Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Afraid Of Me

Yuliana closed her eyes and sat on the couch trembling.

Christopher walked over and gently caressed her face. This time, Yuliana did not avoid him but trembled more violently.

“Ana.” Christopher’s voice was softer than ever. “You can open your eyes now.”

Yuliana’s eyelashes twitched a little when she heard this as she slowly opened her eyes.

Christopher’s face came into view. He wore a black shirt with two buttons undone from the top, revealing part of his chest and collarbone. His skin seemed fairer than before, and he smelled as clean as before.

Yuliana fell into a daze.

It looked like he was the same Christopher before he was imprisoned.

But soon, Yuliana heard the shrill cry from earlier.

The look in Christopher’s eyes changed instantly.

She stood up from the couch in horror and moved to distance herself from Christopher. She stopped when she felt safe.

Christopher’s eyes gradually darkened as he saw her behavior. He sneered, “Ana, you’re afraid of me.”

Yuliana gulped a few times but only stared at the coffee table. Although the table had been cleaned, the floor and the place surrounding it were still stained with blood. The pale-purple-themed room looked extra striking with this.

That noise seemed to have struck Yuliana’s heart.

Yuliana thought she had known all the changes Christopher went through these few years. She only realized tonight that the changes Christopher went through these years were way beyond her imagination and understanding.

No matter how unscrupulous Christopher used to be, he would not cut off someone’s hand without blinking.

“So, what happened to Sabrina?” Yuliana thought.

“Where is Sabrina?” Yuliana asked again.

Christopher frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I told you already. I don’t know.”

Yuliana did not believe him at all and asked, “Then why did you bring people to Sabrina’s house? Are you looking for something?”

Yuliana took two steps back as Christopher took two steps toward her.

He said, “Ana, it’s better not to know what you shouldn’t know. It’s not good for you.”

Yuliana’s eyes swelled with tears. She could not hold them in anymore. “I don’t care what you are looking for or how it benefits you. I only want Sabrina to be safe. If you dare to hurt Sabrina, I will never let it go!”

Even though she had no confidence, she still made up her mind to give it a go.

Christopher’s face got grimmer. He stared at Yuliana for a long time.

At this moment, the phone rang.

The sound came from a bag on the ground.

Just now, when Yuliana fell onto the ground, the bag fell, too.

Both of them looked at the bag. Yuliana wanted to get it, but she had to walk past Christopher. After hesitating for a while, she saw Christopher walk over. He picked up the bag and took out her phone.

He looked at the caller ID and answered it. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Yuliana, have you arrived at Yrinas yet?”

The call was from Hailey.

After Yuliana left, Hailey had been worrying, so she estimated the time and called to ask.

“Hailey,” Christopher answered.

Hailey was stunned. “Chris?”

“Yeah, Hailey, it’s me,” Christopher replied with a smile. “Yuliana has arrived at Yrinas safely. You don’t have to worry.”.

“Okay, I’m relieved that she has arrived. After saying that, she paused, wanting to say something but hesitated. She then asked, “Chris, have you been with Yuliana all this while?”

Christopher looked at Yuliana and acknowledged lightly.

Hailey was silent for a while. “Chris, can you pass the phone to Yuliana? I want to speak to her.”

“Okay.”

Christopher removed the phone from his ears and said to Yuliana, “Hailey wants to talk to you.”

Yuliana tried not to show that she was on guard, took two steps forward, and reached out her hand. Christopher placed the phone in her hand.

When Yuliana was about to withdraw her hand, Christopher suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him, and she landed directly in his arms.

She freaked out immediately and had goosebumps all over her body.

“Let go of me!”

Yuliana pressed hard against his chest and tried to push him away.

Christopher held her waist tight and reminded her, “Hailey’s on the phone.”

“Yuliana, what’s wrong?”

Hailey’s voice came from the receiver, and she was very anxious.

Yuliana calmed down, stuck her phone to her ear, and said calmly, “I’m okay. Hailey, what do you want to say to me?”

Hailey hesitated for a while and said, “Yuliana, after you left, I was worried that you went to Yrinas alone at night, so I called Mr. Duncan. He should be there soon.”

Yuliana suddenly froze.

Actually, they had not seen each other since Wesley left Champs Manor that night.

Yesterday, Wesley wanted to ask her out with Rowan, but she refused with the excuse of having Jacob over at her house.

Wesley was a meticulous and sensitive man, so he knew that she was deliberately refusing.

But instead of putting pressure on her, he respected her very much.

Because of this, Yuliana felt ashamed and disgusted with herself.

She was sandwiched between Christopher and Wesley, and she was unsure of what to do.

Her rationale for this was to decide to either separate from Wesley or completely break up with Christopher. On the one hand, she could not let Christopher go. And on the other hand, she felt that Wesley was the most suitable person for her, and she should be together with Wesley instead.

“Okay!”

While Yuliana was in a daze, the man holding her suddenly lowered his head and bit her ear hard.

Yuliana instinctively groaned and looked up at Christopher.

Hailey regretted when Yuliana went quiet for a while. “Yuliana, I didn’t know you went to Yrinas with Chris,

so…”

Yuliana understood what Hailey meant. “I bumped into Christopher. I didn’t come here with him.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Christopher suddenly picked her up.

She panicked, and in a moment, Christopher placed her down on the couch.

Christopher looked down at Yuliana with his dark eyes.

Yuliana quickly sensed that this position was too dangerous. She ignored the call that was still going on. Without hesitation, she threw her phone away and struggled to get off the couch.

Christopher cuffed her hands with just one hand and pressed them over her head. He asked her. “Ana, do you like Wesley?”

Yuliana had no ability to resist. She felt truly afraid, but out of nowhere, she conjured up the courage.

She sneered at him. “Yes, I like Wesley a lot. Are you satisfied now?”

“Yuliana, are you there?”

Hailey’s anxious voice could be heard faintly from the phone that fell on the carpet.

Christopher glanced over, picked up the phone, and said, “Hailey, Ana is a little busy now. She can’t answer the phone now. Talk tomorrow when she gets home.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, turned it off, and threw it aside.

He lowered his upper body slightly, kissed Yuliana’s forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, “Yu, how much longer until Wesley arrives? When he arrives, do you think we will be done with the first round?”
