Chapter 82 Are You Stupid?
However, Yuliana could more or less guess that, with Christopher’s position, not many people dared to hurt him. As she looked at the wound on Christopher’s back, it seemed he didn’t resist the attack.
There were probably only a few people who Christopher could not resist and would willingly allow to beat
him.
During high school, it was said that Zachary and Winnie loved and spoiled their youngest son so much that they naturally didn’t want to hurt him. Kendrick, the eldest son and Christopher’s older brother, was in charge of caring for Christopher since he was a child. It must be Kendrick who had beaten Christopher.
Yuliana didn’t expect Kendrick to be so cruel to his younger brother.
The room fell silent again. Yuliana sat on the couch with her eyes drooped. Christopher remained seated on the floor and looked at her quietly.
Yuliana didn’t know what was wrong with him and why he always liked to stare at her.
The stare annoyed her, and she wanted to lash out at him.
Yuliana wanted to ignore his gaze, but she failed to do so. In the end, she couldn’t hold it anymore. She looked at Christopher with a fierce look. “Have you seen enough?”
“Not yet.” Christopher mimicked Yuliana’s tone earlier.
Yuliana looked at him with more fierceness in her eyes. She had never seen such a shameless person before. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She lifted the blanket and wanted to get off the couch, but Christopher blocked her way. “Get out of my way.”
Christopher looked at Yuliana with amusement and paused. When she was about to get angry, he moved aside to stay out of her way.
Yuliana put on her slippers and got up. She went straight into the bathroom and turned on the lights.
She intended to wash her face to clear her mind. When her gaze fell on herself in the mirror, she suddenly stopped.
The woman shown in the mirror was alluring. There was a feminine charm in her eyes and a slightly drunken blush on her cheeks which spread to her ears.
Yuliana almost didn’t know herself anymore.
She immediately turned on the faucet and splashed a handful of cold water on her face.
It was already October. The water early in the morning was slightly cold, which helped suppress her face’s dryness. When she looked into the mirror again, she seemed to look like usual again.
“Was it just an illusion?” Yuliana thought. She didn’t want to go deep into how she seemed to look different just now. She even resisted finding out about it.
She hated being out of control.
After nearly half an hour in the bathroom, Yuliana opened the door and exited.
Yuliana didn’t know where Christopher went, as she looked around and didn’t see anyone.
Just when she thought Christopher had left, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing on the balcony, which was used for hanging up and drying the laundry.
He was covered with a thin smoke. He probably stood there smoking.
Because of this, Yuliana thought that Christopher was quite thoughtful. Ever since he knew she was pregnant, he had never smoked in an enclosed space in front of her.
It was already broad daylight outside. The residential area started to become full of life. Yuliana stared at Christopher’s back for a while, and a strange emotion stirred in her mind.
She knew very well that this emotion should not belong to her and Christopher.
Yuliana mocked herself and turned toward the kitchen. She had some frozen wholemeal buns and eggs in the refrigerator. After she found out she was pregnant, she would heat up a wholemeal bun and boil an egg for breakfast most of the time. Only when she was late did she go to the breakfast shop at the gate of the residential area to buy some food.
She stood in front of the open refrigerator and hesitated for a while. She then took out two wholemeal buns and two eggs. She put the buns in the microwave and the eggs in a pot. She then started to heat the bun and boil the egg.
In the past, she would take the time to wash her face and brush her teeth or do something else, but today she stood in front of the stove and quietly watched the pot.
The relationship between men and women was a strange thing for Yuliana.
Even if she had loved a man for ten years and had been married for three years, it was just her wishful thinking. She had not really experienced intimacy between men and women before.
Yuliana clearly felt the change in her attitude toward Christopher.
This change might not reach the level of like or love, but at least she was not conflicted with Christopher’s kiss now. She didn’t resist the intimacy.
She even got addicted and enjoyed it a little.
If she could find another man, she might choose to try to be with him.
“But why does it have to be Christopher?” Yuliana couldn’t help but think of that.
After he finished smoking, Christopher stayed on the balcony for a few minutes. When the smell of cigarettes disappeared, he returned and glanced at the bathroom. The door had been opened, and Yuliana already
came out.
He heard the noise in the kitchen, so he followed and walked toward the sound. When he arrived at the door, he looked inside and saw Yuliana looking at the pot on the stove. She didn’t even react after Christopher joined her for a while.
Christopher didn’t like Yuliana’s solemn look. It made him feel that she was far away.
He couldn’t help but interrupt her thoughts. “What’s in the pot?”
Yuliana was disturbed by his voice, and she subconsciously glanced at him. After a while, she turned her eyes back to the pot. When she heard that the water in the pot was boiling, she didn’t have time to answer Christopher’s question and hurriedly reached out to uncover the pot.
Just then, hot gas emitted from the pot. The gas hit the back of Yuliana’s hand directly. She shrunk her burned hand away from the pot and subconsciously screamed in pain.
Christopher’s eyes darkened, and he immediately walked to stand in front of Yuliana. He took her hand and found that the root of her thumb was red with a burn.
“Are you stupid?” Christopher cursed coldly. He pulled Yuliana to the sink and turned on the faucet to release the cold water. He helped her rinse the burned spot with water.
Yuliana was still worried about the pot, so she hurriedly said, “Turn off the stove first.”
She didn’t add much water to the pot. She was in a daze just now and didn’t know how long the food had been cooked. She was unsure whether the water had dried.
Christopher felt exasperated by her words. He stretched out his long arm and turned off the stove. “Is it okay now?”
Yuliana glanced at him. She noticed that his face was sullen, and a frown formed between his eyebrows. However, his eyes were focused on her burned hand. He kept pressing and putting her hand in the rushing cold water.
At this moment, her heartbeat suddenly went out of control.
Yuliana didn’t dare to look anymore. She quickly moved her eyes away and struggled with her hands twice. She informed the man in a muffled voice, “My hand is fine now.”
The hand was only scalded by the hot air. The pain from earlier was not felt much now.
However, Christopher pinched her wrist tightly and glanced at her coldly. “Don’t move!”
Yuliana was stunned for a moment and finally let Christopher press her hand against the cold running water. After repeatedly rinsing for nearly five minutes, Christopher stared at the reddish skin and asked, “Do you have any medicine for burns at home?”
Yuliana shook her head. “I don’t have any, but I’m totally fine. My hand could heal without any medicine.”
Christopher was silent for a few seconds. He then opened his mouth, “Stay outside. I’ll continue to prepare
the food here.”
Yuliana looked at him and hesitated for a moment before she finally turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
She sat on the couch and looked at the burned spot on her hand. She slowly breathed out a sigh of relief.
A few minutes later, Christopher came out from the kitchen with the heated wholemeal buns and boiled eggs. He placed the food in front of Yuliana and said, “Are these all you’re having in the morning?”
