    Chapter 353 No Need To Be Strict


    James paused and asked tentatively, “But, Ms. Livingstone, who sent this information to you? There is


    quite a lot of confidential data in this. Other than the senior executives of Vortex Investment, ordinary


    people can’t get these at all.”


    Yuliana did not respond. She held the hot coffee in her hand and drank it slowly, her eyes drooping.


    She was weighing and thinking about the matter over and over again.


    James sat beside her quietly. He did not say anything so as to not disturb her.


    More than ten minutester, Yuliana knocked on the table with her finger and said, “James, I’ll send


    you this information. I would like you to go out and find a graphic store to print two copies of this.”


    “Noted, Ms. Livingstone.” With the information of Vortex Investment, the negotiation in the afternoon


    went smoothly, and the contract was signed ording to the terms agreed upon beforehand.


    Daniel Xenakis from Shenton Technologies escorted Yuliana and James to thepany entrance and


    said, “Ms. Livingstone, Mr. Chaser, we apologize for what happened on this matter. Ms. Livingstone, I’m


    very grateful to you for not minding our mistakes. How about this? You and Mr. Chaser can go back to


    the hotel for a rest first, and I will hold a banquet tonight and treat both of you well.”


    Daniel knew that Yuliana would go back to Juxshire the next day. In order to express his apology and


    hope for the smooth progress of their future cooperation, he still nned to entertain and apologize to


    her through the banquet.


    It was Daniel who had broken his promise first.


    Yuliana shook her head. “Mr. Xenakis, there’s no need for all this trouble.”


    Daniel persuaded again, “It’s no problem at all! Ms. Livingstone, please don’t decline it. It’s such a rare


    asion for you toe to Romdale, so there’s no need to be polite about it!”


    Yuliana paused for a while and replied, “I didn’t mean to decline. The main reason is that my son also


    came with me this time, and I haven’t been staying with him properly these days.”


    “Well, then… You can take him along, Ms. Livingstone. I also have a son who bes five years old


    this year and must be about the same age as your son. I can take my son with me and have him y


    with yours.” Daniel said.


    Upon hearing the suggestion, Yuliana knew that it would be inappropriate for her to decline further. She


    nodded and replied, “Well, then… Mr. Xenakis, I would like to thank you and your son.”


    “It’s nothing. Ms. Livingstone. I look forward to working with you, too.” Daniel escorted Yuliana and


    James to their car with a smile.


    On the way back to the hotel, Yuliana sent a message to Christopher, asking if he and Rowan were in


    the hotel.


    Christopher did not reply, and Yuliana also did not call him.


    When she returned to the hotel, she first went to the front desk at the hotel lobby to get the spare


    keycard. When she arrived at the door of the room, she found that it was open.


    A burst of childish giggles echoed from inside the room, apanied by a deep voice of an adult man.


    Yuliana paused at the door for a while and then pushed it open, entering the room. She could not help


    but feel irritated, it was as if she could feel veins pop out of her forehead. She looked at the two people


    hitting each other with pillows in their arms. She suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself down.


    “What are you two doing?”


    The pillows on the couch were scattered on the ground, and the clothes Rowan had brought were also


    scattered on the couch and the floor, making the whole room aplete mess.


    Upon hearing Yuliana’s voice, the two stopped tacitly. Rowan threw the pillow down and ran to Yuliana


    barefoot. He tugged on her clothes and skillfully climbed on her.


    Yuliana was full of anger, but she was still afraid that Rowan would fall, so she stretched out her hand


    to hold his butt and looked at Christopher coldly. Thetter was the other culprit who made the room


    messy.


    Christopher did not expect to be so tired after ying with a child, and he copsed onto the


    couch.


    “Mommy! Mr. Coke and I are having a pillow fight. Can you y with us? Please?” Rowan had sweated


    from


    ying. His hair waspletely soaked, and his face was flushed, too.


    Yuliana did not respond, and her face darkened slightly. She put the briefcase in her hand on the


    cab beside her and then carried Rowan while walking straight to the bathroom. “I will take you to


    wash.”

    Before stepping into the bathroom, Yuliana turned her face slightly and said to a certain someone,


    “Please put everything back in ce before Ie out.”


    After entering the bathroom, Yuliana realized that she had forgotten to bring some of Rowan’s clean


    clothes. She put Rowan down and said, “Stand still and don’t move.”


    “Mommy, are you angry?” Rowan reached out and grabbed Yuliana’s clothes.


    Yuliana turned around and looked at her son’s uneasy face. She squatted down and said, “I’m sorry. I


    shouldn’t be reacting like this. But haven’t I told you before that you can’t destroy other people’s things


    when we’re outside?” She continued, “We’re only staying in this room for a few nights, and there will be


    other people. staying here in the future, too. They will also use the things in the room. If you make


    things dirty and damage. them, what about the other people who would stay here in the future?”


    Although everything in the hotel room would be cleaned up by the workers, Yuliana still wanted Rowan


    to understand and know that it was wrong to do so.


    Rowan realized his mistake. Upon facing Yuliana’s sternness, his eyes immediately turned red, and he


    pouted his mouth as if he was about to cry.


    Upon seeing that, Yuliana felt a little regretful. When she was about tofort Rowan, a voice came


    from behind.


    “I was the one who wanted him to y. You don’t have to be so stern with him!” Christopher waved to


    Rowan. “Rowan,e here. Come to me.”


    Rowan looked at Christopher and then at Yuliana, whose expression looked a little gloomy. He broke


    free from Yuliana’s hand and rushed toward Christopher.


    Yuliana was stunned and turned to look at Rowan, who was crying with his face buried in Christopher’s


    thigh. Her heart felt a little empty, and she felt somewhat terrible.


    Those emotions felt heavy. She felt as if they clogged up her heart, and she could not vent them out.


    She raised her eyes and looked at Christopher coldly.


    Christopher nced at her. He bent down and picked up Rowan, then left the bathroom.


    Yuliana stood up slowly, and her legs felt a little numb. She stood still, and Christopher’s voice


    comforting Rowan echoed from outside. Even though they were very close, she still felt that she was


    far away from them.


    Not long after, Rowan, who was outside the bathroom, stopped crying, and the room quieted down.


    Yuliana slowly exhaled a breath. When she was about to go out, her waist was hugged by a pair of soft


    arms. “Mommy, don’t be angry anymore. I love you, Mommy. I’ve done something wrong. I won’t do it


    again.”


    Upon hearing her son’s soft and cute voice, the suffocating feeling in Yuliana’s heart instantly


    disappeared. She picked up Rowan and held him tightly in her arms. “I was also wrong. I shouldn’t be


    so fierce to you. Roe, don’t be angry with me, okay?”


    Rowan kissed Yuliana’s face. “I’m not angry. I love you the most, Mommy.”


    Yuliana’s heart almost melted.


    At the bathroom door, Christopher listened to the conversation between the mother and son. He pulled


    the corners of his mouth into a smile and walked away. He picked up the pillows and clothes scattered


    in the room, putting them back in ce, one by one.


    Yuliana helped Rowan take a shower and change into clean clothes.


    She also cleaned herself up slightly and changed into a ck dress. She then put on a white loose suit


    jacket over it.


    After she had finished packing up, Daniel’s phone call came. “Ms. Livingstone, the car I’ve arranged


    has arrived at the hotel you’re staying in. You can leave the building with your son.”


    “Okay. Thank you, Mr. Xenakis.” After hanging up the phone, Yuliana was ready to take Rowan out.


    Rowan asked curiously, “Mommy, where are we going?”


    Yuliana replied, “I will take you out to eat. There is someone there you can y with, too.”


    Rowan carried his little bag on his back and nodded. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked,


    “Mommy, is Mr. Coke going with us, too?”
