Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 402

Chapter 402 He Misses You Too

Yuliana walked over to the door when she realized they were about to fight. “You were asking for me?” she asked calmly

Wesley looked at her and said in a soft voice, “You don’t have to come out. I can handle it.”

Yuliana looked at him and smiled helplessly. “I know you can handle it.”

However, she didn’t want Wesley and Christopher to fight because of her.

Wesley didn’t say anything more after he realized Yuliana’s intention. He respected her decision.

Christopher immediately turned his gaze toward Yuliana before she asked him the question. His usual cold eyes had turned red in an instant.

Yuliana was wearing a camisole and shorts. That was how she always liked to dress for sleeping She had also thrown on knitted outerwear, but even so, the marks on her neck and chest were very apparent.

Yuliana looked at Christopher and easily noticed his reddened eyes.

Inexplicably, she felt her heart clench as an uneasy feeling settled all over her body as if she had wronged

him.

Yuliana couldn’t help but mock herself when she thought of that.

She and Christopher were divorced, after all. He had no say in her business, even if she decided to sleep with a different man every night.

She bit her lower lips, and her eyes became calm. “Didn’t you say you wanted to see me? What’s the matter?” she asked Christopher again when he didn’t answer her the first time.

Christopher met her calm eyes. He felt like there was a fire burning in his chest, making his throat dry.

After a while, the emotion on his face gradually faded, and he said, “I video-called our son just now. He kept crying and said he misses you.”

His tone was softer than when he was speaking to Wesley.

Yuliana was stunned. She looked at him suspiciously for two seconds and said, “I see. I will call him later.” In fact, Yuliana had video-called Rowan yesterday. When her son picked up the call, he immediately threw a tantrum and kept saying he wanted to see her. After a while, he only calmed down when Yuliana promised him she would be home tonight.

That afternoon, Hailey called Yuliana when she was at a meeting with Thomas. Rowan, who was beside Hailey, asked Yuliana what time she would arrive at Juxshire tonight.

Yuliana didn’t expect there would be changes in her plan, making her unable to go home that night, so she had no choice but to ask Hailey to placate Rowan.

In fact, Rowan wouldn’t throw a tantrum as long as he didn’t hear Yuliana’s voice or see her face. Moreover, Rowan should’ve been sleeping at that hour, so it was obvious someone had brought her up on purpose.

Yuliana frowned as she thought of that.

Christopher looked at Wesley and said with a smile, “Mr. Duncan, my wound seemed to have split open. Would you mind helping me dress it up again?”

Wesley threw a glance at Christopher and thought, “Does he really think I don’t know what he’s up to.” He then turned toward Yuliana and said, “You call Roe, and I’ll tend to Christopher’s wound.”

Yuliana looked into his eyes and nodded.

“Go back to your room first. I’ll be right there,” said Wesley to Christopher.

Christopher looked at the two of them and said, “Thank you, Mr. Duncan.” He then turned around and left. The door closed behind him. Christopher remained standing where he was and clenched his fists for a moment. After a while, he slowly unclenched them and went straight back to his room.

Back in Room 416, after the door was closed, Wesley pressed Yuliana against the wall, grabbed her hand, and said in a hoarse voice, “Yuliana, help me.”

Half an hour later, Wesley took a shower.

Yuliana was already on the video call with Rowan, and the little guy was crying non-stop

“Mommy. I miss you. Can you come back now?”

Rowan was weaning cartoon pajamas, crying so hard that his eyes and nose turned red. The way he curled up in Hailey’s embrace made him seem very pitiful

It was heartwrenching for Yuliana to see Rowan like that. “Mommy knows that you miss me very much, and Mommy wants to go back as soon as possible, but Mommy needs to settle some stuff before Mommy can return You’re about to start school soon, so you need to learn to be by yourself. Can you do that for Mommy and stop crying?”

Rowan nodded, but it wasn’t long before tears streamed down his face again. “But I still miss Mommy so much. I don’t want to be by myself”

Yuliana’s eyes started to sting too when she saw him crying again.

Wesley put on a T-shirt, walked over to Yuliana, and said, “Let me talk to Roe.”

Yuliana nodded and said to Rowan, “Roe, don’t cry. Mr. Duncan wants to talk to you.”

Then she handed the phone to Wesley.

“Roe,” Wesley shouted at the screen.

Rowan tried to hold back his tears. “Daddy Wesley.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you a strong boy, Roe?” asked Wesley.

Rowan nodded. “Yes.”

“Well, a strong boy also needs to be brave”

“But Mr. Coke said I’m only three years old, so I don’t have to be brave if I don’t want to. He also told me I’ll naturally be brave once I grow up.”

Yuliana was stunned to hear that. She wondered what else Christopher had told Rowan.

Since Rowan was born, Yuliana had never instilled the idea that he had to be brave. In fact, if she had her way, she would rather her son see her as someone he could rely on forever.

Of course, it was not realistic for her to think like that because Rowan would grow up one day, and she would grow old. It was just a fact of life that he would need to face many of life’s challenges alone, but she just hoped that that day would come later than sooner.

Yuliana snapped out of her reverie and heard Wesley say, “But you’ll make your mommy sad if you don’t stop crying.”

Rowan was stunned momentarily and quickly wiped off his tears with the back of his fleshy hand. “Mommy. don’t be sad. I’ll stop crying and patiently wait for you to come back.”

“You’re the best, Roe.” Wesley returned the phone to Yuliana and whispered, “I’ll head over to Christopher’s now.”

Yuliana nodded. “Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Wesley opened the door and walked out.

Yuliana dazedly stared at the closed door for a while before turning her attention back to Rowan and Hailey. “It’s late now. Time for you to go to bed, Roe.”

“Mommy, I promise I won’t cry anymore. Please don’t be sad,” said Rowan in a high-pitched tone as he struggled to hold back his tears.

Yuliana’s heart softened, but the wrenching feeling remained. “I’m not sad. Don’t worry, Roe. Mommy will be back in a few days. Hailey will take care of you, and you can go play with Jasper and Annie.”

Rowan disentangled himself from Hailey’s embrace and lay on the bed like a good boy. “I’m going to sleep now, Mommy. Good night.”

“Good night.”

Hailey covered Rowan with a blanket and said to Yuliana, “Roe is asleep now. You should rest too, Yuliana.” “Okay Thank you for all your hard work, Hailey,” replied Yuliana.

Hailey smiled and said, “What hard work? I’m so happy to have Roe with me every day.”

After hanging up the phone, Yuliana sent a message to Wesley to ask him about Christopher’s condition. Wesley quickly replied with a text saying that Christopher’s wound had indeed split open and required redressing.

Yuliana was stunned.

She quickly suppressed her emotions and went to the bathroom to wash up before going to bed.

This time, Yuliana fell asleep very quickly.

However, she didn’t sleep well. She had one nightmare after another..

“Ah!”

Yuliana woke up in a sweat.
