Chapter 304
She went to find Christopher first and wanted to know what was happening, but Christopher didn’t say anything. So she went to Oceanview Apartment to find Yuliana.
Yuliana told Layla the truth about her relationship with Christopher. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Layla sneered. “Do you really believe this?”
Yuliana blinked and looked at her. “Does it matter if I believe it or not? Layla, there’s no one so blind as those who will not see.”
It was a fact that Christopher wanted to divorce her, regardless of the reason.
As Christopher said, they were Rowan’s parents. They had many good memories in the past, so there was no need to get sour in the end.
Everything was fine this way.
Layla was struck mute for a moment. She slowly blew out the turbid air in her chest and smiled coldly. “Perhaps I’m old. I genuinely don’t understand what you young people are thinking.”
After moving back to Oceanview Apartment, Yuliana got back to a quiet life.
With Hailey’s help, she didn’t need to worry about the chores inside and outside the house. She only needed to take care of Rowan, which was an easy task.
She read books or watched movies during her free time. She even learned to cook with Hailey from time to time. Perhaps it was because there was nothing that bothered her mind at the moment, but she managed to learn to cook some decent dishes in just a few days.
That evening, Yuliana made three dishes and one soup with Hailey’s help. After eating, they took Rowan for a walk.
Recently, Yuliana learned that there was a park near Oceanview Apartment. Many people came to the park to exercise and walk their dogs in the evening. These days, after having dinner with Hailey, they would take Rowan for a walk around the park and go back after eight o’clock.
It was past Independence Day, and the weather was just right.
They made a detour in the park tonight. It was almost nine o’clock when they reached home.
After getting out of the elevator, Hailey pushed the stroller while Yuliana held Rowan in her arms.
Rowan was probably tired and sleepy. He was complaining on the way back, so Yuliana could only pick him. up.
Hailey opened the door in front of her. She caught a glimpse of the bright light in the living room and couldn’t help but mutter, “I remember turning off the light when I went out.”
Hearing this, Yuliana also looked inside and had a faint negative feeling.
However, she didn’t tell Hailey directly.
Hailey went in to change her shoes, put the stroller in place, and then took Rowan from Yuliana. When Yuliana was changing her shoes, Hailey carried Rowan into the living room. Then, Hailey’s delighted voice sounded. “Mr. Solace, when did you come here? Why didn’t you call us?”
Christopher was sitting on the couch and looking at Hailey. Then, he looked in the direction behind Hailey, stopped for a moment, and replied, “I just arrived.”
Actually, he had been here for about half an hour.
He came here on the time when Yuliana came back, but he didn’t expect her to reach home more than half an hour late today.
Christopher got up and took Rowan from Hailey’s arms. He asked Rowan gently,
“Did you miss me?”
Hailey looked at the interaction between the father and the son with tears in her
eyes.
She thought Christopher would never come to Oceanview Apartment again.
Yuliana glanced at Christopher. There wasn’t any emotion on her face. Then, she went straight to the bedroom.
Hailey glanced at Yuliana and asked. “Mr. Solace, have you had dinner? Do you want me to get you something to eat?”
Christopher sat on the couch with Rowan in his arms and didn’t look at Hailey. After a few seconds, he said casually, “Just make something simple.”
He had a dinner meeting in the evening. However, he was not in the mood and excused himself halfway through the meal. On his way back to the Solace residence, he suddenly asked the driver to turn around and send him to Oceanview Apartment instead.
Although he didn’t eat much, he didn’t feel hungry.
Hailey hummed a response. Then, she added, “Yuliana cooked the dinner, and there are still some leftovers. Can I serve you some lasagna?”
“Of course.”
Hailey went to the kitchen happily.
Although it was cold tonight, Yuliana took a shower first after she returned to the room. She had broken into a sweat after walking around. Her body felt sticky throughout with sweat, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.
After Yuliana came out of the shower, she saw Christopher sitting at the table, holding a fork and eating slowly.
Hailey was holding Rowan while talking to Christopher.
Yuliana walked over to carry Rowan to shower. She came back a little late today. If she delayed further and didn’t bathe Rowan before his usual sleeping time, he would burst into tears again.
When she got to the table, she glanced at the plate of lasagna and looked at the side dishes. They were leftovers from their dinner today.
Hailey glanced at Christopher again when she saw Yuliana coming out. She hurriedly said, “Yuliana, are you hungry? There’s still some lasagna left in the pan. Do you want some?”
“It’s okay. I’m not hungry,” Yuliana replied nonchalantly. Then, she took Rowan and said, “I’ll take Roe for a shower.”
She didn’t spare Christopher a glance.
Hailey nodded in embarrassment. Seeing Yuliana carry Rowan back to her room, Hailey couldn’t help sighing.
Christopher quietly ate the lasagna in front of him and looked calm.
Hailey felt a little upset looking at them like this.
After Christopher finished his dinner, Hailey put away the plate and went to the kitchen to wash it. Then, she served the remaining lasagna and rinsed the clean.

When Hailey came out of the kitchen, she glanced around and didn’t see Christopher in the living room. There was no one in the guest restroom too.
“Has he left?” she wondered.
Right then, Hailey suddenly thought of something and immediately went to the couch to take a look.
Christopher’s coat was still there.
Hailey pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and looked in the direction of the bedroom. The door was closed, and no one knew what was happening inside. However, she couldn’t help but feel a little happy.
There was still a child between the couple. They used to be so close to each other. As long as they were willing to communicate more, there was nothing that couldn’t be solved.
Christopher came into the room for a while and didn’t disturb Yuliana showering Rowan.
He stood at the bathroom door and listened to the voices inside. From time to time, he could hear Yuliana talking to Rowan in a gentle voice. Although Rowan didn’t know how to speak, Christopher could hear him babbling in response to Yuliana.
“No!”
Christopher didn’t know what Rowan had done that suddenly annoyed Yuliana, as her voice became serious.
Rowan murmured again and sounded piteous.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be mean to you.” Yuliana’s voice immediately softened, “But you can’t splash the water on mom’s clothes, okay?”
Christopher listened to the interaction between the mother and the son and unconsciously sketched the scene inside his mind.
After ten minutes, Yuliana finished showering Rowan, wrapped him in a baby bath towel, and went out. Just then, she saw Christopher standing at the door. She paused for a while, motionlessly. Then she carried Rowan out and put him in the bed.
After that, she went to the walk-in wardrobe room to get clean clothes for Rowan before going out to make milk for him. Rowan lay on the crib with a bottle in his arms and dozed off while drinking milk.
