Yuliana didn’t click open the message and was even more not prepared to reply to the sender. After putting it on silent mode, she placed her phone to the side with the screen facing down.
After school, Ariel and Lexie left the office consecutively.
Fiona returned to the office after class. Seeing that Yuliana hadn’t left, she asked, “Ms. Livingstone, aren’t you going home after work?”
Yuliana replied smiling, “I haven’t finished marking some of my students’ homework yet. You should leave first. Don’t wait for me. I might be staying longer.”
Fiona nodded. She packed her things and said, “Okay, I’ll go first. See you tomorrow, Ms. Livingstone.”
She was also living in a rented apartment, which was a distance from the school. It would take her nearly an hour to get back via subway, but fortunately, there was no need to transfer.
After Fiona left, Yuliana completed her work and dawdled in the school for a while. It was almost seven o’clock when she finally packed up and left the office.
When she arrived at the school gate, Yuliana looked around subconsciously. She felt a little relieved when she didn’t spot a silver sports car.
Yuliana didn’t go home directly and headed to a nearby supermarket chain.
She had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and didn’t like to delay the matters she intended to do, whether it was regarding her career or her personal life. Yuliana had made a list a few days ago, and she decided to go to the supermarket after work yesterday. Nevertheless, Christopher’s appearance disrupted her plan.
If she didn’t fulfill her plan today, she would feel uneasy.
Upon arriving at the supermarket, Yuliana pushed a shopping cart and went to get the shower gel first. She was not very picky when it came to this particular item. The woman wasn’t concerned whether the shower gel got produced by a well-known brand. She often set her eyes on a brand and would not change it easily.
Then, she went to the section that sold tissues. It was also her habit to choose the brands and designs she commonly used. However, the tissue brand she often bought was involved in an event today. Thus, the products on the shelves below got sold out. There was no time to replenish the goods, and only the products on the top shelf were available.
Yuliana tiptoed to get the item, but she only managed to swipe her fingertips across the tissue package and couldn’t retrieve it.
She tried several times till her hands were sore, but her efforts were in vain.
When she was about to ask the supermarket staff for help, she suddenly felt something make contact from behind her. Before she could turn around to see, she saw an arm stretched out and took down a bag of
tissues.
“Do you want this?” A familiar man’s sluggish and mellow voice sounded in her ears.
Yuliana turned around and wasn’t surprised to see that the person was Christopher.
Their bodies were so close to each other this time. It was as though Yuliana was sandwiched between Christopher and the shelf.
Yuliana took the whole bag of tissues from him and moved a step aside. She said calmly with a straight face, “Thank you.”
Christopher stared at her for a moment. “Are you hiding from me?”
“No” Yuliana placed the tissues into the shopping cart. She continued to push the cart forward and headed to the area selling sanitary pads and pantyliners.
Christopher followed her unhurriedly. Yuliana glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Although it was common for females to buy these things, she felt a little uncomfortable with a relatively unfamiliar man staring at her by her side.
While Yuliana was staring at the goods on the shelf, some items were tossed into her shopping cart. After looking, she realized those were several bags of sanitary pads.
She knitted her brows as she stared at Christopher. “What are you doing?”
Christopher looked at her indifferently with his heavily-lidded eyes, “Don’t you want to get these?”
“Who said I want to get these?” Yuliana took out the bags of sanitary pads one by one. When the woman was about to put them back, she suddenly froze. She looked at the sanitary pads in her hands and noticed these belonged to the brand she usually used.
She glanced at Christopher inexplicably before putting the sanitary pads back on the shelf.
After that, she took some pantyliners and threw them into the shopping cart.
Later, Yuliana also went to buy toothpaste and laundry capsules. Finally, she went to the fruit and vegetable section to purchase some vegetables and fruits and went to the self-service checkout counter to pay for her items.
As soon as Yuliana made the payment, Christopher put the products into the shopping bags and strode out of the supermarket while carrying them with both hands.
Yuliana stood rooted to the ground quietly. She stared at Christopher’s back for a few seconds before following him.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Yuliana eventually understood why she didn’t see the silver sports car at the school gate. It was because Christopher was driving a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
On the way back, the couple lapsed into a heavy silence. Fortunately, it was only a-few-minutes’ drive from the supermarket to Maple Garden.
Christopher pulled his car over below the apartment building. He acted first by getting out of the car and taking out the shopping bags from the trunk. When Yuliana alighted from the car and closed the door, the man was already standing by the side waiting for her. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Both of them stared at each other wordlessly for two seconds. Yuliana then walked to the unit entrance, took out the access card, swiped it, and pushed the door open to enter.
Upon reaching home, Yuliana put the fruits and vegetables in the kitchen and the other daily necessities on top of the shoe cabinet close to the entrance. She planned to pack them later.
She thought, “I’d better deal with this troublesome Christopher first.”
“Have you thought things through, Christopher?” Yuliana looked at him, who was standing by the window. She continued, “We can discuss if you did.”
Christopher whirled around and stared at Yuliana soundlessly momentarily. He spoke casually. “You can give birth to the child if you want to.”
