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 Elaine to find a wealthy and
prestigious man. She only hoped that the man would be nice to Elaine, 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 Elaine’s boyfriend to come 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 glasses today!”
Priscilia smiled. “Ill not waste my time talking to you. We’ve been waiting for you to come 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 place
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 flakes 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 accepted the fish. “Thank you. Mrs.
Moss.”
However, after taking it, Yuliana was in a dilemma. She stared at the fish on her plate. She knew that it was difficult
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor 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 Elaine’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.
Elaine 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 particularly
understand what esports meant, but only knew that it was related 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 plate. After struggling for a long time, she ate it reluctantly.
However, there was a heavy smell of red pepper flakes 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 flakes 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 plate 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 glass and drank up half a glass of wine.
After a few rounds of drinks, the three men were chatting happily. Elaine 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 glasses 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 glasses 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 Elaine and
Christopher coming out of the dining room. Their eyes met, and they proceeded to avert their gaze nonchalantly.
“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, Elaine volunteered.
Yuliana looked at the smile tugging at the corner of Elaine’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,
Elaine said, “There was a problem with the common 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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYuliana did not say anything and followed Elaine to the bathroom in the latter’s room.
When Yuliana went into the bathroom, Elaine waited outside.
After a while, Yuliana came out of the bathroom. Elaine 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 playing with his phone as he sat next to her when she was
having her manicure. She did not know what he was playing, 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
particular. As one of the women was there to accompany 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, Elaine 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, Elaine became more and more unhappy. Just then, the door of the bathroom
was opened, and Yuliana came out.
Elaine stared at Yuliana coldly and sized the latter 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.”
Elaine 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!” Elaine stood up and added, “I simply think that you’re not good enough for Caleb.”
