Chapter 250 Why Do You Want Them

Seeing that it was Christopher, she paused for a moment. After two seconds, she said faintly, “You’re back.”

Christopher hummed in acknowledgment. Walking up to Yuliana, he took Rowan from her arms.

Rowan was energetic and full at the time. He had enough sleep. He clenched his fist and stuffed it into his mouth. His saliva drenched his whole hand, and his black eyes kept staring at Christopher.

Yuliana ignored the father and son. She went to the bathroom and washed herself. When she came out, she saw Christopher sitting on the couch with Rowan in his arms and teasing him.

Rowan crinkled his eyes and smiled.

Christopher asked, “Do you think he can understand me?”

Yuliana walked over. She poked Rowan’s soft face with her finger and said softly, “He’s so small. How can he understand?”

“But he’s smiling at me.”

“It’s just that he’s amused by your movements. He actually has no idea of what’s happening.”

After being discharged from the hospital, Rowan seldom smiled. When he was awake, he would just stare at people quietly most of the time. Moreover, his eyes were not fully developed, so when he looked at people, he only stared symbolically.

But Yuliana found that every time Christopher hugged him, he did smile more.

There were things that were indeed unexplainable.

Though she conceived him for seven months, sometimes she really felt that Rowan seemed to be closer to Christopher.

Yuliana asked, “How is Annabelle?” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Christopher was silent for a moment. “She’s fine.”

Yuliana glanced at him and wanted to ask him something else. But when she saw the faint expression on his face, she swallowed back what she wanted to ask.

Somebody knocked on the door, and Hailey’s voice came through.

“Mr. Solace, Yuliana, breakfast is ready.”

Yuliana hummed a response. Taking her son from Christopher’s arms, she said, “Let’s have breakfast.”

After saying that, she carried Rowan out first. Christopher sat for a while. A while later, he headed to the walk-in wardrobe to get changed and went out.

Yuliana handed the child over to Kylie and sat at the dining table with a wholemeal bun in her hand. Seeing Christopher coming out, she noticed his clothes at a glance. He wore a simple white T-shirt paired with black sports shorts, which revealed his slender and well-proportioned legs.

Although his skin was fair, he was quite hairy. His calves were covered with thick hair.

Yuliana took a sip of milk and asked, “Aren’t you going out today?”

Christopher dragged the chair and sat down. “No.”

He picked up a boiled egg and shelled it. Then, he offered it to Yuliana. Yuliana opened her mouth and took a bite. Christopher stuffed the rest of the egg into his mouth.

Yuliana lowered her eyes and continued eating the wholemeal bun she was holding. After a while of silence, she said, “If you’re staying at home with me because you feel guilty about what happened last night, then it’s unnecessary. I don’t want you to do this.”

Christopher replied, “There’s nothing important today. I don’t need to go to the company. Besides, I wanted to spare a day with you and our son.”

Yuliana did not say anything more.

After breakfast, Rowan fell asleep again.

Yuliana didn’t have much rest last night, so she planned to go back to her room to sleep.

Christopher accompanied Yuliana to lie down for a while. Soon, his phone vibrated twice. He looked at it and got up from the bed. He went outside to return the call.

He said, “You’re up.”

Annabelle gave a soft response. Crumpling the piece of note, she threw it into the trash can. She pulled her hair and asked, “When did you leave?”

Christopher said, “This morning.”

Annabelle walked back and forth in the room twice, but she didn’t find anything. Everything last night seemed like a dream.

If it weren’t for Christopher’s note, she would have suspected it was just a dream.

Annabelle hesitated for a while before asking, “Last night…”

Christopher said, “Someone did go into your house last night.”

Annabelle’s pupils shrank. So, the whip was not her illusion. She gritted her teeth and asked after a while, “Is it him?”

Christopher was silent for two seconds. “He’s dead. How can the dead survive?”

Annabelle closed her eyes. “Yes, he’s dead. But who else could it be except him?” she thought.

Christopher said, “I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this matter. Why don’t you stay in a hotel? I’ll get two people to protect you.”

Annabelle let out a heavy sigh of relief. “Thank you for last night. But you can leave the rest of the matter alone. I’ll handle it myself.”

Christopher raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Annabelle answered and hung up the phone.

Christopher stood by the window for a while and dialed another number. “Craig, find me two people.”

“Who?”

“Someone who’s good at investigating and fighting.”

On the other end of the line, Craig was stunned. “Why do you need them?”

“I have my reasons,” Christopher said.

Craig was speechless for a moment. “I’ll ask them to contact you tonight.”

Yuliana woke up after sleeping for more than an hour. She needed to feed Rowan milk.

She woke up and stared at Christopher, who was still asleep. Then she gently lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

Christopher didn’t wake up until lunchtime.

In the afternoon, Yuliana accompanied Rowan in the nursery. When he was awake, she would play with him. When he was asleep, she would either read a book or sleep in the nursery if she was sleepy. Christopher went in and out several times. His phone rang every once in a while, so he would leave the room to answer the calls and deal with things.

When Rowan was awake, his phone didn’t ring. But his phone rang every time Rowan fell asleep. Startled by the ringing, Rowan twitched his limbs.

When Christopher came in after answering the phone, Yuliana glared at him unhappily. “Either mute your phone or don’t bring your phone in.”

Christopher muted his phone and threw it aside. Sitting down beside Yuliana, he put his arm around her shoulders and glanced at her face. However, Yuliana focused on flipping through the book in her hand, completely pretending he didn’t exist.

“Okay.” Yuliana said faintly. She was still fixing her eyes on the book.

Christopher said, “There will be a birthday banquet in a few days. Ken is not around, so I need to go there. Can you accompany me?”

Yuliana was stunned for a moment before looking at Christopher. “What birthday party?”

Christopher said, “Leonard’s grandfather’s 80th birthday.”

Why Do You Want Them

Actually, Christopher was somewhat related to Leonard’s family. Winnie’s surname was also Fuller. But when it came to Winnie’s generation, the relationships between them were no longer close. They were still considered relatives, but distant ones.

Although Christopher’s maternal side of the family hadn’t been around much with Leonard’s family, the Solace family shared a good relationship with Leonard’s family. They had been working together in business for many years.

No matter what, the Solace family had to attend the birthday banquet.

Kendrick was in Alendor, so he couldn’t come back in time. Besides, Zachary was in a coma So, Christopher had to go on behalf of his family.

Moreover, judging from the relationship between Christopher and Leonard, they should go to the banquet.

Yuliana replied, “Okay.”

After saying that, Yuliana shifted her attention to the book again

Seeing that, Christopher took the book from her hand and put it on his side so that she couldn’t reach it.

Yuliana glared at him with anger. “Give it back.”

“No.”

Christopher began to play tricks. Holding her back with one hand, he grabbed her legs with the other. He scooped her up and put her on his lap. Then he pinched her chin and kissed her.
