Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 316

Yuliana’s thoughts were a little scattered, but she quickly pulled herself together. As she lifted her gaze, her eyes met Christopher’s. Compared to that night he came to Oceanview Apartment, he appeared neither fatter nor thinner, but there was an air of desolation and vicissitudes around him.

The stubble on Christopher’s chin was showing, and he didn’t shave it. He probably hadn’t had a good rest as well, so he looked exhausted with dark circles under his eyes.

The two of them stared at each other silently for a while.

Zayne was sorting out the documents for the case and failed to notice the subtle interaction between the two.

Christopher’s chapped lips parted, and with a hoarse voice, he uttered, “Why are you here?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Hearing this, Zayne looked up at Christopher and glanced at Yuliana.

Yuliana’s eyes were calm. Her face betrayed no hint of emotion as she responded, “I have something to discuss with you.”

After that, Yuliana didn’t speak further.

When Zayne finished sorting out the case files, he began to ask Christopher about the case. But what Christopher said was more or less the same as what he told Zayne and Layla when they met the day before.

Zayne felt that there was no need to waste his breath going through everything again. He said to Yuliana, “I need to use the restroom.”

That was just an excuse. He could see that Yuliana wanted to talk to Christopher alone, so he found an excuse to give them some privacy.

As soon as Zayne left, Christopher lifted his gaze to Yuliana. He slouched back on the chair and moved his hands out of habit, but he realized that both of them were restrained. At that realization, he frowned slightly in irritation.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Christopher asked.

“Are you the one who killed Scarlett?” Yuliana probed.

so.”

Christopher’s expression changed slightly, but the hint of emotion on his face quickly dissipated. He smirked nonchalantly and replied, “If you say

Yuliana finally realized what Zayne meant when he said Christopher was not cooperating.

She retorted, “If I say so? What if the police or the court say so too? Christopher, have you ever thought about this? If you don’t tell the police the truth and end up being convicted as the murderer, you could go to jail or even be sentenced to

death.”

When Yuliana said this, she remained composed, as if she was merely stating a fact without any trace of emotion.

Christopher laughed, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Yuliana. “Yuliana, I didn’t know you cared so much about me. I thought you won’t meddle in my business anymore since we’re going to divorce.”

Yuliana stared at Christopher and went silent for a few seconds before saying, “Yes, I do care about you.”

Upon hearing her words, Christopher finally revealed a trace of emotion. He gently pursed his lips while his dull eyes gradually darkened further.

“No.” Yuliana suddenly added, lowering her eyes and smiling faintly. She then looked up at Christopher and said, “To be exact, I love you. Christopher, I love you.”

After she said that, tears streamed down her cheeks.

She raised her fingers to wipe away the tears softly, the smile on her face remaining ever gentle. “To be honest, I never imagined I would fall in love with someone like you. You are completely different from my ideal type.”

Since Yuliana was young, she had always been attracted to people who were motivated and earnest, and not someone like Christopher, who was laid-back and enthralled by fun and entertainment.

Harry gave her the impression of the former type of person, so she fell in love with him when she was a teenage girl.

But after getting married, she gradually discovered that Harry was different from what she had imagined. While Harry was indeed motivated, he used whatever means to achieve his goals. Of course, the business world was like a battlefield, it was common for people to be merciless.

However, her marriage with Harry was not the kind of marriage she wanted.

Christopher was not Yuliana’s ideal type. Their one-year marriage had its ups downs, and they fought a lot. But after thinking back to the time they spent together, Yuliana still felt a sense of bliss.

SO

and

She enjoyed the simplicity of her relationship with Christopher and the fact that Christopher was clinging to her.

“But I fell in love with you. What can I do?” Yuliana gave a wry laugh, paused for a while, and continued, “I don’t want to divorce you. I hope that I can be together with you and Roe as a family forever.”

While staring into Christopher’s eyes, Yuliana went on, “Christopher, don’t you feel anything at all for me? Can’t you let yourself walk out of here as an innocent man for me and our son? Do you want someone to curse Roe one day, calling his

father a murderer?”

Christopher clenched his fists while his gaze remained fixated on Yuliana. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging as if they were about to explode.

After a long silence, he spoke again with a resolute tone tinged with sarcasm. “After the divorce, you can change his surname, or you can find a new father for him. Isn’t it fine as long as no one knows that he is my son?”

Yuliana pursed her lips tightly. “Are you really going to divorce me?”

“Of course. Do you think I’m joking?” Christopher reverted back to his nonchalant behavior and smiled derisively at Yuliana as he mocked, “Ana, I didn’t expect you to fall in love with me. I’m actually pleased to hear what you said just now. However, I believe you’re aware that the reason we got married in the first place was that you were pregnant. As a responsible man, I couldn’t just abandon the offspring of the Solace family. I had no choice but to marry you. After getting married, I planned to live a good life

with you. Even though you are a boring person, your figure still suits my taste and gave me a sense of excitement. I thought maybe we could go on forever.”

Christopher took a glance at Yuliana and continued, “But how long can the excitement last? Ana, we’ve known each other for a while now, and you are the mother of my son. I want us to part on good terms.”

Listening to his words, Yuliana suddenly chuckled. “You said so many things, but in conclusion, you still want to divorce me. You didn’t really have to say all of that. A simple ‘yes’ would have sufficed. You’re right. If we were to divorce, I can change Rowan’s surname and leave Juxshire with him, or I can remarry if I meet the right person in the future. As long as no one knows that Rowan is your son, no one will” know that he has a father who murdered someone and entered prison. But Christopher, are you sure this is what you want?”

Christopher smirked. “I haven’t reached the point where I need my son to see me off to my deathbed. If necessary, I can always find another woman to bear me a child.”

Yuliana’s eyes turned cold at that. “In that case, I have nothing more to say. Today will be my last time seeing you. As for our divorce procedures, I will fully cooperate.”

After saying that, she stood up, walked toward the door, and placed her hand on the doorknob. As she was about to open the door and leave, she stopped in her tracks.

“Christopher, once I walk out of here today, I won’t look back no matter what happens in the future.”

After a long silence, a faint voice was heard from behind. “Okay.”
