Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 I Am Coming At You

The area of the bar in the ancient town was not large. Before Christopher entered, the bar was playing soft and melodious folk ballads. Tourists sat in twos and threes to drink and chat, looking laid-back and comfortable.

The arrival of Christopher ruined everything.

“Stop fighting, Chris!” Raymond exclaimed. He had taken a few blows from Christopher, and seeing him beating Larry to death, Raymond panicked and did not dare to step forward.

All these years, Christopher seldom fought with others and liked to act tough when he was young and frivolous in middle school. But even then, Christopher knew what he was doing. He would at least avoid the vital parts when fighting.

However, Raymond did not know what happened to Christopher that night. They drove around the ancient town until, eventually, Christopher charged into the bar, lifted Larry from the chair, pinned him down, and started beating him. Christopher was not worried about anything at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Raymond and Leonard went up to grab Christopher several times. However, instead of stopping him, Christopher threw punches at them. At that moment, Raymond’s and Leonard’s shoulder blades, chests, and half of their faces were still hurting.

Leonard frowned at the sight of Larry, who was already weak and defenseless. He exchanged glances with Raymond, and once again, Leonard stepped forward to pull Christopher away from Larry while saying, “Chris, you have to stop beating him! If you go on, you’ll end his life!”

“Get out of my way! Mind your own business! Believe it or not, I will beat you guys up too!” Christopher coldly glanced at Raymond and Leonard with his cold eyes.

Raymond shivered at the look Christopher gave. The former gulped but did not let go. “Fuck you! Come on, beat Leonard and me to death if you can!” Raymond yelled.

“Don’t you think I’d dare?” With that said, Christopher kicked Raymond in the body.

Raymond yelled in pain while his hands were on his abdomen. “Are you serious?”

Christopher stared at Raymond coldly for a moment. Then, his gaze swept over to Leonard. “Let go of me,” Christopher said coldly.

Leonard hesitated for a second and released his hand after seeing Christopher’s expression soften a little. Just as he was about to say something, Leonard saw Xandria, who was initially anxious and standing not far away, walking toward them in fear with her phone.

When Yuliana asked Xandria to pass the phone to Christopher, he had been furiously beating Larry. Xandria did not dare to move forward toward them at all. She held in her fear and walked toward Christopher only after seeing that he had stopped for a while because Raymond and Leonard had pulled him away. However, she did not dare to get too close to them either. Xandria stood at a distance of more than three feet, handed her phone to Christopher, and stammered, “Y-Yuliana wants you to come to the phone” Christopher glanced at Xandria’s face coldly, and finally, his gaze landed on the phone, which was still connected to the call. But he did not reach out to take the phone.

Just when Xandria thought Christopher would not answer the call, he took the phone from her hand and strode right toward the bar entrance. Seeing that Christopher was making his way out, tourists standing by the door immediately scattered to both sides and made way for him.

Seeing Christopher had left, Raymond and Leonard heaved a sigh of relief. They exchanged a look and immediately went to check on Larry’s situation.

After Leonard examined Larry, Raymond hurriedly asked, “How is his condition?”

“We have to send him to the hospital immediately!” Leonard replied with a solemn expression.

Raymond glanced around the store and finally looked at the bar owner. The bar owner was also frightened and did not know how to react. It was the first time he had seen such an aggressive tourist after operating the bar for a couple of years.

When the bar owner returned to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, “There is no hospital in this town. There is a health center, so we can only send him there.”

The larger regular hospital was more than six miles away from the ancient town. It would take more than an hour to drive there at night.

Leonard and Raymond exchanged glances again. Without saying another word, Leonard helped Raymond carry Larry. Leonard then said to the bar owner, “We will compensate for the loss in the store, but please lead the way for now.”

The bar owner did not want anything to happen to Larry when he was still there. Hence, the owner nodded and answered. “Okay.”

Seeing Raymond and Leonard leave with Larry, Xandria and Kathryn could not help but follow after them. However, when they walked out of the bar, even before they stepped outside, Xandria looked around and could not find Christopher.

She ignored Christopher and trotted behind Raymond, Leonard, and the rest.

After getting out of the bar, Christopher walked into a dark alley. He looked at the phone in his hand and realized Yuliana was still on the other line. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. After the thumping in his chest slowly subsided, he pressed the phone against his ear.

“Didn’t you say I couldn’t intervene?” Christopher asked with a laugh.

Yuliana listened to the silence on his end and hurriedly asked, “How is Larry?”

Christopher bit the cigarette butt and paused for a while before saying, “He’s dead.”

“Christopher, whatever is going on between us has nothing to do with him!” Yuliana did not know whether Christopher was lying or not. She could only feel anger in her but did not have the words. “If you have any dissatisfaction, just come at me!”

“Come at you?” Christopher gritted his teeth and sneered. “Okay, I’ll come at you right now!”

He hung up the phone, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, raised his foot, and stubbed it hard. After that, Christopher walked down the alley..

Looking at the call that had ended, Yuliana was stunned. She did not know what Christopher meant, but she was still worried. After a while, she called Xandria again. However, no one answered the phone.

She called Kathryn and learned that Larry had been sent to the health center in town. The doctor was treating his wounds, and there were no life-threatening injuries. After hearing that, Yuliana was somewhat relieved.

Yuliana did not plan to go to the health center but felt uneasy. After hesitating for a while, she decided to go to the health center to see what was going on.

She changed her clothes, put on a coat, and walked to the door of the homestay with her phone. When she opened the door and was about to go out, Yuliana saw a tall black figure standing at the door, and her heart skipped a beat. Two seconds later, she saw clearly who was at the door,

Christopher chuckled. “Where are you going?”

At that moment, Yuliana obviously sensed something was off with Christopher’s aura. She subconsciously took half a step back and looked at him vigilantly.

As she retreated by a step, Christopher stepped through the doorway and was one step closer to Yuliana. Yuliana felt a bit cold and wanted to tighten her coat. However, when she looked at Christopher’s intense gaze, it was as if she was rooted to her spot and did not dare to move an inch.

After a long time, Yuliana finally found her voice and asked hoarsely, “What are you doing here?”

Christopher smiled, “Didn’t you say to come at you? Well, I’m here for you now.”

His gaze fell on her lips, and the image from earlier in the evening, when they were in the courtyard, appeared in Christopher’s mind Yuliana and Larry’s red and swollen lips. Without having to think, Christopher knew what they had just done. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Yuliana was in fear as Christopher’s gaze was fixed on her. Subconsciously, she wanted to run away.

Christopher could figure out her intention. “Don’t move.”

His voice was soft, but it scared Yuliana even more. She did not dare to move at all.

Christopher raised his hand and brushed her cheek with his fingers, his eyes unusually focused on her. There was a strange tenderness in his eyes.

Yuliana looked into his eyes and was at a loss for a moment.
