Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 333

Chapter 333 An Aloof Christopher

It was not true that Elaine did not care about her parents’ feelings.

She had a good relationship with her parents, as she was the only child in the family. Since she was young. they had doted on her and always gave in to her. Of course, she was also a responsible and sensible child. She had never disappointed them. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Elaine knew that she had fallen for Christopher very quickly. Although they had known each other for only half a month, and it was only a few days ago that they confirmed their relationship, her life had already revolved around him.

Whenever they were apart, she would involuntarily think about him and want to see him soon. When they were together, all her attention would be focused on him. She wanted to know everything about this man.

Before Elaine was in a relationship with Christopher, she dated other men. However, they were casual relationships, and she was not serious about them. She always refused to bring them home to see her parents, even though her mother had requested her to.

She knew that those relationships would not last.

She had never liked a man as much as Christopher.

Christopher had just come out of prison. Although he was wrongfully imprisoned, he was still a criminal in her parents’ eyes. Most importantly, Christopher had been married and had a son with his ex-wife.

Her parents would definitely object to their relationship.

However, Elaine knew that as long as she was insistent, her parents would give in eventually.

The only thing Elaine was not sure about was Christopher.

Elaine could sense that Christopher liked her very much. Although he was usually aloof, he was willing to accompany her to do the things that young girls liked to do. However, at times, when Christopher was focused on something else, Elaine felt very distant from him.

She could not touch or feel his presence, even when he was close to her.

Earlier, she was talking to Christopher excitedly about her mother’s birthday, hoping that he could catch her hint. Christopher merely looked out of the window as he smoked his cigarette. He appeared so detached that Elaine wondered if he had heard her.

However, his response showed that he heard what she said.

Elaine felt a little resentful about Christopher’s nonchalant attitude. She had never felt so insecure in a relationship. She started throwing a tantrum as she huffed and said, “You can tell me honestly if you don’t wish to. Don’t give me such excuses.”

Christopher looked straight ahead and turned the steering wheel. “I’m afraid I will make your mother unhappy if I appear on her birthday.”

Elaine was not appeased by Christopher’s explanation.

Christopher did not speak any further.

Seeing that Christopher did not bother to coax her, Elaine felt more confused.

She started to rationalize Christopher’s behavior.

Elaine decided that Christopher was right.

It was her mother’s birthday. If she knew that Elaine’s new boyfriend had been in prison before and was even married with a kid, she would inevitably get angry.

When they were about to arrive at Glory Tower, Elaine turned to look at Christopher. “I’ve already promised my mom that you’ll be there. How am I going to explain to her if you don’t go? Don’t worry. I’ll be around. I’ll make sure that my parents are fine with your presence.”

Originally, Elaine thought she could take control of the situation by using her mother’s birthday to test Christopher. Little did she know that she would now become the passive party.

Finally, Christopher cast a glance at Elaine and said, “I’ll go.”

With that, Elaine’s unhappiness dissipated.

The restaurant Wesley booked was not far from Glory Corporation. Yuliana had been there with her colleagues in the past..

Normally, it would take a few minutes to get to the restaurant, but it took nearly half an hour for them to get there because of the traffic jam.

It was a traditional restaurant, but it was somewhat different from the other restaurants.

Every dish was exquisite and unusual. They were suitable for a party of friends or a family of three to four. Wesley took some time off to pick Rowan up at the last minute. As he made the reservations late, all the private rooms were fully booked. They could only eat in the public dining area.

The waiter led them to the table that was reserved by Wesley.

The waiter handed the menu to Wesley, who casually handed it to Yuliana and gestured for her to order some food.

Yuliana did not stand on ceremony. She looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes. She then asked Wesley if he wanted to order anything else.

Wesley was serving water to Rowan. Hearing Yuliana’s words, he replied, “I can eat anything. Just order whatever you want.”

Hence, Yuliana ordered two more items and handed the menu to the waiter.

Rowan was probably very thirsty. He gulped down more than half a cup of water, and water was dripping from the corners of his mouth. Yuliana took a tissue to wipe his mouth. “Did you eat something that you shouldn’t eat just now?”

Rowan’s eyes rolled before turning to look at Wesley, who was sitting opposite him. Rowan said softly, Jasper said that if you marry Mr. Duncan, he can be my father.”

Yuliana and Wesley were both stunned. They looked at each other. Wesley had a meaningful look in his eyes, while Yuliana avoided his gaze subtly. She smiled at Rowan. “Do you know what marriage is?”

Rowan thought for a while and said, “Just like Jasper’s father and mother. They live together.”
