Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 386

Chapter 386 What Do You Think?

Yuliana didn’t feel repulsed when kissing Wesley.

She wouldn’t be repulsed even if they were to do more intimate things either.

However, she was not mentally prepared and quickly drew a line in their relationship.

Wesley, on the other hand, was able to hold himself back and respected Yuliana. Just as he was about to lose control, his strong sense of self-restraint allowed him to let go of her.

Yuliana frowned slightly and tilted her head to look at him. She noticed that his forehead was covered in sweat, and the veins on his head were slightly pulsating. Seeing this, Yuliana felt that her throat was dry and tense, and her voice was slightly hoarse when she asked, “Are you okay?”

Wesley turned to meet her gaze and grazed a finger across her face. “What do you think?”

Then, he swiftly withdrew his hand and shut his eyes. “Go wash up. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to hold myself back.”

Looking at him, Yuliana suddenly found the situation to be a little funny. However, she didn’t tease him, for she truly wasn’t prepared.

Therefore, she quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

The lavatory and bathroom were connected but separated by a glass door.

Last night, she took a shower.

She was wearing one of Wesley’s oversized T-shirts at the moment, and her clothes were placed on the rack at the side. They were neatly folded and stacked. Yuliana picked her clothes up and took a

whiff, finding. there to be a faint fragrance of detergent on the fabric. Evidently, it had been washed.

Yuliana felt at ease all of a sudden and curled the corner of her lips into a smile.

After washing up, she put on her clothes and came out of the bathroom. Wesley was no longer on the bed, and when Yuliana went out to have a look, she found that he had already washed up and changed his clothes, and the man was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Yuliana walked over and asked, “Do you need my help?”

“Do you know how to?” Wesley tossed her a glance.

In the past, Yuliana had learned how to cook from Hailey. She did a lot of cooking for a period of time, and the dishes she made were decent. Unfortunately, she had been too busy in the past year and only had a handful of opportunities to go into the kitchen and whip something up..

“I know how to cook, but I can’t guarantee if it tastes good.” Yuliana smiled as she spoke. “I’ll leave the cooking to you and just be involved in the eating, then.”

Wesley didn’t have many opportunities to cook. After all, he didn’t spend much time at home, and the condominium was merely a place for him to sleep. There wasn’t any food stored in the refrigerator and cabinets, besides spaghetti and a couple of eggs.

In fact, even Wesley had no idea when he purchased the spaghetti.

He looked at the expiration date on the packaging and noticed that the spaghetti had yet to expire.

Some ten minutes later, Wesley had whipped up two plates of pasta and two plates of golden-colored scrambled eggs. The colorful sauce and garnishes on the dishes made them look rather appetizing.

After breakfast, Wesley sent Yuliana home.

Rowan had already gotten out of bed and was in midst of having his breakfast.

When he noticed Yuliana and Wesley had returned, he placed the fork in his hand down and ran toward Yuliana with a grin plastered on his face. “Mommy, why did you come back with Daddy Wesley?” asked the curious boy

Yuliana felt slightly embarrassed. Just as she was cooking up an explanation for Rowan, Wesley picked the little guy up and threw him in the air twice. Amused, Rowan burst out in fits of giggles.

“More. Daddy Wesley, more!”

Wesley threw the little guy in the air again and caught him.

After a while, Rowan forgot about the question he’d asked his mother and was entirely focused on playing with Wesley.

Hailey watched them with a smile on her face. “Yuliana, have you had breakfast with Mr. Duncan? Or would you like me to cook something for you two?” she asked.

“We’ve already eaten. I came back to see Rowan and to get a change of clothes. I’m heading to the office after this,” said Yuliana.

“Okay.” After a pause, Hailey asked again, “Will you and Mr. Duncan be back for dinner tonight?”

Yuliana had a huge backlog of things to settle as she was away for a period of time due to her illness. She wanted to deal with the matters that had accumulated as soon as possible, and in order to do that, she’d have to work overtime at night. However, she had just confirmed her relationship with Wesley, so Yuliana thought it’d be best if they spared some time for each other.

At that thought, she shifted her gaze toward Wesley and asked, “Do you have any plans at night?” Wesley’s work was uncertain, and most of the time, he was even busier than Yuliana.

While playing with Rowan, Wesley replied, “I’ll pick you up at work tonight and then come back to enjoy some of Hailey’s dishes.”

“Okay. I’ll ask someone to send over more ingredients so can cook up some delicious food for you two. Yuliana had just recovered from her illness, so it’d be best if she can get some nutritious foods.” Hailey smiled as she spoke.

Yuliana went upstairs to change her clothes, then Wesley sent her to the company.

As soon as she arrived at the elevator, she saw Craig standing there in a gray suit, staring at the floor number displayed above the elevator as if he was in a daze.

“Good morning, Mr. Newton.” Yuliana’s voice snapped him out of his daze.

He turned to look at Yuliana. “Ms. Livingstone, good morning!”

Then, his eyes fell on the side of her neck behind her ear. There was an ambiguous red mark on that spot, and he need not think to figure out what was going on.

Yuliana noticed Craig’s odd gaze and looked at him, perplexed. “What’s wrong?”

Craig withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing.” Yuliana felt that the man’s attitude toward her was a little strange, but she couldn’t quite figure out why.

At that point, the elevator arrived.

Both of them took the elevator but neither conversed with the other throughout the entire ride.

After getting out of the elevator, they walked toward their own offices without even greeting each other.

Yuliana put down her bag, took off her coat, went to the restroom, and carefully checked her makeup and outfit. There was nothing visually off about her, so she couldn’t help but wonder what was up with

Craig’s gaze.

Just as Yuliana was dwelling on the matter, the director of the HR department emerged from one of the restroom stalls and greeted her with a smile, “Good morning, Ms. Livingstone!”

The director of the HR department was in her early 30s. She was unmarried, but she was an extremely capable person.

Yuliana echoed the director’s greeting, then noticed that the latter was staring at her neck, just like Craig mere moments ago. Moreover, the director even had an ambiguous smile on her face.

This made Yuliana subconsciously touch her neck. “What’s wrong?”

The director didn’t answer. Instead, she tilted Yuliana’s head and asked the latter to look in the mirror.

Realization dawned upon Yuliana when she saw the red mark on the back of her neck.

The night before, Wesley was nibbling on the area for a long time.

“I have a concealer. Would you like to cover it up, Ms. Livingstone?” asked the director.

Yuliana stroked the area with her fingers and smiled. “No, it’s okay.”

Then, she went back to her office.

In the morning. Yuliana convened a meeting with the heads of the departments. She hadn’t been in the company for some time and wanted to know the situation in the departments as soon as possible through the meeting. The meeting didn’t take long and ended in about an hour.

However, there was a slight disagreement during the meeting.

Craig refuted Yuliana’s words several times. He didn’t speak in a serious tone, but more so in a joking. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

manner.

This was the first time that Yuliana had encountered such a situation since she came to Glory Corporation.

In the past, no matter what Yuliana said, Craig would always support her. Even if those decisions were wrong. Craig would never allow Yuliana to be embarrassed in front of an audience.

Hence, seeing this, the others didn’t dare to say anything.

Although Yuliana was the boss, the heads of the departments were well aware of how Yuliana rose to her current position and what Craig’s identity was within the company.

After the meeting. Yuliana called Craig to her office.

“Mr. Newton, if you have something against me, you can tell me directly.”
