Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 348 A Surprise Welcome

The memory of this city was also slowly returning to her mind.

In fact, she finally remembered that she had been to Romdale once.

Back then, she did not have the chance to get to know the city well. Even though she felt unfamiliar with the city,

she felt as if it had been a long time since she had been there.

She walked on the street for a long time. When her legs started to feel like they were filled with lead, she halted her

footsteps as she could no longer walk. So, she hailed a taxi and went back to the hotel.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door with the key card, a familiar figure dashed toward her and threw

himself into her embrace.

Yuliana subconsciously reached out to catch him, but her thoughts did not catch up to her actions. At one second,

she even thought she was having an illusion.

“Mommy!” A young voice rang by her ears.

Hearing the child-like voice, she then came back to her senses.

“Roe?” She let out her voice in surprise when she found out that it was her son.

“Mommy, where have you been? Mr. Chaser has been back for a long time. Why did you only come back so late?

Rowan asked in concern. He put his arms around Yuliana’s waist and looked up at Yuliana.

The Mr. Chaser called by Rowan was Yuliana’s assistant, James.

Yuliana squatted down to look at Rowan’s familiar and adorable face. Again, she had confirmed that she was not

seeing an illusion, and her heart was instantly filled with joy and gentleness. She asked gently. “Mommy was having

a walk outside. I’m sorry I returned home late. Why did you come here, Roe?”

Rowan clung to Yuliana’s neck and snuggled into her arms. He did not want to let go. After a while, he looked behind

him and responded, “Mr. Coke and I came by plane.”

Hearing that, Yuliana was surprised. She looked toward the room, following Rowan’s gaze.

Christopher was present a few steps away from them. He stood there quietly while he stared at the mother and son

who were holding each other by the door.

Their gaze met, but none of them broke the silence.

However, Yuliana’s silence caused anxiety in Rowan’s heart. He looked up at Yuliana’s expression and promised

cautiously, “Mommy, I’ll be good. I won’t disturb your work. Please don’t be angry.”

Yuliana withdrew her gaze away from Christopher with Rowan’s words, then looked at his nervous face and said,

“Mommy is not angry.”

As she finished her words, she picked up Rowan and went into the room.

When she passed by Christopher, he gave way to her.

Yuliana put down Rowan and chatted with him for a while. The little guy had been active for the entire day. Perhaps

he was exhausted; he fell asleep soundly in her embrace a short moment later.

Meanwhile, Christopher sat on the sofa beside her with his chin in his hand, he did not disturb her.

Noticing Rowan was asleep, Yuliana placed him on the bed. Then, she wiped his face and body with a towel, took

clean clothes from the suitcase, and changed Rowan into clean clothes. After everything was done, she proceeded

to deal with the other person in the room.

“When did you reach here?” Yuliana questioned. While waiting for Christopher’s answer, she poured herself a glass

of water, then sat on the sofa to drink.

Christopher’s lips curved upwards when he heard her question, and he replied, “We arrived at Romdale at 7:30

p.m.”

Following that, he adjusted his posture. He put down his long legs to the ground, stretched out, and picked up the

cigarette on the table. Just as he was about to ignite the cigarette, he raised his head and looked at Yuliana. “Do

you mind?”

“Go ahead and smoke,” Yuliana uttered indifferently.

With her permission, Christopher lit the cigarette and bit it with his lips. It was apparent that he had wanted a

cigarette for a long time as he was puffing on it in a hurry.

Yet, she remembered that Christopher was not a heavy smoker before this.

Back then, he was not as addicted to cigarettes.

After the cigarette was half burned, only then did Christopher slow down his smoking. He held the cigarette

between his fingers and flicked the ash, muttering, “Don’t worry. I was the one who brought Roe over here. I will

take care of him in the next two days; it won’t affect your work.”

Yuliana found it to be a little ridiculous when these words came from Christopher.

Despite that, no sign of a smile was evident on her face. Coldly, she mentioned, “It’s getting late. I’m going to take

my rest.”

“Alright,” he replied

Christopher hummed and said nothing more. After pressing half of the cigarette into the ashtray, he left Yuliana’s

room.

The room fell into silence following the sound of the closing door.

Sitting on the sofa, Yuliana drank up the water in her glass slowly. She made a phone call with Hailey before she got

up to wash up.

When sunshine was cast onto the land again, Yuliana woke up.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she was dazed for a brief moment. As she looked down, her gaze landed on the

little boy sucking on his thumb in her arms, sleeping soundly. Feeling warmth in her heart, she placed a light kiss on

Rowan’s forehead.

Yuliana and James arrived at Romdale quite late yesterday, so they only got to visit Shenton Technologies briefly.

She knew that they also needed to meet up with the managers and engineers of the Research Department in order

to understand the detailed and professional information about the product. After those were completed, they would

have to discuss other matters with the person in charge of Shenton Technologies.

As soon as Yuliana got up from the bed, Rowan, who was asleep, opened his eyes.

“Mommy…” Rowan squeezed out his voice as he pouted and got up. He lay on top of Yuliana like a koala.

Looking at adorable Rowan, Yuliana patted him on the back and consoled him, “Mommy is getting up and going to

work. Roe, can you sleep on the bed?”

Rowan shook his head in denial with his eyes half open.

Not knowing what to do, Yuliana felt that Rowan was such a sweet burden to her.

To be exact, Rowan had not been so clingy to her for a long time. He had only felt slightly insecure in the first two or

three months of work. Besides that, she would always sleep with him at night, and he would be roused awake by

her slightest movement in the morning.

Yuliana knew that Rowan’s clinginess now was due to the trauma from her cruel departure yesterday.

Rowan was afraid that she would leave him again by getting into the car just like that.

“Mommy will come back to have lunch with you, okay?” Yuliana coaxed him softly. She paused momentarily, then

added, “Mommy will send you to Mr. Coke’s place. You can play with Mr. Coke for a while, and then Mommy will

return soon.”

Rowan buried himself in Yuliana’s arms without saying anything. After a while, he nodded gently in agreement.

“Okay.”

With Rowan’s agreement, Yuliana quickly packed up and called Craig. Once she got Christopher’s contact

information from Craig, she dialed.

“Hello?” A voice sounded from the other end of the call. The man was obviously still sleepy, and his voice was deep

and husky.

Yuliana fell into a daze for a short while, then she snapped herself out of it and questioned, “Do you have time

today?”

Christopher’s silence lasted a few seconds before rustling sounds could be heard from the call, similar to the

rubbing sound of fabrics. “Yes.” His answer then sounded.

At first, Yuliana wanted to politely request him to help take care of Rowan.

However, she came to the thought that Rowan was also his son.

In turn, she asked, “Which room are you in? I’ll take Roe there.”

A short pause later, Christopher hummed and then reported his room number.

He was staying on the same floor as Yuliana, just one room after her own.

Yuliana took Rowan’s schoolbag with one hand, then held him with her other hand.

When she exited the room, she tried to look out for Christopher’s room. However, as she raised her head, she

found that the door of the opposite room was open. The room number on the opposite door was exactly the room

number Christopher mentioned.

No one responded despite her knocking on the door.

Yuliana hesitated for a while, then pushed the door further open and brought Rowan to enter the room right

away.

No sign of Christopher was seen in the room, but the sound of flowing water sounded from the bathroom. Yuliana

glanced in the direction of the bathroom. Then decided to wait in the room with Rowan. Feeling confused, Rowan

blinked and looked up at Yuliana. “Mommy, is this Mr. Coke’s room? Why isn’t he here?”

Just as his words echoed, the bathroom door opened.
