Chapter 349 Get To The Point
As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door opened.
The two looked over at the same time, only to see Christopher emerge from the bathroom with water
droplets on his face, wearing only a pair of ck casual pants and no shirt. It was apparent that he had
just freshened up.
Inevitably, Yuliana’s attention turned to him.
In fact, she had been unconsciously ignoring Christopher’s presence and the changes that his three
years in prison had brought about ever since his release, when the two of them first met in the
supermarket.
Despite the fact that she was aware of everything, she had never given it much thought.
And now, as she examined the various scars on Christopher’s honey-colored skin, some deep and
some shallow, they all drew her attention.
Despite her familiarity with his body, looking at it now made her feel somewhat unfamiliar.
When Christopher noticed Yuliana’s gaze, he paused his wiping motion and said, “I’ll go in and put on a
shirt.”
Hearing that, Yuliana didn’t say anything and turned around.
Christopher entered the room, took a T-shirt from his luggage, put it on, and turned around to see
Rowan standing behind him, tilting his head and staring at Christopher.
“What are you looking at?” He rubbed Rowan’s head.
Rowan’s hair was soft and curly, simr to Christopher’s when he was younger, as was to be expected
of his child. If one hadn’t known any better, they might have assumed he had some foreign genes in his
DNA. His hair did, however, grow out nicely as he grew older.
Then, Rowan climbed onto the bed and gently touched the scar on Christopher’s shoulder with his
fingers. “Mommy said blowing on it will make it stop hurting.” he said as he lightly furrowed his brow
and gently blew on the scar twice.
When Christopher saw that, his heart tightened. He couldn’t stop himself from hugging Rowan, who
was still clinging to him. He replied, “Thank you, Roe. I feel much better now.”
“But thest time I got a shot, it hurt a lot,” Rowan said as he looked at the scar on Christopher’s
shoulder. “With such arge scar, how could it not hurt?” Rowan wondered.
Christopher exined, “That’s because you’re still young, Roe. It doesn’t bother me because I’m an
adult.”
Rowan didn’t understand. “Really?”

“Yes,” reaffirmed Christopher.
When Christopher carried Rowan out of the room, Yuliana turned around, opened Rowan’s backpack,
and said, “This is Roe’s cup. He only drinks water from this, and it should be warm water. Because his
digestion is weak, avoid giving him cold water or cold food. I also included some snacks inside so you
can offer them to him when he’s upset. There are also some toys he enjoys and tissues he can use.”
After she finished exining the items in the backpack, she added, “Roe hasn’t had breakfast yet. Take
him out to eat, and I’ll return at noon to have lunch with him.”
Christopher carefully listened and responded, “Okay, I’ll remember to do it.”
Yuliana returned his gaze to Rowan, took a step forward, touched her son’s hair, and said, “Roe, be
good. If you miss me, have Mr. Coke call me. Don’t cry, okay?”
Rowan nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Only then did Yuliana feel at ease and leave.
James was already waiting downstairs in the lobby, and the car arranged by Shenton Technologies had
arrived. Yuliana didn’t have time to eat breakfast because Rowan had dyed her departure, so she
hopped in the car with James in a hurry.
“Ms. Livingstone, I have a sandwich here. Would you like to eat it?” After saying that, James took a
sandwich from the paper bag and handed it to Yuliana.
Yuliana, who did not have an appetite, shook her head and said, “Thank you, but I’m not hungry.”
It was nearly 9:50 a.m. in the morning when they arrived at Shenton Technologies. The two parties had
agreed to meet at 10 am. Even though they weren’tte, Yuliana still had some preparation work to do,
and time was of the essence.
After a highly focused morning, she hadn’t even had time to go to the restroom. After finishing her
morning tasks, she checked the time and saw that it had already passed 12:30 p.m.
However, she had not received any phone calls from Christopher, so she had no idea how he was
getting along with Rowan.
She had intended to apany Rowan to lunch, but by the time she returned to the hotel, it would
have been past lunchtime.
Yuliana called Christopher while standing by the window of Shenton Technologies’ conference room.
“Are you finished with your work?” Christopher sounded indifferent.
Yuliana nodded and asked, “Have you had lunch with Roe?”
“Not yet.” Christopher paused and asked, “Did you have your lunch?”
“I’ve just finished my work,” Yuliana replied.
After she said that, James returned from the restroom and told Yuliana, who was unaware of the phone
call, “Ms. Livingstone, Mr. Xenakis has made a reservation for us to have lunch together.”
On the other end of the phone, Christopher heard those words.
Christopher interrupted Yuliana’s response to James by saying, “I recall in the morning you promised to
have lunch with Roe this afternoon. Right now, Roe and I are close to Shenton Technologies. Do you
want toe over?”
Yuliana remained silent for two seconds before saying, “Send me the location.”
When she hung up the phone, she said to James, “You should go and have lunch with Mr. Xenakis. I’ve
agreed to meet Roe for lunch at noon. Could you please exin it to Mr. Xenakis?”
James responded, “Noted, Ms. Livingstone.”
“Call me if there’s anything else,” Yuliana added.
With that, she picked up her bag from the chair and left Shenton Technologies.
Yuliana opened the navigation after Christopher texted her the restaurant name, and it showed that it
was only half a mile away from Shenton Technologies. It would only take about ten minutes to walk
there. Christopher had already ced her order when she arrived at the restaurant, and the food had
already been served.
“I don’t know if your tastes have changed, but I ordered the dishes based on what you used to like,” he
exined.
Yuliana noticed that the dishes on the table were dishes she had previously enjoyed.
She only said thank you in response to what Christopher said.
During the meal, they were both very quiet, with only a little chatter from Rowan in between them,
which helped to rx the atmosphere.
“Mommy, I’m going fishing and shooting with Mr. Coketer. Would you like toe along with us?”
Halfway through the meal, Rowan suddenly remembered something, set down his spoon, and looked
at Yuliana.
Instantly. Yuliana realized that Rowan was talking about the arcade.
“I have work in the afternoon. You can go with just Mr. Coke,” she replied.
Hearing that, Rowan was a little disappointed. “Okay…”
Yuliana couldn’t bear looking at Rowan. In reality, her afternoon work was not that important, and she
could finish it early. If she wanted, she could apany Rowan to the arcade.
The phone on the table began to vibrate at that precise moment.
Yuliana instinctively looked over and noticed that the screen of the phone in front of Christopher had lit
up. with the word “wife shing on it.
“I want to eat short ribs, Mommy,” Rowan said, pointing to the braised short ribs.
Hearing that, Yuliana ced a piece of braised short ribs on Rowan’s te with her fork.
Christopher nced at Yuliana before picking up his phone and standing up, saying, “You guys go
ahead and eat. I need to answer this call.”
After saying that, he left his seat with his phone.
When Christopher went outside the restaurant, he answered the phone.
“Christopher, what are you implying?” ine’s irritated voice could be heard over the phone. “Why has
your phone been turned off for the past two days? If you want to end the rtionship, just say it.
There’s no need for you to try to hide from me. I’ve had enough!”
Christopher waited for her to calm down after hearing her bellowing before responding. “I’ve got some
matters to attend to, so I’m not in Juxshire right now.”
