Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Leave

Both of them did not like to speak when eating, and they did not eat fast. However, Yuliana’s appetite was much smaller than Christopher’s, so she was the first to finish eating.

She had ordered two portions of seafood pasta and four portions of side orders. She only ate one-third of the seafood pasta and didn’t eat much of the side orders.

After eating. Yuliana curled up on the couch and looked at messages on her phone. She looked at Christopher, who was still eating, from time to time.

This feeling was extremely strange. It was as if they had lived together for a long time and formed a tacit understanding. They were still inexplicably intimate, even if they didn’t say a word.

But strictly speaking, it was the first time she and Christopher officially had dinner alone.

As soon as Yuliana withdrew her gaze, she heard Christopher ask, “Are you still eating this?”

She looked at the remaining half bowl of seafood pasta.

“I’m done eating.”

Christopher glanced at her. “You have a really small appetite. You’re only eating this little?”

As he said this, he took the remaining half of the seafood pasta that was left. Christopher chewed the salad slowly, then scooped the seafood pasta with a spoon and ate it.

Yuliana felt this was strange and reminded, “I’ve eaten that.”

“So?” Christopher looked at her. “Why can’t I eat what you’ve eaten? Why didn’t you say anything when I ate your saliva just now?”

Yuliana was rendered speechless and mused, “Fine, you win!”

At last, Christopher ate all of the seafood pasta she left over as well as the side orders. He placed all the plastic boxes back in the takeout bag and wiped the table clean with tissues.

Yuliana observed imperceptibly. She realized that although Christopher had a bad temper, he still had some etiquette engraved in his bones.

After cleaning up, Christopher sat down lazily next to Yuliana. He stretched out his arm and rested it on the backrest behind her. He glanced at Yuliana from the corner of his eyes and cleared his throat. He asked, “What are you looking at?”

Yuliana moved to the side of the couch. “I’m sending replies to my students’ parents.”

Christopher frowned slightly. “You’re still replying to them even after work hours?”

Yuliana responded, “You don’t reply to messages after work hours?”

Seeing Yuliana’s professionalism, a trace of doubt rose in Christopher’s heart. He inquired, “Are teachers’ salaries high?”

He had heard someone say that teachers’ salaries were quite low, especially for public schools. Yuliana thought for a while before replying, “It’s not bad.”

The range depended on the industry and position. Her salary, compared to others in Juxshire, was not high, but it was likely to be better in comparison to many teachers and other positions in other places.

Otherwise, why were there so many people who desperately took the test every year?

Yuliana didn’t know why they started talking about this. After replying to the last message, she checked the time and realized it was very late.

She turned to Christopher and stated, “I’m going to sleep. Shouldn’t you leave?”

Christopher lowered his eyelids and looked at her. “Are you not going to let your future husband stay for the night?”

Yuliana’s irritation faded away because of his words. After a while, she got off the couch and put on her slippers. As Yuliana walked to the door, she uttered, “You should treat your insanity as soon as possible.”

She opened the door, looked at Christopher, and said, “Okay. Bye. I won’t send you off.”

Christopher looked at the open door and plucked the short hair on the back of his head. Afterward, he got up

from the couch and walked to the door with the takeout garbage.

“I’m leaving.” he murmured.

Yuliana looked at Christopher with her chin pointed at the door, implying for him to leave quickly.

Christopher did not move. After staring at her for a while, he suddenly grabbed the back of Yuliana’s neck and kissed her. He pressed his hand against her forehead after a deep kiss and uttered, “This is a goodbye kiss. Remember to lock the door.”

After saying that, Christopher let go of Yuliana and left with the garbage.

Yuliana lowered her eyelids and closed the door after Christopher’s silhouette could no longer be seen. She was about to turn around to go back to her room when she remembered what Christopher had said when he left. Yuliana then returned to the door and locked it.

It was a very strange feeling.

She thought, “What are we now? Is it like what Christopher said? Are we going to practice living like a normal married couple? Why do I think that normal married couples don’t act as we do?”

Yuliana placed her hand against her beating heart and felt that she was probably bewitched.

After leaving Yuliana’s place, Christopher didn’t go back to Oceanview Apartment but directly headed to the Solace residence.

It was almost early in the morning when he arrived at the Solace residence. Zachary and Winnie were fast asleep, and only the light that was still lit on the second floor was coming from Kendrick’s study.

“Mr. Solace, you’re back.” Hearing the noise, a maid came out to greet him.

Christopher stated, “There’s no need to worry about me. Ms. Lopez, you can go rest first.”

The maid nodded and asked, “Should I get you something to eat?”

“No, I’ve eaten.”

The maid didn’t say anything else and went back to her room to continue sleeping.

Christopher went back to his room to take a shower. Then, he lit a cigarette and stood by the window to finish smoking it. Yuliana’s expression and behavior just now kept appearing in his mind. Christopher felt like his heart was filled, and he felt extremely comfortable.

After he finished smoking the cigarette, he did not go to sleep immediately but left his room to go to Kendrick’s study.

Kendrick was in a video conference with the person in charge of overseas dealing when Christopher walked

1.

Kendrick simply glanced at Christopher when he saw him walk into the room and paid him no attention. Kendrick listened attentively to the report of the person in charge of overseas dealing.

Christopher didn’t disturb him. He spread his legs, sat on the couch, and sent a message to Yuliana: [Are you asleep?]

It was already past one o’clock in the morning, so he did not receive any response.

Christopher waited for a while. Seeing that Yuliana didn’t respond to his text, he opened his game. He turned down the volume and channeled his inexhaustible energy into the game.

The video conference lasted until two o’clock.

Kendrick turned off his device and looked at Christopher, who was still playing his game. He asked, “Do you have something to discuss with me?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Christopher didn’t raise his head and grunted in acknowledgment. Then, he frowned and quit the game directly. He raised his eyes to look at Kendrick and stated, “I’ve already thought it over clearly. I want to marry Yuliana.”

Kendrick looked at him and didn’t say anything for a long time.

Christopher’s breathing paused slightly and continued, “I’m just notifying you, and I’m not listening to your opinion.”

Kendrick leaned back and relaxed his arm muscles. He gazed deeply at Christopher for a moment before saying, “You can marry Yuliana, but I have two conditions.”

Christopher frowned. “What conditions?”

Kendrick explained, “First, you and Yuliana can get a marriage certificate first, but the wedding cannot be held any time soon, and your relationship cannot be announced to the public. Second, you have to go back to Solace Corporation to help me.”

Christopher didn’t answer Kendrick immediately. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying, “I can accept the second condition but not the first.”

Kendrick went on, “I know this will make Ms. Livingstone feel aggrieved. However, Christopher, you are also the descendant of the Solace family. You have enjoyed everything of the Solace family since you were a child, and you have the obligation to protect our reputation. You know better than me about Yuliana’s past Even if you don’t think for the Solace family, you should think for her. What would others think of her when the news. of your marriage comes out when she and the guy from the Ziegler family have only been divorced for a few months?”

Hearing the last part, Christopher became silent.

Kendrick was speaking the truth. “Even if I don’t care, will Yuliana feel the same? I know words can be scary,” Christopher mused.
