Chapter 437 Sighing
Yuliana did not know what Christopher and Joaquin were talking about. Soon, Joaquin left with his men. Before leaving, he told Yuliana that she could go to the Lusterg Police Station the following Wednesday to get the paperwork done to claim Sabrina’s body.
There were three days to go before the following Wednesday.
After confirming the date to claim Sabrina’s body, Yuliana started preparing the paperwork and contacted the funeral parlor. That Wednesday, Yuliana brought Sabrina back to the house for a night before sending it to the funeral parlor the next day.
Before bringing Sabrina home, Yuliana had asked the mortician to apply makeup on Sabrina to cover up the scars on her body. Yuliana believed that Sabrina would want Jacob’s last impression of her to be complete and beautiful.
Finally, Yuliana buried Sabrina with Damian according to Sabrina’s wishes.
After settling Sabrina’s funeral, Yuliana went to the Lusterg Police Station to see Joaquin. The next day, she brought Jacob back to Juxshire.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of September.
Yuliana wanted Jacob to stay outside the school. She expressed her wish for him to live with them.
Jacob refused, saying that it was more convenient to stay in school. He promised to go over and stay with Yuliana for a night every weekend.
Yuliana rested at home for two days after returning. Soon, her life returned to normal again.
The only difference now was that someone would always appear in her office after work every day. He stuck to her like velcro and would not leave her alone.
He would bring Rowan along with him.
With Rowan around, Yuliana had to restrain herself. She did not want to say anything to Christopher in front

At this moment, Yuliana was engrossed in her work. Both adult and child were sitting on the couch, hatching a plan.
After a while, the little one jumped off the couch and trotted to Yuliana’s desk. He climbed up the stool and looked at Yuliana pitifully. “Mommy, when can you get off work? Roe is hungry. Let’s go for dinner, okay?” Yuliana stopped her work and looked at Rowan. She then turned to look at Christopher sitting on the couch. Christopher put his elbow on the armrest of the couch and rested his head on his hand. He looked at her calmly.
Yuliana withdrew her gaze and smiled at Rowan. “Give Mommy another five minutes, okay?” Hearing this, Rowan cheered up immediately. “Okay, Mommy.”
He quickly jumped off the stool and ran to Christopher to claim the credit. They were very close to each other. No one could hear what they were talking about.
By the time they got out of the company, it was dark.
Christopher sent both of them home in his car.
They heard voices in the living room as they entered the house.
Yuliana paused for a while. Rowan had just changed his shoes and had already dashed into the house.
“Mr. Duncan, why are you here?”
Ever since Rowan saw Wesley kiss Yuliana, he stopped calling the latter Daddy Wesley. Instead, he now addressed him as Mr. Duncan like before.
Yuliana had changed her shoes and was about to get into the house.
Christopher behind her suddenly pulled her around, and she bumped into his arms.
Yuliana frowned and looked at him angrily. “Let go of me.”
Although they saw each other aimost every day during this period, Yuliana would ignore him and give him the
cold shoulder.
Christopher knew that Yuliana was in a bad mood after Sabrina’s death, so he behaved himself and did not do anything to her.
If it were not for Wesley, he could take his time to get into Yuliana’s good books.
Christopher refused to let go of Yuliana. Instead, his arm gripped her waist tightly. He pressed her against the closet at the entrance. He lowered his head and inched closer toward her. He then looked toward the living room and whispered, “Wesley is here.”
Yuliana was not bothered by Christopher’s remark. She looked coldly at him. Her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
Christopher’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Yuliana’s smile. He recalled what happened that night and instinctively stared at her lips. Shortly after, he came back. to his senses and started kissing her.
He paused for a while when he felt Yuliana’s hand against his chest. She was trying to push him away. Christopher grabbed hold of her hand and pressed it on his chest. His mouth crushed her lips, sucking and biting them hungrily.
Yuliana grew angrier when she felt pain and numbness in her lips. She raised her foot in an attempt to kick him. However, not only did she not manage to kick him, but her leg accidentally knocked down the ornament on the entrance counter. The object fell to the ground with a loud clang.
Hearing the noise, the people in the living room looked in the direction of the door.
Wesley’s expression darkened slightly. He stood up and said, “I’ll go and take a look.”
Hailey was about to get up and follow after him. After some hesitation, she stopped and shook her head, sighing.
“Granny Hailey, why are you sighing?” Rowan was eating some grapes from his hand.
Hailey carried him to her lap and said with a smile, “Roe is too young. You won’t understand even if Granny Hailey explains to you.”
“I understand!” Rowan climbed onto the couch and said in Hailey’s ear, “Granny Hailey sighs because both Mr. Duncan and Mr. Coke like Mommy. Am I right?”
Hailey was taken by surprise. “How do you know that?”
Rowan frowned as he bit into a grape. “There are two boys in my class who like the same girl. They both wanted to play with that girl and started fighting. Ms. Nettles would then sigh like how Granny Hailey is sighing now.”
Rowan shook his head and sighed too.
His imitation of Hailey was perfect.
“That’s how things are.”
Hailey was amused by Rowan and broke into a smile. “What about Roe? Is there any girl you want to play with?”
Rowan frowned and thought for a while. He shook his head and said woefully, “No, but they all like to play with me.”
Meanwhile, as soon as Wesley walked to the corner of the living room leading to the entrance, he stopped.
His muscles twitched when he saw what was happening.
At that moment, Yuliana had just wriggled her hand free from Christopher’s grasp. She gave him a resounding slap on the face.
Christopher finally stopped grabbing her.
He turned and saw Wesley standing at a distance. His lips then curled into a smile.
Memories of that night flashed across Christopher’s mind.
Yuliana forced the words out through her gritted teeth. “Get out!”
Christopher retracted his gaze and used his hand to wipe the corners of Yuliana’s mouth as if nothing had happened. He asked suggestively, “Is my bite painful? I’ll be gentler the next time.*
Yuliana was trembling with anger.
Christopher then placed his arm around Yuliana’s shoulder as he turned to Wesley, grinning. “Is Mr. Duncan leaving?”
Shocked, Yuliana looked up and saw Wesley standing there with a restrained expression.
She did not know how long he had been standing there.
Yuliana’s anger towards Christopher slowly dissipated as she calmed down. Finally, her face was expressionless.
She asked, “When did you come?
Wesley replied, “I’ve been here for half an hour”
Yuliana nodded slightly. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? I could have come back earlier” Wesley was silent for a short while. “I heard that something happened to Mrs Livingstone.”
