Chapter 368 Safe And Well

“Mommy, I’m tired. Can I play for a while?”

Rowan lay on the table. He started whining after just staring at the book for less than ten minutes.

His big round eyes settled on Yuliana pitifully.

Yuliana said, “No. Repeat to me what Mr. Henderson has taught you these days, and you can go play.”

When the mother and son were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study room.

Hailey pushed the door open and came in. She smiled reluctantly and said hesitantly, “Yuliana, Chris is here. He said he had an appointment with you.”

Yuliana paused slightly. “Got it.”

Hailey observed Yuliana’s expression and said, “I’ll go down first.”

After saying that, Hailey turned around and left the study room.

Yuliana withdrew her gaze and stared at Rowan in front of her.

The little boy dropped the book and got into Yuliana’s arms. “Mommy, is there a guest?”

His voice was soft and flattering.

It was obvious that he wanted time to slack off.

Yuliana pinched Rowan’s chubby face. She laughed in exasperation at Rowan’s behavior. “Roe, if you can pay more focus to the book, I will be happy.”

Rowan curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction, “But Mommy, you’re supposed to play with me today.”

In the past, Yuliana always played with him on weekends.

“Roe, you have grown up. You can’t just think about playing all the time,” Yuliana said patiently.

Rowan pursed his lips. “I don’t want to grow up!”

Yuliana felt helpless.

It was really difficult to reason with a child who was only over three years old.

At this moment, she was a little upset. How could she remain calm to educate the child?

“Then, I will take you downstairs to play for a while. After that, I will still need to review with you the lessons Mr. Henderson taught you. You can’t fool around then. Can you promise me that, Roe?”

Rowan smiled and nodded repeatedly. “Okay!”

As a result, Yuliana took Rowan downstairs. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Downstairs, Christopher sat on the couch with his long legs stretched out. He leaned lazily against the back of the couch and was looking at the phone attentively. His eyebrows twitched slightly from time to time. He didn’t immediately notice the mother and son coming downstairs.

It was only when Rowan saw him and shouted excitedly, “Mr. Coke” that Christopher snapped back to his senses and looked at the mother and son.

Their eyes met.

Yuliana looked into Christopher’s eyes, and a blurred picture suddenly appeared in her mind.

She frowned, but Christopher already looked away.

“Mr. Coke, when did you come to my house?”

Rowan immediately ran to Christopher. He was cheerful and excited. He raised his butt and climbed onto the couch, snuggling up to Christopher.

Christopher was afraid that he would fall, so he reached out to hold the boy’s body and said, “I just arrived. Roe, you got up so early today?”

Rowan nodded. “Mommy doesn’t go to work today. We were reading just now.”

“Reading? Christopher raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yuliana, and then asked, “What book were you

reading?”

“Math,” Rowan said while counting his fingers. “One, two, three, four, and five…”

While Rowan was counting. Yuliana sat aside.

Rowan refused to count when he was upstairs Just now. She thought Rowan hadn’t learned it. However, when he came to Christopher, he didn’t need any convincing before he started counting himself.

On the count of 100, Rowan stopped.

Christopher waited until his son finished enumerating before he said, “Roe, you’re so good. You can count to

100!

“Mr. Coke, I can also do spelling and sing Uprian songs!” Rowan raised his chin and was proud of himself. Yuliana was a little unhappy. She asked, “When I asked you to count just now, why didn’t you count?”

Rowan looked at Yuliana with his iridescent eyes.

“Mommy, I accidentally forgot it just now.”

Yuliana didn’t know whether what he said was true or not. She was a little jealous, nonetheless.

Seeing this, Rowan hurriedly got off Christopher and ran to Yuliana with his short legs. He climbed onto the couch and held Yuliana’s face, kissing her on the cheek. “Mommy, Roe loves you the most.”

Yuliana couldn’t help but laugh again. She tidied out Rowan’s clothes and said, “Could you and Granny Hailey go play with Jasper later? I have something to talk about with Mr. Coke.”

Rowan was reluctant. Yuliana coaxed him for a while before letting Hailey take him out.

As soon as Rowan left, the living room quieted down.

No one said anything.

Christopher was looking at his phone, while Yuliana was looking at him.

However, her gaze was emotionless. It was as if her mind was elsewhere, even though she was looking at

him.

After a while, Yuliana got up and poured herself a glass of water. She sat on the couch and drank half of it. Then, she said, “Didn’t you say that we could talk on the phone?”

“Why did you come here in the early morning?” Yuliana silently added in her mind.

Christopher raised his eyes and said, “Didn’t you say you have something to talk about with me?”

Yuliana was rendered speechless.

The morning sun streaked through the thin white translucent curtains on the window and fell on the man’s half body, dragging a long shadow on the ground. The head of the shadow fell on Yuliana’s legs.

Yuliana looked at the shadow on her leg. She pursed her lips and changed her posture, putting the glass on the wooden coffee table and saying, “It’s Ms. Solace. She’s worried about you. She asked my help yesterday to persuade you.”

Christopher paused and asked casually, “To persuade me of what?”

“To persuade you to stop dealing with Mr. Hatfield.”

Christopher’s lips curled down for a bit as he looked at Yuliana. “So, this is all Layla’s idea. What about you? What do you think?”

Yuliana was silent for a moment before she replied, “Ms. Solace was very nice to me. I promised her to help persuade you, but I didn’t think I would succeed. But you are Roe’s father. I hope you are always safe and well.”

“Safe and well, Christopher repeated the words in a slightly unusual tone.

But soon, he returned to his normal facade again. “Don’t worry, Mr. Hatfield will not kill me. As for the others. tell Layla to stop worrying about me and focus on her own life.”

Yuliana said, “Tell her yourself.”

“Okay,” Christopher nodded and smiled. “I’ll tell her myself.”

According to Layla, Christopher had been avoiding her since he got out of prison. He didn’t answer her phone.

or send messages back. She had asked him to go home for dinner several times, but he hadn’t been there at all.

Layla was worried sick about Christopher. Yuliana asked Christopher to contact her, which was in another way, helping her.

Yuliana looked at Christopher and swallowed up her unspoken words.

Christopher asked, “What? What else do you want to say?”

Yuliana was not sure whether she should speak her mind. She was afraid that Christopher would misunderstand her, but since she had promised, she should do it anyway.

After hesitating for a moment, she still said, “You and Ms. Moss…”
