Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 326 Acquaintance

In the past, Yuliana had been a victim of Callie imposing her will on her. But now, as her perspective changed after

Yuliana became a mother, she realized she was acting just like Callie. Yuliana thought, “Maybe this is something that

a woman will only experience after they become a mother!”

Yuliana leaned against the chair, relaxing before asking gently, “Did you have a good study session with Mr.

Henderson today?”

“Yes!” Rowan replied cheerfully, “Mommy, I had been a really good boy, and Mr. Henderson complimented me!”

“Roe, you’re awesome!”

Hearing this, Rowan tried to push his luck. “Well… Mommy, I want a reward!”

Yuliana knew her son well, so she immediately guessed the reward that Rowan wanted.

“Okay.” Yuliana smiled. “Let’s head out and have some fun this weekend.”

Yuliana was always willing to oblige to Rowan’s request as long as it was within the reasonable range. Besides, the

woman was aware that she had been occupied lately and that her time spent accompanying Rowan had been

short.

There was a hopping sound on the other of the phone before Rowan cheered, “Thanks, Mommy!”

“I have something to do at night, so I’ll be home late. Be obedient and listen to Granny Hailey’s words. Sleep early,

okay? Can you promise Mommy that you will do that?” said Yuliana.

Rowan became silent upon hearing Yuliana’s words. He was sullen as he stayed quiet.

Yuliana soothed him for a while before hanging up hurriedly when her other phone rang.

She picked up the ringing phone.

“Yuliana, I’m downstairs.”

“Sorry, I was on the phone with my son just now, so I’ve lost track of time. Please hold on. I’ll be right down,” said

Yuliana.

The man chuckled gently. “It’s okay. We are in no rush. Take your time.”

Yuliana hummed before hanging up the phone. Then, she packed her things and went downstairs.

When the woman arrived, a black car slowly glided forward and stopped before Yuliana.

The driver got out of the car hurriedly after it stopped still. He opened the back door for Yuliana. “Please get in, Ms.

Livingstone.”

Yuliana nodded at the driver before bending over and getting into the car. The man who was in it had a tablet in his

hands. He was reading something on it. Yuliana glanced at it and saw that it was crammed full of writing. On top of

the article was a title in a huge, red color font.

After Yuliana sat down, the man put away the tablet. “Sorry. My flight was delayed.”

Initially, Yuliana and the man, Caleb Jones, were supposed to meet for dinner at 7 p.m. However, since Caleb had

been in Jeahron for conferences lately, he was caught on a delayed flight back to their city because of bad weather.

Since the flight was pushed back a few hours, the duo could only push back their plan to eat together.

Yuliana smiled as she replied considerately, “It’s okay. I have something to get done earlier too. You are right on

time.”

With that, Yuliana and Caleb stayed silent on their way to the restaurant.

Yuliana and Caleb were introduced to each other by their acquaintances, and they had been dating for a while. As

Caleb was a 33-year-old divorcee with a five-year-old daughter in tow, while Yuliana was a divorced woman with a

son, they were a perfect match in the eyes of the outsiders.

After they arrived at the restaurant, Caleb ordered food that Yuliana was into in a gentlemanly manner. He had

already enquired about Yuliana’s taste in food since they first ate together and remembered what she liked or

disliked. Since then, Caleb would accurately order Yuliana’s favorite food without needing her to say anything.

Yuliana felt that his understanding of her taste in food had saved her much trouble.

While they were eating. Caleb asked, “I heard that you are looking for a kindergarten recently?” Yuliana nodded.

“It’s time for Roe to join a kindergarten during the second half of the year, so I’m a bit

anxious.”

News about kindergartens had often made their rounds on the internet. With the added factor of the reputation of

the kindergarten, the location, and other factors, choosing a suitable school was a trouble for Yuliana. Besides, the

better the kindergarten was, the higher the requirement for a kid to enter it. Nowadays, many children have been

carefully nurtured by their parents since they were born, and they have many special skills. Yet, in Rowan’s case,

Yuliana had only started arranging basic skills courses for him since the beginning of this year. Before this, she

always thought that a kid shouldn’t be pressured too much or be hasty in helping them to grow. Yet, seeing Rowan’s

peers excel in everything they do, Yuliana couldn’t help but worry about Rowan’s situation.

Caleb asked, “Do you need any help?”

“No.” Yuliana refused without hesitation. She paused and then added, “I’ll look around. I will ask you for help. if I

can’t solve this matter alone.”

“Okay.”

With that, the two of them finished their meal quietly without starting another topic.

Yuliana went to the bathroom before they left the restaurant. While she stood before the basin to wash her hands,

the cubicle door behind her unlocked. The woman who came out noticed Yuliana. She paused for a moment before

walking over to the basin beside Yuliana. The woman put her hand below the sensor faucet and let the water wet

her hands.

Yuliana raised her eyes and glanced at the person beside her through the mirror’s reflection. She paused slightly

before calling out, “Joyce.”

Joyce raised her head and stared at Yuliana through the mirror’s reflection when she heard the latter greeting her.

“Just had your dinner here?”

Yuliana hummed lightly.

Both of them didn’t speak anymore. After washing their hands, Yuliana stepped out of the bathroom first. Joyce

walked slowly behind her until they reached the entrance to the dining hall. It was then that Joyce. voiced, “Yuliana!”

Yuliana halted in her steps and paused for a while. Then, she turned to Joyce and smiled casually. “Anything else,

Joyce?”

Joyce walked over to Yuliana slowly with her bag in hand. She gazed at Yuliana intently before saying, “Do you know

Christopher’s jail term has ended?”

Yuliana’s expression remained unchanged. She remarked nonchalantly. “Yes, I heard.”

Hearing this, Joyce suddenly couldn’t say speak further. She thought, “It had been nearly three years. Even Juxshire

had undergone dramatic changes, let alone humans. I still have hope, though.”

Joyce gave a wry laugh. “I’m sorry to bother you.”

Yuliana’s expression changed slightly. “Joyce, please don’t say that. I know you are just being kind, but… some

things should remain in the past. Whether it’s Christopher or me, we both have already moved on.” “Yuliana.” Joyce

frowned, wanting to say more. But Yuliana immediately interrupted her, “My apologies, Joyce. Someone is waiting

for me. Why don’t we arrange another meet-up?”

Joyce knew she couldn’t continue forcing the topic to go on when she heard this. The woman forced a smile.

“Okay.”

Yuliana nodded at Joyce and turned to walk toward the door.

Joyce was curious about where Yuliana was heading, so she stood there and watched from a distance. Joyce

observed as Yuliana strolled over to a man in a deep-grey suit. Yuliana said something to Caleb, and he turned

sideways, smiling at her.

Then, Yuliana linked her arm with Caleb, and they left the venue together.

Yuliana looked out of the window absent-mindedly after getting into the car.

Caleb looked at her. “Did you meet someone you know?”

Yuliana was stunned. “You saw us talking?”
