Chapter 116 It Is Pointless To Regret
The sound of the movie in the living room had stopped for a long time. The movie should be over by then.
In the bedroom, Yuliana was facing Christopher as she fell asleep on his arm. Her breathing was even while her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Christopher sat on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed frame. He looked at the person in front of him in silence for a long while and smoothed the knit between her eyebrows with his fingertip.
Nonetheless, the light knit appeared between her eyebrows in no time again. It seemed to tell the sorrow of its owner’s heart.
Christopher’s eyes darkened. He twitched the corner of his lips and touched her eyelashes playfully.
Yuliana’s eyelashes trembled and the knit between her eyebrows became deeper, but there was no sign of awakening
Then, Christopher pinched her nose again, causing Yuliana to have a hard time breathing. She finally moved her eyes and slowly opened them.
However, before her eyes were completely opened, a shadow engulfed her sight and her lips were sealed. Yuliana was already in a state of suffocation. With the kiss that came all too sudden, she subconsciously wanted to resist although she was not completely awake. As such, she pushed Christopher’s shoulder forcibly with both hands.
After a while, Christopher let go of Yuliana and looked down at her face which was blushing red. He flickered the loose strand of hair that fell on her lip with his fingers.
“Ana, will you regret it?” he asked.
Yuliana was a little confused. She did not understand why Christopher woke her up and asked such a clueless question.
She frowned and asked, “What should I regret?”
Christopher gazed at her for a while, and then he suddenly twitched the corner of his lips before saying. “Nothing
Two seconds later, he chuckled and seemed to talk to himself. “It’s pointless to regret it, anyway.
Yuliana frowned even more. She had no clue what was going on with Christopher in the middle of the night. Christopher kissed between her eyebrows, turned off the light, and lay down beside her while hugging her tightly. He blurted, “Let’s sleep.”
Yuliana struggled slightly and protested, “Christopher, I can’t sleep with you holding me like this.” Christopher did not say anything. After a few seconds of hesitation, he loosened the strength of his arm which was holding Yuliana. It was only then the latter felt better.
However, she did not fall asleep when she closed her eyes.
She was still thinking about what Christopher said just now.
After pondering for a while, she seemed to figure out something but not completely.
The next morning, Christopher accompanied Yuliana to the supermarket and came back with a few big bags
of fresh fruits, some vegetables, and meat that could be kept fresh for a while.
It was enough for a week. Yuliana only needed to buy some fresh vegetables after that.
Yuliana put the fruits, vegetables, and meat into the refrigerator according to the types and glared at
Christopher resentfully. “I told you not to buy so many. The refrigerator can’t fit all.”
She was used to hoarding food for three or four days, and she would basically go to the supermarket twice a week to buy food.
It was as though something was unusual with Christopher that day as he was so eager to bring everything back from the supermarket.
Christopher replied casually, “It’ll be no issue if we buy another refrigerator, right?”
Yuliana glanced at him speechlessly. “If we buy another one, where should we put it then? Besides, is it really
necessary?”
The refrigerator was enough for her to stock up on food for three or four days.
Christopher looked around at the size of the house and thought that there was really no place to put a refrigerator if he were to buy one.
He could not help but glance at Yuliana’s belly. “Or you can move to my place?”
Yuliana immediately refused. “No way.”
Christopher’s eyes darkened as he asked, “Why not?”
Yuliana looked at him and paused for a while before saying. “It takes 40 to 50 minutes to get to Juxshire Primary School from your place without traffic jams My commuting time is always during rush hour, so it’ll take at least an hour. If I live here, it takes only a few minutes to walk to Juxshire Primary School. Why should I create trouble for myself?”
Christopher could not help coughing lightly. “What about we hire a caretaker?”
Yuliana was even more confused at that. “What for?”
Christopher glanced at her belly. “I’m worried about you being home alone.”
Yuliana tried every means to stuff the last few fruits into the refrigerator before she managed to close the refrigerator door at last. “What’s there to be worried about? I’ve been fine these months staying alone.”
In fact, it was because her house was too small. Having an additional caretaker made Yuliana feel a little troublesome even if she did not stay home.
However, she had difficulty moving around during the later stage of her pregnancy, so she had to find a caretaker regardless.
Therefore, she had to move to a bigger house first.
Thinking of that, Yuliana felt a headache. House moving was a big project. Even if there was a moving company, she still had to clean up everything after moving in.
When she moved there from Highfield Manor a few months ago, it had taken her a few days to settle everything down. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
After lunch, Christopher answered a phone call.
Yuliana was listening from aside. It should be Christopher’s brother Kendrick calling. They were talking about something related to work.
Shortly after answering the phone, Christopher left Maple Garden.
He went back to the Solace residence first to talk to Kendrick for a while, and then greeted Zachary and Winnie.
Winnie was still angry, so she ignored him.
Christopher did not stay at the Solace residence for a long time. He left soon after.
After coming out of the Solace residence, he gave Raymond a call.
It was rare for Raymond to have a rest that weekend, but he was forced to date Xandria.
Xandria was not in a good mood either. After the two met, they found a place for lunch but none of them spoke. It was still early after finishing the meal. She would definitely be scolded if she went home at that hour. Leonard was not in Juxshire those few days, and Christopher also totally ignored her.
After sending a message, she did not receive any response for a long while. The person could not be reached at all.
Since there was nowhere to go, Xandria agreed unexpectedly when Raymond casually suggested having a coffee somewhere else.
When they arrived at the place, he really drank the coffee.
Nonetheless, Xandria did not even touch it. She ignored him and played games on her phone with a gloomy face.
Looking at her aura, Raymond did not dare to speak at all.
Fortunately, a call from Christopher came to his rescue.
“Hey, Mr. Solace, how could a busy man like you call me?” Raymond said with a funny tone. “Sorry, I’m quite busy today and don’t have time to entertain you!”
Christopher chuckled and replied, “I won’t waste your time. Do you have Xandria’s phone number? Share it
with me.”
Hearing that, Raymond was stunned. He raised his eyelids and looked at Xandria. To his surprise, Xandria had stopped playing games and stared at him coldly.
He frowned and asked, “Why do you want her phone number?”
Christopher said, “Just send it. Stop asking nonsense.”
Raymond was rendered speechless instantly.
He coughed lightly and said, “She is with me. What do you want from her?”
Christopher was silent for a moment and said, “Send me the location.”
With that said, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the screen that turned dim, Raymond looked at Xandria for two seconds and asked, “Did you
for him?”
Xandria glared at him. “He’s the one looking for me.”
Raymond rubbed his nose. Thinking of Christopher’s temper, he was worried that things would go out of control later. As such, he suggested, “He is coming. Do you want to leave first?”
Xandria snorted, “Why should I leave? Am I afraid of him?”

Raymond remembered how timid Xandria was when she met Christopher earlier. He could not help but touch his lips, thinking, “You’re being stubborn now. I bet you’ll be a coward when you see him later, won’t you?”
Then, he opened WhatsApp and sent the location of the café to Christopher.
Half an hour later, Christopher finally arrived at the airport.
Seeing the two people in the private room, he glanced at Raymond and said, “You go out first.”
