Chapter 210 Can I Have A Bowl?
Queenie was stunned when she saw Yuliana’s gaze.
She felt that Yuliana’s gaze was familiar, which reminded her of an afternoon many years ago.
It was Aaron’s third birthday. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Isaac valued Aaron a lot. That day, Isaac held a grand birthday party for Aaron to tell the world how important Aaron was to him. Moreover, he gave part of the company to Aaron.
Sarah got angry over this. In order to help Sarah vent her anger, Queenie figured out a way to teach Aaron a lesson.
Queenie and Sarah took Aaron aside. They teased him with ice cream. It was natural for children to crave foods that they enjoyed eating However, Queenie did not give him the ice cream and instead let it fall to the ground on purpose. They wanted him to lick the ice cream off the ground.
Queenie pressed on Aaron’s neck, which got him into the position of a dog, and smudged his face with ice cream when he refused
Later, Callie came over and saw what happened.
Callie went forward, grabbed Queenie’s hair, and pushed her to the ground. Then, Callie carried Aaron up from the ground and looked down at her with a condescending gaze that she still remembered.
It was cold and indifferent as if she was looking at something insignificant.
Callie said, “If you dare do anything to my son again, I will make sure you regret coming to this world.” Queenie admitted that Callie did have some things up her sleeve. After that incident, she had been
afraid to see Callie for quite some time. However, Yuliana gave Queenie the impression that the former was like a weak little rabbit. Queenie didn’t even want to look at her. According to Sarah, Yuliana was currently a teacher at an elementary school in Juxshire.
Queenie thought to herself, “With her identity, does she deserve to look at me with that kind of gaze?” Queenie curled her lips sneeringly, then withdrew her gaze. She went to her mother, Tanya Hoffman’s side, leaned over, and said something in her ears. As she spoke, she took a glance at Yuliana and Christopher. After two seconds, Tanya also looked over.
Tanya withdrew her gaze and gave Queenie a sharp glare. She warned, “Don’t cause any trouble.”
Queenie shook her mother’s arm like a baby. “Mom…”
Tanya didn’t respond, but her expression darkened. Only then did Queenie keep quiet.
Tanya and Sarah’s mother, Samantha Lumley, were best friends. The friendship between their families could be traced back to the last century. On the other hand, the relationship between the Hoffman and the Xanthos families was extremely close too. As a result, even after Isaac and Samantha divorced and remarried, Tanya remained silent about the anger she felt for Samantha. Even in the eyes of outsiders, Tanya and Callie were on good terms.
Yuliana and Christopher sat with Sarah, Queenie, Kaiden, and a few peers of the Xanthos family, according to the seating arrangement. Aaron was also around. He sat quietly beside Sarah.
Aaron was ten this year.
When Yuliana and Aaron met last time, Aaron was less than six years old. Yuliana was not close to him, but he had addressed her when he was little. However, this time, both of them didn’t even say a word.
Queenie came and sat on the other side of Christopher.
The others didn’t take it seriously, but Sarah glanced at her. Queenie looked back at her and then fixed her gaze squarely on Christopher.
Yuliana glanced at Queenie out of the corner of her eye. Queenie looked over, curled her lips, and gave her a provocative look.
Christopher turned around and separated their gazes. He picked up Yuliana’s bowl, filled it with soup, and set it in front of her. He lowered his voice and said, “It’s a little hot. Drink it later.”
It wasn’t until Hailey came to take care of Yuliana that Christopher realized she was used to having soup before dinner.
Yuliana responded, picked up the spoon, and stirred it gently. However, Queenie’s previous glance flashed through her mind. Her gaze became cold as she lowered her eyes.
Queenie thought Christopher’s gentle voice was pleasant. She finally understood what the netizens meant when they talked about voices that caused eargasm.
However, she thought that it would be even better if the voice was targeted at her.
As she thought of that, Queenie looked at the soup on the table and asked in a soft voice, “Christopher, can you please fill a bowl for me?”
Hearing the voice, everyone at the table turned to look at Queenie.
Kaiden could tell what Queenie was thinking. She had been willful since she was a child, and she never thought about the consequences of her actions. Besides that, she also did not care about others. Everything she did was based on her mood.
However, no matter how capricious she was, that was not the right time.
Before Christopher could say anything, he looked at Queenie with a dark gaze and asked, “Which soup do you want? I’ll help you fill it.”
Queenie glanced at him and said, “I don’t want your help.”
After saying that, she looked at Christopher with an intense gaze and asked again, “Christopher, I can’t reach it. Could you please help me?”
Christopher glanced at Queenie and moved the soup to her front. “Ms. Hoffman, now you can fill it yourself.”
The smile on Queenie’s face stiffened for a split second before she smiled normally and said, “Thank you, Christopher.”
After saying that, she picked up the ladle, filled a small bowl for herself, and then drank it slowly.
For the rest of the time, Queenie ate quietly and didn’t cause any scene whatsoever.
After lunch, Yuliana and Christopher went back to their room to have a rest before going out to walk around.
Yuliana was going to sleep for a while, but she couldn’t sleep when she lay on the bed. Hence, she took out the book on teenage psychology and read it. Christopher was reading a game explanation on his mobile phone
From time to time, she looked up and saw that he was about to fall asleep. He might be feeling bored too.
However, they would just be bored for a day. They would be going back to Juxshire the next day.
Not long later, there were two knocks on the door.
Yuliana went to open the door, and Callie was standing at the door.
Callie had just sent away the guests at home. She had some free time and wanted to go upstairs to talk to Yuliana.
She looked into the room and asked, “Is Christopher resting?”
Yuliana shook her head. “No.”
Hearing the noise at the door, Christopher put down his phone and came over. When he saw Callie, he smiled and greeted her as Mrs. Xanthos.
Callie looked at him and joked, “You and Ana have been married. Shouldn’t you call me Mom?”
Christopher smiled and said, “You’re too young, Mrs. Xanthos. I’m afraid that calling you Mom will make you sound old You’re actually like my sister.”
His words made Callie burst into laughter.
In fact, except for her two own children, she wouldn’t feel comfortable with other people addressing her as Mom. Especially for such a grown man like Christopher, she would feel better if he called her Mrs. Xanthos
After talking with Yuliana and Christopher for a while, Callie called Yuliana aside and wanted to talk to her alone.
They went to a quiet place downstairs and asked Sofia to make a pot of Earl Grey and bring it to them. There were also some desserts that Yuliana liked.
Callie poured Yuliana a cup of Earl Grey and said, “These are all your favorites. I told the cooks to prepare
them earlier. Try it.”
Yuliana picked up a spoon, scooped a small piece, and put it into her mouth. It was still the same taste, but when she ate it again, the feeling she had when she was a child no longer existed. For her, it was just a delicious, ordinary dessert.
However, she didn’t want to let Callie down. She smiled and said, “It’s delicious.”
