Chapter 347 I Want Mommy
After finishing the cake, Caleb and Yuliana said their farewell.
With their arms linked, Elaine and Christopher sent Caleb and Yuliana downstairs. Together with Priscilia and her
husband, they then watched Caleb and Yuliana leave in the car.
“Mr. and Mrs. Moss, it’s getting late. I should go back too,” Christopher also proposed to leave as soon as Caleb and
Yuliana left.
“It’s still early. What do you mean it’s getting late? Didn’t you usually sleep at two or three o’clock at dawn? It’s only
ten o’clock now!” Elaine argued as she did not want to separate from Christopher yet.
“Elaine,” Priscilia warned and tugged her daughter.
Although they were a couple, both of them were still new in the relationship. Hence, it was impossible for them to
stay overnight under the same roof.
With a glance at Christopher, Andie invited, “Let’s head upstairs and have a cup of tea with me to cure my
hangover.”
“Okay.” Christopher nodded in agreement and followed.
In early July, Yuliana had to go to Romdale for about three to four days due to work.
Over the past year, she did not go out for business trips much. Most of the time, she arranged for Craig to go on
important business trips, mainly with the consideration of Rowan.
Rowan was distraught when she first started to work back then; it would be even more upsetting for Rowan not to
be able to see Yuliana if she had to go on a business trip for a few days.
However, this time, she had no choice. Craig was arranged for a business trip to Jeahron, and the project in
Romdale was crucial, with no room for mistakes. Since she felt uneasy about leaving the work to others, she had to
go there in person.
Rowan still held Yuliana’s waist in tears and would not release her when she was about to leave home, albeit she
had tried to prepare Rowan a few days before the business trip mentally.
“Mommy, can you not go on the business trip?” Rowan begged. His eyes and nose were swollen, and his pitiful
appearance made Yuliana feel utterly sorry for her son.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuliana squatted down, kissed his nose and eyes, and consoled gently, “Mommy needs to go to work now. You have
to work when you grow up too, and you will also go on a business trip by then. At that time, Mommy will also wait
for you at home. Roe, Hailey is here to accompany you at home. Perhaps, Mommy can also ask Aunt Xandria to
come over and keep you company for these two days, okay?”
Even so, Rowan still kept shaking his head in refusal. “No Hailey, no Aunt Xandria, I just want Mommy.” She was on
the brink of missing the flight as the time was ticking. With no other options, Yuliana endured her broken heart and
handed Rowan to Hailey. Immediately, she hurried out to her destination with her luggage. in hand.
In panic, Rowan struggled and broke free from Hailey, then he wailed while he chased after Yuliana. Seeing that,
Hailey quickly followed up with Rowan as she was worried that he would trip.
A lengthy persuasion later, only then did Yuliana manage to get in the car and rush to the airport.
On the contrary, Hailey began to face trouble with Rowan.
Rowan had been crying non-stop as soon as he lost sight of Yuliana. He even asked Hailey to take him to his
mommy while attempting to drag Hailey out with him.
Seeing Rowan’s sobbing before her, Hailey felt sorry in her heart as she could not do anything to make him. feel
better. All of a sudden, she thought of Christopher. The last time Christopher visited them, both the father and son
had a good time. She started to consider the possibility of making Rowan stop his crying in Christopher’s presence.
While her thoughts progressed to this, Hailey wiped Rowan’s tears with a tissue and said, “My dear Roe, please stop
crying. If you continue crying, my heart will be broken. Why don’t I call and ask Mr. Coke to come over to play with
you?”
Despite hearing that, Rowan shook his head, he insisted while he sobbed. “No, I want to look for Mommy.”
“But, Mommy has to work. You should understand Mommy. If you keep crying, Mommy will be very worried about
Roe.” Hailey continued to comfort Rowan on the one hand and proceeded to dial Christopher on the other hand.
When Christopher received the call, he was at the Summit Club.
Summit Club had been established for several years. It was pretty popular in the earlier years and had even won
three championships in a row. Nonetheless, due to poor management in the past two years, many contestants
retired and quit, resulting in a sharp decline in the club’s popularity.
And since the former boss was not capable enough to continue the business, he passed the business to others.
Christopher was the one who took over the Summit Club,
He was having a meeting with the coach and contestants of the club when Hailey called. As he noticed the caller,
he motioned to hold the meeting, then walked out of the meeting room with his phone in hand.
“Hailey,” he greeted as he answered the call. Through the connected call, Christopher could hear Rowan’s wailing
in a raspy voice. Feeling concerned, he questioned, “What’s wrong with Roe?”
Hailey briefly explained to Christopher about the situation. Afterward, she asked expectantly, “Chris, do you have
time now? Can you come over to accompany Roe? I tried to coax him for a long time, but he is still crying. I’m
afraid that if he continues this, his body will not be able to take it.”
“Alright, I’ll be right there,” Christopher replied without any hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Christopher informed the club manager to make arrangements for the meeting. and
left the scene immediately.
Later on, when he arrived at the Champs Manor, he saw Rowan, who appeared to be in a sorry state. He was curled
up on the sofa; his eyes were swollen and reddened like a rabbit’s. With his little body trembling while he sobbed, he
was still chanting about wanting to look for Yuliana.
Seeing that, Christopher approached and picked Rowan up. “What’s wrong, Roe?”
“I want Mommy,” Rowan replied when he registered it was Christopher.
“Mommy is on a business trip.” Christopher pulled out a tissue to wipe his face. Following that, he taught, “Roe is a
boy, and a boy should be strong at heart.”
“I don’t want to be strong. I only want Mommy!” Hearing Christopher’s words, Rowan’s bawling became fiercer. He
immediately pushed Christopher’s hand away with all his might. At the same time, he rejected. Christopher by
wiping his tears and struggling to get out of Christopher’s arms.
That was not within Christopher’s expectation.
Learning that Christopher was not a good choice to help console Rowan, Hailey sighed, “Roe has never been
separated from Yuliana for so long. When Yuliana first started working, Roe also did not adapt to it. However,
knowing that, Yuliana would come back at noon to accompany Roe. It took Roe two or three months to get used to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat.”
Although she had been taking care of Rowan for the past few years, in fact, Yuliana was the one who took care of
every little thing about Rowan by herself. Later on, Yuliana got busy after one year of working, but she would still
find some time to accompany Rowan.
Hearing Hailey’s words, Christopher went silent for a while. Then he suggested, “Roe, I will take you to find Mommy,
okay?”
Dumbfounded, Hailey cast a disbelieving glance at Christopher.
Rowan looked at Christopher in confusion as he registered Christopher’s words. Gradually, he began to stop crying.
“Okay, I want to go now.”
On the other side, it was two o’clock in the afternoon when Yuliana arrived at Romdale.
The person in charge of Shenton Technologies arranged for a driver to pick her group up. First, they were brought
to the hotel for check-in. After a short rest, Yuliana and her assistant met the person in charge of Shenton
Technologies. Then, both of them were led to visit Shenton Technologies.
Before coming to Romdale, Yuliana had already learned Shenton Technologies in detail; she had even secretly sent
someone to go over and investigate it. Although it was somewhat different from the actual information she
obtained, the general information was still about the same.
At nightfall, the person in charge of Shenton Technologies arranged for their dinner. Both Yuliana and her assistant
were then sent back to the hotel after the hearty feast.
In the car, Yuliana sat silently while looking out the window to watch the beautiful night view of Romdale. All of a
sudden, she recalled the last time when she was here in Romdale.
With her thoughts in mind, she noticed that it was still early, and she did not want to return to the hotel yet.
So, she instructed the driver to stop on the roadside and informed her assistant, “You can head back to the hotel
first. I want to walk around.”
The assistant was a man, who was a few years older than Yuliana. He was the assistant picked by Craig for her
when she joined Glory Corporation back then. He was a reliable assistant in all aspects.
“Alright, Ms. Livingstone, be careful. Call me if you need anything,” the assistant advised.
Acknowledging his words, Yuliana nodded and proceeded to get out of the car.
Romdale’s July had heat waves gushing onto her face.
With her bag in her hand, she wandered slowly on the sidewalk, exploring the city bit by bit.
