Chapter 245 Really
On the day Rowan got discharged from the hospital, Yuliana went to pick him up with Christopher.
The moment Yuliana held Rowan in her arms, she could feel his soft little body. Rowan opened his eyes slightly,
making a round mouth while waving his chubby hands in the air. Meanwhile, Yuliana froze on the spot, not knowing
how to react.
She was afraid that she would disturb him and make him uncomfortable.
After holding him for a while, Rowan started wailing in Yuliana’s arms. It could be that he was unable to get used to
the environment outside the incubator. His cheeks flushed badly, and Yuliana was frightened to see
1.
Kylie Zabel, the maternity matron, immediately hugged the baby and coaxed him gently by cradling him. After a
while, Rowan stopped crying and soon fell asleep.
Yuliana observed at the side, feeling a little envious. She wanted to hold Rowan again but was afraid of waking him
up.
Noticing her helpless expression, Kylie chuckled. “The way you held him was too stiff. Although he’s small, he’s
extremely sensitive to the environment. A newborn can easily detect any discomfort, and a cry is one of his first
verbal communications.”
Yuliana listened carefully to her words. She had tried her best to learn newborn baby tips before the baby was born
in the past month. However, it was not that easy to put them into action.
She could only think of Rowan while holding him just now.
“Don’t worry. Take your time,” comforted Kylie.
At night, Rowan fell asleep in the crib after finishing his milk.
Sitting beside the crib, Yuliana stared at his little face. His skin was too thin to retain moisture. She noticed that his
face was peeling, and there was some redness. At that moment, she suddenly recalled what Christopher mentioned
when Rowan was born.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Christopher said that Rowan looks like a chubby snowball. Well, I agree with him now,” thought Yuliana. Although
Rowan was still a baby, his double eyelids were obvious. He inherited his eyes and facial features from Christopher.
Nonetheless, his face shape looked similar to Yuliana’s.
Yuliana looked at him in a daze, not knowing that someone had come in.
Christopher walked behind her and leaned over, supporting himself with his arms on both sides of the crib. She
came back to her senses when Christopher embraced her in his arms. Turning around, she looked at his head and
said, “Be careful. Don’t let the water on your head drip on him.”
Hearing that, Christopher snorted lightly and deliberately shook his head, trying to splash the water. Yuliana felt the
water on her face. However, she ignored it and looked at Rowan in the crib subconsciously.
The sound asleep Rowan seemed to be frightened as his limbs trembled. There were water droplets on his face.
Hastily, Yuliana wiped off the water on Rowan’s face. She turned around to stare at Christopher, only to see him
grinning wickedly. “Christopher!”
Christopher lowered his gaze and said bitterly, “Since he came home, you only focus attention on him.”
He felt invisible to Yuliana with Rowan around.
Startled by his words, Yuliana quickly realized that she had really neglected Christopher.
“Not just today, but I’ve been ignoring him since I was discharged,” contemplated Yuliana.
Rowan had been staying alone in the hospital at that time. That thought alone filled Yuliana with anxiety that she
couldn’t eat and sleep well. After Rowan’s condition finally stabilized, she called Callie and Sabrina to inquire about
something.
She felt that there was a boulder on her chest, so heavy that she could not even breathe. Moreover, Yuliana was
affected by the pregnancy, both physically and psychologically. Because of that, she didn’t have much time and
energy for Christopher.
Besides worrying about her postpartum body, she was bothered by Margaret as well.
Neither of them brought that up after that day. Nevertheless, Yuliana could still feel that Christopher hadn’t let that
go. She had a subtle hunch, albeit their relationship remained the same.
Yuliana met his eyes and kissed him on the chin. “Let’s see who he looks like.”
The next second, Christopher glanced at the little boy in the crib and asked, “Can you tell who he looks like?” Yuliana
curled up in his embrace and smiled softly. “His facial features look like yours. His face shape looks like mine.”
They looked at Rowan beside the crib for a while before returning to their room.
Yuliana came out from her shower.
Meanwhile, Christopher was playing with his phone on the bed. Hearing the commentary, Yuliana assumed that he
was watching a game tournament video.
She went to check on Rowan again. Although the maternity matron was there, she was still worried and gave Kylie
instructions. After all, it was the first night Rowan would be staying at home.
When Yuliana returned to the room, Christopher was not on the bed anymore. She looked around and saw the
bathroom light was brightly lit.
Then Yuliana lifted the quilt and lay on the bed.
A few minutes later, Christopher got on the bed and switched off the light. The room darkened in an instant. With
that, Yuliana wrapped herself into Christopher’s embrace.
Christopher’s body turned stiff for a moment, but soon he relaxed. He merely hugged Yuliana gently and kissed her
on the forehead twice.
After waiting for a while, Yuliana felt his steady heartbeat pounding. She lifted her fingers and started drawing
circles on his chest.
There was no response from Christopher. He fell asleep quietly.
Opening her eyes, Yuliana raised her head slightly and looked at Christopher’s face through the dim light in the
bedroom.
Christopher’s eyes were shut, and his lips were pursed into a tight line.
The corner of her lips curled up slightly as she moved her hand down his chest. As soon as she touched his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabdomen, Christopher pressed her hand abruptly.
Christopher opened his eyes and saw Yuliana smiling smugly. With a frown, he warned, “Stop messing around.”
“I’m not.” Yuliana blinked before asking bluntly, “Don’t you want to do it?”
Of course, he wanted to do it.
As a matter of fact, it had been nearly three months since they did it together. They had been sleeping next to each
other, but Christopher could not do anything.
He could feel the desperation surging within him as days passed by. That feeling grew stronger after Rowan
was born.
Nonetheless, Yuliana needed time for recovery. For the past month, they merely gave each other a peck.
Christopher was afraid that he couldn’t restrain himself.
Pressing on her hand, Christopher asked, “What do you think?”
Almost immediately. Yuliana’s face turned hot. Her vision became blurry, and his face turned fuzzy in front of her.
She bit her lower lip and murmured, “I can help you.”
It was safer for them to wait at least for a while until Yuliana fully recovered from the pregnancy. However, Yuliana
felt guilty for neglecting Christopher all this while. She wanted to make it up to him.
Emotions flitted across Christopher’s eyes. He looked shocked after hearing her words.
“Really?” His voice was hoarse.
It wasn’t something that Yuliana enjoyed doing. Hence, Christopher didn’t want to pressure her into doing it.
However, he didn’t refuse this time, as she was the one who initiated it.
Without saying anything, Yuliana turned over and proved it to him with action.
They saw Annabelle at Rowan’s birthday party.
Although it was a birthday party for Rowan, he was in fact only two months old.
They held the party at the Solace residence.
The second branch of the Solace family, the third branch of the Solace family, and the Fuller family attended the
party.
Meanwhile, Callie arrived at Juxshire the day before the birthday party. She had a meal with Yuliana and Christopher
before heading back to Jeahron that night. Having met Rowan, she didn’t attend the party the next day.
