Chapter 412 Disappointed?

Wesley sat on the sofa with his legs stretched out and crossed before him. He leaned back against the armrest of the couch, clicked into his WhatsApp, and texted Yuliana: [Are you asleep?]

Yuliana had gotten off the plane at 10.40 p.m. and left the airport at around 11.00 p.m.

She texted Wesley as soon as she got into the car he had arranged for her.

However, Wesley was busy handling Christopher’s hospital admission at the time and did not respond to Yuliana’s text immediately.

When Christopher had come out of surgery, Wesley left to tend to matters of his own and left Blake to keep an eye on things in the hospital.

In short, for the most part of the evening, Wesley did not have a quiet moment to himself to reply to Yuliana’s text, until now.

On Yuliana’s end, she was in the shower when Wesley texted her back.

The first thing she did when she got home was go into Rowan’s bedroom to check on the little one, but he unexpectedly woke up when she sat down by his bedside.

After that, he clung to Yuliana and refused to let go.

She spent nearly an hour coaxing Rowan back to sleep. After that, only then did she retreat to her bedroom.

By the time she was done with her shower, it was nearly 2.00 a.m.

Her phone beeped twice before she noticed Wesley had texted her back.

More to the point, his first text had been 20 minutes ago. He had asked her if she was asleep, but when he did not get a response, he followed up with a cursory: [Goodnight.]

At once, Yuliana picked up her phone and called him.

He answered within the first ring.

“I thought you were asleep.” Wesley’s low voice filled her ear.

“I was in the shower, and I had no idea you texted me. Thank goodness you texted me goodnight, otherwise, you’d have to wait until morning before actually getting a reply from me,” Yuliana explained gently. Then, she asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“I can’t sleep,” Wesley said straightforwardly. “I miss you so much that I can’t sleep at all.”

Yuliana’s breath hitched when she heard this. Warmth and heartache filled her, and her voice was softer than before as she pointed out, “Then hurry up and come back.”

Wesley smiled and asked coyly, “Do you miss me?”
