Chapter 342 Do Nof Want To Let Go
Listening to Rowan’s words, Yuliana felt a little distressed. She could not say anything about it anymore. She held him in her arms and said gently, “Yes. When you miss Mr. Coke, just ask Granny Hailey to call him.”
Yuliana hugged Rowan and comforted him for a while. Then, she accompanied him to play with Lego for a little longer to distract Rowan. Finally, Yuliana made the little guy happy. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Hailey’s meal was ready. When Yuliana and Rowan were about to go to the dining room, the doorbell rang again.
Yuliana went to open the door. Wesley stood by the door with a small suitcase in his hand and with a travel-worn expression. He looked tired, as if he had not slept for several days.
Thinking of what happened on Wednesday night, Yuliana felt a little discomfort while facing him again. However, Wesley kept his usual expression and looked at the room. He asked, “Is Hailey ready for dinner?”
In recent years, Wesley had been a regular guest of Yuliana’s house. Moreover, Hailey’s cooking skill was very suitable for his appetite.
Yuliana nodded and answered, “You came at the right time. Hailey just finished cooking.”
Then, she moved aside to let Wesley in.
Wesley put his suitcase at the entrance. He changed his shoes and went straight to the dining room. Wesley said, “I can smell the beef ragout. Hailey must have expected me coming and especially made it for me.”
Yuliana walked behind Wesley and did not answer. However, she knew clearly that the beef ragout was definitely not made for him.
When Hailey was at Jeahron, she learned about the beef ragout from the housekeeper of her neighbor. Although this dish was nothing special, it was not easy to make a dish with authentic flavor.
With the arrival of Wesley, Rowan was the most delighted. Wesley came after Christopher left. Was there anything happier than that?
Hailey also liked Wesley. Every time he came, she would cook some dishes that Wesley liked.
In Hailey’s opinion, Wesley was good in all aspects. Most importantly, he was good to Yuliana and Rowan, especially when they were at Jeahron. Hailey knew clearly that he helped Yuliana a lot.
Hailey thought, “If Yuliana can be with Wesley, she will definitely have a happy life. But…”
Hailey put all her thoughts on the bottom of her heart and did not express them.
With Wesley present, Rowan started to talk and could not keep silent during the meal. He said proudly, “Daddy Wesley, Mr. Coke played cars with me this afternoon! And he also played catching dolls with me. He is so amazing since he caught all the dolls.”
Upon hearing that, Wesley glanced at Yuliana. She ate quietly without looking at him.
Wesley put a coke chicken wing in Rowan’s bowl and asked, “Is that Mr. Coke or Daddy Wesley amazing?” Rowan took a while to think. After thinking carefully, he said, “Daddy Wesley, you haven’t played cars and the claw machine with me. You have played Lego with me, but Mr. Coke hasn’t played with me before. So, I don’t
know,”
Wesley smiled and replied, “I will play with you later, okay?”
“Okay!” Rowan responded excitedly.
After dinner, Wesley took Rowan to play with the claw machine while Yuliana helped Hailey put the bowl into the kitchen.
After getting along with Hailey for a few years, Yuliana did not treat the former as her housekeeper but as her family and elder.
Hailey washed them in the sink first, then Yuliana rinsed them clean beside the former.
Hailey said, “Roe likes Mr. Duncan very much. Every time he comes, Roe will be very happy.”
Yuliana was thinking about something in her mind, so she could not catch the deep meaning of Hailey’s words. She responded casually, “Yes.”
Hailey was silent for a moment and then asked, “What about you, Yuliana?”
Yuliana was stunned and realized what Hailey meant. She answered, “Hailey, I know what you’re thinking, but Wesley and I are just… friends.”
Hailey sighed and replied, “Yuliana, you’re still so young. Don’t disbelieve in love because of two failed. marriages. You see, my husband and I have been married for so many years and long-distance for a long time. We don’t meet much in a year, but our feelings for each other are still the same.”
Yuliana listened to Hailey’s words while remaining silent.
In fact, Yuliana still believed in love. She just thought marriage was not a necessity, but Hailey’s view was different from hers. Hailey thought that all women had to get married and have a family and someone to depend on.
Hailey continued, “Mr. Duncan is a good person. He is kind to you and Roe. Although I have some selfish desires, I hope you can find your own happiness.”
Yuliana smiled and uttered, “I know, but I have no plan to remarry at the moment.”
When they left the kitchen, Rowan and Wesley were having a good time. Yuliana did not join in. Instead, she picked up the tablet and sat on the couch. She found a drama to watch. When Yuliana was a teacher, she did not like to watch dramas. She always watched movies when she had time.
Now, Yuliana was busier than before. Nevertheless, she was not interested in movies but could watch an exaggerated drama.
When it was nine o’clock, it was Rowan’s bedtime. Then, Wesley was ready to leave.
Hailey took Rowan back to his room to wash up. Yuliana sent Wesley to the door and asked, “Did you call a
taxi?”
Wesley replied, “No, Blake is coming to pick me up.”
Yuliana said, “Then, I will stop sending you. After you go back, have a good rest.”
Wesley laughed and asked, “Is it obvious?”
Yuliana nodded. “Your eye sockets are all sunk. Have you been up for a few days?”
Wesley answered, “It’s not that I didn’t sleep. I just didn’t get to sleep for long.”
Wesley had only slept for two or three hours in the past two nights. When he was in his twenties, his body could withstand it, but now he was in his thirties. Even if he could withstand it mentally, his body
was still pronounced.
Yuliana nodded lightly. She wanted to talk to Wesley, but seeing him spend an hour or two with Rowan tiredly. she thought it would be better to wait for him to rest and talk another day.
“Then I’ll go in first. Be careful when you go back.”
After saying that, Yuliana turned around and was about to enter the room, but Wesley grabbed her hand. “Yuliana.” Wesley held her hand tightly and did not give Yuliana a chance to break free. He continued, “Blake’s car is parked at the entrance of the mansion district. Can you send me there?”
Yuliana glanced at her hand tightly held by Wesley. She understood that Wesley would not let her hand go even if she refused.
Yuliana nodded and said, “Okay.”
Wesley loosened his grip slightly. Yuliana thought he was about to let go, but the next second, he put his fingers into the gap between her fingers and locked around hers. Wesley held her hand with one hand while carrying the suitcase with the other hand. They walked toward the gate of the mansion district. Yuliana tried to break free for a while but could not. Then, she called his name, saying, “Wesley.”
Wesley tightened his grip on her instead. He asked, “Did Christopher come here this afternoon?”
Yuliana was stunned, and the movement of her struggle eased. She frowned and said, “Can you let go of me?”
Wesley turned to glance at her and said shamelessly, “I can. But I don’t want to let it go.”
