Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 349 Get To The Point

As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door opened.

The two looked over at the same time, only to see Christopher emerge from the bathroom with water droplets on

his face, wearing only a pair of black casual pants and no shirt. It was apparent that he had just freshened up.

Inevitably, Yuliana’s attention turned to him.

In fact, she had been unconsciously ignoring Christopher’s presence and the changes that his three years in prison

had brought about ever since his release, when the two of them first met in the supermarket.

Despite the fact that she was aware of everything, she had never given it much thought.

And now, as she examined the various scars on Christopher’s honey-colored skin, some deep and some shallow,

they all drew her attention.

Despite her familiarity with his body, looking at it now made her feel somewhat unfamiliar.

When Christopher noticed Yuliana’s gaze, he paused his wiping motion and said, “I’ll go in and put on a shirt.”

Hearing that, Yuliana didn’t say anything and turned around.

Christopher entered the room, took a T-shirt from his luggage, put it on, and turned around to see Rowan standing

behind him, tilting his head and staring at Christopher.

“What are you looking at?” He rubbed Rowan’s head.

Rowan’s hair was soft and curly, similar to Christopher’s when he was younger, as was to be expected of his child. If

one hadn’t known any better, they might have assumed he had some foreign genes in his DNA. His hair did,

however, grow out nicely as he grew older.

Then, Rowan climbed onto the bed and gently touched the scar on Christopher’s shoulder with his fingers. “Mommy

said blowing on it will make it stop hurting.” he said as he lightly furrowed his brow and gently blew on the scar

twice.

When Christopher saw that, his heart tightened. He couldn’t stop himself from hugging Rowan, who was still clinging

to him. He replied, “Thank you, Roe. I feel much better now.”

“But the last time I got a shot, it hurt a lot,” Rowan said as he looked at the scar on Christopher’s shoulder. “With

such a large scar, how could it not hurt?” Rowan wondered.

Christopher explained, “That’s because you’re still young, Roe. It doesn’t bother me because I’m an adult.”

Rowan didn’t understand. “Really?”

“Yes,” reaffirmed Christopher.

When Christopher carried Rowan out of the room, Yuliana turned around, opened Rowan’s backpack, and said,

“This is Roe’s cup. He only drinks water from this, and it should be warm water. Because his digestion is weak, avoid

giving him cold water or cold food. I also included some snacks inside so you can offer them to him when he’s

upset. There are also some toys he enjoys and tissues he can use.”

After she finished explaining the items in the backpack, she added, “Roe hasn’t had breakfast yet. Take him out to

eat, and I’ll return at noon to have lunch with him.”

Christopher carefully listened and responded, “Okay, I’ll remember to do it.”

Yuliana returned his gaze to Rowan, took a step forward, touched her son’s hair, and said, “Roe, be good. If you

miss me, have Mr. Coke call me. Don’t cry, okay?”

Rowan nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Only then did Yuliana feel at ease and leave.

James was already waiting downstairs in the lobby, and the car arranged by Shenton Technologies had arrived.

Yuliana didn’t have time to eat breakfast because Rowan had delayed her departure, so she hopped in the car with

James in a hurry.

“Ms. Livingstone, I have a sandwich here. Would you like to eat it?” After saying that, James took a sandwich from

the paper bag and handed it to Yuliana.

Yuliana, who did not have an appetite, shook her head and said, “Thank you, but I’m not hungry.”

It was nearly 9:50 a.m. in the morning when they arrived at Shenton Technologies. The two parties had agreed to

meet at 10 am. Even though they weren’t late, Yuliana still had some preparation work to do, and time was of the

essence.

After a highly focused morning, she hadn’t even had time to go to the restroom. After finishing her morning tasks,

she checked the time and saw that it had already passed 12:30 p.m.

However, she had not received any phone calls from Christopher, so she had no idea how he was getting along with

Rowan.

She had intended to accompany Rowan to lunch, but by the time she returned to the hotel, it would have been past

lunchtime.

Yuliana called Christopher while standing by the window of Shenton Technologies’ conference room.

“Are you finished with your work?” Christopher sounded indifferent.

Yuliana nodded and asked, “Have you had lunch with Roe?”

“Not yet.” Christopher paused and asked, “Did you have your lunch?”

“I’ve just finished my work,” Yuliana replied.

After she said that, James returned from the restroom and told Yuliana, who was unaware of the phone call, “Ms.

Livingstone, Mr. Xenakis has made a reservation for us to have lunch together.”

On the other end of the phone, Christopher heard those words.

Christopher interrupted Yuliana’s response to James by saying, “I recall in the morning you promised to have lunch

with Roe this afternoon. Right now, Roe and I are close to Shenton Technologies. Do you want to come over?”

Yuliana remained silent for two seconds before saying, “Send me the location.”

When she hung up the phone, she said to James, “You should go and have lunch with Mr. Xenakis. I’ve agreed to

meet Roe for lunch at noon. Could you please explain it to Mr. Xenakis?”

James responded, “Noted, Ms. Livingstone.”

“Call me if there’s anything else,” Yuliana added.

With that, she picked up her bag from the chair and left Shenton Technologies.

Yuliana opened the navigation after Christopher texted her the restaurant name, and it showed that it was only half

a mile away from Shenton Technologies. It would only take about ten minutes to walk there. Christopher had

already placed her order when she arrived at the restaurant, and the food had already been served.

“I don’t know if your tastes have changed, but I ordered the dishes based on what you used to like,” he explained.

Yuliana noticed that the dishes on the table were dishes she had previously enjoyed.

She only said thank you in response to what Christopher said.

During the meal, they were both very quiet, with only a little chatter from Rowan in between them, which helped to

relax the atmosphere.

“Mommy, I’m going fishing and shooting with Mr. Coke later. Would you like to come along with us?” Halfway

through the meal, Rowan suddenly remembered something, set down his spoon, and looked at Yuliana.

Instantly. Yuliana realized that Rowan was talking about the arcade.

“I have work in the afternoon. You can go with just Mr. Coke,” she replied.

Hearing that, Rowan was a little disappointed. “Okay…”

Yuliana couldn’t bear looking at Rowan. In reality, her afternoon work was not that important, and she could finish it

early. If she wanted, she could accompany Rowan to the arcade.

The phone on the table began to vibrate at that precise moment.

Yuliana instinctively looked over and noticed that the screen of the phone in front of Christopher had lit up. with the

word “wife flashing on it.

“I want to eat short ribs, Mommy,” Rowan said, pointing to the braised short ribs.

Hearing that, Yuliana placed a piece of braised short ribs on Rowan’s plate with her fork.

Christopher glanced at Yuliana before picking up his phone and standing up, saying, “You guys go ahead and eat. I

need to answer this call.”

After saying that, he left his seat with his phone.

When Christopher went outside the restaurant, he answered the phone.

“Christopher, what are you implying?” Elaine’s irritated voice could be heard over the phone. “Why has your phone

been turned off for the past two days? If you want to end the relationship, just say it. There’s no need for you to try

to hide from me. I’ve had enough!”

Christopher waited for her to calm down after hearing her bellowing before responding. “I’ve got some matters to

attend to, so I’m not in Juxshire right now.”
