Chapter 28 We Will Get Married

The person moved slightly after hearing the sound of the door being opened. Then, a woman’s soft, groggy voice was heard. “You’re back.” It looked as if she had just woken up.

Without any expression, Christopher hummed in response. Then, he said, “When did you arrive?” Annabelle sat up from the couch and held a pillow in her arms. As she looked at Christopher changing his shoes at the door, she said, “I’ve been here for a while. I thought you wouldn’t come back here tonight.”

Christopher glanced at her and noticed that she was wearing his black T-shirt. Then, he said, “If you are sleepy, you can go to the room. I’m going to take a shower.”

Annabelle asked, “What about you?”

“I’ll sleep on the couch.” Having said that, Christopher went straight to the walk-in closet.

“Christopher.” Annabelle looked at his side profile and asked, “About what you’ve said three years ago, does it still count?”

Christopher stopped in his tracks and was silent for a moment. Then, he turned to Annabelle and smiled lazily. “What did I say?”

“You said before that if I’m willing to do it, you will marry me,” Annabelle replied.

Having heard her remarks, Christopher’s eyes darkened. He walked to the couch and sat down. Then, he took out his cigarette box, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly. “Aren’t you getting along well with that illegitimate child of the Ziegler family? What’s the matter? Did Harry dump you?”

Annabelle moved closer to Christopher and held his arm. After that, she leaned on his shoulder and smiled. “Are you jealous, Chris?”

Christopher tilted his head to glance at Annabelle. She smiled and added, “Harry and I are just trying to pass the time. You know very well that he won’t marry me, and it’s impossible for me to marry him.”

Christopher exhaled a puff of smoke and stared at it. “It’s all your fault. If you had agreed to marry him three years ago, he would definitely marry you without saying another word.”

Annabelle took the cigarette from Christopher and put it in her mouth. “What would happen to you if I were to marry him? Chris, you and I are the ones who belong in the same world. Isn’t it true?”

“Don’t call my name with that longing tone. I’m getting goosebumps from it.” Christopher snatched the cigarette back and put it out in the ashtray.

Annabelle looked at the cigarette and noticed that half of it still remained. Then, she glanced around before saying, “Why don’t I call you ‘kiddo’? Speaking of which, you are indeed ten days younger than me. It’s quite a suitable name to call you with.”

After that, she continued, “Kiddo, kiddo…”

Christopher’s eyes darkened, and he gave her a side-long glance. “Annabelle!”

Unabashed, Annabelle continued to shout loudly with a smile, “Kiddo, kiddo!”

Christopher looked at Annabelle for a short while before raising his arm and pushing her hand away. Then, he stood up and turned to grab his outfit before taking a shower.

Before he could take a few steps forward, he heard Annabelle saying, “I wasn’t joking just now, Christopher. It wasn’t a test either. I’m being serious.”

Afterward, she paused for a moment before saying, “Aunt Winnie also hopes that we can get married as soon as possible.”

Christopher stood silently for a while with his back to Annabelle. Then, he said, “We’ll get married after you have thought it through.”

Two days later, Yuliana applied for a leave of absence to go to the hospital for a comprehensive medical checkup. It was because she did not have any morning classes on Wednesdays.

Yuliana had caught a cold before and had taken some cold medicine. Thus, she brought the medicines to the doctor as well. The doctor informed her that all the cold medicines that she had taken were herbal medicines. The medicines had little impact on the fetus. Moreover, he also informed her that she could do specific medical tests later if she was still worried.

In addition, Yuliana was in good health, and the fetus was currently very healthy. However, she was still required to be more careful during the first three months.

Yuliana asked about all the precautions that she needed to take and jotted down the doctor’s suggestions one by one.

After coming out of the hospital, Yuliana went back to school. She had two classes in the afternoon and had to go to the washroom several times to vomit during the classes.

The doctor had mentioned that the morning sickness would usually last for twelve weeks, but there were still exceptions. A more severe morning sickness would last until the baby was born.

Currently, Yuliana was not worried about other things. However, she felt terrible because of the morning sickness. Moreover, it started to affect her teaching her students. If she had morning sickness until the baby was born, she did not know if she was able to hold on any longer.

When school was over in the afternoon, Yuliana returned to the office after sending the students was still marking the homework in the office.

away. Fiona

Upon seeing Yuliana, Fiona said with concern, “I heard that you vomited several times in class this afternoon. Didn’t you go to the hospital for a checkup last weekend? What did the doctor say? Did you eat something bad, or was it something else?”

Yuliana still did not know how to explain the pregnancy to Fiona. After all, the former had told Fiona that she was already divorced.

Therefore, she answered casually, “Maybe I ate something bad.”

“Then, you should pay more attention to what you eat for these few days. Try to eat something light or liquid food. Don’t eat any spicy or cold food,” Fiona reminded.

Someone chimed in, “By the looks of it, I don’t think Ms. Livingstone ate bad food. It looks like she’s pregnant!” The one who spoke was Lexie Anderson, a teacher who had just entered the office with several textbooks in her arms. She glanced at Yuliana and said, “I had the same symptom when I was pregnant with my son.”

Lexie was three years older than Yuliana. The former started to work at Juxshire Primary School a year before.

Upon hearing her remarks, Fiona looked at Yuliana subconsciously. However, she noticed Yuliana was looking indifferent. It was as if Yuliana did not take Lexie’s words seriously at all.

After getting a cup of water, Lexie stood with her hip pressing against the corner of the table. She smiled and asked, “Ms. Livingstone, I heard that you and your husband have been married for three

years. Why don’t you have a child?”

Yuliana did not answer her question. The former merely packed her things up and prepared to go home.

Meanwhile, Fiona knew about Yuliana’s divorce. The former noticed that Lexie was asking the question on purpose. Therefore, she said, “Ms. Livingstone is still young and isn’t in a hurry. Just look at me. I’m one year older than Ms. Livingstone, but I’m still single.”

Lexie smiled. “Ms. Clark, you’re not married. There are some things that you don’t understand. If you don’t have a child after getting married for a long time, your husband will start to distance himself from you sooner or later.”

Having said that, Lexie changed the topic and said, “Ms. Livingstone, I haven’t seen your driver picking you up recently. You look unwell. Why are you still taking a taxi by yourself?”

Yuliana packed up her things, carried her bag, and stood up. She smiled at Lexie before saying, “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Anderson. It’s more convenient to take a taxi. By the way, was it your father who sent you to school last time? I didn’t have time to greet him that day. Please say hello to your father for me.” Before she could finish her words, Lexie’s face turned grim before turning pale. Lexie did not say anything for a long time.

Then, Yuliana-looked at Fiona and said, “Ms. Clark, Ms. Anderson, I’ll take my leave. See you tomorrow.” Fiona tried to suppress her laughter and said, “See you tomorrow.”

As soon as Yuliana left, Lexie put the glass back on the table heavily, which made a loud noise.

Meanwhile, Fiona lifted her eyes and glanced at her. Then, the former pretended to focus on marking the homework, but she was trying very hard to suppress her laughter.

After leaving school, Yuliana went to the supermarket first and bought some fresh vegetables and fruits. She was not good at cooking and did not like cooking. She always had takeouts after Harry and she had a divorce.

Nevertheless, now that she was pregnant, Yuliana was being mindful. She was worried that the takeouts. were unhealthy and that eating them would affect the fetus.

She came out of the elevator while carrying a lot of things in her hand. Then, she raised a hand to take out the key from her bag to open the door. However, when she looked up, she saw Christopher standing by the door with his back against the wall. He had his head down as he played with his phone.

Yuliana paused. Christopher raised his head to glance in her direction as he heard the sound. When he saw that it was her, he stopped all of a sudden. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

He put away his phone lazily and straightened up. Then, he looked at her and drawled, ‘Ms. Livingstone, you really do have so much leisure time.”
