Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Are You Divorcing Me?

Yuliana looked up like he said.

“Look toward the left.”

She then shifted her eyes toward the left.

Only then did Christopher see what was in her eye. He got closer and tried to take out that thing, but before his fingers could even touch her eye, Yuliana closed her eyes reflexively, so he couldn’t get close to her eye at all.

Holding her face in place, he said in an immensely gentle voice, “Don’t move. Your eyelash fell into your eye. I’ll help you get them out.”

They were so close to each other that Christopher’s warm breath brushed against Yuliana’s face, making her itch and feel slightly uncomfortable. She wanted to dodge it, but he was holding her chin, so she couldn’t even if she wanted.

Looking at her fluttering eyelashes, Christopher curled his lips slightly before blowing on her eyes a few times. Then, he gently brushed away the eyelash with his fingertips, and finally, the eyelash was out.

“Is it all right now?”

Yuliana blinked. The foreign body sensation had disappeared.

“Yes,” she replied with a nod.

Christopher hummed lightly in response, but he didn’t withdraw his hand that was holding her chin.

Now that Yuliana’s eyes had returned to normal, her field of vision was filled with him. With no way to hide, she could only meet his eyes. Unlike how he usually looked at her, there was a hint of curiosity in his gaze this time, as if he wanted to see through her.

She parted her lips to say something, but after a long moment, she still couldn’t.

Lowering her eyes, she concealed the emotions in her eyes. Although her expression was still calm, there was a trace of coldness.

Immediately, tension hung in the air.

“Ana.” After pausing momentarily, Christopher continued hesitantly, “About what happened today…”

Yuliana’s eyes were still lowered, but she pulled away Christopher’s hand that was gripping her chin and stared at it. “These are the hands that carried Annabelle away in front of everyone in the Solace family today. At that time, he didn’t even bother to say a word to her and left hurriedly carrying Annabelle.” she thought.

Yuliana stared at his hand for a long time before suddenly letting go of it. Then, she looked up at Christopher with her dark and bright eyes. Her black pupils were a vivid contrast with the whites of her eyes.

Curling up her lips, she smiled softly. “Christopher, did you think of me when you left with Annabelle in your arms today?”

Christopher was stunned for a moment. He met her intense gaze, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Yuliana’s smile deepened with a hint of self-mockery. “You never thought about me, didn’t you?” she declared the truth softly.

Although she already knew the answer, Yuliana still felt sad.

Looking at her expression, Christopher denied in a solemn voice, “Ana, it’s not what you think-”

“You don’t have to explain,” Yuliana interrupted. “Layla told me about you and Annabelle. From a bystander’s perspective, I can understand that, but…”

She paused as tears gathered in her eyes, making her view of the man before her suddenly blurry.

“Christopher, I regret marrying you.”

Yuliana looked away and uttered calmly.

If it was simply emotional entanglement between Annabelle and Christopher, she might still have a chance of winning him back, but he owed Annabelle a father, a life. How could Christopher possibly pay her back? Maybe she didn’t love Christopher that much as to tolerate him running around helping another woman, even

if it was for the sake of responsibility. Yuliana felt like she had walked into a dead end with Christopher.

There was no way ahead, and she didn’t want to hurt herself for a man anymore, so the only way was to turn around and walk back.

Christopher’s face darkened when he heard this, but he didn’t behave outrageously. He only stared at Yuliana for a long time, then squatted in front of her, took her hands, and said calmly, “Ana, we are already married.” “Yes, we’re already married,” Yuliana murmured as she slowly shifted her eyes onto his face. Her voice became softer and softer. “But we can divorce, right?”

Christopher’s grip on her hands tightened, and his gaze was frosty. “Are you going to divorce me?”

Yuliana pursed her lips, and her gaze on him slowly became more decisive. “I should cut my loss in time. Since nothing is going to change, I should end things between us as soon as possible,” she mused.

“Christopher…”

As soon as she called out his name, Christopher immediately reached out and covered her mouth to stop her from continuing.

Christopher’s eyes gradually softened as he stared at her for a while. He let go of Yuliana’s hand, smiled, and said, “Ana, let’s not talk about this on New Year’s Eve.”

Yuliana looked at him calmly for a long time before answering, “Okay.”

In actual fact, she hadn’t decided yet, and divorce was not as simple as just saying it. Moreover, as Christopher had said, the current time and place weren’t suitable for discussing this matter.

Seeing that Yuliana relented, Christopher squeezed her hand again and suggested, “It’s time for dinner. Let’s go downstairs.”

Yuliana nodded, got up, and followed Christopher downstairs.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Annabelle was accompanying and chatting with Zachary and Winnie. As she hadn’t fully recovered, her face was a little pale, and there was a delicate sense of beauty about her.

Upon seeing Christopher and Yuliana walk down, Winnie hurriedly told the latter to sit with her and asked Yuliana a few questions gently. However, they had only been acquainted for a short while, so Winnie inevitably spoke more politely. Instead, she seemed to be more familiar with Annabelle.

Yet, Yuliana didn’t feel uncomfortable because of this. Rather, she smiled kindly at Annabelle and asked warmly, “Are you feeling better?”

Annabelle didn’t expect Yuliana would take the initiative to talk to her. She was stunned for a moment before smiling and replying nonchalantly, “Thank you for your concern. I’m much better now.”

Yuliana said, “Allergies can be trivial or a serious matter. You should pay more attention in the future.”

Annabelle answered casually, “Okay.”

Glancing at Yuliana beside him, Christopher noticed she wore a faint smile on her face. Although she looked content and peaceful, her eyes were wandering about. Evidently, she was a little distracted.

Stretching out his arm, he wrapped it around her waist and gripped it lightly. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Yuliana looked at him silently, and their gazes met before she shifted her eyes away.

Soon, Sofia came to inform them to have dinner, and they walked toward the dining room.

All the food was ready, and the help was serving the dishes one after another.

There were only a few of them eating dinner, so they used the dining room where they usually ate.

The dining room was quite spacious, and a rectangular table stood inside. Zachary and Winnie sat at both

ends of the table, and then Kendrick and Joyce sat on one side with their son, while Christopher, Yuliana, and Annabelle sat on the other side.

Winnie asked Annabelle to sit on her right-hand side, followed by Yuliana, then Christopher.
