Chapter 216 Marrying Christopher Because Of Pregnancy
Yuliana rested at home for a few days to adjust her daily routine. She got up early and went to bed early. In the morning, Yuliana would go to the supermarket with Hailey and then accompany Hailey to cook and clean the room after returning home. A day of work made the time fly quickly.
On that day, Xandria asked Yuliana and others to have dinner together. Kathryn, who hadn’t seen her for a long time, was one of them, as well as several other friends who had a good relationship with Xandria in the social circle.
Larry was one of them as well.
Yuliana was a little surprised after she noticed Larry.
Larry and Xandria had been alienated ever since Larry was beaten by Christopher on Independence Day last year.
After meeting Orlando at dinner last time, Yuliana asked Xandria privately, but Xandria didn’t seem to want to talk about it and simply changed the topic with some excuse. Xandria just said that Larry was a little displeased with her because of that incident. Therefore, Xandria and Larry didn’t get in touch with each other for a long time.
Xandria might be careless and frank, but it didn’t mean she was heartless. She treated Larry as a good friend. Larry was beaten twice by Christopher, and she blamed herself for it. Xandria felt she had responsibility for the incident.
During Larry’s hospitalization, Xandria visited him almost every day. She was scared Larry would get bored. So, she invited several friends to accompany her.
However, Larry put on a sullen face. He was talking and smiling with others, but he deliberately ignored Xandria.
Xandria also had a bad temper. She noticed Larry held back his words even though he had a problem with her. Therefore, Xandria directly quarreled with Larry, causing them to break their friendship ties.
Since Larry didn’t recognize Xandria as a friend, Xandria also wouldn’t mind losing a friend.
This time, Xandria asked Larry for dinner because Larry took the initiative to contact her and apologized for the previous incident. Larry felt aggrieved at that time and had nowhere to vent his emotions but on Xandria. Larry regretted it afterward, but he felt humiliated to apologize to her.
After all, Xandria and Larry had been friends for many years. Moreover, she disliked making a fuss about it. Since Larry apologized, she thought she was also indeed responsible for the incident. She felt guilty about it. Therefore, Xandria would call Larry out when they went out to play recently.
As time passed, Yuliana’s belly was getting bigger and more obvious. Yuliana’s pregnancy had been rumored in the social circle after Zachary’s birthday banquet. It was not a secret anymore.
Still, seeing Yuliana’s bulging belly, Xandria and her friends were stunned.
“Yuliana, how many months have you been pregnant?”
The one who asked this question was a young lady with a good relationship with Xandria. Her last name was Gardner. She was also from a well-reputed family in Juxshire. The Gardner family was also present on the day of Zachary’s birthday banquet.
Yuliana said frankly, “It’s been six months.”
Yvonne exclaimed with a smile, “Wow! You and Christopher were married because of pregnancy!”
“You’re only getting it now!” said Kathryn.
Xandria glared at Kathryn. “You’re acting like you knew from the start!”
Kathryn raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
She thought, “I did find out very early, and…”
In the past, Yuliana couldn’t fit into Xandria’s social circle because she felt distant from the topics they discussed. So, Yuliana would sit aside and listen to them quietly most of the time.
This time, Yuliana had become the center of the topic.
Since Yuliana’s relationship with Christopher was made public at Zachary’s birthday banquet, there had been
much gossip about her, Christopher, and Annabelle in the social circle. In addition, on New Year’s Eve, Christopher left her alone to send Annabelle to the hospital, which also spread to the circle and caused even more speculation.
Kathryn asked, “Yuliana, why didn’t you stop Christopher?”
Kathryn was curious. She thought, “In that situation, Christopher left in a hurry with Annabelle in his arms. Why didn’t Yuliana do anything?”
It was said that the Solace family and other people were present at the birthday banquet at that time.
Yuliana smiled and didn’t answer Kathryn’s question.
Kathryn looked at Yuliana’s reserved expression and shook her head. At last, she couldn’t help sighing. saying, “Anyway, Annabelle stole your husband. You took him back and got revenge for me. I feel great and relieved now.”
Larry joked, “Aren’t you mad at Yuliana?”
Hearing that, Yuliana glanced at Larry. There were several seats between them. When she looked over, Larry also looked at her with deep eyes.
This was the first time Larry mentioned Yuliana tonight.
After their eyes met, Yuliana withdrew her gaze and heard Kathryn say, “Why should I be angry with Yuliana? You have no idea how happy I am. It’s my greatest pleasure to see Annabelle suffer!”
Besides, Kathryn subconsciously thought that Yuliana was not someone like her. Yuliana outperformed Kathryn when she was a student. At that time, Kathryn always thought that Yuliana would go to some research institute or become a scientist.
She always admired Yuliana in her heart.
Although Yuliana was only an elementary school teacher, she worked in one of the top schools. When Kathryn graduated, her parents also wanted her to be a teacher, and it took a lot of effort for Kathryn to get a teaching certificate. Nevertheless, it got even more difficult for her to take the examination and interview that prepared her to be a teacher in the last step.
Until now, Kathryn was taking money from her family for her daily life.
Kathryn was not even jealous of Yuliana because she knew there was a big gap between them.
As for Christopher, Kathryn thought that she was not someone who would like anyone easily.
At most, Kathryn’s heart fluttered slightly for Christopher due to the reputation of the Solace family and the aura he had during his school days.
But later, Kathryn saw Christopher’s true colors, especially when he beat up Larry. It became a nightmare for Kathryn.
When Kathryn was a student, she thought Christopher was handsome and gentle. But now, she thought he was just a violent man as if he was a candidate for domestic violence.
Kathryn thought, “If he hit me like he hit Larry after marriage, would I still be alive? Whoever marries him will be unlucky!”
Thinking of this, Kathryn asked, “Yuliana, did Christopher ever hit you?”
Yuliana was stunned and replied, “No, why?”
Kathryn wanted to say something but stopped. After a while, she said solemnly, “Yuliana, don’t be afraid. You can tell us if Christopher dares to hurt you. I will definitely expose him online and humiliate him!”
Xandria couldn’t stand it and refuted, “What are you talking about? Christopher loves Ana so much. It is impossible that he will hit her!”
Originally, Xandria was also a little worried about Yuliana. However, she saw Christopher’s attitude toward Yuliana during the meal together, and she understood a bit about Christopher through some of his friends. Xandria felt that Christopher was different from what she thought before.
Larry sneered, “Xani, you didn’t live with them. How do you know it’s impossible? Don’t forget that he beat me twice, and I was hospitalized every time he beat me!”
Yuliana suddenly said, “Didn’t you ask for trouble yourself?”
Yuliana looked at Larry coldly and said, “The first time he hit you was because of your mindless words, and
www
the second time he hit you, I think you know the reasons.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly turned tense.
Xandria was confused. She said, “Yuliana, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?”
Xandria knew the reason why Christopher beat Larry up for the first time. It was because Larry and several This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
men slandered Annabelle. She thought it was fair and square for Christopher to beat up Larry. However, Xandria thought the second time was Christopher beating Larry indiscriminately.
