Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Are You Not Calling Her Back?

In the first few years of her marriage, Joyce didn’t have an easy life in the Solace family. There were many conflicts between her and Kendrick. Even to this day, Christopher believed Kendrick married Joyce purely out of obligation to her.

Moreover, it was hard for Christopher to imagine that a man like Kendrick, who put all his heart and soul into his work, would even fall in love.

Yuliana didn’t ask more.

Actually, after interacting with Joyce several times, Yuliana thought Joyce was a very nice person.

Christopher ordered a lot of food, but Yuliana was not that hungry. She just remembered the barbecue she had at the night market with him in Romdale and suddenly craved food, so she wanted to try the restaurant. She didn’t eat a lot of BBQ skewers. Eventually, Christopher was the one who finished them all. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

After eating the barbecue, they went home.

Hailey had already gone to bed.

Yuliana went to wash up first, followed by Christopher..

While waiting for Christopher, Yuliana got a book and sat on the bed to read it.

However, she began to get sleepy before she could read any further. Her eyelids drooped uncontrollably.

Just then, Christopher’s phone rang. Startled, Yuliana dropped the book on the floor.

She jolted awake and bent down to pick up the book before reaching for the ringing phone.

When Yuliana saw the name flashing on the screen, she froze for a moment. After looking at the phone quietly for two seconds, she put the phone back.

Some time later, the phone stopped ringing.

Yuliana then picked up the book and flipped through another two pages. When Christopher finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, he only wore a pair of pajama pants. The waistband of the pajama pants hung loosely around his hips, and the muscles on his flat abdomen were prominent. He looked just like a model.

As Yuliana looked at him, she was in a daze for a moment.

It was not until Christopher approached her that she snapped back to her senses. “Is my body very attractive? Christopher asked.

Yuliana looked away in embarrassment. She tried to focus on the book in her hands and said calmly, “Not bad.”

“Not bad? That’s all?”

Yuliana kept her gaze fixed on the words in the book and hummed faintly.

Christopher took the book from her hand and threw it at the end of the bed. Trapping her between his arms, he uttered, “Ana, say that again. Hmm?”

He was blatantly threatening Yuliana.

Yuliana met his eyes and kissed him on the corner of his lips. “Your body is very attractive. Happy now?”

Christopher stared at Yuliana’s lips for a while. When his gaze swept across her slightly open collar, his throat felt tight. “It’s too late,” he said in a hoarse voice.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand to hold Yuliana’s neck and kissed her.

Yuliana pressed her hands against Christopher’s chest. She could feel his chest burning with passion when her fingers touched it. Out of reflex, she flinched as if she had been electrocuted.

Afterward, Christopher carried Yuliana to the bathroom and cleaned her up before bringing her back to their bed.

Yuliana was extremely sleepy.

She was so sleepy that she could immediately fall asleep as soon as she hit the pillow, but since there were still some thoughts lingering in iter mind, she couldn’t sleep well.

In a daze, she forced herself to open her eyes and looked at the man behind her. She said, “When you were taking a shower in the bathroom just now, the phone rang. It was Annabelle. Do you want to call her back?” Yuliana never asked about Annabelle. Nevertheless, she noticed Annabelle seemed to be away from Juxshire during this period.

Christopher took his phone and cast a glance at it before putting it back. He hugged Yuliana, then kissed and bit her on the back of her shoulder. He didn’t bite hard, so instead of feeling pain, she felt a bit ticklish. Yuliana noticed Christopher liked the back of her shoulder a lot.

Every time they finished making love, he would kiss her on the shoulder many times.

Yuliana closed her eyes and moved her shoulders away from him. “Aren’t you going to call her back?” she asked in a muffled sound.

Christopher was silent for a few seconds. “She’ll call again if something is up,” he finally said.

Yuliana didn’t say anything more and soon fell asleep.

Listening to her calm breathing, Christopher sat on the bed for a while. He gently lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Then he put on a shirt and got a box of cigarettes and his phone. Pushing open the door to the balcony, he walked outside and closed the door behind him.

Christopher lit a cigarette and smoked.

After some time, he unlocked his phone and stared at the missed call for a while. Finally, he lightly tapped the number and called it.

In her sleep, Yuliana felt a bit cold, so she habitually moved a bit to the space next to her. However, she didn’t expect the spot to be colder.

Yuliana opened her eyes. The lights in the room were off. Even so, she could see that there was no one beside her.

Yuliana froze for a moment. She stared at the ceiling for a while before closing her eyes to continue sleeping.

The next day was Monday. However, it was New Year’s Day holiday, so there was no work.

At 8:00 a.m., Yuliana woke up. She turned around and found that Christopher was still asleep. Perhaps he felt a little hot, so he slept topless without covering his upper body with the quilt.

Yuliana watched him quietly for a while, then got up and went to wash up.

Yesterday, Yuliana made an appointment with Xandria. They would have lunch and go shopping together in the afternoon.

They hadn’t hung out together for a long time due to their previous conflict. Seeing that Yuliana was up, Hailey prepared a bowl of chicken soup for her.

While Yuliana was eating, Christopher came out of the room.

Hailey asked, “Mr. Solace, what do you want for breakfast?” Christopher glanced at Yuliana’s bowl and said, “Same as hers.”

With that, Hailey went to the kitchen to prepare chicken soup again.

Rolling his neck, Christopher yawned and asked, “Why did you get up so early?”

Yuliana said, “I have an appointment with Xani. I’m having lunch with her.”

Christopher paused and frowned. “When did you make the appointment with her?”

“Yesterday.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Christopher asked.

Yuliana glanced at him and replied, “I don’t have to tell you everything.”

“I’m going with you,” said Christopher.

However, Yuliana didn’t respond. Her answer was obvious.

Christopher had to settle for less by driving Yuliana to the place where she would meet up with Xandria before driving to Prestige Club.

It was still early. The birthday of Raymond’s mother was around the corner, so Xandria ordered a brooch for

her. The item had already arrived, and Xandria planned to collect it first.

The counter was not far away. It would only take Xandria and Yuliana ten minutes or so to reach the counter.

While they were on the way there, Yuliana asked, “Are you sure you want to let things go on like this with Raymond?”

“I don’t know.” Xandria felt annoyed.

She could neither advance nor retreat at that moment.

Both families thought Xandria was dating Raymond. Moreover, their parents already met each other and believed Xandria and Raymond’s relationship was quite stable When the parents saw Christopher and Yuliana at the birthday banquet of the Solacé family yesterday, they even brought up Xandria and Raymond’s

marriage

Raymond’s mother liked Xandria and treated her very well. Whenever Xandria remembered she was deceiving Raymond’s mother, she felt quilty.

“Never mind. Let’s not talk about this. It stresses me out!” Xandria tended to escape the problem whenever she encountered one.

She changed the subject and said excitedly, “Yuliana, listen. The mother-daughter duo from the Ziegler family has become a laughingstock of Juxshire.”
