Chapter 136 I Miss You So Much
It was already early in the morning when Christopher returned.
Yuliana opened the door and saw a strange middle-aged man supporting Christopher, who was still wearing the brown coat she had bought for him.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he saw Yuliana. A trace of doubt appeared on his face. He asked, “Miss, do you know him? He said he lives here.”
The middle-aged man started to get a little suspicious when he drove the car in.
There was no way someone with such an excellent sports car would live in this kind of shabby residential
area.
After he saw Yuliana, he became more suspicious. The young woman in front of him didn’t look like she was familiar with the young man he was supporting.
Yuliana looked at the drunk Christopher for a while and did not say anything.
Christopher turned a little sober when he heard the middle-aged man speak. He raised his head and stared at Yuliana blankly for a while. Suddenly, he smiled, pushed the middle-aged man away, and stumbled forward before he hugged Yuliana.
“Ana, my dear…”
Yuliana struggled to hold Christopher’s heavy figure. The unpleasant smell on him made her a little nauseated. She could not help but frown and tried to restrain the heaving in her chest.
The middle-aged man was about to pull Christopher away when he saw this.
Yuliana said, “He lives here. Thank you for sending him back!”
The middle-aged man was still worried. He confirmed with Yuliana multiple times before he left.
Yuliana closed the door and dragged Christopher inside with great effort before she threw him on the couch.
Christopher snatched her waist with his arm just as she was about to get up. Yuliana’s figure stumbled back against Christopher’s body. Her face hit the man’s neck.
“Ana…”
Christopher’s hold on her was very tight. Yuliana tried to get up but failed.
The man turned his head. His breath brushed her ear.
Yuliana was a little disgusted, so she avoided to the side. Suddenly, the smell of sweet perfume hit her nose. It was on the neckline of the man’s coat and was very light. The scent was hidden under the smell of alcohol. It was difficult to notice the perfume scent if one did not pay attention.
Yuliana froze for a few seconds before she pried the man’s arm free with all her strength. She suddenly heard Christopher murmuring behind her when she stood up and was about to leave. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Ana, don’t leave.”
“Ana, I miss you so much…”
“Miss me?” she thought.
Yuliana turned around and looked down at the man lying on the sofa. His blonde hair covered most of his forehead. He was frowning. His legs were wrapped in casual and loose slacks. One of his legs was curled up on the armrest of the sofa, while the other was on the floor.
She stared at Christopher’s figure for a while before she suddenly realized that he might be calling Annabelle’s nickname, Anna.
Yuliana had already gone to school when Christopher woke up the next day.
His body felt uncomfortable from sleeping on the couch all night. In addition, he was also hungover and had a severe headache.
Christopher sat up. He leaned his head back against the couch before he closed his eyes for a while. He then opened his eyes. His gaze slowly swept across the living room while he was thinking about something else. He only remembered that he had asked the designated driver to drive him back last night. However, he didn’t
remember what happened later.
Christopher sat on the couch for a while before he took a shower. He then took a cigarette out of the cigarette pack and lit it.
The phone on the coffee table vibrated for a while. Christopher picked it up and took a look. There were more than a dozen missed calls, many unread messages, and even more messages on WhatsApp, along with a friend request notification.
Christopher clicked on the notification and took a look. The person who requested their number to be added had a cute cartoon character as their profile picture. This person attached a message that read: [Christopher, this is Margaret.]
He stared at the message for a while before he ignored it and directly closed the chat interface. Christopher also ignored the numerous messages and missed calls on his phone.
He threw the phone back to the table and smoked his cigarette in silence. Then, he caught a glimpse of the tablet on the couch.
Yuliana usually did not use tablets that much. She only occasionally used it to connect it to the projector and watch movies or something.
Christopher got up and picked up the tablet without thinking before he pressed the round home button. The tablet was not locked with a password, so it was unlocked directly.
The screen displayed the interface of an app immediately after the tablet was unlocked.
Christopher immediately knew after he took a glance at the interface that Yuliana was searching for a house. It rained again in Juxshire when the school session was nearing the end. The rain was also getting heavier as time passed.
Yuliana was not in a good state, so she was slow in grading the workbooks that afternoon. She still had not finished grading them by the time working hours ended, so she stayed at school and worked overtime.
The other teachers had already left early because of the rain, leaving Yuliana alone in the office.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office’s door.
“Ms. Livingstone, you’re still here?”
Yuliana turned around and found that it was Spencer standing at the door.
She replied, “I haven’t finished grading the workbooks yet. You can leave first, Mr. Carl!”
Spencer looked at several workbooks in front of her and said, “It’s raining heavily outside. I’ll drive you home after this.”
Yuliana hurriedly said, “There’s no need. I brought an umbrella. My place is very close by. It’s only a few minutes’ walk.”
Spencer smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m not in a hurry, anyways.”
