Chapter 340 The Relationship With Caleb
Christopher casually took a book from a shelf and flipped through it.
Seeing that he did not say anything or was not in a rush to speak, Yuliana relaxed her body and leaned her back against the desk. She supported herself with one hand on the edge of the desk and watched Christopher’s behavior silently.
She also saw him take a book from the bookshelf and flip through it.
The books on the bookshelf were not placed according to the strict classification. Usually, they were stuffed back after seeing there were empty gaps in the bookshelf.
However, Yuliana had a good memory. Normally she could find the same book quickly soon after she put it back. Therefore, she could guess which book Christopher had taken just now from the color and the text on the book cover.
The book was about parent-child relationships and family education.
Yuliana personally recognized the contents of the book, so she flipped through it back and forth several times. She also did some annotations and notes on it. The book cover and pages inside turned a little worn. Christopher acted like he was here to read, as he held the book and lowered his head, reading it for a while. Yuliana believed in herself that she had controlled her temper quite well all these years. She could stay calm when facing Christopher again three years later. But now, she still slightly felt a hint of irritation in her mind when staring at the big and tall figure of this man.
Compared with Christopher before he was imprisoned, he currently looked more peaceful, mature, and calm. His emotions also became more introverted, which made him somewhat look similar to Kendrick.
The difference was that Kendrick had been in the upper position for many years and would show an oppressive aura with his every movement. Christopher did not have that on him, and even the arrogance on him before had vanished.
She did not know whether he had matured and grown from the three-year prison or if he was restraining himself deliberately.
He only wore a simple and loose black T-shirt today with a pair of long casual pants underneath. After being released from prison for quite a while, his hair turned slightly longer, looking like chestnut with his hair standing upright.
Yuliana stared at his back from head to toe for a moment, and then her eyes fell on the white scar on the back of his head. It was around two and a half inches, which was very eye-catching in the dense black hair. Nobody could easily ignore it.
Just as she was looking at the scar and was deep in thought, Christopher suddenly turned around. He closed the book in his hand and showed the cover to Yuliana. He asked, “Can you lend me this book for a few days?” Yuliana glanced at the book. As expected, it was the book she had guessed. “Sure.”
Seeing that Christopher spoke first, Yuliana asked next, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Christopher’s gaze met Yuliana’s. The look was sharp like a falcon’s eye. He moved his thin lips. “What’s your relationship with Caleb?”
The look from Yuliana at Christopher was a little dumbfounded. Yuliana then frowned imperceptibly and answered lightly. “This is my own business. I don’t need to answer you.”
In fact, before letting Christopher in, she had already guessed what he wanted to talk to her about.
With her current relationship with Christopher, the only thing that made her could still interact with him was Rowan.
That was why she let Christopher in.
However, she did not expect that Christopher would ask her about her relationship with Caleb.
“You really don’t need to,” Christopher responded indifferently. He turned around and faced the bookshelf. raising his head and staring at the books on the shelf for a while. Then, he took another book and flipped through it. He said with the same indifferent tone, “But if your relationship with Caleb will affect Roe, don’t you think I need to know about it?” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Yuliana frowned slightly. “Roe is my son. No matter what relationship I have with Caleb, it won’t affect that. I won’t let anyone or anything override Roe and hurt him.”
“So, you don’t have to be worried.” She added and paused slightly. Then, a faint smile formed from the corner of her lips, and she said in a sharp tone, “Besides, I have Roe’s custody. Although you are his father, and I don’t object to you meeting him, it doesn’t mean you can interfere in my affairs with Roe.”
Christopher did not react much. He put the book he had taken back on the shelf and turned to face Yulianal once again. He said, “Yuliana, I know what you want to do, but with your ability, you can’t do anything at all, and you will even put yourself and Roe in danger.”
