Chapter 217 Go Away
Larry’s face darkened in an instant. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Yuliana withdrew her gaze and didn’t answer Xandria.
Yuliana believed that Larry only acted impulsively but managed to restrain himself. Besides, Christopher beat him up, and Xandria seldom saw him again. Yuliana was afraid that Xandria would lose her temper and act rashly after finding out, so she didn’t tell Xandria.
Kathryn acted out of care for Yuliana and understood how she would feel. However, Larry deliberately sowed discord and slandered Christopher, so she couldn’t help but bring up the matter.
Seeing Yuliana remain quiet, the others shifted their gaze onto Larry again.
As Larry saw everyone having their eyes on him, his expression darkened more. He smacked the table, did not say a word, got up, opened the door, and left the private room.
Staring at the closed door, Kathryn snorted coldly. “Did he lose his mind after Christopher beat him year? What’s wrong with him?”

Xandria felt something was wrong as she recalled the incident in the ancient town. She was busy taking photos with Kathryn that day and asked Larry to accompany Yuliana back to the homestay.
After a while, Larry came back to meet Xandria and Kathryn. They ate and went to the bar for a drink.
Then, Christopher rushed into the bar and hit Larry,
Xandria wondered, “Did something happen that I didn’t know of?”
Larry didn’t leave immediately and smoked outside when his phone rang twice. He picked it up and saw a pink animated profile named “M.”
M texted: [Where are you?]
Larry took the cigarette away from his mouth, pressed the voice message button, and replied, “Having dinner.”
M texted: [With Xandria again?]
Larry just looked at his phone and didn’t reply. After a few seconds, he received another text message.
M replied: [You haven’t forgotten our promise, have you?]
Biting the cigarette, Larry texted: [No. Don’t worry. I’m having dinner, and Yuliana is here too.]
After his reply, a silhouette passed by him.
Larry looked up and saw Xandria walking over. She stopped in front of him and gazed at him solemnly.
Staring at him for a while, Xandria asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”
Larry pursed his lips and avoided her eyes.
Xandria said, “Larry, if you still see me as your friend, you’d better be honest with me and not make me find out the shameful things you’ve done from someone else. You know I have a bad temper!”
Frowning, Larry looked a little depressed and regretful. “Xani, I didn’t mean it. I regret doing it too!”
Xandria was stunned, and her expression darkened more. “What have you done?”
Larry looked at Xandria and remained silent before telling her about himself kissing Yuliana forcefully.
After hearing that, Xandria slapped him and roared, “Larry, you bastard!”
Larry, whose face was in pain, explained, “Xani, you know nothing. I have liked Yuliana since high school and can’t let go of her over these years. Instead, my feelings for her grew deeper and deeper. You have no idea how happy I was when I found out she had divorced Harry. However, I didn’t expect her to be with Christopher. He’s such a jerk. How could I let her be?” Tears welled up in Larry’s eyes. He took another deep puff of the cigarette, calmed himself down, and continued, “So, I couldn’t hold back and confessed to her and told her that I like her, but she turned me down because of Christopher. I lost control then and didn’t know what I was doing. I’m sorry, Xan.” Larry looked as if he wanted to kneel before Xandria. “You can slap me or scold me all you want. I won’t say a word. As long as you and Yuliana calm down, you can do whatever you want!”
Hearing that, Xandria was furious and punched and kicked Larry regardless of what he said.
Larry stood motionless. As he said, he would not say a word.
After a while, they caught the restaurant staff’s attention, who stepped forward to stop Xandria and thought they were a couple fighting. As the staff tried to persuade Xandria, Xandria glared at Larry, her anger lingering. Then, she slapped him in the face again.
“Get lost! Don’t let me see you again!”
After saying that, Xandria shook off the staff holding her and entered the private room.
With that, the dinner ended unhappily.
Xandria did not say a word as she accompanied Yuliana back home.
Yuliana could guess that Larry had told Xandria about the incident. As she knew Xandria’s personality well, she thought the latter had to feel worse. After all, they were friends.
“Xani.”
Hearing Yuliana’s voice, Xandria pouted and almost broke into tears. She held them back and asked in a choked voice, “Yuliana, why didn’t you tell me about it?”
Yuliana was silent for a while before saying, “It’s not as serious as you think. Besides, Christopher indeed beat Larry to a pulp. I feared you would feel bad when you found out, so I didn’t tell you.”
Xandria gritted her teeth and exclaimed, “Larry, that bastard!”
Aside from anger, Xandria was extremely heartbroken and disappointed.
To her, aside from Yuliana, Larry was one of her best and closest friends. She would think about Larry before doing anything, but she didn’t expect him to take advantage of her best friend.
As Yuliana had said, it was not as serious as she thought, but she still felt disgusted.
After sending Yuliana home, Xandria left. Yuliana wanted to ask Xandria to stay for a while, but the latter was not in the mood.
It was only two days from Family Day. Yuliana video called Christopher at night. He should’ve been back the day before Family Day but had to stay at least half a year in Romdale, as he could not settle the situation there quickly.
However, things didn’t always work out as they were planned. The next afternoon, Yuliana received a call from Layla, saying that Zachary fainted, accidentally fell into water, and almost drowned when fishing with his friends. Although he was rushed to the emergency room in time, he fell into a coma.
Layla had informed Christopher, so he booked a flight home today.
Joyce and Layla were at the hospital. As Winnie was still unaware of the incident, they didn’t dare to tell her for the time being. However, they knew they couldn’t hide from her forever, as they didn’t know what would happen to Zachary. So, Layla asked Yuliana to stay by Winnie’s side at the Solace residence.
After hearing the news, Yuliana was taken aback and wondered, “I remember Dad doing just fine and looking fitter than a young man when I saw him not long ago. How come he fainted and drowned?”
Yuliana couldn’t afford to waste more time and headed to the Solace residence with Hailey.
As Zachary went out in the morning and hadn’t returned until the afternoon, Winnie began to worry.
She was slightly distracted by Yuliana and Hailey’s arrival and asked, “Why are the two of you back?”
Yuliana explained, “My mom prepared something for you when I went to Jeahron. I always wanted to give them to you.”
Initially, Yuliana planned to send the gift with Christopher on Family Day, but she feared Winnie would overthink, so she used it as an excuse.
