Chapter 325 Grill
Although Yuliana didn’t want to have too much contact with Wesley, she had never been unkind to
those who meant well. Wesley was shameless, but he had never overdone it. He knew when to stop
and would step back when Yuliana became wary or annoyed.

Over time, Yuliana didn’t resist Wesley so much after learning more about him.
After all, she didn’t know many people in Jeahron, and even fewer people had a good rtionship with
her. Besides, Rowan seemed to like Wesley very much and was more excited than usual every time he
saw Wesley. He even said his first word to Wesley.
It was Yuliana’s birthday, and Callie was not in Jeahron. However, she called Yuliana early in the
morning and asked Aaron to bring her gifts.
Xandria and Kathryn also rushed to Jeahron from Juxshire to celebrate her birthday.
Yuliana didn’t want things to be too troublesome. So she nned to set up a barbecue stand in the
yard, enjoy some wine or drinks, and get together with her friends.
She and Hailey could deal with a few people, so they didn’t find others to help them.
After thinking about it, Yuliana decided to invite Wesley.
That evening, while she, Xandria, and Kathryn enjoyed their food and a good chat, Wesley and Hailey
were busy beside the barbeque stand.
Rowan could walk by himself, but his steps were unsteady.
Rowan probably didn’t have much contact with adult men, so he was very clingy to Wesley and liked to
imitate Wesley’s behavior.
Wesley sat on a small stool as he roasted the food, and Rowan followed him everywhere he went.
Wesley feared the barbecue grill would scald Rowan, so he held him in his arms. Rowan watched as
Wesley grilled the food and handed him the BBQ skewers.
“Mmph!” Wesley deliberately teased Rowan and refused to take the skewers.
Yuliana also liked to provoke Rowan into speaking by using this method.
Sure enough, Rowan got anxious and grabbed Wesley’s ck T-shirt with his dainty hands. Rowan
frowned as he started making humming sounds.
Yuliana was not far away from the barbecue stand. She could see the interaction between Rowan and
Wesley when she looked up. Since they were next to the barbeque stand, she was still worried even
though Wesley and Hailey were there. She took a nce every few seconds.
Wesley picked Rowan up and sat him on his knees. Wesley was expressionless but asked patiently,
“What is it? You must exin it, or I won’t know what you want.”
Rowan grew even more anxious, but he still refused to speak. He just stuffed the raw BBQ skewers
into Wesley’s hand.
Yuliana knew that Rowan could understand what Wesley was saying.
Many times, Rowan understood her when she talked to him.
However, she didn’t understand why Rowan refused to speak.
Wesley nced at the BBQ skewers Rowan ced in his hand and asked, “Do you want Mr. Wesley to
grill them?”
Rowan smiled sweetly and nodded.
Wesley didn’t directly ce the BBQ skewers on the barbecue stand. He looked at Rowan and said,
“Nodding doesn’t count. You have to say it.”
Rowan looked at Wesley nkly when he heard that. After hesitating for a while, he started shaking his
head. “You don’t know how to do it?” Wesley smiled and touched the back of Rowan’s head. That’s all
right. I’ll teach you how. Look at my mouth and follow what I’m doing.”
“Grill”
Wesley spoke slowly and pointed at his mouth with the BBQ skewers in his hand. He asked Rowan to
pay
attention to the shape of his mouth.
Rowan only looked at him expressionlessly but didn’t follow what Wesley did.
They were at an impasse momentarily.
Wesley said. “I can’t help you grill these skewers if you don’t say it.”
His voice was slightly stern.
Every time Rowan encountered that situation, he would habitually act coquettishly, and it worked all the
time in front of Yuliana. However, it was Wesley he faced today, and Wesley intended to force Rowan
intopliance. Therefore, Wesley didn’t let Rowan have his way no matter how Rowan acted
coquettishly or pretended to cry.
Finally, Yuliana couldn’t stand it anymore. She rose and walked over to pick up Rowan from Wesley’s
arms. Yuliana asked Hailey to wipe Rowan’s tears with a tissue. She wanted tofort Rowan, but she
gritted her teeth and insisted when she met Wesley’s eyes. She put Rowan on the ground and squatted
while saying, “Roe, I want to have some grilled chicken wings. Can you ask Mr. Duncan to help you
cook them?” Rowan pouted, and his eyes were still red. He looked at Yuliana nkly when he heard
what she said, with apparent resistance on his face.
Yuliana didn’t urge him. She only looked at him and waited patiently.
After another impasse, Rowan suddenly threw himself into Yuliana’s arms and rubbed his furry head
against her while making coquettish sounds.
Yuliana secretly sighed, exchanged looks with Wesley, and shook her head helplessly.
As she was about to give up, Rowan suddenly stood up from her arms. He turned around and went to
the small table beside the barbeque stand. After looking at everything there, he picked up a BBQ
skewer with chicken wings and handed it to Wesley.
Rowan said certainly, “Grill.”
Rowan’s speech became increasingly smooth after saying his first word, and he had an excellent
vocabry. Some of the things he said even surprised Yuliana. She had no idea where he learned all
of it.
Moreover, Rowan became talkative after he learned how to talk. He kept speaking even when ying
with himself, and even Yuliana was annoyed by Rowan.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year.
Yuliana and Rowan celebrated their first New Year in Jeahron.
In June, Juxshire Prison sent news that Damian was urgently taken to the hospital due to a sudden
illness. rpse.
Yuliana hurried back to Juxshire but didn’t make it in time to see Damian for onest time.
When they rushed to the hospital, Damian was already a cold corpse.
Yuliana informed Sabrina and Jacob, who were abroad. Sabrina immediately returned home with Jacob
after she received the news. She handled Damian’s affairs alongside Yuliana.
Another yearter.
After finishing thest document, Yuliana shifted her gaze to the window. Night had already fallen.
Yuliana raised her hand and looked at the silver wristwatch on her hand. It was already eight o’clock.
She picked up her phone and called Hailey.
When the phone was answered, Rowan’s milky voice came from the other end of the line.
Yuliana turned her neck and her lips curled upward as she said, “Hailey.”
“Yuliana, when will you be home?” There was a hint of happiness in Hailey’s voice. “I made desserts for
you this afternoon, and I’m sure you’ll love them. I’ve stored them in the refrigerator for you.”
Yuliana wasn’t a fan of cold desserts in the past, but she had grown fond of them during the past two
summers Yuliana couldn’t control her cravings and didn’t know if it was a fluke as she felt that there
was no difference
“I have an appointment tonight and should be home after ten o’clock in the evening. I’ll get them from
the refrigerator when I’m home.” Yuliana turned off theputer and said, “Please pass the phone to
Roe. I’ll
have a word with him.”
“Okay.” Hailey then said in a slightly softer voice, “Roe, It’s Mommy on the phone.”
Soon, Rowan’s voice could be heard from the other end of the line, “Mommy, I miss you so much.
Pleasee back quickly.”
Rowan was already over three years old and was attending kindergartenter that year.
To make sure that Rowan could adapt to kindergarten life faster, Yuliana was already preparing him for
school. However, she was too busy to keep an eye on him at all times. Besides, Rowan was a rxed
child and never panicked, no matter what he did. Sometimes Yuliana was slightly worried about him.
