Chapter 250 Why Do You Want Them
Seeing that it was Christopher, she paused for a moment. After two seconds, she said faintly, “You’re
back.”
Christopher hummed in acknowledgment. Walking up to Yuliana, he took Rowan from her arms.
Rowan was energetic and full at the time. He had enough sleep. He clenched his fist and stuffed it into
his mouth. His saliva drenched his whole hand, and his ck eyes kept staring at Christopher.
Yuliana ignored the father and son. She went to the bathroom and washed herself. When she came
out, she saw Christopher sitting on the couch with Rowan in his arms and teasing him.
Rowan crinkled his eyes and smiled.
Christopher asked, “Do you think he can understand me?”
Yuliana walked over. She poked Rowan’s soft face with her finger and said softly, “He’s so small. How
can he understand?”
“But he’s smiling at me.”
“It’s just that he’s amused by your movements. He actually has no idea of what’s happening.”
After being discharged from the hospital, Rowan seldom smiled. When he was awake, he would just
stare at people quietly most of the time. Moreover, his eyes were not fully developed, so when he
looked at people, he only stared symbolically.
But Yuliana found that every time Christopher hugged him, he did smile more.
There were things that were indeed unexinable.
Though she conceived him for seven months, sometimes she really felt that Rowan seemed to be
closer to Christopher.
Yuliana asked, “How is Annabelle?”
Christopher was silent for a moment. “She’s fine.”
Yuliana nced at him and wanted to ask him something else. But when she saw the faint expression
on his face, she swallowed back what she wanted to ask.
Somebody knocked on the door, and Hailey’s voice came through.
“Mr. Sce, Yuliana, breakfast is ready.”
Yuliana hummed a response. Taking her son from Christopher’s arms, she said, “Let’s have breakfast.”
After saying that, she carried Rowan out first. Christopher sat for a while. A whileter, he headed to
the walk-in wardrobe to get changed and went out.
Yuliana handed the child over to Kylie and sat at the dining table with a wholemeal bun in her hand.
Seeing Christophering out, she noticed his clothes at a nce. He wore a simple white T-shirt
paired with ck sports shorts, which revealed his slender and well-proportioned legs.
Although his skin was fair, he was quite hairy. His calves were covered with thick hair.
Yuliana took a sip of milk and asked, “Aren’t you going out today?”
Christopher dragged the chair and sat down. “No.”
He picked up a boiled egg and shelled it. Then, he offered it to Yuliana. Yuliana opened her mouth and
took a bite. Christopher stuffed the rest of the egg into his mouth.
Yuliana lowered her eyes and continued eating the wholemeal bun she was holding. After a while of
silence, she said, “If you’re staying at home with me because you feel guilty about what happenedst
night, then it’s unnecessary. I don’t want you to do this.”
Christopher replied, “There’s nothing important today. I don’t need to go to thepany. Besides, I
wanted to spare a day with you and our son.”

Yuliana did not say anything more.
After breakfast, Rowan fell asleep again.
Yuliana didn’t have much restst night, so she nned to go back to her room to sleep.
Christopher apanied Yuliana to lie down for a while. Soon, his phone vibrated twice. He looked at
it and got up from the bed. He went outside to return the call.
He said, “You’re up.”
Annabelle gave a soft response. Crumpling the piece of note, she threw it into the trash can. She pulled
her hair and asked, “When did you leave?”
Christopher said, “This morning.”
Annabelle walked back and forth in the room twice, but she didn’t find anything. Everythingst night
seemed like a dream.
If it weren’t for Christopher’s note, she would have suspected it was just a dream.
Annabelle hesitated for a while before asking, “Last night…”
Christopher said, “Someone did go into your housest night.”
Annabelle’s pupils shrank. So, the whip was not her illusion. She gritted her teeth and asked after a
while, “Is it him?”
Christopher was silent for two seconds. “He’s dead. How can the dead survive?”
Annabelle closed her eyes. “Yes, he’s dead. But who else could it be except him?” she thought.
Christopher said, “I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this matter. Why don’t you stay in a hotel? I’ll
get two people to protect you.”
Annabelle let out a heavy sigh of relief. “Thank you forst night. But you can leave the rest of the
matter alone. I’ll handle it myself.”
Christopher raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Annabelle answered and hung up the phone.
Christopher stood by the window for a while and dialed another number. “Craig, find me two people.”
“Who?”
“Someone who’s good at investigating and fighting.”
On the other end of the line, Craig was stunned. “Why do you need them?”
“I have my reasons,” Christopher said.
Craig was speechless for a moment. “I’ll ask them to contact you tonight.”
Yuliana woke up after sleeping for more than an hour. She needed to feed Rowan milk.
She woke up and stared at Christopher, who was still asleep. Then she gently lifted the nket and got
out of bed.
Christopher didn’t wake up until lunchtime.
In the afternoon, Yuliana apanied Rowan in the nursery. When he was awake, she would y
with him. When he was asleep, she would either read a book or sleep in the nursery if she was sleepy.
Christopher went in and out several times. His phone rang every once in a while, so he would leave the
room to answer the calls and deal with things.
When Rowan was awake, his phone didn’t ring. But his phone rang every time Rowan fell asleep.
Startled by the ringing, Rowan twitched his limbs.
When Christopher came in after answering the phone, Yuliana red at him unhappily. “Either mute
your phone or don’t bring your phone in.”
Christopher muted his phone and threw it aside. Sitting down beside Yuliana, he put his arm around
her shoulders and nced at her face. However, Yuliana focused on flipping through the book in her
hand,pletely pretending he didn’t exist.
“Okay.” Yuliana said faintly. She was still fixing her eyes on the book.
Christopher said, “There will be a birthday banquet in a few days. Ken is not around, so I need to go
there. Can you apany me?”
Yuliana was stunned for a moment before looking at Christopher. “What birthday party?”
Christopher said, “Leonard’s grandfather’s 80th birthday.”
Why Do You Want Them
Actually, Christopher was somewhat rted to Leonard’s family. Winnie’s surname was also Fuller. But
when it came to Winnie’s generation, the rtionships between them were no longer close. They were
still considered rtives, but distant ones.
Although Christopher’s maternal side of the family hadn’t been around much with Leonard’s family, the
Sce family shared a good rtionship with Leonard’s family. They had been working together in
business for many years.
No matter what, the Sce family had to attend the birthday banquet.
Kendrick was in Alendor, so he couldn’te back in time. Besides, Zachary was in aa So,
Christopher had to go on behalf of his family.
Moreover, judging from the rtionship between Christopher and Leonard, they should go to the
banquet.
Yuliana replied, “Okay.”
After saying that, Yuliana shifted her attention to the book again
Seeing that, Christopher took the book from her hand and put it on his side so that she couldn’t reach
it.
Yuliana red at him with anger. “Give it back.”
“No.”
Christopher began to y tricks. Holding her back with one hand, he grabbed her legs with the other.
He scooped her up and put her on hisp. Then he pinched her chin and kissed her.
