Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 296

Yuliana and Kathryn hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

In July, Kathryn contacted Yuliana and comforted her due to the negative public opinion online. After things gradually subsided, Kathryn used her Twitter account to clarify the situation for Yuliana.

However, she also got Annabelle involved in the clarification. Things calmed down for a while then, and only a handful of people who paid attention to this matter started to berate them.

Some of them stood on Yuliana’s side and turned to scold Annabelle, some of the others reproached Yuliana for wanting to prove her innocence, and the rest went off on Kathryn for wanting to ride the wave.

Although Yuliana didn’t think there was a point in clarifying anything, she was still grateful to Kathryn.

Her relationship with Kathryn hadn’t been particularly close before this incident. They were merely each other’s classmates in high school. If it weren’t for Xandria, Yuliana and Kathryn wouldn’t have gotten other reasons to stay in contact after graduation.

When Yuliana and Rowan entered, Kathryn and Xandria had already arrived. They were taking pictures with their phones together, one showing a piece sign. while the other pouted adorably.

In fact, it seemed natural that Kathryn and Xandria got along well.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Yuliana apologized.

Seeing Yuliana arrive, Xandria, who suddenly had a glow on her face, immediately put down her phone and hopped over. She picked up Rowan from the stroller and kissed him on the face. “Roe! I’ve missed you so much!”

Kathryn tutted and stood up as well. Standing beside Xandria, she looked at Rowan with curious eyes. “Don’t kiss him. Don’t get all that makeup on your whole face on him.”

Hearing this, Xandria immediately waved. “Give me two pieces of tissue. I’ll wipe him clean.”

Yuliana handed her two baby wipes then. Yuliana and Xandria made a hilarious pair as they panicked.

After Xandria wiped off the spot she kissed, Kathryn reached out to grab Rowan and cooed, “Come. Let Aunt Kathryn give you a hug.”

“Roe doesn’t want hugs from Granny Kathryn!” Xandria turned around to dodge Kathryn’s outstretched hands. She then smiled at Rowan. “Roe only wants Aunt Xandria’s hugs, doesn’t he?”

Kathryn swiftly slapped Xandria on the butt. “Who are you calling Granny? If I’m old, what about you? Don’t forget we are the same age!”

Xandria quirked her eyebrows and glanced at Kathryn. “So what? You look older than me!”

“You little!” Kathryn cursed through gritted teeth.

Xandria immediately covered one of Rowan’s ears and glared at Kathryn. “Granny Kathryn, you can’t swear in front of the children!”

Kathryn was not willing to concede. “Granny Xandria!” she howled.

Hearing that, Xandria snorted and retorted, “I am Roe’s godmother, not his granny! You’re Granny!”

Yuliana had sat down as she quietly watched them bicker.

The two didn’t seem to think of themselves as childish, as they kept hurling harmless insults at each other.

Finally, Rowan pouted and cried at the top of his lungs, scaring the women. enough to make them stop.

Xandria hurriedly returned Rowan to Yuliana. But as soon as the child reached Yuliana’s arms, he immediately quieted down and looked at her and Kathryn with his wet eyes.

Touching Rowan’s small paws, Xandria couldn’t help but ask, “Why does he stop crying when you hold him?”

“Don’t you understand?” Kathryn smiled. “Roe doesn’t like you!”

Xandria

gave Kathryn the side-eye again before she sat down beside Yuliana and continued to play with Rowan.

However, the little guy was probably taking his time to warm up to the women, as he seldom had chances to go out. Unlike his usual active self at home, he only looked at Xandria quietly.

Kathryn sat down opposite him and stared at Rowan before she eventually let out a sigh. “I heard from Xani that your son looks like his father. I didn’t expect him to be so similar. His features look like he was carved out of the same model as his father, but the shape of his face is more like yours. It wouldn’t be bad to look like this father, though. He will undoubtedly grow up to be a ladies’ man.”

At the end of her sentence, Kathryn couldn’t help but murmur, “As long as he doesn’t have his father’s personality.”

Yuliana only looked at Rowan with a faint smile without answering.

Soon, a waiter brought in some drinks and appetizers. The three of them then chatted while eating.

Rowan had been woken up by Yuliana a short while after he took a nap in the afternoon. After Yuliana hugged him for a while, she took his milk bottle and prepared baby formula for him. The child soon fell asleep in her arms.

Seeing that Rowan was asleep, Yuliana put him back in the stroller and covered him with a small blanket. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Kathryn seemed in a daze as she watched Yuliana’s skillful movements. “Yuliana, didn’t expect you to be a mother at such a young age.”

Taken aback, Yuliana smiled and sighed. “I’m no longer young. Don’t forget that I’m 25 years old this year.”

“And Xandria and I are 26!” Kathryn shrugged and said, “Look at us. We are not married. I wondered about marriage before, but I don’t think it means much to me now. It is nice to be single.”

She could do whatever she wanted.

Although Yuliana’s son was beautiful and lovable, Kathryn was terrified by the thought of Yuliana being around the child all day and barely having any personal space for her.

Yuliana stayed silent for two seconds before she smiled faintly. “It’s nice not to get married.”

Hearing this, Kathryn looked up at Yuliana.

However, Yuliana didn’t have too much emotion on her face. Kathryn couldn’t read her expression for a moment there.

Yuliana couldn’t stay out for too long because she had Rowan with her.

When it started getting dark, she took Rowan home after eating the birthday cake.

On the other hand, Xandria and Kathryn were going for their second round. They wandered around for a while, called some friends over, and went to a bar to have fun.

It was almost the early hours of the morning when they finally came out of the

bar.

Xandria and Kathryn both drank, but they didn’t drink too much. They were somewhat sober when they each called for a designated driver. While they were waiting for the drivers to take their bookings, they stood outside the bar and chatted.

There were pubs everywhere around the bar they were located. As many people came out of the pubs at this time, there were also many of them who needed a designated driver.

They waited for more than ten minutes before the drivers accepted their bookings.

Suddenly, Kathryn’s eyes fixed in a direction as she pointed into the distance. “Is that… That guy?”

Her brain couldn’t work well because of the alcohol she had.

Xandria looked in the direction she pointed, only to see Christopher come out of a bar with several men. A woman in a short black skirt with a vest was holding his arm intimately, and Christopher didn’t seem to have the intention to avoid her. He continued to talk to the men around him.

Xandria frowned and rushed forward immediately.

Seeing this, Kathryn quickly grabbed her and gasped. “What are you doing?!”

Xandria wanted to pull away from Kathryn’s grip. “It is Yuliana’s birthday today. I’m going to ask him what the hell he is doing by not going home early to celebrate her birthday. He is here hanging out with

these people in a bar!”

“Wake up!” Kathryn patted her on the face. “Are you sure you have the courage to go to him? I’m worried that you will be at a loss for words when you stand before him!”

Hearing this, Xandria promptly returned to her senses and glanced at Christopher again.

Christopher seemed to have noticed her and Kathryn. He looked at them, smiling, but his eyes were ice-cold.

In an instant, Xandria felt a chill on her back.
