Chapter 298


    Yuliana clenched her fists and turned her head to gaze out of the window. There was a moment of


    bewilderment in her eyes.


    The car’s interior was extremely quiet as if it was isted from the outside world. Yuliana appeared to


    have returned to her senses after a while and asked, “Why?” Her voice was very calm, neither sad nor


    angry as if she only wanted an answer.


    The change between her and Christopher was very sudden. Things had been fine before this, but after


    Rowan came back, things suddenly changed.


    She didn’t notice it at first. Perhaps at that time, all her thoughts were on Rowan, who was lost and


    found.


    When she realized it, the rtionship between the two seemed to have reached the point of no return.


    Christopher’s expression remained calm, and his tone remained the same; he lifted his lips and uttered


    two simple words, “I’m tired.”


    Yuliana felt a twinge of irony. “What kind of response is this?” she wondered.


    She was also aware that he had been extremely tired since Kendrick’s ident. There were a lot of


    things in his family as well-Zachary, Winnie, and Rowan, who had been in another ident. His


    rtionship with Joyce had recently be strained as well.


    Yuliana frowned slightly. She shifted her gaze to Christopher’s side profile. His nose bridge was superb.


    Outside the window, the streetmps shone in, and the flickering light and shadow on his face made


    him appear even more superior.


    She moved her lips as if she was about to say something. In the end, she swallowed her words and


    asked instead, “Is there any rtionship between the two?”


    Christopher’s fingers that were supporting his temples shifted slightly, and his fingertips lightly touched


    the tip of his eyebrows. “Of course, it has something to do with it.” He turned his head and looked at


    her. “Because it’s you who makes me feel tired.”


    When Yuliana heard this, her face became dazed. She was speechless for a moment as she stared


    nkly at Christopher.


    Christopher continued, “Perhaps it’s because the honeymoon phase has passed, and I can’t find the


    original feeling I had with you now, or perhaps I have too many things to deal with now, and I don’t have


    no other intentions to deal with. you.”


    After a brief pause, he continued, “When Ie home every day and see you, I get very tired, and I


    want to escape.”


    Yuliana’s face was a little pale. She pinched the palm of her hand harder, and the pain made her


    jumbled mind clearer. Many thoughts raced through her mind in an instant, and she came up with a


    slew of excuses.


    But in the end, she only felt that her behavior was ridiculous.


    “I didn’t even know you had such thoughts,” Yuliana remarked sarcastically, with a smile on her face.


    “I didn’t have these thoughts at first.” Christopher’s voice was cold with a hint of irony. “I had these


    thoughts when Roe was kidnapped. I needed to deal with thepany’s mess, find Roe as soon as


    possible, and use the remaining energy to worry about you. Ana, I am just a human being. I’ll also be


    tired and irritated. But did you even bother to show me some consideration during that time?” Yuliana


    pursed her lips without saying anything, but her heart suddenly throbbed. “You are not the only one


    who was concerned about our son’s disappearance.” Christopher cast a sidelong nce at her and


    averted his gaze. “However, you didn’t consider my feelings from my perspective. Instead, you were


    resentful of


    me.”


    Yuliana had nothing to say because what Christopher said was the truth.


    Such a reason sounded reasonable, but her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of confusion.


    Yuliana wondered out loud, “Is it because of this?”


    The corner of Christopher’s mouth twitched mockingly. “Maybe it’s because of the change in my


    emotions and environment. I used to be able to do whatever I wanted to do without any worries


    because I only needed to be responsible for you and Roe, but that’s no longer the case. I have to hold


    up the Sce family. I don’t want us to get to the point where we hate each other, Ana. I hope we can


    preserve something nice between us, and I don’t want our son to go through things he doesn’t have to


    because of our rtionship.”


    Yuliana was stunned for two more seconds after hearing this. She looked at him, slightly surprised,


    pursed her lips, and murmured, “You mean… You want to divorce me?”


    Christopher returned his gaze to the window and said, in an unusually


    uninterested tone, “I simply believe we should cut our losses now. Divorce might be the best option for


    us right now. Of course, we can continue our rtionship if you can ept where we are right now.”


    “Our rtionship right now?” Yuliana smiled faintly.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Her chest felt tight again. Her eyes were sore, and ayer of mist had formed. She quickly averted her


    gaze and struggled to keep her tears at bay.


    After a while, she said calmly, “I’ll think about it before I respond.”


    Christopher replied indifferently, “Sure.”


    No one spoke again after that. They went upstairs tacitly when they got home. Yuliana returned to her


    room to change her clothes, while Christopher went to the study.


    Hailey carried Rowan over.


    The little boy sobbed until his eyes swelled and his voice became hoarse. He stretched out his chubby


    arms and asked Yuliana to hold him when he saw her.


    Yuliana had just returned from the hospital and was afraid of spreading germs by reaching out to hold


    Rowan.


    She said softly to Rowan, “Mom has bacteria on her hands, so she needs to wash her hands first, and


    then she’lle and hug Roe.”


    Rowan seemed to understand her. Although he still pouted, he held back his tears and did not cry out.


    Yuliana entered the bathroom, squeezed out the hand sanitizer, and rubbed her hands twice. Her


    hands were covered in tiny foams. Her thoughts drifted away as she stared at the foams. She recalled


    something Christopher said on the way back.


    Her chest felt like it was being pressed by a boulder, and it was stuffy and heavy, making her feel


    suffocated once more.


    Rowan’s cries snapped Yuliana out of her thoughts. She quickly rinsed the foam from her hands and


    patted them dry with a towel. Then, she saw Christopher enter the room and take Rowan from Hailey.


    Perhaps it was because they were rted by blood. Even though Christopher didn’t spend much time


    with Rowan, at least not as much as the previous maternity matron, Kylie, nobody knew why other


    people couldn’t coax Rowan, but as long as he was in Christopher’s arms, he would calm down.


    Just like right now-when he was in Christopher’s arms, he would calm down and lean against


    Christopher’s chest, his small body still sobbing.


    Yuliana walked over and said softly, “Give him to me.”


    Christopher looked down at her and handed the little guy in his arms to Yuliana.


    There was no othermunication between them. Yuliana took Rowan to the couch and sat down.


    Then, she took a toy and teased the little guy.


    Christopher stood and watched for a while before he turned to the walk-in wardrobe.


    About ten minutester, Christopher came out of the walk-in wardrobe with a suitcase and said, “I’ll be


    living in Oceanview Apartment for a while. After you think it over, contact me.”


    Yuliana didn’t look up at him, but she responded lightly and went back to ying


    with Rowan.


    Rowan grabbed the hair on Yuliana’s shoulder and chuckled.


    Christopher paused for a moment and left the Sce residence with his suitcase.


    Joyce came back from the hospital in the early morning.


    When she entered, she saw Yuliana waiting at the door.


    Joyce asked, “Haven’t slept yet?”


    Yuliana hummed lightly. “How’s Mrs. Sce?”
