Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Will You Leave Me?

School was about to start, and Yuliana started to get busy again. She had a tight schedule since she needed to prepare for the semester after school started.

Two days before school started, Hailey went over to clean up the house at Celestial Garden. Then, Christopher moved into the house with Yuliana.

At night, Yuliana couldn’t fall asleep.

She wondered if her insomnia was due to the anxiety for the new semester or because she was too used to the bed in Oceanview Apartment, as she had been sleeping there for more than a month.

Or perhaps, it was because Christopher was going to Romdale tomorrow.

Christopher had been pretending to be fine since Zachary’s accident, but Yuliana could sense that he was always in a low mood. Most of the time, if he weren’t worried that his silence would affect her mood, he wouldn’t have opened his mouth to speak.

He had been very silent.

Yuliana moved, turned around, and looked at him.

After getting pregnant, Yuliana had the habit of getting up at night. She would get up two or three times a night, so she turned on the lights in the toilet in case of bumping into something or falling over herself.

The light on the bedside was too close and too bright. If she turned it on, they wouldn’t be able to sleep well.

Christopher opened his eyes not long after she turned around and stared at him.

Yuliana was stunned for a moment and whispered. “Are you not asleep?”

Christopher pushed away the hair on her face and hummed lightly.

In fact, he couldn’t sleep well at night for the past week. On the one hand, it was difficult for him to rest well in the hospital. On the other hand, he kept dreaming of Zachary’s passing when he fell asleep.

Hence, he subconsciously resisted falling asleep.

Yuliana grabbed his hand, and they looked at each other silently for a while. Yuliana held his face and kissed him on his lips, then his chin, before trailing down to his Adam’s apple.

Christopher’s breathing became heavier.

He stopped Yuliana and said, “Ana, stop it.”

Yuliana was in the later stages of her pregnancy. Christopher dared not to touch her anymore. He was afraid that he would hurt her and the baby in her belly if his actions got too rough.

Yuliana kissed his lips again. This time, it was no longer a light peck, but a long and passionate smooch.

Christopher lost his cool and pressed himself on her to take the initiative.

But after the kiss, Christopher stopped.

Yuliana wrapped her arms around his neck and gasped for breath. “Why didn’t you continue?”

Christopher was breathing heavily. He controlled the calling in his body and suppressed the rush of emotions that had been bottled up in his mind throughout this period.

Meanwhile, Yuliana kept provoking him.

He stopped her and warned in a deep voice, “Ana, I’ll hurt you.”

Yuliana looked into his eyes. “You won’t.”

She paused for two seconds, put her soft lips on his neck, and said, “Christopher, I want you to be happy.”

The muscles around Christopher’s neck twitched twice. He inserted his fingers into her hair and caressed Yuliana’s head. He nibbled Yuliana’s ear and said, “Do you really want me to be happy?”

Hearing this, Yuliana was a little scared. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and replied, “Yes.”

Christopher maneuvered her while whispering something in her ear. His tone was alluring. “Ana, in this way, I’ll be happy, and it won’t hurt you too.”

Yuliana’s cheeks burned red as she listened to his words. Her blood boiled with embarrassment

After a while, she refused him coyly, saying, “No, I can’t.”

After saying that, she wanted to break off from Christopher’s hug.

Christopher pressed her down. “You said you wanted me to be happy.”

Their eyes met in the dark. His eyes were deep and pensive as if they had a magical power that could make everyone who met his gaze engrossed in his charm.

He kissed her lips and backed away. They were so close that they could feel each other’s breaths. He crooned, “Ana, can you do it?”

Yuliana couldn’t say no. It was as if she had been enchanted by his charm.

After everything was over, Christopher immediately got up and carried Yuliana to the bathroom.

Yuliana’s eyes were red from crying.

Christopher brought her a glass of water, but Yuliana still felt uncomfortable.

She stared at him with reddened eyes. “Liar!”

He kept saying that it wouldn’t be hard and that it would be over soon. They were all lies.

Christopher raised his eyebrows and said, “What did I lie to you about? Wasn’t it faster than before?”

Yuliana stared at him without saying anything.

Christopher’s heart softened instantly at the sight of her pitiful look. He touched her lips and wanted to kiss her again. Yuliana noticed his actions and immediately covered her lips.

Her eyes were wide and round, and she murmured through her palm, “What are you doing?”

Christopher’s lips curled up as he saw her movement, and his gray eyes instantly lit up. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He pulled away Yuliana’s hand that was covering her lips and held the back of her head. Then, he leaned over and kissed her deeply.

“Ana, thank you so much.”

After a while, Christopher carried Yuliana back to bed. Both of them were sleepless, but none of them spoke for a moment.

Yuliana was lying sideways with her back to him. Christopher was also lying sideways with his arms around her waist. He put his palm on her raised abdomen. Suddenly, he felt the baby kick twice on his palm.

Christopher suddenly said, “The baby kicked me.”

His tone was natural and relaxed.

Yuliana put her hand on the back of his palm. “Do you think the baby will look like you or me?”

Christopher said, “The baby is so active at night. I’m sure it will look like me.”

Yuliana smiled. “It’s good to be like you. Both Joyce and Layla said that it will be a boy. You at least aren’t bad-looking, so it’d be good if the boy looked like you. I wouldn’t have to worry about him not being able to find a wife in the future.”

Christopher didn’t know what to say. “Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?”

“Of course, it’s a compliment.” Yuliana grabbed his fingers. “I was complimenting you on your looks.”

“So you married me because I’m handsome?”

“What else could it be?”

The room stayed quiet for a while.

Christopher asked, “Ana.”

Yuliana was about to doze off. Hearing his voice, she woke up immediately and responded faintly, half asleep.

Christopher stayed silent for a while before he said, “Mom and Dad were never young as long as I can remember. Mom has always been in poor health, while Dad has nothing serious but some minor health problems. They have made it through for so many years. So, I never considered they would leave me suddenly before Dad’s accident. I know people will die, but I never thought it would happen so suddenly.”

And it happened when he was unprepared.

For more than a week, every time he saw Zachary lying on the hospital bed motionlessly with shallow breathing, he felt that he was still in a nightmare. He had the illusion that if he could wake up from the dream, Zachary would still be fine. He would stay with Winnie all day long and occasionally ask his friends out to fish, drink coffee, and play chess or poker.

Yuliana understood how he felt.

She had been through a similar situation twice.

The first time was when Damian and Callie got divorced. She never thought they would divorce before that, and it took her a long time to accept it. The second time was when Damian had an accident.

Although her experience was different from Christopher’s, they did experience the same feelings.

She patted Christopher on the back of his hand and said gently, “Dad will get better. He and Mom are so close. He won’t have the heart to leave her. When he wakes up, you can spend more time with them.”

“Ana, will you leave me?”
