Chapter 355
Chapter 355 Please Carry Rowan For A While
Daniel introduced his wife and son. Then, he looked at Christopher and Rowan, who came with
Yuliana, and asked, “Are they your husband and son, Ms. Livingstone? They’re so handsome and
show a remarkable resemnce to each other.”
Christopher raised his brows and nced at Daniel. He curled his lips and did not say anything.
Yuliana wanted to exin, but Daniel’sst sentence stumped her.
She whispered inwardly. “Look at their faces. Anyone can tell they are father and son.”
Smiling, she exined, “Mr. Xenakis, this is Christopher Sce. He’s not my husband.”
Momentarily stunned, Daniel had his eyes darted back and forth between Yuliana and Christopher. He
seemed to realize something andughed heartily. “I’m sorry for getting it wrong. Nice to meet you, Mr.
Sce. Please ept my apologies if I have caused you any difort.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward to shake hands with Christopher.
Christopher curled his lips and said, “Don’t worry about it. It’s me who should apologize for bothering
you, Mr. Xenakis.
After exchanging pleasantries, Daniel ordered the waiter to serve the dishes.
The restaurant served authentic Romdale dishes, which were mainly spicy. Almost every dish was
cooked with chili peppers. Yuliana often followed Fiona to eat spicy food when she was teaching at
Juxshire Primary School, so she could still take it.
There was no problem for the two children since they sat separately.
James, who came from Xanfield, could take spicy food too.
As such, Christopher was the only person who couldn’t eat spicy food.
In the beginning, he got choked by the spicy food, coughed a few times, and took a sip of wine.
Afterward, he put down his fork and only drank wine.
Yuliana did not pay attention to Christopher. Daniel, the deputy CEO, and the technical director of
Shenton Technologies had been toasting to her and talking about the project. She could not be
bothered thinking about anything else.
Since Daniel had guessed the rtionship between Yuliana and Christopher, he did not talk much to
Christopher and almost disregarded his presence.
There was no way Yuliana could avoid drinking alcohol in such a kind of social engagement, and she
had a
lot of it.
Even though James was helping her, she still drank a lot. When they were about to leave, her legs
were weak, as if she was walking on cotton. Luckily, James was holding her, so she didn’t fall.
“Ms. Livingstone, watch your step.”
Just as James’ words fell, Yuliana missed her step and twisted her right foot. An intense pain instantly
shot through her ankle.
Hearing Yuliana’s low cry, the people around immediately walked over. Lydia Xenakis, Daniel’s wife,
nced at Yuliana’s feet and asked, “Ms. Livingstone, are you okay?”
Frowning, Yuliana forced herself to endure the pain and waved her hand. “I’m fine.”
“How is that possible?” Lydia hurriedly walked over and held Yuliana’s other hand. “Let me help you
downstairs.”
“It’s okay. I can walk by myself.”
Since Yuliana drank alcohol earlier, her emotions intensified, and she didn’t like being held by others.
She exerted a little force and pushed Lydia away before she shoved James’ hand away. She tried to
walk by herself and felt that her foot didn’t hurt that much after the intense pain earlier.
Holding the sleeping Rowan, Christopher lowered his head and swept his gaze across Yuliana’s
sprained foot.
Yuliana took two steps forward and smiled at Lydia, “Look. I can walk by myself.”
Lydia’s hands hung in midair as she looked at the staggering Yuliana. She was afraid that thetter
would roll down the stairs.
“Mr. Chaser,” Christopher, who had been silent the whole night as if he did not present, suddenly called
out. James looked at Christopher.
Christopher walked forward and said, “Please carry Rowan for a while.”
“Sure.”
James was a bit slow to react. After James took over Rowan slowly, Christopher walked up to Yuliana.
Seeing Christophering. Yuliana was a little annoyed. “I said I don’t need your help.”
“I won’t help you. Just walk by yourself,” Christopher said.
Yuliana looked at him for a while before continuing to go downstairs, Christopher followed behind her.
When they arrived at the first floor, Yuliana smiled proudly at Christopher, “Seel I said I can walk by
myself!” Christopher looked at the smile on her face and chuckled lightly. “Yes. You can walk by
yourself.”
The group of people walked outside the restaurant. Daniel had arranged a car toe over. James
carried Rowan into the car first, while Yuliana bade Daniel and the group farewell.
Daniel said, “It’s quite a rush this time, Ms. Livingstone. The next time you visit here, I’ll take you to
have fun around Romdale. Romdale not only has a lot of delicious food, but also exciting attractions.”
Yuliana said, “Sure. Thanks for your hospitality tonight, Mr. Xenakis. We shall leave now.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the car parked on the side of the road. But
because of her swaying body and previously sprained feet, she lost her bnce when she turned
around and nearly fell. Just when she was about to fall, a strong arm reached out to her.
The person wrapped his arm around Yuliana’s waist and pulled her into his arms, making Yuliana
pounce on his chest.
The scene frightened the people aside, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yuliana
fall into Christopher’s arms. Then, they looked at the duo meaningfully.
Yuliana was dizzy for a moment. After she stabilized herself, she slowly recovered. Sheid her hands
on Christopher’s chest, pushed him twice, and got up from his arms.
“I’m fine.”
Christopher loosened his embrace but did not remove his hand from Yuliana’s waist. He looked at the
people standing beside them and said, “Mr. Xenakis, we shall leave now.”
Daniel smiled, “Goodbye, Ms. Livingstone, Mr. Sce. Pleasee to Romdale again.”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Christopher nodded slightly and helped Yuliana to get into the car.
James closed the door, walked to Daniel and the group, and politely greeted them, “Mr. Xenakis, Ms.
Livingstone and I will return to Juxshire tomorrow. We will arrange for others toe to deal with
relevant matters after this.”
“Okay, I will cooperate well when the timees.” After Daniel finished speaking, he couldn’t help but
nce at the back seat of the car. However, the door was closed, and he could only vaguely see inside
from the window. He hesitated for a moment before asking curiously, “Mr. Chaser, about Mr. Sce
and Ms. Livingstone…”
James smiled and didn’t answer his question, “Mr. Xenakis, Mrs. Xenakis, Mr. Landon, Mr. Whitman,
Ms. Livingstone and I have to make a move first. Thank you for your hospitality tonight.”
Daniel smiled and watched Yuliana and her group leave.
On the way back, Yuliana felt very uneasy. The back seat could amodate two adults and one child
well. However, Rowan, who was sleeping, stuck his butt out in the air and upied a lot of space,
which made Yuliana feel ufortable.
She closed her eyes tightly and covered her lips with her hands, suppressing the suffocating feeling in
her chest.
She sat in the middle, with Rowan sleeping with his butt sticking out in the air on her right and
Christopher on her left. She felt as though she was trapped between rocks, and there was no room for
her to breathe.
“Are you feeling ufortable?”
The man’s low, inquiring voice came from the side.
Yuliana closed her eyes and didn’t want to talk to him. She was afraid that taking a breath would make
her vomit.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands gently attached to her forehead.
Yuliana opened her eyes and looked aside. Upon seeing Christopher’s dark eyes, she couldn’t help
pursing her lips and shoved his hand away.
Christopher didn’t do anything to her anymore but ordered the driver at the front, “Please pull over for a
while.”
The driver hummed in response upon hearing that. He drove forward for a while and pulled over the car
at the side.
