Chapter 336 You Are Not Daddy
Yuliana’s body stiffened when she heard Christopher’s question, but she quickly relaxed. She knew her son very well. Although Rowan wasn’t very afraid of strangers, he didn’t let just anyone hold him.
For example, Rowan had seen Craig several times, but every time Craig wanted to hug him, he refused. However, Rowan shortly broke Yuliana’s perception.
“Yes,” Rowan replied.
Rowan let go of his hand holding Yuliana’s neck and pounced on Christopher with open arms.
Yuliana didn’t expect that at all. As she was in stilettos, she lost her balance and her body shook when Rowan pounced on Christopher. At that moment, a powerful and warm palm held the back of her waist. Today, Yuliana was dressed in a white silk shirt paired with a black skirt that featured a lotus leaf border and fell to the length of her calves. Her feet had on a pair of black stilettos that covered her ankles to her calves, exuding the sensuality of a woman.
When the palm touched her, the muscles of her whole body flinched reflexively.
After she stabilized herself, Christopher’s hand retracted immediately. At the same time, Rowan was also taken over by the man from her arms.
Yuliana panicked after sensing her arms were empty, and she subconsciously wanted to take the child back from Christopher. As she turned her head to look at Christopher holding Rowan with one hand, both father and son looked at her. In that instant, she felt her words catch in her throat and couldn’t say anything.
The faces of the man and the child were so similar.
Christopher said, “I’ll carry him to the parking lot.”
Yuliana pursed her lips and said nothing. She tacitly agreed with him.
Yet, Elaine was not happy when she saw their interaction.
She was unsure whether Christopher and Yuliana still had past feelings toward each other, but she could see that Christopher cared about her son. As long as the child was still here, Christopher and Yuliana couldn’t be completely separated.
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
When the door opened, several people were already in the elevator. Seeing people outside the elevator who wanted to enter, the people inside took the initiative to move to the innermost part to make room.
Wesley held the elevator door and let the others in.
As Yuliana stood in front of the elevator, she stepped into the elevator first, then followed by Christopher, who was holding the child. Elaine walked behind Christopher, followed by Craig and Wesley.
The space inside the elevator was not spacious. Therefore, the elevator was packed after they entered.
Within the elevator, Yuliana stood amid the crowd while Christopher stood near her. Their clothes touched, and hot breath emanated from his body, constantly steaming forth. She felt that the air in the elevator was vacuumed, making her almost unable to breathe.
“Mommy…” Rowan suddenly voiced in the quiet elevator.
Yuliana came back to her senses and looked at Rowan. She gently responded, “Mommy’s here. What’s wrong?”
Rowan didn’t say anything but stared at Yuliana. He wrapped his arms around Christopher’s neck and leaned his head against Christopher’s broad shoulders. He was very obedient and quiet. The mother and son looked at each other for two seconds, and the child couldn’t hold his eyelids, opening his mouth to yawn.
As the space in the elevator was too small and stuffy, Rowan’s hair became wet and stuck on his forehead.
Yuliana took out a tissue and wiped his sweat. She raised her eyes unexpectedly and met Christopher’s expressionless eyes. Instantly, she curled up her hand with the tissue involuntarily.
She withdrew her hand, averted her eyes from him, and looked in the direction of the elevator door.
When they arrived, the underground garage was full, so Yuliana and Wesley parked their cars in an open parking area nearby.
After getting out of the elevator, Yuliana wanted to take Rowan back from Christopher’s arms, but she saw Christopher holding Rowan and walking straight to the exit of the hall on the first floor. She stood transfixed on the spot for two seconds. When she was about to catch up with them after snapping back to her senses, the woman with Christopher rolled her eyes and glared at Yuliana.
But the woman didn’t say anything and immediately chased after Christopher.
Wesley stood beside Yuliana. He looked at her silently for two seconds and asked in a low voice, “Are you right?”
Yuliana shook her head calmly.
Wesley’s eyes darkened as he watched Christopher hold Rowan in his arms while walking away.
As Christopher had long legs, he walked fast, leaving everyone behind.

Elaine wanted to catch up with Christopher, but she couldn’t tolerate how he treated her. After chasing after him for a few steps, she slowed down with a cold face and kept neither close nor distant from Christopher. Based on her previous temper, she would have already slapped him and left.
In truth, she could do that now. She couldn’t figure out why, but she just didn’t want to do so.
She would rather follow him, furious.
Rowan was very quiet and didn’t like to talk when he wanted to sleep. Now, he was like a harmless kitten leaning against Christopher’s arms.
Christopher hugged Rowan’s soft body and felt an inexplicable emotion. He lowered his head to look at Rowan and queried, “Do you want to play with a car?”
Rowan’s eyes lit up once he heard the word “car” but darkened soon after. He frowned and said, “I want Daddy Wesley to play with me.”
He could play with the car himself. Yuliana and Hailey could also play car with him.
But what he wanted was to play with his father as Jasper did.
Christopher was silent for two seconds. “Can I play with you?”
Rowan opened his big clear eyes and glanced at Christopher. “You’re not Daddy.”
Hearing that, Christopher stopped. He looked at Rowan’s innocent eyes, his face reflected in the latter’s pupils.
Christopher questioned, “Do you want to play with your daddy?”
Rowan nodded, shook his head, and then nodded again. Confusion and hesitation filled his face. “Jasper has his daddy, and Annie has her daddy too. Their daddies play with them. Mommy said I also have my daddy, but I haven’t seen him, and he doesn’t play with me.”
After walking a few minutes from the restaurant to the parking lot, Christopher arrived first, carrying Rowan in his arms. Later, Elaine, Yuliana, Wesley, and Craig reached the parking lot in sequence.
Elaine was initially two steps away from Christopher. With an unhappy face, she looked at Rowan playing with the buttons on Christopher’s clothes. When she saw Yuliana and the others, she immediately stood beside Christopher.
Yuliana stepped forward and uttered, “Give him back to me!”
Christopher didn’t hand Rowan over to Yuliana. Instead, he asked in a low voice, “Where is your car?” Yuliana fell silent. Then, she turned around and walked straight to the place where she parked her car. Christopher followed her. There was no unnecessary communication between them. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing the scene, Elaine couldn’t help but explode.
“Christopher!” she shouted at Christopher’s back furiously.
Christopher turned to look at her and said, “Wait for me here.”
After that, he continued to hold Rowan in his arms and follow Yuliana.
Elaine felt a little relieved by Christopher’s words, but she was still very displeased. As a result of easing up, she actually stood rooted to the spot and awaited Christopher to return.
Wesley saw Christopher following Yuliana walking in the direction of her car. He didn’t stay and also followed
her.
Craig looked at the three people and chuckled secretly. Then, he looked at Elaine with sympathy.
