Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 427 Here You Go Again
Christopher parted his thin lips and said, “I’m telling you this in the hope that you let the matter slide. No matter what happened
to Aunt Sabrina, you ought to stop getting to the bottom of it. Otherwise, given your relationship with her, you’d most likely be
dragged into it.”
He paused to think for a bit before continuing on a serious note, “I’m only saying this for your own good, Yuliana.”
Those words seemed laughable in Yuliana’s ears. Still, she could not put on even a faint smile. “Oh, really? Should I thank you
for that, then? Drop whatever goodwill you may have for me. I don’t need any of it!” she sneered. Her expression was grim, but
her tone was icy
She walked out of Sabrina’s room upon dropping her remark.
Christopher did not stop her that time around
After freezing on the spot for quite some time, he went after her.
Yuliana went downstairs and headed straight to the exit. She was all ready to depart from the place.
Although she had no plans to leave Yrinas for the time being, that building would be the last place she would consider staying for
the night. In fact, embarrassing memories from the night before had popped into her head the second she stepped inside a while
ago.
A wave of suffocation assailed her heart when she thought about it.
If it had not been for trying to get any leads that Sabrina might have left, Yuliana would never have stepped into the building
again in such a short time frame.
Christopher ran toward Yuliana until she finally stopped by her car on the roadside.
As soon as Yuliana opened the car door, Christopher slammed it shut. “Where are you going?”
“Must I report it to you?” stated Yuliana nonchalantly, her expression gloomy.
Christopher stared at Yuliana for a couple of seconds before letting out a chuckle. “No, but wherever your destination might be,
I’m coming with you.”

As Yuliana caught sight of Christopher’s smug visage, her rage seemed to boil to no end. The longer her gaze lingered on his
face, the more disgusted she felt. She raised her hand abruptly and flung her palm across Christopher’s cheek. It was as though
she had lost all control of herself.
“You’re so shameless!” Yuliana fumed through gritted teeth.
After slapping Christopher, she could not stop her fingers from trembling, and even her whole body was quivering involuntarily.
Christopher did not feel much pain after being slapped, but he could feel a slight burning sensation around his cheek.
In all honesty, right before Yuliana landed her palm on his face, Christopher could have dodged the slap or even stopped her
altogether.
But he had chosen to do none of that.
Lowering his gaze, Christopher looked at Yuliana’s trembling hand that had just slapped him, and then he went against her will to
grab her by the wrist before prying her fingers open. Right in front of his eyes was Yuliana’s reddened palm. Most likely, her hand
hurt more than his face.
After a while, he raised his chin and looked into Yuliana’s eyes. “Next time, if you ever feel like smacking me, don’t do it yourself.
Just say the word, and I’ll slap myself in front of you as many times as you wish, as long as you’re happy.”
Yuliana looked back at him and fell into a short daze. Soon enough, she regained composure and retracted her hand from his
grip. “Psycho,” she cursed in a low voice and turned to look away.
Just like that, the duo kept mum and stood there for quite some time.
It was then Lucinda raised her voice and called out to Yuliana from the entrance, “Hey, Kiddo!”
Yuliana directed her line of sight toward the source of the voice, only to find Lucinda sitting on a chair at the door with her
grandson in her arms. Mustering a smile on her face, Yuliana hummed a response and approached Lucinda’s house right away.
Christopher slowly followed Yuliana, distancing himself a couple of steps away.
Yuliana side-eyed Christopher behind her, feeling annoyed. She had no idea what she was going to do with
him.

Yuliana got closer and gazed at the boy, Yohan Rogers, in Lucinda’s embrace. “Yohan, is it?”
The boy must have just woken up not too long ago, for he appeared rather unenergetic, holding the milk. bottle with both hands
and slurping the milk. However, his eyes lit up as he stared at Yuliana and Christopher.
“Yes, he’s Yohan!” Lucinda replied with a smile. “He’s so naive and timid and not as good-looking as your son. They’re both the
same age, but your son can already speak well. This little one here, though, stammers a lot.”
Lucinda might have grumbled about Yohan, but it was as clear as day that she sounded nothing less than affectionate toward her
grandson.
Yuliana reached out and touched Yohan’s toe. “Nah... I bet it’s nothing like that. This sweetheart of yours must be the precious
darling in his parents’ eyes. Yohan’s so adorable.”
Because Yuliana was a mother, she could not help being gentle and sweet to Yohan, who was about the same age as Rowan.
A kid that young had a future ahead of him, after all. His life was only beginning.
Lucinda glanced at Christopher behind Yuliana and said with a smile, “That young lad over there is your husband, isn’t he? Your
son looks exactly like him.”
Yuliana’s smile instantly stiffened. Not a word escaped from her lips.
“It’s good to see you, Mrs. Rogers,” Christopher was the first to pipe up cheekily.
“No wonder your son’s so handsome! He must owe it to his genes! Tsk, tsk. What a dashing father-and-son duo!” praised
Lucinda as she pinned her gaze on Christopher.
Despite the anger deep down, Yuliana dared not overreact nor express her displeasure. All she did was pull a joke. “Why can’t
the credit go to me, Mrs. Rogers? Are my genes really that bad?”
“Who said that? I’ll be the first to disagree!” replied Lucinda solemnly. “I’ve watched you grow into this fine lady that you are now,
Kiddo. There’s never another girl in this entire neighborhood who can compete with you. I already knew you were blessed when
you were still a child.”
Yuliana merely grinned at the compliments.
“Me? Blessed? I hope so,” she mused.

Yuliana stood there and chatted with Lucinda for a while. She then bade the latter goodbye and was about to leave.
Lucinda invited Yuliana and Christopher to stay for breakfast, but Yuliana turned down the offer.
Once again, Christopher trailed on Yuliana’s footsteps as they paced toward the car parked on the side of the road.
Christopher was like a puppy following its master, keeping a distance of about two to three steps and never too far away as he
walked behind Yuliana.
When they got to the car, Yuliana wheeled around and shot Christopher a frosty glare. “If you follow me again, I’ll call the police
and sue you for sexual assault!”
“Was it a sexual assault, as you mentioned?” Christopher narrowed his eyes to slits as his Adam’s apple bobbed. “I thought you
also felt good about it,” he added softly.
Yuliana gnashed her teeth and bellowed, “You’re so shameless!”
“You’ve already called me that just now. Why don’t you call me something new?” Christopher laughed cynically.
That left Yuliana at a loss for words.
“Get lost, you!” she chided.
With that, Yuliana opened the car door and hopped into the car. Sadly, when she was about to close the door, Christopher
managed to lean in and snatch the key from her.
Immediately afterward, he shut the car door for her, went around the car, and slid into the passenger seat.
Only then did he plug in the car key.
As Yuliana saw what Christopher had done thus far, immense frustration inundated her, but she had nowhere. to vent her
feelings.
She pounded the steering wheel hard with both hands and yelled at Christopher, totally out of control, “What the hell do you want
from me?”
For a moment, Yuliana felt as if she acted nothing more like a hysterical shrew.

Be that as it might, controlling her emotions was no longer an option for her at that point. There was nothing. she could do other
than shout at Christopher.
“Can’t you just let me go?” Yuliana’s eyes turned red with fury as she eyed Christopher and pleaded, “Stay away from me, will
you? I’m begging you I don’t want to see you I even feel suffocated when you’re around. What more do you want from me,
Christopher? Is it that fun for you to pick on me like this?”
The more words Yuliana blurted out, the more aggrieved she felt. Worse still, her tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke.
The look she flashed Christopher, and her teary, reddened eyes seemed to shine with utter indignation.
Christopher stretched out his hand and tried to wipe Yuliana’s tears off, but she waved her hand to shove his hand away.
She turned her head to look outside the window. Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and whispered, “You’re always like this...”
“Ana-”
Yuliana immediately interrupted, “No! Don’t talk! Don’t even say a word!”
With that, Christopher gawked at the back of her head and said nothing.
