Yuliana didn’t answer immediately. The little guy sitting in the walker suddenly started crying. She got up and picked Rowan up from the walker and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Rowan stretched out his hand to scratch his chubby face. Yuliana pulled his hand away and took a look. She found a red bump on his face, and it looked like something had bitten him.

Yuliana said, “I’ll take him in and apply some medicine.”

She then picked up Rowan and went into the house.

Callie sighed heavily as she looked at the backs of those two entering the house.

A few minutes later, Yuliana finished applying the medicine to Rowan’s face and placed him in the walker. She turned around and answered Callie’s previous question, “Mom, I know you’re looking out for me, but I’m different. I’m having a good life with Roe now. If I wish to be in a relationship one day, I will. However, I’m not interested in that now.”

Callie’s face turned grim. “Whatever. I’m being nosy here.”

Yuliana pursed her lips and said nothing more.

In fact, that was not the first time Callie mentioned that to her since she arrived in Jeahron. It’s just that Callie used to talk about it to her casually, and the most she would do was advised Yuliana. Normally, Callie wouldn’t be as angry as she was today.

After a while, Aaron went to the bathroom. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She gave Rowan a toy and asked, “Did you fight with Mr. Xanthos?”

Callie paused, “How do you know that we got into a fight?”

Yuliana looked at Callie again, and the expression on Callie’s face was like a mirror. Callie couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to.

She turned around with a cold face and sneered, “Men are jerks. They take advantage of you the moment you take a step back.”

After scolding, Callie was silent for a while before she said, “Isaac plans to bring his illegitimate son home.” That son was born in October last year by one of Isaac’s many lovers.

It was said that the child looked like Isaac, and a fortune-teller told him that the child would bring him prosperity. That was why Isaac liked him a lot.

After she arrived in Jeahron, Yuliana gradually realized that Callie and Isaac no longer had any feelings for one another since long ago. They led separate lives but were still together because it benefited them.

However, Callie and Isaac had an agreement. Callie didn’t care how Isaac fooled around, but he couldn’t bring anybody home or show up in front of her. Besides, he couldn’t appear on the news to embarrass Callie, let alone have an illegitimate child.

Nobody expected Isaac to play tricks and keep it a secret from Callie. He let his lover give birth to the child after he learned that the child was a boy.

Callie only learned about that after the baby was born. It was too late, as she couldn’t return the baby to his mother’s womb.

Fortunately, Callie and Isaac signed an agreement. Isaac would give Callie some benefits because of the child. Callie could only accept it to cut her losses. However, she repeatedly told Isaac that the child

could only be raised outside and could not bear the surname Xanthos.

Isaac agreed to the conditions.

Yuliana thought Callie and Isaac had already made a deal, but she didn’t expect Isaac to stir up trouble.

It looked like that was the reason Callie was in a bad mood. Maybe Isaac even tried to pressure Callie with the help of the Xanthos family members the day before.

“What do you plan to do?” asked Yuliana.

Callie sneered, “What should I do? We’ll get a divorce if Isaac wants to bring that child home.”

Several years ago, Callie didn’t have the confidence to divorce Isaac Back then, she had no stable foundation.

and had to rely on Isaac’s connections and contacts. On the other hand, it was out of consideration for Aaron.

Aaron was Isaac’s son, and she had to fight for what he deserved.

However, Callie signed an agreement with Isaac last year because of the illegitimate child. Even if she got a divorce, Aaron would get what he deserved.

The only trouble now was that she and Isaac had been married for many years, and their interests were interconnected. It was slightly troublesome to deal with everything.

Callie pondered for a while and only snapped out of her daze when Aaron returned from the bathroom.

She glanced at Yuliana as if she thought of something and said, “Not all men in the world are jerks, and there are some good men. Don’t overthink it because of my issues.”

Callie had lunch with Yuliana and left with a gloomy face after answering a call.

Another week passed.

Yuliana suddenly discovered that the lights in the empty mansion next to her had been turned on.

When Callie helped her search for a house, Yuliana also looked at the building next to hers. However, she felt the building next door seemed dimmer than the one she had moved into. That was the reason she rented her current house.

It was said that the owners of the mansions had gone abroad and weren’t coming back in a short time. That was why they rented the houses out.

Yuliana had no idea if there was a new tenant or if the mansion’s owner had returned.

Yuliana was not a friendly person. She had been living there for several months. Apart from greeting the ladies she met while on walks with her child, she didn’t have many acquaintances.

Therefore, Yuliana didn’t pay much attention to the building beside hers.

For the next few days, it had been raining in Jeahron, and it was chilly. So, Yuliana didn’t take Rowan out. When the rain stopped, and the sun shone, she took Rowan on a walk around the mansion district when the weather warmed up.

On their way back, she saw a familiar figure when she passed by the next-door mansion.

That person was answering the phone with his back to her.

Yuliana stopped several steps away and waited for a while.

After finishing his call, the man turned around and saw Yuliana.

When their gazes met, Wesley reacted first and took two steps toward Yuliana.

“Ms. Livingstone,” said Wesley.

Yuliana glanced at the house behind him indifferently. “I’m no longer a teacher.”

Wesley smiled and said, “Am I not allowed to address you as Ms. Livingstone now that you’re no longer a teacher?”

Yuliana didn’t refute what he said. She paused and asked, “Do you live here?”

Wesley replied, “Yes. I moved in recently. Do you live here too, Ms. Livingstone?”

Yuliana smiled faintly. “Yes.”

“What a coincidence,” said Wesley.

Yuliana said, “Mr. Duncan, I’ll let you return to whatever you were doing. We’re going home first.”

Only then did Wesley look at Rowan, who was in the stroller. The little guy was also looking up at him. He said, “Kids grow up quickly.”

Yuliana smiled softly again and left with Rowan.

She didn’t believe in such a coincidence.

Wesley watched as they entered their house before taking a box of cigarettes from his pants pocket. He took one, lit it, and started smoking while looking at the house. Wesley turned around and left after he finished smoking the cigarette.

For the next few days, Yuliana and Wesley met quite frequently. Every time she took Rowan out for a walk, she saw Wesley standing in the yard. He greeted her when she saw her.

In the beginning, Yuliana answered his greetings. Later on, she began ignoring Wesley and walked past him.

However, Wesley was shameless. He chased after Yuliana when she ignored him and kept doing so until she answered him.
