Christopher can’t help but sneer.
He added two seconds later, ‘Size ten.”
Yuliana was about to sit down, but she paused and looked at his feet upon hearing this.
The man had ankle-length black socks on. She noticed how thin and slender his ankles and soles were. Compared to her legs, they were ridiculously long. Seeing him awkwardly squeeze his feet in the slippers did seem a little funny.
It was no wonder that his heels were outside the slippers.
She was a size five and a half, but she had always gotten slippers that were bigger because of how comfortable they were.
However, Christopher’s feet were too big for the slippers, and Yuliana’s feet were too thin for the slippers to fit her. She left the pair in her shoe cabinet because she couldn’t be bothered with returning them, and she thought they might come in handy someday.
She never expected that Christopher would be the one to use them.
Yuliana didn’t say anything. After sitting down, she pondered for a while before looking at Christopher sitting on the couch next to her.
“Do you still mean what you said yesterday?”
Christopher lowered his eyes as he focused on his feet. The slippers were light pink, which he could tell at a glance that they were for women. He was still thinking about whether to mention how his favorite
color was black when Yuliana suddenly spoke.
He looked up at Yuliana. “Why would I be here otherwise?”
Hearing that, Yuliana breathed a sigh of relief but soon frowned again. “Will your family agree to the marriage?”
Christopher’s family included his parents and eldest brother, Kendrick.
Christopher smiled. “Yuliana, are you marrying my family or me? Is it so important that they agree or not?”
“Of course, it is,” Yuliana thought to herself.
Even if Yuliana and Christopher got married, their life together wouldn’t be peaceful if his family didn’t give their blessing.
When Yuliana didn’t say anything, Christopher hesitated for a while before he told her casually, “Just stop dealing with them if you are worried. It’s not like you’ll be living with them. Besides, they are not as scary as you think.”
Unlike Kendrick, the rest of the Solace family weren’t a problem for Yuliana.
Christopher actually couldn’t quite figure Kendrick out. However, he ended up not saying a word about it after careful consideration, despite feeling something was off.
Yuliana thought that Christopher was only saying this to comfort her.
After all, Winnie’s attitude toward her when she went to Christopher that night was pretty obvious to her. As Kendrick was the head of this generation’s Solace family, every decision was based on what was best for the Solace family. They wouldn’t agree to Yuliana marrying Christopher.
However, what Christopher said was fairly reasonable. As long as they minimized contact, the probability of disagreement between them could be lowered.
But the attitude of Christopher’s family wasn’t the most important.
Yuliana’s solemn gaze stayed on Christopher for a while before she asked, “What about you and Annabelle? What if you regret it someday after you impulsively marry me to take revenge on her?”
She remembered what Callie said last night.
Any marriage was risky, and Christopher still cared for Annabelle.
Since she couldn’t change, she could only defend her interests as much as she could.
Christopher swiftly met Yuliana’s eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
Yuliana pursed her lips and replied, “You have two options. One, we have an agreement to have a fake marriage for me to save my child and for you to retaliate against Annabelle. You and I won’t be involved with each other in any way as long as we are married. We can have our divorce at the right time. The only thing I want is the child. Two…”
She paused for a moment as her lips tightened. “We marry just like all normal couples do. However, during our marriage, you cannot have any improper relationship with other women, including Annabelle. I have the right to file for divorce otherwise. At the same time, I will have custody over the child, and you will leave the marriage with nothing!”
Yuliana thought that Christopher would choose the first option.
After all, the second one did not benefit Christopher.
Yuliana felt somewhat nervous when Christopher only quietly stared at her with his cold. eyes.
After a while, Christopher suddenly got up and walked to Yuliana. He then held both sides of the couch with his arms and loomed over her.
Yuliana became increasingly nervous. Wondering if she had gone too far just now, she blabbered, “If you don’t agree, just pretend that I didn’t say what I said.”
Christopher continued to smile and look at her without saying a word. Suddenly, he raised his hand and rubbed her earlobe, turning her fair earlobe red in an instant.
Yuliana quickly pushed his hand away and shrank into the couch. “Don’t touch me.” She looked at him uneasily.
Christopher quirked his eyebrows and said, “Normal couples touch each other, don’t they?”
“We are not a couple yet!” Realization hit Yuliana as soon as she refuted his words, and she looked at the man in front of her with confused eyes.
She hesitated for a moment before she asked, “You mean…”
As they looked at each other, Christopher’s cold eyes began to darken while Yuliana’s face started turning
warm.
“How about we first practice acting like a normal couple?”
