Chapter 302
Yuliana didn’t act melodramatically to refuse Christopher’s offer just because of her self-esteem. After
all, she and Rowan really needed a suitable ce to live.
“Okay,” she replied softly. “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll stop disturbing you. I’m leaving now.”
Christopher didn’t look at her or speak.
Yuliana was silent for two seconds and left the study room.
Silence ensued in the study room.
It was a cloudy day with gray skies.
Christopher sat quietly for a while. He didn’t know if it was because of the medicine, but he actually felt
a little sleepy.
Since Kendrick’s ident, he hadn’t slept well for a day. It was not that he didn’t want to sleep, but he
couldn’t sleep at all. At most, he slept for four or five hours every night. He was tense during the day
and didn’t feel sleepy at all.
He closed his eyes and took a rest. Before he knew it, his consciousness blurred.
Christopher had a dream. In the dream, he returned to Maple Garden. At that time, he and Yuliana
were not married yet. Yuliana hated him quite a lot. She was cold and distant, and she never had a
happy expression whenever she saw him. It was really annoying.
But the more she acted that way, the more he couldn’t help but want to annoy her on purpose. At least,
he was no longer just a cloud of air that she could simply ignore. In the dream, Christopher was like a
bystander. Watching him and Yuliana quarreling and messing around back then, he actually wanted to
immerse himself in it and didn’t want to wake up.
After Yuliana left the study room, she went back to her room. She was going to sort out her luggage
and dispose of what she didn’t need. But when she walked around the room, she found that there was
not much she could pack except for Rowan’s items.
She used to live in Oceanview Apartment with Christopher and only asionally went back to the
Sce residence for one night. After Kendrick had an ident, she discussed with Christopher about
staying in the Sce residence so that she could look after and spend time with Winnie as well. She
didn’t bring too much luggage, and what she needed was purchased separately.
Yuliana took her suitcase and packed her belongings first.
Hailey noticed Yuliana hadn’t gone downstairs for a long time, and Rowan began to cry again. Hence,
Hailey carried Rowan to look for Yuliana. Unexpectedly, when Hailey entered the door, she saw Yuliana
coming in and out and putting
clothes in the suitcase.
Hailey was stunned for a moment and asked, “Yuliana, are you moving out with Mr. Sce?”
After seeing his mother, Rowan babbled while stretching his body toward Yuliana, asking her to hold
him.
Yuliana got up and took the child from Hailey’s hand, then gently stroked his back tofort him. The
little child immediately calmed down.
Yuliana replied, “I’ll go back to stay at Oceanview Apartment with Roe.”
Hailey was stunned again and didn’t understand what Yuliana meant.
Yuliana didn’t exin too much. She added, “Hailey, please help me get two more cartons to hold the
toys that Roe likes.”

Hailey came back to her senses and answered, “Okay.” Then she went downstairs to get Yuliana the
cartons.
But when Hailey went downstairs, she felt that something was wrong. After hesitating for a while, she
called Joyce. “Mrs. Sce, I’m Hailey.”
At this moment, Joyce was sitting in the office and staring at the man sitting on the couch. She asked
Hailey, “What’s the matter?”
Hailey said, “Yuliana wants to move back to Oceanview Apartment with Roe.”
Yuliana told Joyce that Christopher was going to divorce Yuliana. Hearing Hailey’s words, Joyce
reacted like this. She frowned and kept silent for a moment before saying, “Got it. I have something
else to deal with. I’ll talk to Yulianater.”
Hearing what Joyce said, Hailey felt a little relieved.
Putting down the phone, Joyce leaned back against the chair and stared at the man opposite her for a
few seconds. Then, she asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”
The person sitting on the couch was none other than Oliver. Oliver smiled and looked at Joyce. He
didn’t answer her question immediately.
Just then, the office door was pushed open. Joyce’s assistant brought in the coffee. When the assistant
put the coffee in front of Oliver, she nced at the man’s face. She thought he looked familiar as if she
had seen him somewhere.
“Thank you,” Oliver said to the assistant.
The assistant withdrew her thoughts. She smiled and turned around to leave the office.
When she left the office, she suddenly remembered that the reason she felt familiar was that the guest
looked a bit like Christopher, and his temperament was a bit like Kendrick’s.
Oliver picked up the cup and took a sip. The coffee was excellent. It was mild and mellow with some
sweet aftertaste. It could be seen that it was an excellent coffee that was carefully selected. However,
he couldn’t help but frown. “I remember you don’t like drinking coffee.”
Joyce didn’t want to deal with him and said perfunctorily, “I didn’t like it before, but it doesn’t mean I
don’t like it now. People’s preferences change.”
She withdrew her gaze from Oliver and looked down at the documents in front of her. At the top was a
document drafted by her subordinates regarding the materials needed to be procured. She needed to
review and approve it. Other than that, there were also some other misceneous documents.
However, she didn’t know whether it was because of Hailey’s phone call or because of Oliver. She
couldn’t focus on the purchase order in front of her at all.
A trace of irritation appeared between Joyce’s eyebrows. She looked up at Oliver again. Oliver had
already put down the cup and was leaning against the back of the sofa with his legs crossed. His gaze
was also fixed on her.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave.” Joyce’s tone was a little unkind.
Oliver didn’t get angry. He even smiled and said slowly, “If there’s nothing, then I won’te to Sce
Corporation to see you.”
Joyce paused and didn’t say anything, waiting for Oliver’s words.
Oliver paused and continued, “I came here to talk about business with you.”
Joyce didn’t answer immediately. She seemed to be contemting his words. After a while, she said,
“You should know that I’m only in charge of Sce Corporation’s Administrative Department, and you
shouldn’t talk to me about business.”
Oliver raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Although the top leader of Sce Corporation is your
brother-inw, you are the one who is attending to the affairs behind the scenes, right? So why do I
have to go around talking to the new Acting Chairman? Isn’t it more direct and effective if I just discuss
this with you?”
Joyce said with a half-smile, “You know quite a lot about Sce Corporation.” Then she asked
seriously, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
“I want to talk to you about investment,” Oliver said with a rxed smile. “I heard that Sce
Corporation is short of money recently, so I n to invest a sum of money to help Sce Corporation
get through the difficulties.”
Joyce’s expression changed slightly. She looked at Oliver with deeper eyes.
Everyone was working for the sake of benefits, so there was no way that Oliver would do such
strenuous and unrewarding things.
Sce Corporation was in a situation where industry insiders know more or less
about it, even when they didn’t talk about it clearly.
It was impossible that Oliver would invest in Sce Corporation at this time. Besides, Sce
Corporation had a huge shortage of funds at present. If it was only a small amount of money, it wouldn’t
be sufficient to solve the current predicament. But looking at Oliver’s confident look, he must have
known the situation of Sce Corporation clearly and obviously prepared for it beforeing over.
In the afternoon, while Rowan was asleep, Yuliana packed all her belongings. She had already dealt
with the items she didn’t need or had to be dealt with.
Only the items that needed to be used at night were still left outside.
