Chapter 327 The Father Of Rowan
Yuliana and Caleb had been honest with each other since they first met. Yuliana knew about Caleb’s past. Similarly,
Caleb also was aware of Yuliana’s past. Moreover, Caleb must have seen Joyce occasionally because of his current
status, so he naturally knew about Yuliana’s relationship with Joyce.
“I wanted to look for you earlier since you went to the toilet for so long. I turned and saw you talking to Mrs. Solace,
so I didn’t interrupt,” said Caleb.
Yuliana knew that Caleb was explaining himself so she wouldn’t overthink the entire situation. However, the duo
didn’t need to explain these things to each other.
Yuliana said casually, “I ran into Joyce at the toilet earlier. I think she had dinner with someone over at the
restaurant, so we chatted briefly.”
Caleb hummed a response gently, and silence befell them again.
When they were about to arrive at Champs Manor, Caleb, who had been resting with his eyes closed, lifted his
eyelids and stared at the night view through the window momentarily.
Suddenly, he said, “Did you know Christopher was released from prison?”
Yuliana was slightly stunned. She looked at Caleb’s face, which was sometimes highlighted by the lights outside the
car and sometimes not. She replied, “I know.”
Just two months ago, new evidence surfaced in Scarlett’s case. The police relaunched the investigation, and after
many detailed and thorough inspections, it was confirmed that Christopher was wronged. The real killer was
arrested just before Christopher was released from prison. Half a month ago, Christopher was acquitted. This
incident caused a storm online, and a heated discussion immediately ensued. However, Christopher was not a
celebrity or public figure, so the matter died down online after a few days. Currently, the netizen’s attention had
already shifted entirely to another event.
“I’ve browsed through his case.” Caleb turned around and gazed at Yuliana. “He was indeed wronged. The relevant
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdepartments will also compensate him for his suffering.”
Yuliana found the situation hilarious when she heard Caleb’s words. “Mr. Jones, why are you telling me this?” Caleb
smiled. “I thought you wanted to know.”
Yuliana pursed her lips slightly.
Seeing her reaction, Caleb added, “No matter what happened, he is Rowan’s father.”
Mixed emotions appeared on Yuliana’s face. She kept silent for two seconds before her face relaxed, smiling.
“You’re right. He will always be Rowan’s father.”
As the evening breeze blew at Champs Manor, Caleb alighted from the car with Yuliana. They stood face to face
with a nearly three feet distance between them.
Yuliana voiced, “Thank you for driving me back. Please ask the driver to drive carefully while you go home.”
Caleb nodded. He stared at Yuliana silently for a while before stepping toward her.
Instantly, the gap between them closed.
Yuliana was stunned, and she instinctively wanted to step backward.
Caleb gently pressed her shoulder and said, “Don’t move.”
Yuliana blinked as she met his eyes. She followed his words, not moving away. Caleb leaned in and kissed her cheek.
From a distance, there was an image of a tall man shrouding a gorgeous woman in darkness as they kissed
goodbye.
Soon, Caleb backed away in a gentry manner. He brushed his lips with his fingers. “Have a good rest. I will be a little
busy recently, so I may not be able to meet you. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay. I’m heading in now,” said Yuliana.
Caleb raised his hand and motioned for Yuliana to enter, but he didn’t leave immediately. He watched as Yuliana
entered the house. Then, he looked in a particular direction for two seconds before turning around, getting into the
car, and instructing the driver to send him home.
Hailey welcomed Yuliana when the latter stepped through the door. “Yuliana, you’re home.” Hailey yawned and took
Yuliana’s bag.
“Did Roe fall asleep?”
“He was fussing around earlier, so he had just fallen asleep.”
“Thanks for the help, Hailey.”
“Please don’t be so polite with me.”
Yuliana smiled and looked at Hailey’s sleepy face. She changed her shoes, and said, “You don’t have to wait up for
me. You can go to bed early if you’re sleepy.”
Hailey smiled. “I want you to try some desserts that I made, and I couldn’t sleep without knowing what you think
about them! Wait here! I’ll bring them to you!”
With that, she placed Yuliana’s bag nicely and hurried to the kitchen.
Yuliana had been working all day. Even though she was feeling fine outside, the woman began to feel lazy when she
arrived home. She relaxed her mind and body as she lay on the couch lazily, taking her phone and scrolling through
Instagram.
The latest Instagram posting she saw was uploaded by Raymond two minutes ago.
The caption consisted of only a full stop and two randomly taken photos. The photos showed various wine glasses
and bottles on the coffee table. The dazzling light shined on these alcohols, radiating a sense of depravity.
A hand was visible in the corner of the photos. That hand was reaching out to get the glass on the coffee table, and
then it was captured by the camera.
Yuliana stared at the hand in the images for a while.
Suddenly, Hailey stated, “Yuliana, try these!”
Yuliana returned to her senses, closed WhatsApp, threw her phone aside, and immediately took the dessert from
Hailey. “Thank you, Hailey.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, Yuliana scooped a spoonful of the dessert and tried it out. It was cooling, with a sweetness that didn’t
overpower her taste bud. The addition of coconut juice to the dessert gave it a refreshing sensation. Yuliana’s eyes
lit up immediately, and she gave Hailey a thumbs-up. “It’s delicious.”
Hailey was thrilled to hear Yuliana’s compliment. She said. “It’s hot now, and matcha does a great job at cooling the
body off. Initially, I wanted to make matcha ice dessert, but too much cold food can harm the body. And so, in the
end, I decided to put this dessert into the fridge, so that it would be cooling to taste. Besides, I’ve even added
freshly-squeezed coconut juice into it.”
After Yuliana finished eating, Hailey washed the bowl in the kitchen.
She sat on the couch for a while more. She had wanted to go upstairs to wash up and rest when Hailey walked out
of the kitchen, stopping her with some hesitation.
Yuliana asked, “Hailey, what’s the matter?”
Hailey looked a little embarrassed. She smiled stiffly. “Yuliana, I noticed someone sending you home just now. Who
is…”
Yuliana explained, “His name is Caleb Jones. I’ll introduce him to you when the chance arises next time.”
After saying that, Yuliana turned and headed upstairs.
Hailey stood in place for a long time after hearing Yuliana’s words. Then, she came back to her senses, sighing.
Yuliana went to Rowan’s room first after arriving upstairs,
There were all kinds of toys strewn all over the room. Yuliana sighed as she returned the toys to their respective
places before she walked over to Rowan’s bed.
Rowan was asleep with his mouth open. The blanket that was supposed to cover his stomach got kicked aside while
he lifted his butt mid-air.
Yuliana folded the blanket and covered them over Rowan’s abdomen. Then she sat by the bed and stared at Rowan
for a while before returning to her room.
On the weekend, Yuliana promised Rowan to take him to the arcade.
