Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Is It Good?

Yuliana inquired, “What are you trying to say?”

According to Margaret’s temperament, it was impossible for her to come to Yuliana just for Zachary’s birthday party.

Margaret’s eyes were full of arrogance and complacency. “I’m guessing you can’t enter the birthday party in the Solace residence with your identity, so I came to tell you in advance.”

She suddenly took a few steps closer to Yuliana. Yuliana stood still, but the security guard was nervous and almost stepped forward to stop her.

He stopped when he noticed Margaret had stopped moving.

Margaret lowered her voice and said to Yuliana. The Solace family will announce my engagement to Christopher at the birthday party!”

Sofia called last night. Quincy had a pretty good guess, even though they didn’t say it explicitly. Apart from throwing a party for Zachary, the most important thing was to use this occasion to announce Christopher’s marriage to the rest of the world.

That was why she couldn’t help but brag in front of Yuliana.

Margaret’s heart ached when she remembered how protective Christopher was of Yuliana. However, a woman like Yuliana could only be a disgraceful mistress. Even if Christopher had feelings for her, he would not marry her!

Margaret assumed Christopher had a soft spot for her.

Otherwise, even if the two elders of the Solace family were unaware, Christopher knew that he had never slept with her, but he admitted to it. How could he be willing to suffer such a loss if he didn’t have feelings for her?

Yuliana’s brows moved slightly as she listened to Margaret’s words, and her doubts deepened.

She asked solemnly. “Are you done?”

Margaret thought it was ridiculous when she saw Yuliana pretending to be calm and pretentiously said, “Yuliana, you don’t have to be sad. I’ll introduce you to a suitable housekeeper from the Solace residence in the future! I know you want to be a part of the Solace family. Marrying a Solace residence housekeeper can still be considered achieving the same goal via a different route!”

“What are you doing here again?” A voice sounded from behind her.

Yuliana tilted her head as she heard the sound and saw Fiona approaching with several books. The latter had just returned from her class the previous period.

Margaret’s face became tense when she noticed Fiona. She didn’t need to stay here any longer now that she had said everything she needed to say and had seen Yuliana’s dejected expression.

She soon left with Scarlett.

As soon as they were gone, Fiona approached and asked, “Ms. Livingstone, what is she doing here again?”

Yuliana shrugged, as she was also confused. After giving it some thought, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Christopher: [Mr. Solace is having a birthday party?]

Christopher was in Kendrick’s office at this time.

There were some things that were found out in Romdale

Even though Christopher had left Romdale, he hadn’t been gone in vain for the past month or so. Other important departments, in addition to Cameron, dispatched personnel over here.

There were also divisions within the Solace Corporation Romdale Branch. Not everyone was used to Yorick’s nepotism, especially some practical people who had their own skills but were always suppressed by Yorick because they didn’t know how to suck up and flatter others. Instead, those with limited abilities continued to rise through the ranks.

These people had come in handy recently

The headquarters would send other people to investigate the incident, especially after Christopher was transferred away from Romdale. Yorick was rushing to erase the evidence, so he would eventually reveal his

true colors

Kendrick pinched his brows and remained silent for a while after reading the information sent from Romdale Christopher was sitting on the couch and drinking tea when his phone rang.

He took it, looked at the message, and replied: [Yes This Sunday.]

He waited a while, but Yuliana didn’t send any more messages. Christopher put away his phone and glanced at Kendrick, who was still silent.

Christopher inquired, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Kendrick clasped his hands and stared at Christopher There’s nothing wrong, but something doesn’t feel right.”

The project in Romdale was not the only recent issue for the Solace Corporation. There were also issues in other branch companies. “Why is there nothing wrong with the leadership of other branches if Yorick has shown signs of betrayal?”

In addition, with such a big project, even if Yorick had ideas of betrayal, how would he execute it?

If something happened, he would be held accountable!

Christopher sipped his coffee and casually stated, “You’re overly suspicious. You overthink everything!” Kendrick didn’t say anything. He closed the Solace Corporation Romdale Branch file and shifted another stack of documents in front of him.

Christopher stated, “The Romdale issue will be resolved once we have a thorough understanding of Yorick’s crimes over the years and have turned the pieces of evidence over to the police. Then I’ll owe you nothing. I will not meddle in the affairs of the Solace Corporation in the future.”

Associates also had to settle their debts.

Kendrick didn’t take his words seriously and went on to open other documents. “Don’t you think you’re a good fit for this job?”

Christopher rebutted, “I don’t think so.”

He slept in Kendrick’s office and drove out of the Solace Corporation Building around five o’clock to pick up Yuliana.

The final exam was scheduled for next month, with more than two weeks remaining.

Some new courses were still unfinished, and Yuliana needed to organize the materials for the final review. Because fourth grade differed from first, second, and third grades, Yuliana was busier during this time than in previous years.

It took her more than half an hour to get out of school.

It was already dark outside.

She heard a horn beep when she approached the door.

She followed the sound and came across a car parked on the side of the road.

Yuliana approached the car, opened the door, and got in. Christopher then handed her a box containing fried chicken from some influencer’s restaurant.

She froze for a moment

Last night, she just told Hailey that she wanted to eat it.

Her preferences had recently shifted. She didn’t like them before but had been craving them lately.

Christopher was playing games in the living room at that time.

Yuliana took the box and held it still

Christopher asked, “Do you not want to eat it?”

Yuliana glanced at him and said, “TII eat when we get home.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Christopher unwrapped the packaging and said, “When we get home, it’ll be cold and won’t be delicious anymore. You should eat it now.”

Then, he took a piece and fed it to Yuliana.

Yuliana hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth and taking a bite.

Christopher was feeding her a fried drumstick with a lot of meat. It had a crisp skin and tasted fresh and tender

She discovered for the first time how delicious fried chicken was.

Christopher looked at her satisfied expression, wiped the scraps from her mouth, and softly asked, “Is it delicious?”

Yuliana squinted her eyes and nodded. “It’s delicious!”

Christopher raised his eyebrows and asked, “Since it’s delicious, shouldn’t I be rewarded tonight?”

Yuliana paused and glared at him.

She turned to the side with the box of fried chicken in her arms and ignored him.

The tips of her ears were a little red.

In a blink of an eye, It was Sunday.

The day before yesterday, the Solace residence sent clothes and jewelry over. Yuliana understood what the Solace family meant after she saw them.

Yuliana was nervous. She didn’t sleep well at night and only fell asleep as dawn approached.

When she woke up, it was almost eight o’clock.

She had to do her makeup and hair later, and she was running out of time.

Yuliana hurried into the bathroom to wash up. When she was about to brush her teeth with a toothbrush, her attention was drawn to her fingers, and she noticed something new between them.
