We Are Meant To Be

James Feng was about to say something. Then Christy Zhong's phone rang. She glanced at it. "It's from Wen. I have to answer the phone. Maybe she wants to tell me about the kid."

No matter how busy she was tonight, Christy had been worrying about Justin. She also had been praying for him.

Of course, James wouldn't turn her down, for he knew everything about her and the kid.

Besides, her attitude also showed her love for the kid. So he replied flatly, "You can answer it.”

Christy was relieved to hear the words. After all, he was her boss. She needed to be obedient and cautious when staying with him.

Christy put her phone on the ear and asked, "Wen. Is Justin okay?"

There's a tacit understanding between them. Wen also didn't talk nonsense. She told her, "He's still a little feverish. I have taken him to your place. It's Friday tomorrow. If he gets better, I'll send him to school." Christy was very grateful. She was being too nice to her. And she even treated her better than her parents and husband did.

She glanced at James with hesitation. "I don't know whether I can go home soon. Please help me to take care of him. Well. I may get up early and send him to school myself, but that depends."

She was a single mother. It's not easy for her to support her family and in the meantime take good care of her kid.

Though she spoke in a low voice, James could still hear what she said. If she really needed to go home, he wouldn't refuse her.

Wen knew Christy's difficult situation. She was clear about her everything. So she told her thoughtfully, "Don't worry. Just stick to your work. I'll stay with him. After all, I'm his mother."

She said the last words deliberately, for they wanted to hide Justin's identity.

Christy wasn't sure whether James began to doubt it. Nevertheless, they needed to be cautious. And they even lied when talking to remove his doubt.

So she replied, "You really do better than me!" She made the remark deliberately.

Hearing that, James thought, 'She must be very sad because she lost the twins of a boy and a girl. That's why she put other people's child up for adoption.'

It could also explain why she and the twins were so intimate.

They are related. It's fate. Anyway, the bond between them wouldn't disappear.

"Don't stand on ceremony. I'm no stranger. I don't want you to worry about him. That's why I call you. Besides, Ryan really likes me. So work hard. Don't worry," said Wen. "Do you want to hear Ryan's voice?" Christy was anxious to talk with Justin. But she also knew that she must control herself. After all, James sat beside her.

However, it was a heartless thing to say "no". She wasn't that kind of person. So after thinking for a while, she observed immediately, "I'm with president Feng. Let him say just one word."

As she spoke, she gave James a soft appealing look, which made it hard for people to turn her down.

James glanced at her and then nodded slightly.

With his agreement, Christy felt more comfortable when talking with Wen. Before Wen could say something, Christy added with excitement, "President Feng has agreed. Let him talk to me." Actually, hearing what Christy said just now, Wen hesitated for a moment. It seemed to be inconvenient for her to talk with Ryan now.

They had been good friends for many years and they knew each other very well. She could even know her feelings and attitude from her tone.

So she was relieved when Christy added to her earlier statement. She then asked Ryan to come and talk with his mother.

Ryan was smart. They taught him very well. From who they said just now, he had already realized what he should say.

So he took the phone and told her, "Mom Christy. Are you very busy now? Don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's just a fever. I'm a man and it's doesn't matter. You can go back to work."

He had really grown up. Hearing his words, Christy felt heartache. However, she couldn't show her feelings. So she managed to say without emotion, "Good boy. You must do as your mom Wen tells you, okay?"

These years, they had told many lies like this to protect his identity. So she could lie very smoothly now.

As she talked with him, she took a peek at James for fear that it would arouse his suspicion and make him check up on Ryan.

"Of course I'll. You know I'm always a good boy. Don't worry," said Justin calmly.

James could tell from his voice that Christy wasn't his mother.

There's a special link between families. With the special link, there would be a tacit understanding between them.

Christy didn't know James was her former employer. She just didn't want other people to hear Ryan's voice.

So she decided to hang up quickly. "Babe. Don't make trouble for mom Wen. I should go back to work now. If I have time, I'll go home and visit you. Goodbye."

Justin was very considerate. He immediately realized that Christy planned to end the conversation, so he didn't say anything else. "Mom Christy. Goodbye."

James sat next to there and heard everything. He was almost sure that the kid was adopted by them.

After she hung up the phone, Christy was a little depressed and disappointed.

Ryan was her child. But she always let Wen take care of him. She felt very terrible and guilty.

But she knew how to hide her feelings now. She couldn't show the sadness on her face, for she wanted to protect Justin. So she needed to be more cautious. Nevertheless, James still felt her disappointment. So he told her without any emotion, "You can go back later. But come here early tomorrow morning."

How could he be so thoughtful? He showed his tenderness to her! Christy couldn't even believe what she heard.
