Chapter 204 You Have Quite A Temper
Yuliana stared at Christopher’s hair whorl for a while, then reached out and touched it. She said, “Do you want to go and see Annabelle? She seems something off today.”
After getting off the plane, Yuliana noticed that not only Christopher was something off, but also Annabelle. Christopher stopped and looked up at her. “Don’t you want me to keep a distance from her?”
Yuliana lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and smiled faintly. “I hope you can keep a distance from her. But now are particular situations, so I allow you to visit her, but it can’t be too long.”
As Yuliana spoke, she raised her eye and looked into Christopher’s eyes. She smiled innocently and said, “Ten minutes? Is that enough?”
Christopher was slightly agitated in his heart as if there was a wave in a calm lake. He said, “Ten minutes is not enough.”
Yuliana frowned and thought for a while. She said hesitantly, “Then… Fifteen minutes? Is that enough?”
“Not enough,” Christopher replied as he shook his head. Christopher held back his smile as he lowered his head and focused on massaging her feet.
Upon hearing that, Yuliana was a little unhappy. She subconsciously stamped her feet softly. The water splashed out from the foot basin, and some were on Christopher’s face.
Both of them were stunned. After Yuliana returned to her senses, she quickly bent down and reached out to wipe Christopher. She explained anxiously, “Well… I didn’t mean to.”
Christopher grabbed her hand and kissed it. He said, “Ana, you have quite a temper.”
“Why are you so unhygienic?” Yuliana withdrew her hand vigorously. Her hand had just wiped the dirty water on Christopher’s face.
“Why is it unhygienic? Am not I kissed your feet before?” Christopher lowered his head again and looked at Yuliana’s feet. He said, “Ana, you’re considered tall among girls. But why are your feet so small?”
Hearing what Christopher said, Yuliana looked down at her feet and asked, “Are my feet small?”
Yuliana’s shoe size was five and a half, which was not small, but she had a small frame. Even if flesh were on her feet, they were visually narrow and delicate. However, her toes were round, adding some naivety inexplicably to them.
Yuliana always thought her toes were ugly, so she didn’t wear shoes with exposed toes on non- essential occasions in summer.
“I can grab them with one hand. Aren’t they small?” After Christopher finished speaking, he tried to grab Yuliana’s feet and held them easily.
Yuliana stopped arguing with Christopher and said seriously, “You can go now.”
Christopher said casually, “Where should I go?”
Yuliana looked at him and paused. “Go to Annabelle.”
“I’m not going.” Christopher picked up the towel from a side and wiped her feet. He continued, “I was teasing you just now. She doesn’t want to see me right now. So there’s no need for me to go there.”
Yuliana was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “Why?”
Christopher lowered his head and his eyes. So Yuliana couldn’t see the emotions in Christopher’s eyes. His expression was very calm. He didn’t answer Yuliana’s questions for a long time.
Just when Yuliana thought he was not planning to answer, Christopher suddenly said, “Mr. Johnson’s death. is because he was trying to save me.”
Hearing that, Yuliana was slightly stunned.
Then, Yuliana pursed her lips softly. After staring at Christopher for a while, she changed the topic, “I’m hungry. What do we eat tonight?”
It was already over eight o’clock in the evening in Yarwood. They only had some snacks on the way to the hotel. As the baby in Yuliana grew, she got hungry more frequently. In addition, it’s too cold here. She still felt cold even if the room’s heater had turned on. All she wanted was to eat something warm.
Christopher helped Yuliana put on clean socks and asked, “Do you want to eat in the room or go outside?” Yuliana had been in the car for a whole day, and she wanted to take a walk. So, she said, “How about we go out to eat?”
So they were all dressed up and went out of the hotel.
Yarwood was not a big county. A river separated the county. On one side was the new town, and on the other was the old town. The hotel they stayed in was located in the new town. The new town was still a little deserted. Therefore, there were not many choices of food.
They found a pasta restaurant. Each of them ordered a plate of meatball pasta for dinner.
After that, they walked around the neighborhood. They returned to the pasta restaurant and ordered some food for takeaway. Only then did they return to the hotel.
Christopher took Yuliana to Annabelle’s room with the pasta in his hand. He knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered Christopher took out his phone and called Annabelle, but no one answered the phone as well Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Yuliana glanced at Christopher and saw his eyebrows slightly frown. She suggested, “Do you want to ask the hotel staff to open the door and check it out?”
Christopher put away his phone and was silent for a while. He said, “Don’t mind her. Let’s go back.”
After Christopher finished speaking, he held Yuliana’s hand and returned to the room.
During the night, Yuliana didn’t know whether it was due to coldness or the unfamiliar environment. She didn’t get to sleep well. She woke up in a trance several times.
The next morning, Christopher got up.
Yuliana didn’t sleep well, so she was still sleepy. But when Christopher got up, she also sat up from the bed, but she was in a daze and didn’t want to move.
It was raining outside. Yuliana felt cold when the wind blew into the room from nowhere.
After Christopher finished washing up, only then did Yuliana get out of bed to wash up.
After Yuliana was out of the bathroom, she saw Christopher dressed in a black coat, pants, and even black shoes and socks. He gave an unprecedentedly solemn aura.
Yuliana went over and straightened Christopher’s clothes.
They looked at each other for two seconds. Christopher said gently, “Mr. Johnson’s graveyard is in the countryside. It’s raining today. It must be hard to walk on the road. Be careful when you get there.”
Yuliana replied with, a faint smile, “Okay.”
It was the same car as yesterday.
They arrived at the hotel gate, and the car had already stopped there.
Annabelle was also in the car. Her clothes were almost the same as Christopher’s. She was basically all black, but she was wearing a hat, a mask, and even a pair of sunglasses. Her whole face was covered, and nothing could be seen.
Christopher showed the driver the way, and their first stop was a store that sold funeral products.
He got out of the car with Annabelle while Yuliana was waiting in the car.
Through the car window, Yuliana saw Christopher and Annabelle tacitly buy a few things. A few minutes later, they came from the store and put the items into the trunk. Finally, they got in the car.
The car drove for nearly an hour on a countryside road. There were many cliffs and steep walls. It looked
scary.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a village.
Instead of a village, there were only a few houses. It looked dilapidated. Some of which were already collapsed and covered with weeds.
The three of them got out of the car, and Yuliana looked around. She thought that this place was undoubtedly an unimaginable sight for her.
Usually, there were few outsiders in the village. So, when a car suddenly came in, everyone couldn’t help but be curious about who had arrived. They went out of their house. Most were elders, some were
children, and a
few were middle-aged men and women.
“Hey! It’s Annabelle! Chris is here, too!”
A middle-aged woman walked toward them and welcomed them with a warm smile.
Other elders and children also followed the woman
The middle-aged woman smiled as she looked at Christopher and Annabelle, taking something from the trunk. She asked, “Are you back to see Daryl again?”
Annabelle looked at her coldly and ignored her.
