Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 365

Chapter 365 He Cares About You

Yuliana pushed Wesley away, and he let go of her.

Yuliana regained her composure. She was about to say something when she noticed a figure standing not far away. There was a cigarette between his fingertips, and the sparks flickered.

Wesley looked in her direction and said, “Mr. Solace, it’s been a while.”

The corners of Christopher’s lips twitched, and he walked toward them. “Yes, I haven’t seen you for a while. Mr. Duncan, you look busy.”

Right after he spoke, Christopher glanced at Yuliana.

Yuliana avoided his gaze. Her lips felt incredibly warm.

Wesley said, “Mr. Solace, may we have a good time working together in the future.”

Christopher looked down at him and said with a smile, 1 have a business deal for you, but I’m afraid you can’t handle it, Mr. Duncan.”

Wesley said, “Mr. Solace, you’re not the one who can decide if I can handle it or not.”

Yuliana didn’t bother to listen to their words. She immediately went into the manor.

Hailey was playing with Rowan on the mat by the window.

When Hailey saw Yuliana come back, she hurriedly stood up and asked, “Is it raining?”

“No.” Yuliana then asked, “When did Christopher come?”

Hailey’s expression changed slightly. She wasn’t sure how Yuliana had known that Christopher was there. Yuliana had mentioned to her that Rowan shouldn’t come into contact with Christopher again, and she had agreed with it.

However, when Christopher came to see Rowan at noon, Hailey had let Christopher in.

“Mommy, Mr. Coke bought me a beautiful car!” Rowan held the car in front of him with both hands. It was made with Lego blocks.

Yuliana was sulky when she saw Rowan’s happy face. She looked unhappy.

When Hailey noticed Yuliana’s expression, she quickly said, “Yuliana, don’t be angry. I won’t let him contact Roe anymore. I promise you.”

Upon seeing that Yuliana remained silent, Hailey continued, “Chris stayed for a while. He left after playing with Lego with Roe.”

“He left?” Yuliana wondered. “Then, who was the person standing outside the door?”

Yuliana was not only unhappy about Christopher’s presence. She breathed out slowly and said to Hailey. “Hailey, go get some food. Wesley is outside. I suppose he hasn’t taken his meal. I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes.”

“Okay.”

Yuliana went upstairs. She stood in front of the dressing mirror and stroked her lips with her fingers.

She still felt Wesley’s warm lips.

As Wesley had said, she didn’t resist him that much.

However, she didn’t think it was because she had a different feeling for Wesley.

To be fair, although Wesley was not a very handsome man, he had a prominent jawline and deep-set features. Besides, he had a perfect figure.

Moreover, she was no longer a naive young girl. It was only normal for her to have such a desire.

Yuliana put away her thoughts. After she had changed her clothes, she didn’t immediately go downstairs. Instead, she went to the study room where she could see the entrance. She hid behind the window and saw Christopher leaving in his car.

At night, Yuliana was sleeping in a daze when she smelled a strange fragrance.

She frowned and tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy. She mustered all of her strength to lift

her eyelids.

She felt as if her limbs had been nailed to the bed. She couldn’t move at all.

She couldn’t quite clear up her mind.

She barely saw a shadow sitting by the bed. The next moment, she felt warm fingers brushing past her face. That person’s fingers were rough and scratched her skin.

Yuliana instinctively shuddered.

After a while, the figure stood up. She then felt her back sink slightly. After that, something was glued to her back and wrapped around her tightly.

“Ana, you are mine!”

Yuliana sat up from the bed, startled, and looked around her room. Her chest pounded heavily.

She was inside her bedroom.

Yuliana pulled her hair and breathed slowly.

It was just a nightmare.

After she had calmed herself down, she looked out of the window. The weather was clear after the rainstorm yesterday evening. The early morning sunshine shone through the window.

Yuliana lifted the quilt and got out of bed. When she was about to go to the bathroom, she paused mid- stride and looked out the window again.

Two seconds later, she walked to the bathroom.

There was a business reception on Saturday.

It was held by the official department. The well-known entrepreneurs and senior executives in Juxshire were invited. Even the relevant leaders would attend the event.

Glory Corporation received the invitation.

Yuliana had originally planned to let Craig attend the event. However, Craig faced a problem in his current project. Hence, he had to go to the city again. The business event was crucial. If she were absent, it would demonstrate a lack of regard for the official department.

Therefore, she had to take a trip down there.

The reception was divided into two parts. The official department would organize a meeting at noon. The heads of each enterprise would make their speeches and put forward suggestions. The official department would also raise some issues that needed to be improved from the past.

The reception would be held at night.

She would inevitably meet some acquaintances on such occasions.

In the middle of the afternoon meeting, Yuliana went to the restroom and bumped into Layla.

They had seen each other when they arrived at the reception. However, they didn’t speak to each other.

It was clear to see that Layla had followed Yuliana into the restroom, then waited for the latter to come out. “Ms. Solace.” Yuliana took the initiative to greet Layla. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Layla chuckled. “I thought you were going to pretend that you don’t know me.”

Yuliana had returned to Juxshire for a year and had participated in various activities. She had met Layla several times, but neither of them talked to the other person.

There was no grudge between her and Layla.

Christopher was the only reason that stood between them.

Layla had taken the initiative to look for Yuliana because of Christopher.

“I’ll wait for you outside. Let’s talk.”

After saying that, Layla went out of the restroom.

There was a half-hour break during the meeting. Yuliana and Layla found a quiet place and sat down together.

Layla stared at Yuliana for a moment and said, “Yuliana, you have changed a lot.”

She didn’t mean Yuliana’s changes in appearance but the change in her temperament from inside to outside. “You’re getting more like your mother,” Layla said.

Layla had met Yuliana’s mother and had dealt with her in recent years because of business affairs.

Two years ago, the Solace family had fallen apart and was divided up. Layla held less than one percent of Solace Corporation’s shares.

Even so, she had insisted on running Solace Corporation.

She hoped Christopher would help her.

Yuliana didn’t respond much to Layla’s words. She asked, “Ms. Solace, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Layla didn’t immediately tell her everything. She drank the water placed in front of her, lowered her eyes, and put her hands on her knees. After a while, she said, “I want you to help me persuade Christopher.”

Yuliana was confused. “Ms. Solace, Christopher and I have divorced.”

“I know,” Layla said. “But he cares about you. He will listen to you.”
