Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 199 Do Not Divorce

Yuliana leaned over to rest her chin on Christopher’s shoulder and stared at his side profile for a while.

She used to think it was not a good thing that a man was too delicate and good-looking. But now she found that having a good look was not bad either. At least when she was in a bad mood, she could forget those unhappy things when she saw this face.

Yuliana looked at him quietly for a while. Then she picked up the towel Annabelle had thrown away, went to the bathroom to get some warm water, and wiped Christopher’s face and neck carefully.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Yuliana looked at the door in a daze, then put down the towel and opened the door. A housekeeper was standing at the door with a bowl of black things in her hand, and a strong smell of ginger filled her nostrils. Instantly, she felt nauseous but forced herself to hold back so as not to vomit.

The housekeeper smiled at Yuliana and said, “This is the hangover remedy. Mrs. Solace asked me to make it for Mr. Christopher Solace.”

Yuliana took it and said thank you.

She went into the room with the hangover remedy, put it on the table by the bed, and then went to the window to open it. After the air circulated for a while, the smell of ginger faded a little before she returned to the bed. Looking at the drunken man, she patted him on the face and said gently, “Christopher, get up and drink the hangover remedy.”

Christopher frowned, but he didn’t wake up.

Yuliana patiently called him again and again, and finally woke him up.

Christopher opened his eyes and stared at the woman by the bed. He seemed to be looking at her, or somewhere else. The lights in the room were a little bright before this, and Yuliana was afraid that he couldn’t sleep well, so she dimmed them.

At this time, the dim light shrouded him. He looked half-drunk and half-awake, like a child who just woke up.

Yuliana thought of her students.

The students slept on the tables in the classroom at noon. Every time during her lesson, they looked like him too as they just woke up after a nap. They looked at her on the podium blankly, and their minds were still empty.

She held her breath and picked up the bowl of hangover remedy, saying, “Joyce ordered someone to make hangover remedy. You’ll feel better after drinking it.”

Christopher still looked at her like that and didn’t respond.

“Christopher.”

Yuliana called his name again.

Christopher’s eyelids finally moved slightly. He propped himself up from the bed, took the bowl of hangover remedy from her hand, tilted his head backward slightly, and drank it slowly.

Yuliana watched him finish drinking and saw him put the bowl on the table beside the bed. She smiled slightly. She looked into his eyes and asked, “Didn’t you say you don’t eat ginger and parsley?”

Christopher leaned against the bed and looked at her. He didn’t answer her immediately. They looked at each other for a while before he parted his lips. “Did I say that?”

After drinking, his voice was very hoarse. With his slow speech tempo, his voice was unexpectedly melodious.

Yuliana said, “Yes.”

She didn’t dwell on this topic. She paused for a while and said, “Annabelle came here just now.”

When she said that, she looked at Christopher’s expression which did not show any changes. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

It seemed that Annabelle was just an insignificant person to him.

But that was not the case.

Yuliana was a little frustrated. Although she seemed to be full of confidence when facing Annabelle, she was insecure when facing Christopher.

Joyce’s words inspired her to fight.

She didn’t want other women to stand next to Christopher in the future. She also hoped that years later, she and Christopher would have some exclusive spice of their married life like Joyce and Kendrick.

That kind of life made Yuliana yearn for it, so she still wanted to fight for it.

Yuliana looked into Christopher’s eyes and said, “Christopher, do you remember the agreement we signed before we got our marriage certificate? You chose to be a normal couple with me, so can I make some reasonable demands of you?”

Christopher was a little distracted by her gentle voice. He did drink too much at night. Especially after Yuliana and Joyce left, he drank the rest of the wine. Although he was still awake, he was dizzy and couldn’t stand properly.

Kendrick had carried him back to his room.

Under the influence of alcohol, he quickly fell asleep after lying down. He vaguely felt someone coming in, but he was dizzy and his head hurt. He couldn’t open his eyes at all, and then he vaguely heard someone talking. But he couldn’t hear what they said.

He was still dizzy and tipsy after being woken up by Yuliana. So, while listening to Yuliana’s words, he didn’t really think through it at all. He only felt that her voice was particularly nice.

He found her voice comfortable.

He opened his mouth and shouted, then leaned over slightly, held Yuliana’s wrist, and pulled her over.

Yuliana fell on his chest. His arms wrapped around her back with certain force and tightness, making her uncomfortable. However, she didn’t struggle. She simply let him hold her quietly in his arms.

Christopher pressed his lips against her head and said in a dull voice, “Let’s not get a divorce, okay?”

Yuliana was silent for a moment. She sniffed the smell of Christopher. She used to smell a faint smell of sandalwood from Christopher. But today, the faint smell of sandalwood disappeared probably because of the alcohol and hangover remedy.

She thought of what Layla told her this afternoon.

At that time, Christopher was only six years old and was still in kindergarten. Since Winnie gave birth to Christopher, she had been in poor health and could not take care of Christopher at all as she was frequently hospitalized. Zachary and Kendrick were busy, and Layla was young. At that time, Christopher was picked up to and from school by drivers and was taken care of by the housekeeper when he was at home.

It happened just after school. The driver was late to school to pick up Christopher because of an accident on the road. After all the children were picked up by their parents, Christopher was still waiting at the door.

The criminal rushed to Christopher with a knife. Seeing the scene, the kindergarten’s security guard and others didn’t dare to step forward at all. When Annabelle’s father picked up her from school, he happened to witness the incident and risked his life to save Christopher from the knife. In the end, Daryl sustained a fatal injury when he shielded Christopher from the knife and could not be saved.

Christopher underwent psychological treatment for more than a year. Although he gradually recovered, he was still greatly traumatized. He had insomnia and nightmares for a long time. Later, Winnie took Christopher to the church to live for some time before his condition improved.

For a child that was only a few years old, religion was still effective.

Yuliana put her hand on his chest and felt his heartbeat. Her eyes suddenly became a little teary. She swallowed hard and said, “Okay.”
