steamed fish, and some seafood dishes.


    As they were about to start eating, Priscilia said, “Caleb, Yuliana, and Chris, please do as you wish.


    Treat this ce like your home. No need to be polite. My cooking skills aren’t that good. So, I hope that


    all of you like the dishes.”


    Then, she added, “Yuliana, why don’t you try the fish that I’ve steamed? I used red pepper kes on


    purpose to pickle the fish so that it won’t be too fishy. It should taste savory. Caleb likes this steamed


    fish dish the most.” Priscilia used a serving spoon to lift a piece of the steamed fish for Yuliana. The


    former deliberately picked the most tender part.


    Yuliana’s expression stiffened for a moment. Then, she reacted quickly and epted the fish. “Thank


    you. Mrs. Moss.”


    However, after taking it, Yuliana was in a dilemma. She stared at the fish on her te. She knew that it


    was difficult for her to eat it, but it was wrong for her not to eat it either. Moreover, she did not even


    want to touch her bowl.


    Fortunately, the others’ attention was turned away from Yuliana.


    Andie began to be concerned about ine’s matter. He stared at Christopher for a while without any


    expression on his face and asked, “What’s your job?”


    Christopher put down his utensils, met Andie’s eyes, and said, “I’m busy with an esports club recently.”


    “Esports?”

    Andie frowned.


    ine knew clearly what Andie’s expression meant, so she said, “Dad, esports is just like other sports


    these days. It’s a legitimate profession. They can make the country proud, and it’s very profitable.”


    Andie pursed his lips briefly before he met Christopher’s gaze again. However, Andie did not say


    anything anymore.


    Priscilia was slightly dissatisfied when she heard that Christopher was engaged in esports. She did not


    particrly understand what esports meant, but only knew that it was rted to games and was


    somehow unreliable.


    That was especially true upon noticing that Andie did not seem to approve of it as well.


    The atmosphere in the dining room was tense for a while.


    Yuliana poked the fish on her te. After struggling for a long time, she ate it reluctantly.


    However, there was a heavy smell of red pepper kes mixed with the fish, and she almost vomited it


    out.


    Caleb changed the topic and started to drink with Andie and Christopher. After a few drinks, the


    atmosphere livened up, and there was a smile on Andie’s face.


    Yuliana’s mouth was filled with the lingering taste of red pepper kes after she ate the fish. As the


    taste did not disappear, she started to lose her appetite.


    Priscilia was very enthusiastic and continued to serve the food to Yuliana.


    In fact, Yuliana’s te was already filled halfway with food.


    Yuliana could not help but worry. Suddenly, someone touched her knees briefly. She looked down and


    saw a mint candy on a wide palm. It was the kind of mint candy that people would find at the cashier’s


    desk after they had their meal in a restaurant.


    It was small and wrapped in a yellow package.


    Yuliana did not reach out to take it. She looked up at the person who gave her the candy, but he did not


    look. at her. However, there was a faint smile on his face, and his face was red because of the alcohol.


    At that time, he was drinking with Andie.


    She did not understand what the meaning behind Christopher’s action was.


    In the end, she continued to ignore the candy.


    Then, she picked up her wine ss and drank up half a ss of wine.


    After a few rounds of drinks, the three men were chatting happily. ine joined their conversation from


    time to time. Meanwhile, after Yuliana finished eating, she fallowed Priscilia to the living room to sit on


    the couch. Yuliana also drank a few sses of wine. For more than a year, she had attended a lot of


    business meetings. Therefore, she was able to drink more than before, but her tolerance did not


    change tremendously.


    After a few sses of wine, Yuliana’s mind was slightly jumbled up. Even when she was talking to


    Priscilia, she could not help but be distracted.


    A lot of things and images suddenly came to her mind.


    When Caleb finished eating, he walked out of the dining room and walked toward them. He saw that


    Yuliana’s face was unusually red, and her gaze was slightly unfocused. Therefore, he guessed that she


    was already drunk. He walked over to her and touched her face before asking, “Are you okay? Do you


    want me to send you back first?”


    Yuliana let him hold her face and shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m just slightly dizzy.”


    Caleb hummed in response faintly. He stared at Yuliana for a while. When he looked up, he saw ine


    and Christophering out of the dining room. Their eyes met, and they proceeded to avert their gaze


    nonchntly.


    “I’m going to the bathroom.” Yuliana suddenly got up.


    Caleb looked at her and asked, “Do you want me to take you there?”


    Yuliana smiled and said, “No need for that. You can sit here and chat with Mr. Moss. I can go there


    myself.” “I’ll go with Yuliana!” At this time, ine volunteered.


    Yuliana looked at the smile tugging at the corner of ine’s lips. Then, the former paused briefly before


    she said, “Okay.”


    It was not difficult to find a bathroom in a house that had an area of slightly more than 1,000 square


    feet. However, ine said, “There was a problem with themon bathroom outside a few days ago,


    and we haven’t asked anyone to repair it. Let me take you to the bathroom in my room.”


    Yuliana did not say anything and followed ine to the bathroom in thetter’s room.


    When Yuliana went into the bathroom, ine waited outside.


    After a while, Yuliana came out of the bathroom. ine sat by the bed and looked with boredom at the


    manicure on her fingers that she had just recently made. She had only done the manicure that


    afternoon, but it was poorly done.


    It was because she had a slight disagreement with Christopher when she was having a manicure


    session.


    The source of her unhappiness was that Christopher was ying with his phone as he sat next to her


    when she was having her manicure. She did not know what he was ying, but when she talked to


    him, he ignored.


    her for a while.


    At that time, she was already slightly unhappy.


    Later, other customers arrived at the store to do manicures as well, and there were two young beautiful


    women in particr. As one of the women was there to apany her friend, the former sat at the


    side and waited. Therefore, she started to talk to Christopher.


    Unexpectedly, Christopher responded to her.


    All of a sudden, ine lost her temper and argued with Christopher right there and even scolded the


    shameless woman.


    The situation went slightly out of control, and Christopher left with a grim expression.


    Thinking of what happened after that, ine became more and more unhappy. Just then, the door of


    the bathroom was opened, and Yuliana came out.


    ine stared at Yuliana coldly and sized thetter up casually. Then, she asked, “Does Caleb know


    that you were married before and have a son?”


    Yuliana looked at her as well. “Yes, he does.”


    ine sneered, “You must be very attractive, or perhaps you had some tricks. You can even make


    someone like Caleb fall in love with you.”


    Yuliana did not understand what she meant. “What’s the matter? Can’t Caleb fall in love with me


    because ! was married before and have a son? But isn’t he the same? He was married before and has


    a daughter. Or perhaps, in your subconscious mind, women are supposed to be inferior to men?”


    “I didn’t mean it that way!” ine stood up and added, “I simply think that you’re not good enough for


    Caleb.”
