Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 276

Yuliana silently took the cotton swab from him. She helped apply the medicine to his wound before putting a Band-Aid on it. While packing the first aid kit, she asked, “What happened?”

“I accidentally bumped into something.” Christopher seemed unbothered.

He observed Yuliana tidying up the first aid kit with a profound gaze as if he was thinking about something.

As Yuliana glanced at him, the couple made eye contact. She remained silent for a moment before saying, “Liar.”

From Christopher’s gaze before, it was clear to her that he was contemplating. He wouldn’t have shown such an expression if he unintentionally bumped into something. Besides, that wouldn’t have resulted in him sustaining such a wound. Instead, it looked like his forehead got cut by something.

Yuliana took off her shoes and curled up her legs on the couch. She stared at Christopher quietly with a pair of limpid eyes.

Christopher gulped twice as he noticed her gaze. Eventually, he extended his lengthy arm and pulled her into his embrace. “I’m sorry, Ana.”

He sounded hoarse and grating. There was a hint of frustration and helplessness in his tone too.

At that moment, Yuliana couldn’t help but become softhearted. She raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. “It’s fine if you don’t want to say it. I won’t force you. You don’t have to say sorry to me too.”

She knew why Christopher apologized.

He felt that the Solace family’s dispute caused Yuliana to be dragged into the mess, resulting in her past getting exposed online. Currently, netizens even raised reports by calling the Education Bureau, hoping that the school would fire her.

These netizens even wanted to check whether it was legal for Yuliana to be admitted to Juxshire Primary School and whether she had used any special privileges throughout her life.

Over the past two days, the school contacted her to discuss this matter. Although the school didn’t say it explicitly, it wasn’t hard to comprehend what they meant. They hoped Yuliana would voluntarily resign. After all, she got admitted into Juxshire Primary School with her own ability and didn’t use any backhanded methods. One could not find fault with her in other aspects too.

Yuliana also explained to the school that her being the so-called homewrecker and how she cheated on her spouse were entirely fabricated.

Yuliana didn’t immediately respond about the resignation. She felt that since she

didn’t do anything wrong, she didn’t need to quit her job.

However, she also clearly understood that the school had no choice but to make such a decision.

Otherwise, people would call and harass the school daily. They even received a lot of complaints. The teachers in the school would also have their personal information posted on the Internet, and people would try to uncover if there were any problematic issues with them. It wasn’t like everyone had an immaculate past. Everyone would be at risk. Then, it would be impossible for them to teach. their students in class as usual.

Christopher didn’t reply to Yuliana’s remarks. After lapsing into silence, he abruptly tilted his head and kissed her on the cheek before proceeding to kiss her on the lips. His actions gradually became more aggressive.

His mouth reeked of alcohol. Yuliana subconsciously pushed Christopher away a few times, as she disliked the smell. However, the man backhandedly gripped her wrists and pinned her to the couch behind them.

Yuliana struggled. “Not here.”

What they were doing was as though they were trying to numb the nerves temporarily in exchange for a brief moment of relaxation.

Christopher didn’t intend to stop his actions at all.

Realizing that she couldn’t persuade him, Yuliana said anxiously, “Go back to our

room!”

Christopher paused for a moment. He brushed away the hair on her face before cupping her chin to kiss her lips. He stood, carried her upstairs, and headed straight into the bathroom.

The next day, Yuliana was already awake when Christopher woke up.

She grabbed his arm. Christopher turned around and looked at her. “Did I disturb your sleep?”

Yuliana shook her head as she stared at the wound on his head. She reminded him, “Go downstairs and apply some medicine to your wound later. Don’t use iodine, as it will leave a scar.”

Christopher uttered a soft acknowledgment. He placed his palm on the back of her head and leaned over to lick her chapped lower lip. “You should sleep a little longer. I’ll arrange for someone to settle the matter with the school. Don’t worry.”

Yuliana remained silent for a while. She looked up at him and rubbed the newly grown stubble on his chin with her hand. “I’ve decided to resign. You don’t need to get involved in this.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Solace Corporation was targeted by rivals on every side now. Although

Christopher didn’t mention anything, she could roughly guess it based on his and

Joyce’s recent reactions.

Besides, Yuliana didn’t want to cause any trouble to the teachers and students in the school because of her.

“Resign?” Christopher stared at her. “Why should you quit?”

Yuliana grinned. “I’m not going to work for the time being. Roe is still so young. I want to take care of him for two more years. I can resume working when he grows older. Why? Do you think you can’t support us?”

A glint flashed across Christopher’s eyes. He stayed quiet for a while before chuckling. “Ana, I thought I could give you happiness, but it seems things don’t always go as I wish.”

His words stunned Yuliana momentarily. When she regained her senses, she noticed the other party had curled his lips self-deprecatingly.

Christopher looked at Yuliana with a warm gaze. His fingers glided before Yuliana’s eyes and landed on her soft cheeks. He caressed her face. “It’s still early. Take a nap. I’ll ask Kylie to watch over Roe.”

Yuliana blinked and hummed in acknowledgment.

Christopher rose to his feet to freshen up. Afterward, he headed to the walk-in wardrobe to change his shirt and trousers. The man came out with a coat and a tie in his hand. Noticing that Yuliana was staring at him, he beamed. “It seems like I wasn’t aggressive enough last night.”

Yuliana’s cheeks flushed as she glared at him.

After Christopher left, Yuliana lay on the bed for a while. Although she couldn’t sleep, her body felt limp and powerless. Hence, she didn’t want to move. Many things surfaced in her mind.

That morning, she informed the school that she was willing to resign. She would send the relevant materials regarding her resignation to the school soon. As for the formalities that needed to be followed up subsequently, she would find time to go to the school to settle them.

Less than an hour after her conversation with the school ended, there was a post on the school’s official website concerning Yuliana’s resignation.

After the announcement was released, it soon became a trending topic on Twitter, and there was another heated discussion.

Many netizens commented: [I knew it. Sure enough, there’s something fishy about her. Otherwise, the school wouldn’t have fired her.]

Yuliana didn’t pay attention to the biased or unbiased comments on the Internet anymore. The commotion finally came to an end after over ten days.

She only knew about the car incident that Christopher had gotten into when

Joyce shared it with her a few days later.

The car accident wasn’t a mistake, but a premeditated murder attempt. The other party wanted to kill Christopher. Even if the person failed to do so, he wanted him to be crippled. Fortunately, Jack reacted quickly and avoided the car in time.

The car and its owner were found the next day.

The owner of that car was still in deep slumber when he was discovered. There was the stench of alcohol all over his body. The man claimed that he couldn’t remember what occurred the previous

night. However, he couldn’t refute it once he saw the video recorded by the dashboard camera.

Although the driver was guilty of drunk driving and escaping, he hadn’t caused a major accident. The driver was willing to compensate Christopher, and the former would be sentenced to a maximum of a few years.
