Chapter 334
Obviously, they wouldn’t take a child’s word seriously.
However, Yuliana felt that Rowan was in a crucial period of getting to know the world. It was necessary for him to have a clear understanding of the relationship between people instead of being vague and causing him to misunderstand.
Yuliana turned Rowan’s chair to face her and explained carefully, “Mommy and Mr. Duncan are good friends. We are different from Jasper’s parents.”
Rowan didn’t understand Yuliana’s words. He tilted his head and asked, “Why is it different?”
In his view, Jasper’s parents were a man and a woman. His mother and Wesley were also a woman and a man, which was good enough to be his parents.
He looked confused. “Granny Hailey said that a man and a woman can get married.”
For a moment, Yuliana didn’t know how to respond so that Rowan could understand. She thought briefly and said, “It’s like how you are good friends with Annie and Jasper, right?”
Annie was also a child of Yuliana’s neighbor. She was a beautiful mixed-race girl.
She was a little older and already in school, so Rowan didn’t have as much time to play with Annie as he did with Jasper, who played with him every day.
When Annie and Jasper were mentioned, Rowan nodded without full understanding.
Both Annie and Jasper were his good friends.
“Mommy and Mr. Duncan are good friends, just like you, Jasper, and Annie,” Yuliana added.
Rowan furrowed his light-colored eyebrows and asked, “Can’t good friends get married?”
This question left Yuliana at a loss for words.
She looked at Rowan’s puzzled eyes and hesitated for a moment, realizing that his question was becoming more and more complicated, and she didn’t know how to explain it clearly to Rowan.
“Yeah, can’t good friends get married?”
Wesley, who had been silent all this time, listening to Yuliana explaining their relationship to Rowan, suddenly joked.
Yuliana glanced at Wesley and saw that he didn’t seem to be joking much. His deep eyes fell on her.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Rowan.
Rowan’s big eyes shone when he heard Wesley’s words. He looked at Wesley and asked in surprise, “Mr. Duncan, you don’t know either?”
Wesley leaned over and rubbed Rowan’s head. “Yes, I don’t know, so I asked mom. But if you want me to be your father, marrying your mom is not the only way. I can take you as my godson.”

“Can I?” Rowan was confused again. He looked at Wesley first and then turned to Yuliana. “Mommy, can I?”
Yuliana didn’t expect things to escalate to this point. There was nothing wrong with Rowan having Wesley as his godfather, but she didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly. Since Rowan learned that every child had a father, she could sense that he also wanted a father of his own.
She touched Rowan’s head, took a clean glass, and poured water into it. She handed the cup to Rowan and said, “Since you want Mr. Duncan to be godfather, take this glass of water and give it to him.”
“Okay!”

Rowan jumped off the chair with a glass of water in his hand, then walked. carefully to Wesley. “Drink some water, Mr. Duncan.”
Wesley took the glass from Rowan and said with a smile, “You don’t have to be so formal.”
He just slipped that in there casually, but he didn’t expect Yuliana to agree and even pour a glass of water for Rowan to bring it to him.
Wesley took a sip of the water. He then put down the glass and picked Rowan up. “I can’t believe I got myself a son so cheaply.”
Rowan defended himself, saying, “I’m not cheap. I’m very expensive.”
“Yes, yes, you are very expensive!” Wesley rubbed his fluffy hair. “Good boy. Call me Daddy Wesley.”
Rowan put his arms around Wesley’s neck and gave him a kiss on his face. He exclaimed sweetly with his eyes curved, “Daddy Wesley! Daddy Wesley! Daddy Wesley! I have a dad like Jasper now!”
He shouted several times in a row, and Yuliana could feel how happy he was.
Even during the meal, he clung to Wesley and kept calling him “Daddy Wesley” while asking Wesley to pick up food for him. He wanted Wesley to play with cars and Lego with him as Donald did to Jasper.
Throughout the whole process, he only cared about his newly recognized godfather and left Yuliana, his biological mother, aside.
Wesley’s phone rang halfway through the meal.
He picked up the phone and said to Yuliana, “You and Roe go ahead and eat. I’ll be right back.”
Yuliana nodded and watched Wesley walk toward the entrance of the restaurant.
Although she had never asked Wesley what he did for a living over the years, she could still guess a little based on some previous information. She had also encountered similar situations like today countless times, so she was not surprised.
However, this time, Wesley was away for a long time. Yuliana and Rowan had finished their meals, but Wesley still hadn’t returned.
Yuliana was about to call the waiter over to pay the bill when Rowan, who was watching the bears on his phone, suddenly jumped off the chair and said. anxiously, “Mommy, I need to pee.”
Yuliana immediately picked Rowan up and headed toward the restroom. “Hold on. We’re almost there.”
When they arrived at the restroom, Yuliana placed Rowan at the door of the men’s room and said, “Can you go in by yourself? I’ll meet you outside.”
Rowan nodded and rushed into the men’s room.
Yuliana had taught Rowan about these things before, and Rowan had also had the experience of going into the men’s room alone, so she was not worried.
After he finished urinating at the urinal, the anxiety on Rowan’s face gradually eased.
He walked over to the sink and wanted to wash his hands, but he found that the sink was too high, and he couldn’t reach it even if he stood on his tiptoes.
Rowan stood by the sink, feeling troubled and not knowing what to do. Suddenly, his body lifted off the ground.
He turned around, and his eyes lit up instantly. “Mr. Coke!”
Christopher responded, “Do you want to wash your hands?”
Rowan nodded and hurriedly put his hand under the sensor faucet. He rubbed his little hands and rinsed them well under running water.
After Rowan finished washing his hands, Christopher put him back on the ground. Seeing Rowan with his hands outstretched and his fingers spread, frowning at the water on his hands, Christopher took two pieces of paper towel from the dispenser on the wall, crouched, and gently dried his hands.
Rowan looked at his dry hands and finally curved his eyes with satisfaction. “Thank you, Mr. Coke!”
Christopher gently pinched his soft face and said, “You’re welcome.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He stared at Rowan for a while and asked, “Where’s your mom?”
Rowan pointed in the direction of the door and said in a soft voice, “Mommy’s outside.”
Christopher glanced in the direction he pointed at and asked, “You’re amazing. You can go to the restroom by yourself?”
“Mommy said I’m a big boy now, and I have to go to the restroom by myself,” Rowan said with a hint of pride. “Mr. Coke, am I great?”
