Chapter 374 Do You Trust Me?
Yuliana was stunned.
She thought Rowan had forgotten about it, but he still remembered it.
She was silent for two seconds and asked, “Do you want Mr. Coke to be your daddy?”
Rowan shook his head, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said in a wailing tone, “No! No! I don’t want!”
Yuliana panicked, quickly lifted the quilt, picked up Rowan, and patted his back to coax him.
“Okay, Rowan, you don’t want it. Don’t cry.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After she coaxed him for a while, Rowan finally calmed down. He leaned quietly against Yuliana’s chest with reddened eyes and tears on his eyelashes.
Yuliana wiped his tears with a tissue and asked, “Don’t you like Mr. Coke very much, Rowan?”
Rowan nodded, “Yes, I do.”
Yuliana asked softly, “Since you like Mr. Coke, isn’t it a good thing that Mr. Coke is your daddy?”
“No!” Rowan shouted, frowned, and pouted, “Mr. Coke is Mr. Coke, and daddy is daddy. I don’t like Daddy!”
“Don’t you want a daddy?”
That was why Wesley became his godfather.
Rowan curled his mouth and was about to cry again, “Daddy doesn’t want me, so I don’t want him too.”
Yuliana was stunned again, “Who told you that Daddy doesn’t want you?”
Jasper said that every child has a daddy. It’s because Daddy has other children that he doesn’t want Mommy and me.” Jasper had secretly told him when he played with Jasper this afternoon
After hearing it, he was so angry that he wanted to hit Jasper, but Yuliana said that children should not hit others.
Therefore, he didn’t want to play with Jasper and wanted Hailey to take him home.
Jasper also said that he heard Hannah tell Donald that Christopher was Rowan’s father because Rowan looked the same as Christopher.
However, Rowan did not think they looked the same as his hair was curly, while Christopher’s hair was straight.
After saying that, Rowan lay in Yuliana’s arms and cried sadly.
Yuliana had never known that his father was so important to Rowan. He had never had a “daddy” in his life for as long as he could remember.
She had thought to tell Rowan when he was a little older.
But now, Yuliana wondered whether what she did was right.
It was already past eleven o’clock when Rowan fell asleep.
After she came out of Rowan’s room, Yuliana was about to go back to her room. When she arrived at the door, she suddenly stopped pushing the door and turned to head to the study room.
After entering the study room, she didn’t turn on the light.
She walked to the window with the light from outside and stared in the direction of the mansion’s gate for a
moment.
It was quiet, as usual.
Yuliana felt relieved. She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went out quietly.
On the way to Wise Village, Yuliana was very cautious.
She had been paying attention to whether there were any suspicious vehicles following her. She had changed. the route several times, made a big detour, and made several turns. When she arrived at Wise Village, it was almost one o’clock.
There was no dedicated parking area here, so at night, there were many cars parked on both sides of the
road.
Yuliana drove a long distance before she found a parking area.
After getting out of the car, she stopped in front of the door and looked around before lowering the baseball cap on her head and walking into the alley.
There was not much lighting in the alley. Only at the intersection of the alleys was lighting installed on the roof of the bungalow. But each alley was long, and the lighting was over 60 feet away from each other. There was not enough lighting in the alley.
And the bungalows looked the same. It was fine in the daytime, but it was easy for one to lose the sense of direction at night.
Yuliana wandered around for a long time before she found the bungalow rented by Terrence, and then she followed the route she left in the afternoon and arrived at the place where the memory card was hidden.
The wall gap was so narrow that she couldn’t take the card out with her fingers. Yuliana took out a bank card from her purse and used it to take the memory card out of the gap.
After holding the memory card in her palm, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Without delay, she got the memory card and left quickly.
Just as she completely put down her guard and walked in the direction of her car and was about to drive home, she suddenly saw a familiar figure leaning against the car, with a flicker of fire near his mouth, illuminating his face.
Yuliana stopped in her tracks slowly. Thinking of the scene where Terrence was brought into the car at noon, she wanted to turn around and run away.
In an instant, she realized that there was nowhere she could go.
But she couldn’t give him the thing in her hand.
She was in a dilemma.
The man leaning in front of the car seemed to lose his patience. He stood up straight, put out the cigarette, and walked slowly towards her as if a hunter was watching the prey that fell into the trap.
Yuliana’s throat was a little tight, and she subconsciously grasped the small shoulder bag on her body.
Seeing that the person was about to reach her, Yuliana panicked. Her body quickly reacted, and she chose to run away.
“Why are you running?”
A man’s sneer came from behind.
Yuliana completely lost it. She ran for a while before she suddenly slowed down.
She thought, “It’s him. Why am I running away? Terrence’s still in his hands. Besides, if he wanted to do something to me, he wouldn’t have let me and Wesley go at noon and waited here alone now to block me.”
Thinking about this, Yuliana calmed down a little and turned to look at the man who was over 30 feet away.
They looked at each other for a few seconds. Christopher asked, “Are you coming over or am I going over?”
Yuliana pursed her lips and walked towards him. She stopped when they were about three feet apart.
She looked at the man in front of her coldly and asked, “What did you do to Terrence?”
Christopher met her gaze and said calmly, “That depends on you.”
Yuliana frowned and said nothing.
She knew what Christopher meant. He wanted her to trade that memory card for Terrence’s life.
Christopher waited for a moment. Seeing that Yuliana had been silent, he leaned against the van and said, “Yuliana, do you know what would happen if I exposed you in front of those people this afternoon?”
Hearing this, Yuliana laughed ironically, “Should I thank you?”
“I don’t need your thanks.” Christopher stared at Yuliana for a while and continued, “I hope you can trust me. Yuliana, do you trust me?”
Yuliana looked into his eyes, and a lot of scenes flashed in her mind, which made her hesitant.
Trust Me
Christopher said, “Give me the stuff. I promise Terrence will live. If you take those things, Terrence will be on the verge of death. And if he can’t bear it and rats you out, you and Rowan will only meet the same fate as he will.”
Yuliana knew that Christopher was telling the truth.
Once those people knew that Yuliana was investigating them secretly and had a lot of dirt on them, they would choose to silence her.
Suddenly, she found it hard to breathe. “So, will you treat me and Rowan as you did to Terrence today?”
