Chapter 98 Sit Still

Yuliana couldn’t look away from Christopher. Even her heart beating faster and faster felt like it almost jumped out of her chest.

The tension between them had reached its peak, but at this moment, someone’s phone suddenly went off.

It was Yuliana’s phone. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Yuliana suddenly came back to her senses then. Her breath seemed to hitch when she reached to press a hand against the man’s chest. “Let’s pause for a bit. I have to take the call. We can continue with our talk later.”

Christopher grabbed her hand and peered at her with his lowered gaze. “We can pause, no problem, but you have to pay the price, hmm?”

Yuliana didn’t say anything. She didn’t understand what he meant.

Seeing her confused expression, he pressed his thin lips together and teased with a smile, “I’ll let you answer the phone if you kiss me.”

Yuliana couldn’t help staring at him when she heard this. “We haven’t struck a deal yet.”

“We can sign a ‘subject to contract’ agreement first,” said Christopher.

Yuliana started to grow angry and anxious as she listened to the continuous ringing of her phone. It felt like Christopher was taking advantage of the situation.

But on second thought, a peck wasn’t that big of a deal, considering how they had shared a bed before.

ana sat up straight and raised her head before she pressed a chaste kiss at the corner of Christopher’s

-lips. “Are we done?” she asked.

Christopher looked at her for a while without saying a word before he withdrew his arms and sat back languidly.

Yuliana didn’t dare look at him again after that. She then picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was from one of her student’s parents.

She was about to answer the phone when she glanced at Christopher. In the end, she brought her phone with her to a room and lightly closed the door after she went in.

She gave her students a simple quiz last week, and the results came out on Monday. The parent calling her was the parent of a student who did poorly on this quiz compared to the previous one. She could already guess the call’s purpose before answering the phone.

“Jonathan has his basics down. However, he has recently seemed more distracted in class and has not been proactive in answering questions as before. He only sits quietly in his seat after class and does not engage with his classmates. The unsatisfactory quiz score from last week might have something to do with his attitude in class,” Yuliana explained to the parent..

In fact, even if Jonathan’s mother, Mina, didn’t call her, she would have contacted her within the next two days.

Yuliana had noticed how Jonathan wasn’t himself after Independence Day. He was in the fourth grade now. He was more mature than kids his age, and even though he was only in his teens, he already understood many things about life. Having too much to dwell on must have been why it was difficult for the boy to focus. on studying.

She was worried that Jonathan would be beyond saving if she didn’t intervene in time.

Mina was quiet for a moment before she whispered, “Thank you for telling me this, Ms. Livingstone.”

“Did something happen to Jonathan?” Yuliana hesitantly asked.

Mina sighed. “His father and I have been handling divorce procedures recently. We kept it from him, but he somehow found out.”

Yuliana didn’t know what to say to that.

It was impossible for the parents’ affairs not to affect the children.

Just like when Damian and Callie had a divorce, she, too, had a hard time that lasted for a while. She was a few years older than Jonathan then.

Yuliana eventually suggested, “Jonathan is a sensible boy at school. As his parents, I hope you and his father can properly discuss It with him. He may understand where you are coming from. I will also take some time to communicate with him.”

“Alright.” Mina was grateful. “Thank you, Ms. Livingstone.”

“You’re welcome. Jonathan is my student. This is my duty as his teacher,” said Yuliana.

After talking to Mina, Yuliana stood quietly for a minute.

A warm body suddenly enveloped her before a warm breath fanned the shell of her ear. “Your phone call ended. Can we continue with our conversation?” The pink in her cheeks that had just faded came back again. instantly.

Yuliana pulled away the palm on her waist before turning around and looking at him as sternly as she could. “We’ll talk if you want to talk. Don’t get all handsy now.”

She didn’t understand why Christopher liked touching her so much.

“Is this how he acts in front of other women as well?”

The thought put a frown on Yuliana’s face, and she left him behind and walked out of the room.

Christopher swiftly followed her out. Yuliana was about to sit on the couch, but the man quickly plopped down first. Seeing this, she went to sit on the double-seater couch beside them, only for Christopher to bold her by her waist and press her onto his lap.

“Christopher!” Yuliana glared at him with angry eyes.

“Ahem. You said you want to be a normal couple with me, Yuliana. It’s normal for normal couples to hug each other. I see how uncomfortable you are about it. I’m just trying to get you used to it in advance!” said Christopher.

Yuliana didn’t say anything to that, but she knew this was only his excuse to take advantage of her!

Yuliana struggled against him again, but the man’s strength was too strong for her to get up.

Suddenly, Christopher warned in a low voice, “Stop moving!”

Yuliana glanced at him, and it took her a long second to notice how tense the muscles on his thighs were. He also had a grim expression on his face.

Anger and shame instantly washed over her at the moment of realization. “I want to get up!” she said and hissed.

Instead, Christopher’s hold around her waist tightened as he warned, “Sit still, or I’ll go all the way right now.
