Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 237 Rowan

Her tears fell on Christopher’s fingertips, and the wet and warm feeling spread from his fingertips to his heart.

Christopher’s heart trembled violently at that moment, and an endless soreness spread from his chest to his limbs,

making him almost unable to breathe.

Christopher took Yuliana’s hand in his and pressed it to his lips. He was silent for a long time.

He lowered his head slightly, his thin eyelids covering his eyes. “I’m sorry, Ana.”

Yuliana couldn’t see the emotions in his eyes, but she could hear his voice tremble and choke.

Christopher had already apologized to her the night before.

She knew she couldn’t blame him. No one had expected that to happen, but when she was at her most desperate

and fearful, she had hoped for Christopher to appear in front of her immediately.

“I don’t blame you.” Yuliana smiled faintly. “I’m just a little… sad.”

There were other emotions that she couldn’t tell him.

She couldn’t bear to pressure Christopher with those emotions after she had seen him like that. It would only make

him feel more terrible.

“Christopher, if this happens again in the future, you must rush to my side as soon as possible, okay?” she said

softly after a while.

Christopher felt as if someone was squeezing and tearing at his heart when he heard that. There was a dull breath

stuck in his chest, and he said softly, “No, it will not happen again. I will never leave you alone again.” Yuliana smiled

at him and extended her pinky. “You must follow through on your promise.”

“What are you doing?” Christopher was taken aback by her actions.

Yuliana raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s a pinky promise! Don’t you understand what this action means?”

Of course, Christopher understood what it meant, but Yuliana’s childish behavior made him seem implausible.

He laughed and stretched out his pinky to hook with hers. “I will keep my word.”

Yuliana’s smile broadened as she looked at him. She didn’t let go of his hand. Instead, she clasped his fingers tightly

as if she didn’t want to separate from him even for a moment.

Christopher also looked at her.

Her face was still a little swollen, and the marks left by someone else’s fingers became more and more apparent

after the night. Christopher reached out his hand and stroked it gently. Imagining the scene at that time, half of his

heart ached, and the other half was wrapped in violent emotions.

“Does it hurt?” he inquired solemnly.

Yuliana shook her head gently. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Christopher pursed his thin lips lightly and remained silent, but his dark eyes could make people nervous.

Yuliana didn’t want to see him in that state, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, “Have you seen him?”

Christopher immediately understood who she was referring to, and the expression on his face softened visibly. “I’ve

seen him. He loves to sleep. I went to see him in the morning, and he was sleeping. I went back in the afternoon,

and he was still sleeping. Then, I went to see him just now, yet he was still sleeping.”

Yuliana couldn’t help but laugh as she imagined the child sleeping in the incubator with Christopher staring pitifully

at him on the side.

The image was very gentle.

Yuliana said, “Newborn babies sleep for a long time. They’ll be sleeping except for when they eat.”

She had read all of that in books before. A newborn baby would sleep for nearly 20 hours a day.

Yuliana’s heart softened when she thought about the child. She asked, “Does he look more like you or me?”

Christopher did not immediately answer her question. He appeared to be conflicted. He frowned after a few

seconds and said, “I don’t think he resembles any of us. He’s just a pink blob of meat right now. To be honest,

he’s not particularly good-looking.”

Yuliana expressed her displeasure and retorted, “He’s simply too young and hasn’t grown up yet. He should look

better in a few months as he grows.”

She didn’t consider herself ugly, and her facial features were quite attractive. Besides, no matter how ugly she was,

the baby had Christopher’s genes, so he wouldn’t turn out all that bad either.

Christopher suddenly said, “Ana, what name would you like to give him?”

The original due date was at the end of May, but it arrived more than two months ahead of schedule. Christopher

and Yuliana had not yet given him a name yet. He had been thinking about what to name the child when he visited

him that day.

Yuliana had considered a few names when she had been free, but she then felt that they were inappropriate. That

was probably how a mother would feel. Mothers always believed that their children deserved the best.

She asked, “Who was the one that named your brothers and sisters?”

“Layla was named by Mom, and my brother and I were named by Dad.” Christopher’s brows twitched imperceptibly

when he mentioned Zachary. He said quietly, “If Dad were still conscious, we could’ve asked him to name his

grandson.”

Yuliana thought about it once more, but she couldn’t come up with a suitable name at that moment.

When Christopher saw Yuliana’s thoughtful expression, his heart skipped a beat. A name flashed through his mind,

and he said, “How about ‘Roe’?”

Yuliana was taken aback. “Huh?”

Christopher continued, “His nickname will be ‘Roe,’ and his full name will be ‘Rowan.”

Yuliana couldn’t help but laugh after she had listened to his explanation. “Does the Solace family run a zoo?”

Christopher hummed lightly. “Isn’t a zoo great? Wouldn’t the big house be livelier if we were to raise a few

animals?”

Yuliana furrowed her brows and glared at him, “How dare you think of your son as an animal?”

“I’m kidding.” Christopher narrowed his eyes and gave her a strangely gentle look. “You gave birth to our son with

all your might. I can’t tell you how much I adore him!”

Yuliana laughed. “It sounds good when you say it now. I hope you’ll remember what you said today when your son

grows up and becomes disobedient.”

Christopher thought about the scene in detail and said, “So be it if he’s disobedient. Even if he makes a hole in the

sky, I’ll cover it up.”

Kendrick, Joyce, and Layla all rushed to the hospital when they learned that Yuliana was awake.

Jared was invited to Jeahron recently and would be back in a few days.

Giving birth to a child used to be dangerous for a woman. Even with medical advancements, it was still an

extremely exhausting situation, especially since Yuliana had given birth to a child under those circumstances last

night.

Her body was still very weak after sleeping all day. She felt like a porcelain doll that had been broken and

reassembled. The sight of her made their heart ache.

Layla stated, “You need to pay more attention these days, Yuliana. Having a child is a big deal for women. You must

take proper care of yourself. Don’t think about other things too much.”

Yuliana nodded. “Layla, I haven’t thanked you yet.”

Layla patted the back of her hand “We’re a family, so there’s no need for that.”

Then, Layla and Joyce reminded her of the precautions during the confinement.

Kendrick expressed his concern and invited Christopher outside to talk.

Kendrick said, “You should stay in Juxshire and take good care of Yuliana for a while. Regarding the matters in

Romdale, I’ll let Layla handle it.”

Christopher’s brows twitched slightly. “Since Layla can handle it, why did you let me take care of Romdale back

then?”
