Chapter 382 Mind Your Own Business

Yuliana casually tied her hair into a ponytail with the elastic band on her wrist and answered, “Soon after you left last night.”

She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and asked, “Is your friend okay?”

Wesley sat down at the end of the bed and said, “It’s nothing serious. He’ll be out in a few days.”

Yuliana nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

She hadn’t seen many of Wesley’s friends before. The only one who was familiar with her was Blake.

“I’ll go wash up first”

Yuliana went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, while Wesley arranged the breakfast that he brought neatly on the food tray.

Then, inevitably, his gaze fell on Christopher, who was leisurely asleep on the chair.

As he looked over, Christopher opened his eyes. He was fully conscious.

Obviously, he had already woken up.

The two men looked at each other, and Christopher averted his gaze first and looked at the breakfast on the food tray, saying blandly, “She doesn’t like greasy food for breakfast.”

Wesley bought butter buns and churros, as well as two milk buns and one pumpkin soup.

“Preferences can change,” Wesley replied calmly.

Christopher’s lips curved down, and he gave a sneering laugh.

Then, they didn’t talk anymore.

After a few minutes, Yuliana finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. She noticed Christopher was awake. He was still stretching out his long legs on the foldable chair, lazily looking at his phone. Yuliana ignored Christopher and asked Wesley, “What did you buy for breakfast?”

Yuliana sat down on the bed and glanced at the food tray. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Butter buns from Fragrant Delights!”

Fragrant Delights opened just two years ago and specialized in traditional pastries, with butter buns being their signature dish.

As Christopher had said, Yuliana didn’t like heavy and greasy food for breakfast. However, the food she had eaten for the past two days had all been light and tasteless, which was why she instantly salivated at the sight of the butter buns with thin skin and thick filling.

“Here.” Wesley passed her the knife and fork. “I knew you’d be craving for it.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Christopher from the corner of his eye.

When Christopher lifted his eyelids, Yuliana was taking a bite of the butter buns. The delicious stuffing spread between her lips and teeth. She smiled contentedly and looked at Wesley with bright eyes.

Wesley asked, “Delicious?”

Yuliana couldn’t speak clearly, as her mouth was stuffed with food. She nodded and made a muffled sound to confirm.

Wesley tilted his head and looked directly at Christopher, asking, “Mr. Solace, you haven’t eaten anything yet. Would you like to join us?”

Despite the polite tone, Christopher sensed the underlying provocation in it.

With a smile, Christopher responded, “Great, I happen to be hungry.”

After saying that, he stood up lazily, looked at the food on the food tray, and picked up a churro and a pack of milk. He then put the milk on the windowsill, turned on the screen of his phone with one hand, and ate the churro without any reservations.

Wesley fell silent for a moment. He picked up another pack of milk, poked a straw into it, and then placed it in front of Yuliana. “Here, take a sip. Be careful not to choke.”

Yuliana handed Wesley another set of fork and knife and said, “I can’t finish this. Let’s eat together.”

“Sure” Wesley took the fork and had the same butter buns as Yuliana.

After finishing breakfast, Wesley took the garbage outside to dispose of it.

Christopher threw away the half-eaten churro directly into the trash can next to Yuliana’s bed. “It was terrible,” he commented.

“It’s not like anyone is forcing you to eat,” Yuliana replied calmly, showing no signs of anger.

After looking at Yuliana for a moment, Christopher’s eyes turned cold, and then slowly returned to their usual calmness again. “So, you decided to be with him?”

Yuliana frowned slightly. “It’s my business.”

Christopher remained silent for a while before responding emotionlessly, “Fine.”

Before Yuliana could interpret the meaning of “fine” that Christopher just said, he stood up and left the ward while saying, “I’m leaving.”

The trash cans on every level of the hospital were all located in one spot. Yuliana’s ward was a little far from

1.

Wesley was on his way back to Yuliana’s ward when he happened to see Christopher coming out from inside. Both of them stopped.

Wesley asked, “Do you feel like smoking?”

“Sounds good,” Christopher responded nonchalantly. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The two of them walked toward the smoking area, one in front and one behind.

smoking area was located at the end of the hallway, which used to be a storeroom. It was later

ned into a smoking area.

The area was quite small, just a few square feet, with a window for ventilation.

Upon entering, Wesley pulled out a cigarette and offered one to Christopher. “Cheap stuff. Not sure if you can get used to it, Mr. Solace.”

He saw smoking merely as a way to alleviate stress and stay alert.

He had been smoking this brand of cigarettes for years and had grown accustomed to it, so he never switched to another brand.

However, being born into a wealthy family, Christopher might not be used to it.

Without saying a word, Christopher took the cigarette and lit it with a lighter he took out of his pocket. “I’ve smoked worse brands than this.”

Wesley paused for a moment, and then he quickly put the pieces together.

“Do you regret it?” he asked.

“Whatever choice you make, there will always be regrets. Choosing A will make you regret why you didn’t choose B, but choosing B will also make you regret not choosing A. There are situations where there is no perfect solution,” said Christopher as he exhaled smoke.

Wesley neither agreed nor disagreed. He put the cigarette he had lit up between his fingers without smoking it. “Since you made your choice back then, you just have to leave her alone and stop disrupting her life anymore.”

“Mind your own business,” Christopher sneered, his eyes glinting like a blade.

Wesley flicked the ash off his cigarette. “I’m not interested in your business anyway.”

Christopher and he had always been in business.

“I bet you don’t want her and Rowan to get in danger because of you, do you?” Wesley faced Christopher’s cold gaze without shrinking back. “The closer you get to them, the more likely they are to be in danger.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be protecting her?” Christopher taunted, “Mr. Duncan can’t even protect his own woman?”

Wesley said, “Of course. I will do my best.”

Without a word, Christopher finished smoking and extinguished the cigarette. “I will try my best not to disturb her life anymore. You better take good care of her. If she suffers any harm, even in the slightest, I’ll hold you

accountable.”

After saying that, he strode out of the smoking area.

After staying in the hospital for five days, Yuliana went through the discharge procedures.

She just couldn’t stand lying in bed all day.

Apart from that, Rowan cried and made a scene every day at home and clamored to go to the hospital to visit her.

Despite the doctor’s recommendation against early discharge, Yuliana insisted on leaving the hospital and signed a liability statement to do so.

Nevertheless, she had to return to the hospital for injections on time for the following days.

Wesley had been keeping her company for the past few days of her hospital stay.

Christopher hadn’t shown up since he left that day.

Following her discharge, Wesley ordered that Yuliana should not immediately go back to work and had her rest at home until she fully recovered.

Yuliana wasn’t thrilled about being told what to do at first, but after some thought, she felt that she needed to adapt herself to the new relationship slowly. Wesley was just concerned for her health, and it was something that was bound to happen once their relationship was confirmed.

So, she considered it an early adjustment.

She took advantage of these few days to arrange Rowan’s enrollment in kindergarten.

After careful consideration, Yuliana decided to choose an international private kindergarten.

She chose it since this kindergarten placed a greater emphasis on cultivating children’s individuality. On the other hand, it boasted better facilities, environment, and teachers than public kindergartens.
