Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 329 Mr. Coke

Yuliana quickly set aside the things in her hand and crouched down in front of Rowan. She reached out to wipe off Rowan’s tears. However, the latter rebuffed her efforts and turned his face away, displaying his resentment. With a pout and his downturned lips, Rowan looked at Yuliana with red, tearful eyes, feeling upset and wronged.

Yuliana knew that Rowan was angry.

She recalled an incident before when Rowan brought his favorite toy robot downstairs, and it was accidentally broken by one of his friends. It was the same disappointed expression as it was before. Rowan would often throw small tantrums but rarely got truly angry.

Yuliana extended her arm and made Rowan look her in the face. Despite Rowan resisting her, she gently wiped his tears and said, “Mommy is sorry. I was wrong to yell at you earlier. Please don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Rowan’s cheeks remained puffed, but his gaze softened. He stared at Yuliana for a while, then threw himself into Yuliana’s arms, wrapped his arms around her neck, and said in a nasal voice, “Okay.”

Two seconds later, he kissed Yuliana’s face again and said, “I love you, Mommy.”

Yuliana’s heart melted at Rowan’s words. She kissed his forehead and said with a gentle smile, “Mommy loves you too. Stop crying?”

Rowan pulled away from Yuliana’s embrace and nodded as he said, “Yes!”

Yuliana said, “Can you walk on your own? I have to carry things.”

“Okay,” Rowan replied.

Yuliana got up, picked up the things that were placed aside, and took Rowan to the parking area. But after a few steps in, Rowan tugged on Yuliana’s clothes and shouted from behind, “Mommy, it’s Mr. Coke.” Startled, Yuliana turned around to see a man and a woman walking in their direction.

The man was Christopher, who had helped Rowan to reach the can of Coke at the supermarket earlier. The woman was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, showing only her beautiful eyes. She was well-dressed and had a slender figure.

Yuliana glanced at them for a brief second and was ready to leave with Rowan. However, Christopher turned to look in their direction. Before Yuliana could withdraw her gaze, their eyes met. Unflinchingly, she averted her gaze. “Be careful as you cross the road.”
