Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 208

Chapter 208 So What?

Sensing Yuliana’s gaze on him, Christopher looked at her. Immediately, his eyes glinted mischievously.

Sarah saw the interaction between the two and interrupted them with a smile. “Yuliana, Christopher, let’s go in and talk instead of standing here. My father and Mrs. Xanthos are waiting for you!”

Yuliana nodded, and she and Christopher followed Sarah inside.

When they arrived at the door, they saw Callie walking out with Isaac beside her. At the sight of Yuliana, Callie paused. The next moment, she smiled and opened her arms from a distance while quickly walking toward Yuliana. Upon approaching Yuliana, Callie hugged her.

“Ana, I missed you so much.”

Callie’s voice sounded bitter. The emotions her voice revealed touched Yuliana slightly.

Yuliana and Callie hadn’t seen each other for several years, but the former did not miss Callie a lot. Yet now that Yuliana was being hugged by Callie, Yuliana remembered her childhood days.

Callie was an ambitious and career-oriented person. After giving birth to Yuliana, she only took half a month’s rest before devoting herself to work again. Callie wasn’t home most of the time, which made Yuliana unhappy. The young Yuliana couldn’t understand why other children’s mothers could accompany them, but her mother couldn’t

Therefore, every time Callie came home, Yuliana would deliberately throw a tantrum. However, Callie never coaxed Yuliana and allowed the latter to lose her temper. After Yuliana calmed down, Callie would then hold Yuliana in her arms and explain why she couldn’t accompany Yuliana.

Callie liked perfume. Yuliana remembered that there were always various perfumes on Callie’s vanity table, and all of them smelled great. Whenever Callie wasn’t home and the young Yuliana missed her, Yuliana would spray Callie’s perfume on the blanket so that it would feel like Callie was by her side when she slept.

It made Yuliana feel at ease.

Back in the present, Yuliana patted Callie’s back to comfort her. “I missed you too.”

Seeing this scene, Sarah smiled a bit sarcastically.

After hugging for a while, Yuliana and Callie let go of each other. Then Yuliana looked at Isaac and nodded at him with a smile. “Mr. Xanthos.”

Isaac looked at Yuliana sentimentally. He rubbed her head like how he did when she was a child and said, “1 haven’t seen you for a few years. You’re such a grown-up now.”

The last time Yuliana met Isaac was during the summer vacation of her junior year at university.

Next, Callie and Isaac looked at Christopher, who was behind Yuliana. Unexpectedly, Yuliana felt a little nervous. It was the first time she was taking Christopher to see her elders. Not only that, they had already gotten their marriage certificate, and she was now pregnant.

Yuliana’s attitude now was totally different compared to when she faced Sarah calmly earlier.

Just as Yuliana was about to introduce Christopher to Callie and Isaac, Christopher stepped forward and took Yuliana’s hand. Looking at Christopher, Yuliana saw him smiling politely as he said, “Mrs. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos. My name is Christopher Solace. I apologize for only coming to meet you with Ana today.”

Before they came here, they had discussed how to address the elders.

Callie glanced at Yuliana’s and Christopher’s intertwined hands and smiled. “It’s fine. As long as you are nice to my daughter, it doesn’t matter if you meet us or not.”

Isaac chimed in, “Come on in. You must be tired after several hours of flight. The room has been arranged. You can rest there first and come down later at lunchtime.”

With that, he shot Sarah a look. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Sarah hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Yuliana, let me take you to your room.”

Hearing that, Yuliana glanced at Callie. Callie explained, “We have a lot of guests today, and I may not be able to take care of you all the time. It’s inconvenient for you to move around now, so go to your room and rest first I will go upstairs to check on you later.”

Yuliana nodded and went to the guest room on the third floor with Sarah.

Sarah didn’t stay for a long time. After exchanging some pleasantries, she went downstairs.

Yuliana had been running around these days, and she was indeed a little tired. In fact, she didn’t have a good rest last night because she had to pack her things while preparing the gifts she would be giving to Callie and Isaac here at Jeahron. Now, she could finally sit down and rest for a while.

As soon as Sarah went downstairs, she saw Queenie Hoffman walking over

“Your stepmother’s daughter and son-in-law are here?”

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t I see them?

Sarah glanced upstairs and said, “I just walked them upstairs. They’re resting in the room.”

Queenie and Sarah had known each other since they were young. They had been best friends since childhood, and it could be said they were closer than sisters. Now that Sarah was engaged to Kaiden Hoffman, the elder brother of Queenie, the two women were even more closely related.

Therefore, Queenie was well aware of everything about the Xanthos family.

Having met Yuliana before, Queenie clicked her tongue and remarked, “Are they hiding in the room right after coming here because her husband is too average to be shown to others?”

Hearing those words, Sarah laughed. “You’re wrong! I don’t know what’s so charming about Yuliana that she can still marry a rich man after getting divorced before. I have to admit her husband is quite good-looking.” Queenie raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Really?”

Sarah was not very particular with looks. She judged men by their identity and status. If a man did not have a high social status, it was useless to Sarah no matter how handsome he was. Since Sarah mentioned that Christopher was good-looking, it must mean he was quite attractive.

Sarah shrugged and said, “You’ll find out if it’s true or not when you see him later.”

Christopher and Yuliana rested in the room for a while, and then Callie came and led them downstairs. The Xanthos family had invited their relatives and the Hoffman family to the banquet.

Sarah and Kaiden would be getting married in the first half of the year. In addition, the two families had always had a good relationship, so the Xanthos family invited the Hoffman family.

Most of the Xanthos family members had seen Yuliana, but it was Christopher’s first time here. Callie took the couple to meet the elders of the Xanthos family one by one, and then Sarah led the couple to meet their peers

When Sarah brought Christopher and Yuliana to the game room, Kaiden, Queenie, and two other peers from the Xanthos family were playing cards.

Sarah briefly introduced them to each other.

Kaiden asked, “Mr. Solace, do you play cards? Care to join us?”

“Sure.”

Christopher grinned and led Yuliana over by the hand.

“Perfect. I’m not good at playing anyway.” Queenie immediately stood up from her seat and smiled at Christopher. “You sit on my spot. I’ll just watch from the side for a while.”

Christopher thanked Queenie and sat down on the chair.

Just then, a housekeeper moved a chair over and placed it next to Christopher before motioning for Yuliana to sit down. After thanking the housekeeper, Yuliana sat down next to Christopher.

Meanwhile, Queenie approached Sarah and stared at the man beside Yuliana from a distance for a moment. Then she smiled and commented, “He is indeed good-looking. He’s my type.”

Shooting Queenie a glance, Sarah said, “So what if he’s your type? He and Yuliana have already gotten their marriage certificate. They’ll probably be having their wedding this year as well.”
