Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 318

It was a nearly one-hour drive, but it only took her about 40 minutes to get there.

When Xandria arrived, Yuliana was sitting quietly on a bamboo chair outside the coffee shop. She did not order any coffee, and there was a glass full of water in front of her. It was obvious that she never had a sip.

Yuliana sat there listlessly, gazing blankly into the distance without any

movement for a long time. She only blinked her eyes a little out of natural reflex after a long while.

Xandria had never seen Yuliana like this before. Even when Yuliana divorced Harry, she never acted like this.

Yuliana looked indescribably exhausted. Her soul seemed to have left her body, leaving only an empty shell sitting there.

Xandria was shocked. She immediately walked over and called out, “Yuliana!”

Yuliana finally moved slowly when she heard Xandria’s voice. She turned her head toward Xandria and smiled faintly. “Xani, you’re here.”

Xandria kept staring at Yuliana’s face. The latter had a bright makeup look today, but it did not look tawdry on her. Instead, it highlighted her delicate facial features even more. However, even with the makeup on, Xandria could still see that Yuliana looked really pale.

Xandria moved the chair toward Yuliana and sat down next to her. She raised her hand to feel Yuliana’s forehead and then her own. “No fever,” Xandria muttered. She then asked anxiously, “Yuliana, are you not feeling well? Let me take you to the hospital.”

“I’m fine.” Yuliana knew her health condition very well. She was just feeling a little tired and wanted to have a good sleep.

She had not had a good sleep these days.

She only had four to five hours of sleep every day, and once she got up, it was hard for her to get back to sleep.

Yet her mental state was poor. She felt sleepy and tired every day.

That kind of situation seemed to reach a critical point that day. Yuliana’s body felt so sore and weak that she could not muster up any strength. All she wanted was to find a bed and sleep for two days straight.

Yuliana lowered her eyelids and uttered slowly, “I’m just a little tired.”

Xandria suggested, “I’ll drive you back.”

17:08

“I don’t want to go back now,” Yuliana replied.

Every corner of the condominium was filled with traces of Christopher. She refused to get involved in anything related to him now. All she wanted was to hide in a place without Christopher.

Xandria wanted to ask, but after seeing Yuliana acting like this, she kept quiet. She thought for a while and said, “Let’s go to my place then. The condominium that my dad bought me a few years back was renovated last year, but I haven’t had a chance to bring you there. I’ll take you there today.”

“All right.”

The two girls got in the car.

Perhaps Yuliana was worn out, so soon after getting in the car, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xandria did not know if it was her illusion. She felt that Yuliana seemed to have lost a lot of weight since the last time they met each other. Her face which had a little baby fat previously was so much more angular now.

Xandria drove smoothly as she wanted Yuliana to sleep peacefully.

However, Yuliana still did not sleep long. She was awake when they were about to arrive at the condominium at Bloudence. Yuliana stared out of the window, and a signboard of an offline chain alcohol shop came into her sight.

She looked at Xandria and asked, “Do you have any alcohol at your place?”

Xandria did not realize Yuliana was awake. She was stunned when she suddenly heard Yuliana’s words. “Alcohol? Do you want to have some?”

Yuliana nodded. “I want to drink some.”

Xandria replied, “There is no problem for people to stay in that condominium at Bloudence, but I haven’t lived in it yet, and there’s actually no alcohol over there. We can go grab some now if you want to drink.”

“Let’s buy some,” Yuliana agreed.

And so, Xandria made a turn to pick up some alcohol before heading back to the condominium at Bloudence.

After reaching the condominium, Yuliana drank two bottles of beer straight.

Yuliana was never a good drinker, and she rarely drank. After gulping two bottles of beer, she felt a little dizzy. Yuliana had no plan of getting drunk at this moment. She just wanted to have a nice and peaceful sleep.

Apparently, alcohol was way more effective than melatonin for Yuliana.

She turned off her phone and lay on the couch in the living room. Not long after, she fell asleep.

Xandria had an upset stomach when she got home, so she went to the bathroom. first.

She came out and saw Yuliana deep asleep on the couch with her body curled. There were two empty beer bottles on the coffee table right in front of her.

Xandria stood next to the couch, gazing worriedly at Yuliana for a while. She then threw the beer bottles into the trash can and went upstairs to get a blanket from the wardrobe to cover Yuliana.

Yuliana had a deep sleep. By the time she woke up, it was already dark.

It had been a while since she slept for so long.

The soreness and weakness in her body had reduced significantly, and she sobered up.

Yuliana seemed to have a lot of dreams while she was asleep, but she could not remember a single scene that she had dreamed of after waking up.

The living room was brightly lit, but it was in complete silence.

Yuliana looked around, and it seemed that Xandria was not around.

She then got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she saw Xandria entering the house with several bags in her hands. Xandria’s eyes lit up as she saw Yuliana was up.

The former chuckled as she asked, “Yuliana, you’re awake.”

“Yea.” Yuliana glanced at the stuff that Xandria was holding and asked, “Where have you been?”

“Hehe, I managed to get Raymond to bring over some dishes for me,” Xandria chimed happily while she put all the food on the coffee table and showed them to Yuliana. “I haven’t eaten these for a long time. I remembered you loved fried chicken wings, so I ordered two sets for you.”

There was only one fried food store in the whole of Juxshire, which was located near their high school.

Back in high school, it was Yuliana’s and Xandria’s favorite store and they often went there. Even though they could barely take spicy food, they would always crave that and have upset stomachs after eating.

After graduating from high school, they had fewer chances of eating there as they were further away. They would go together only when it occasionally crossed their mind.

“Why are you standing there? Come and sit over here!”

Xandria handed a pair of disposable gloves to Yuliana. Yuliana put them right on, picked up a fried chicken wing, and started eating.

Perhaps it had been a long time since Yuliana last had such spicy food, she choked

on the first bite and burst into tears.

Instead of comforting her, Xandria went over to the refrigerator. She put the ice cubes she made that afternoon into an ice bucket, opened a bottle of liquor, and poured it into two glasses. After adding a few ice cubes, she handed the glass to Yuliana and exclaimed, “Let’s get drunk tonight!”

Yuliana glanced at Xandria with her reddened eyes for a second and took the glass of alcohol before gulping it down. “Let’s get drunk!” she answered with her lips curled into a grin.

Xandria turned on the TV and switched to a channel with someone singing. She then chatted with Yuliana while enjoying the food and drinks.

Their conversation circulated around the fun stuff that had happened in high school, and they remembered how carefree they were back then. They both had boys they had crushes on in school. Besides, they also shared their little secrets with each other, gossiped, had meals, and went to classes together.

Although they faced some troubles too, those were nothing as they recalled them now. In fact, it was those troubles that made the moment back then more interesting.

Yuliana drank a lot. She was so drunk that she sat on the floor. Her face was flushed. She pressed against her temples with her fingers. Despite feeling extremely terrible in the head, her body felt very relaxed as if she was on cloud nine.
