Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 321

Chapter 321 Photo Album

Yuliana was stunned for a moment and then asked, “Has he been doing the same all these years?”

Chandler nodded. “Yes.”

After a pause, he added, “Actually, Uncle Damian came back to Yrinas before he got into that mess. At that time, I came nearby this area for work and was planning to take shelter at my great-uncle’s house from the rainstorm. Unexpectedly, Uncle Damian came back.”

Hearing this, Yuliana was stunned again.

Without answering Chandler’s question, she stood there quietly for a while before she walked downstairs based on her memories. Then, she took a tour downstairs.

This was a small foreign-style building that had three floors. Yuliana’s grandparents used to do some small businesses, and the family conditions were not bad. Since Yuliana’s father was the only child, all her grandparents’ efforts were devoted to her father.

Even now, Yuliana still remembered what her grandfather had told her when he was still alive. He said that the proudest thing in his life was to raise an excellent son, who was Yuliana’s father. Yuliana’s grandfather also wanted her to learn from her father and become a person who would contribute to society and the country.

When she recalled her grandfather’s words now, she felt it was a little ironic. She thought, “If Grandpa was still alive, I wonder what he would think when he sees my father’s current situation.”

“Chandler, please sit downstairs for a while. I’ll go upstairs and have a look,” Yuliana said to Chandler.

Chandler responded, “Okay.”

Yuliana went upstairs. There were three rooms and a study room upstairs.

Although Yuliana’s grandfather was a businessman, he also liked literary activities. In his free time, he would read books and practice calligraphy. Her father’s excellent handwriting was taught by her grandfather.

When Yuliana was a child, her grandfather also taught her to write for a period of time, but her writing was rather delicate and lacked a majestic feeling. Her grandfather didn’t like it and gave up teaching her after a while

Yuliana went to the study room first.

The furnishings in the study room were the same as before her grandfather’s death, and even the paper he used to practice calligraphy when he was alive was well-preserved.

She didn’t move the things in the study room. She just stood quietly for a moment and looked slowly at every corner, then got ready to leave.

When she went out of the study room and was about to close the door, her gaze suddenly fell on a certain spot on the bookshelf. After a pause, she pushed the door open again and entered the study room. She took the thick book from the bookshelf.

It was a photo album.

There were many photos in the album, mainly of all three of her grandparents and her father. Some of them were taken during some important events in the Livingstone family. Later, the photos of her and Jacob were also put in the album.

Yuliana remembered that when she returned during All Souls’ Day once, Damian specially asked a

photographer to take a family photo for them. After the photo was printed out, it was also put in this album.

Yuliana remembered the family photo deeply. It was taken less than a few years after Callie and Damian’s divorce. During that time, Damian remarried Sabrina and had Jacob. Then, the family photo from that photoshoot replaced Callie’s original photo in the album.

At that time, although Yuliana didn’t hate Sabrina, she definitely didn’t like the latter. In Yuliana’s heart, Callie, Damian, and she were an actual family.

Yuliana looked through the album from beginning to end. When she was about to put it back, she suddenly paused and felt something was wrong, but she couldn’t recognize what was wrong for a moment.

She frowned and thought for a while, then opened the album and flipped through it again. Finally, she found something wrong

The photos in this album were sorted according to the time when they were taken. The time that each photo was taken was marked on the back of each photo. However, the photo of Damian, Sabrina, Yuliana, and Jacob had switched in order with the photo of Yuliana’s grandparents and Damian.

Yuliana stared at the photos that were switched in order and pondered for a while. She touched the two photos with her fingers and then slowly took out the photo where the four took a group photo. A folded square paper was sandwiched between the two photos.

Chandler waited downstairs for a while. Seeing that Yuliana hadn’t come down yet, he planned to go upstairs to check on her. He couldn’t stay here for a long time since he had an appointment later.

When he arrived at the second floor, he saw that the door of the study room was half open. He went straight to the door. When he was about to open the door and enter, his movement suddenly paused.

He looked at the door for a while and saw Yuliana standing in front of the bookshelf with a thick book in her hand. He didn’t know whether it was a book or something, and she was reading it very seriously.

“Yuliana,” Chandler called out after he pushed the door open and entered the study room.

Yuliana came back to her senses and looked at Chandler, who came in. “Chandler.”

Chandler walked up to her and asked with a smile, “What are you looking at?”

Yuliana replied, “A photo album.”

Chandler glanced and realized that it was indeed a photo album. He found out that she was looking at the group photo of her four family members. Yet, the lady of the house in the photo was not Yuliana’s mother.

Chandler remembered Damian remarried his second wife, Sabrina, soon after his divorce from Callie. Soon, Damian and Sabrina had a son together. At that time, Yuliana followed them back to visit the grave. Chandler could tell that Yuliana and Sabrina were not very close.

After Damian’s accident, Sabrina also took Jacob abroad, leaving Yuliana in her home country.

These were all normal. Although it was said that men and women were equal now, the inherent idea in a person’s mind was not so easy to eradicate. The more successful one was, the more one would want a son and have the son inherit one’s good genes and career.

Chandler said casually, “I haven’t seen Jake for years. He should be in his teens now.”

Yuliana responded indifferently before closing the album and putting it back on the bookshelf.

After they came out of the study room, Yuliana went to look at the other three rooms. Actually, there was nothing to see. The pieces of furniture were covered with dust cloths. She didn’t intend to spend

the night in Yrinas, so she wouldn’t touch those pieces of furniture. She merely took a look at each room from the door and went downstairs with Chandler,

Yuliana intended to come to see if her grandparents’ house needed repairs. Although Damian was in prison these years, he had arranged everything well before he was met with a mishap, so she didn’t need to worry about it at all.

Yuliana didn’t stay for a long time. She changed the evening flight to the afternoon and planned to go directly to the airport.

Chandler advised, “Yuliana, you just came back. You can stay in Yrinas for two days before leaving.”

“No.” Yuliana smiled and said, “Thank you for bringing me around today, Chandler.”

“We’re a family. There’s no need to be so polite!” Chandler waved his hand and said, “Yuliana, don’t be a stranger.”

Finally, Chandler made a phone call and postponed his appointment with someone else to send Yuliana to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Chandler glanced at Yuliana and asked, “Are Sabrina and Jake coming back?” The car was a little stuffy. Yuliana opened a slit in the window of the front passenger seat, and the wind poured in. Her hair brushed over her face randomly, so she raised her hand and tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ears, saying, “I don’t know. I guess they won’t come back.”

Chandler nodded thoughtfully and sighed. “Alas, I can’t figure out what Uncle Damian is thinking.”

Yuliana didn’t answer.

When they arrived at the airport, Chandler left.

Yuliana redeemed the flight ticket and passed the security check. After that, she opened the cross-body bag

and took out the paper that was folded into a square and then slowly spread it open.

There was only a string of numbers written on the paper. It was her date of birth.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
