Chapter 413 Daddy Wesley Is Not My Daddy

After talking to Sabrina on the phone, Yuliana felt a slight heaviness in her heart.

She stayed for a few minutes on the side of the road before driving back to Champs Manor.

As she entered, she heard the voice of a child laughing uncontrollably and shrilly. “Daddy Wesley, I was wrong. Stop chasing me. I can’t run anymore!”

“Draw on my face, huh? I’m going to punish you!”

“Hahaha!”

Yuliana changed her shoes and went in, immediately seeing Wesley holding Rowan in his arms and tickling him non-stop. Rowan was laughing so hard that he was out of breath.

Seeing this scene, Yuliana felt warmth spreading through her heart.

Before Rowan was born, she had imagined such a scene. She had imagined a family of three living a simple and cozy life together. She had thought it would be an easy thing to accomplish. Only later did she realize that the dream was far out of her reach.

Now, however, she suddenly realized that it was not so out of her reach after all. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

It merely involved a different man.

Wesley looked up and noticed Yuliana. He stopped tickling Rowan and said, “You’re back.”

Yuliana nodded and walked to them. “When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Mom!” Rowan broke free from Wesley. He immediately got up and ran to Yuliana, who caught him and picked him up. Looking at the watercolor pen marks that had stained his face accidentally, she wiped the marks with her fingers gently and asked, “Did you draw the turtle on Mr. Duncan’s face?”

Rowan’s cheeks were flushed as he smiled and nodded. He looked at Wesley with sparkling eyes, then giggled and corrected, “Mom, he’s not Mr. Duncan but Daddy Wesley.”

Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She looked at the tall man standing in front of her and smiled calmly. “Yes, that was my mistake.”

Then she stared at Wesley’s face and said, “I have to say, Roe’s drawing is pretty good. When he starts school, I might even sign him up for extra-curricular classes.”

Wesley looked at her intensely and didn’t answer.

Yuliana’s ears felt a little hot. She subconsciously raised her hand and wanted to wipe off the turtle that had been drawn with a blue watercolor pen on Wesley’s face. However, it covered too large of a surface and could not be wiped away in just a short while.

When she was about to withdraw her hand and let Wesley wash his face himself, he grabbed her hand.

Yuliana shot a glance at Rowan in her arms, struggled slightly to free her hand, and said in a calm tone, “I can’t manage to wipe it off. You should wash it off yourself.”

Rowan looked with a blank expression at Yuliana and Wesley, who were holding hands, then giggled and placed his hand over theirs. “I want to hold hands too!”

Wesley pinched Rowan’s chubby face and coaxed, “Roe, close your eyes.”

“Why do you want me to close my eyes?”

Wesley said seriously, “Because I’m going to do something bad, and children shouldn’t watch.”

Hearing this, Yuliana could not help but glare at him.

Rowan, who was having a good time, rolled his eyes and agreed, “Okay.”

He even reached out to cover his eyes.

Yuliana looked at his movements and couldn’t help laughing in amusement. She thought, “My son is so easy to fool. He’d do whatever others say. He might even be as obedient to his kidnappers.”

As she was thinking, the man in front of her leaned over. Before Yuliana could react, he had pinched her chin lightly and immediately pressed his warm lips against hers.

At this time, the little boy, who was covering his eyes, secretly spread his fingers. The corners of his lips that

were lifted instantly fell, and he reached out and pushed Wesley hard.

“Daddy Wesley, you can’t kiss Mom!” He frowned, looking serious.

Of course, Rowan was hardly strong enough to push Wesley away from Yuliana. However, the moment Wesley heard the child’s voice, he automatically let go of Yuliana.

Looking at Rowan’s expression of disapproval, he was stunned and asked, “Why?”

“You just mustn’t!” Rowan didn’t know how to answer. He frowned and glared at Wesley. He thought quickly. and as if he had just thought of something, he immediately added, “My teacher, Mr. Henderson, said that boys can’t simply kiss girls.”

Then Rowan wrapped his arms around Yuliana’s neck tightly and looked at Wesley vigilantly as if he was afraid that she would be taken away from him.

Yuliana had never expected Rowan to react this way.

She thought that Rowan liked Wesley very much and was very clingy to him. By right, he shouldn’t be so resistant toward Wesley.

However, more than anything else, her heart was filled with regret.

“I shouldn’t have been too intimate with Wesley in front of Rowan,” she thought.

Then Yuliana said, “Go wash your face first. I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes.”

Wesley nodded.

Yuliana went upstairs, carrying Rowan in her arms. She put Rowan on the couch and said, “I’m changing my clothes. You sit here for a while. I want to have a talk with you later, is that okay?”

Rowan looked at Yuliana. He had an uneasy expression on his face but still nodded in response.

Yuliana went to the walk-in wardrobe and changed into a casual cotton dress with a loose cutting. When she came out, Rowan was still sitting there obediently with his head lowered, looking as if he had done something wrong.

Yuliana walked over and carried him onto her lap as she sat down. She asked in a gentle voice, “Why did you lose your temper just now?”

Rowan lowered his head and didn’t answer.

Yuliana asked again, “Is it because Daddy Wesley kissed me?”

Rowan hesitated and nodded.

Yuliana was silent for two seconds, and then she stroked Rowan’s soft hair gently with her hand. “Don’t you like Daddy Wesley very much?”

“I like Daddy Wesley.” Rowan nodded. Then, with his thin brows furrowed, he looked at Yuliana seriously and said, “B-But… Daddy Wesley is not my daddy. Only Daddy can kiss you.”

After all, only Jasper’s father could kiss Jasper’s mother.

“It’s not like that.” Yuliana knew that at Rowan’s age, it was impossible to make him understand the adult world. She tried as well as she could to explain in a way that Rowan could understand. “Daddy and I have split up. I’m now with Daddy Wesley, so Daddy Wesley can kiss me.”

Rowan pouted, and his eyes turned red instantly. “Why did you split up?”

In fact, after Rowan came to know about the role of a father, the character had become clearer and clearer in Rowan’s mind.

In the beginning, he desired a father, and later, he felt angry because of his father’s absence. Now, a part of him was very angry with his father, but in his subconscious, he still hoped to experience the kind of paternal love that other children experienced.

Yuliana couldn’t explain too much to him and only held Rowan in her arms.

At night, Yuliana saw Wesley off.

Wesley suggested, “Let’s take Roe out to have some fun tomorrow. Doesn’t he like to go to the arcade?”

Rowan had been clinging to Yuliana all night, not giving Wesley any chance.

He didn’t want Wesley to play with him as usual either.

Wesley still wanted to fix his relationship with Rowan, and he didn’t want Yuliana to be put in a tough spot between him and Rowan.

“Not tomorrow” Yuliana was a little apologetic as she said, “I’m going to Yrinas with Roe tomorrow.”

Wesley was stunned and asked, “To see your aunt?”

Yuliana nodded and hesitated before saying. “Although I haven’t told you before, you should know that I have been investigating the cause of my father’s death for more than a year now. Aunt Sabrina is waiting for an answer too. Till now, my father’s ashes have not been buried yet.”
