Chapter 119 Yulianá
The next few days felt like a dream to Yuliana. She only got rid of the sense of surrealism when she saw the marriage certificate.
She could not believe she had actually married Christopher. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
From the moment they got the marriage certificate, Christopher officially became Yuliana’s husband and the man in her life.
The realization gave her a warm and fuzzy feeling. It was as if everything around her was filled with vitality and instantly became vivid..
Perhaps things had been busy for Christopher after he went to Romdale, as he hardly had time to contact her during the day. They could only make video calls in the evening or even later, but Yuliana was used to sleeping early, so they barely had enough time to talk over the phone.
Moreover, Yuliana was yet to adjust to her new identity. Each time she saw Christopher’s face through their video call sessions, she could not help but feel shy when she got reminded that they were legally married.
In fact, she was not a person who would get shy easily.
Soon, it was the weekend again.
Fiona asked Yuliana to go shopping with her, and Yuliana happened to need to buy something.
Yuliana was pregnant for almost four months. After her morning sickness got better, even though her appetite had not changed much, her body still weighed a few pounds more, and her baby bump would
only be more and more visible over time. Hence, she planned to buy some larger-size clothes and maternity wear.
Moreover, Yuliana knew she could no longer hide her pregnancy during the later stage, so she did not intend to keep it a secret.
Besides, she and Christopher had already gotten their marriage certificate, so she no longer had to hide her pregnancy because she was already his wife.
Yuliana accompanied Fiona to some women’s boutique shops. Then, when they happened to pass by a maternity store, Yuliana walked in without hesitation.
Fiona was startled upon seeing that, and she followed Yuliana inside.
Seeing that Yuliana was looking at clothes and accessories for babies and even studying them carefully in her hand from time to time, Fiona hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to ask, “Ms. Livingstone, do you have a friend who’s expecting?”
Yuliana glanced at her and smiled. “No.”
After a pause, she put the milk bottle back on the shelf and said to Fiona, “Ms. Clark, I’m the one expecting a baby. I didn’t mean to hide it from you before this.”
Fiona did not look too surprised.
There had been rumors going around in their school that Yuliana had recently gained weight, and her waist looked thicker than before. Most of them guessed she was pregnant; some of them were very confident with this speculation.
But then, Fiona did not dare believe the rumors and did not ask Yuliana, too.
After all, they were only colleagues, and colleagues might not always be friends. Naturally, friends could easily talk about personal matters, but there were certain boundaries between colleagues.
Fiona asked, “Is Mr. Solace the father of the baby?”
Yuliana nodded and said nothing else.
Naturally, Fiona did not ask more questions about that. She accompanied Yuliana and spent a long time in the maternity store. In the end, she even bought some maternity and baby products for Yuliana and her unborn child.
They walked out of the maternity store with numerous shopping bags.
Ever since Fiona learned that Yuliana was pregnant, she was worried about exhausting her, so she refused to let Yuliana carry any shopping bags and took everything from her. After shopping for a while, they found at place to sit and rest
Later, when they passed by a men’s clothing store, Yuliana stopped in her tracks.
She remembered that most of Christopher’s clothes belonged to this particular brand.
After a moment’s hesitation, she still went inside the store with Fiona.
There were several customers inside at that time.
Yuliana looked around and spotted a brown coat.
The color might not look good on ordinary people, but Yuliana thought it would look great on Christopher when she pictured him in it.
With that in mind, Yuliana waved at a sales assistant to take the coat down from the shelf for her to have a
look.
Right then, a familiar voice sounded from beside them.
“Yuliana.”
Yuliana was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked over and saw a young lady dressed in an expensive outfit standing there, looking at her with a smile.
The young lady walked toward her after seeing that Yuliana had noticed her.
“When I heard your voice earlier, I thought I misheard it, but it’s really you.” The young lady scrutinized Yuliana from head to toe, and her eyes shone with apparent malice.
The young lady’s name was Margaret Ziegler, Harry’s half-sister who should be in her senior year. Margaret and Harry shared the same father.
Yuliana nodded at her in response. Right then, the sales assistant came over and took the brown coat off the shelf for Yuliana. She took it and touched the coat. It was thick and stylish, and the material was soft rather than rough.
Margaret sneered as Yuliana ignored her. She glanced at the coat Yuliana was holding. “This coat is quite expensive. Yuliana, I don’t think you can afford it with your current income.”
Fiona was a little annoyed upon hearing that.
However, since the young lady addressed Yuliana by her first name, Fiona could not figure out her relationship with Yuliana. Thus, she found it inconvenient to speak up and defend Yuliana.
Still, Fiona felt very uncomfortable seeing how the young lady looked at Yuliana. It felt like the young lady. regarded herself as superior to everyone else.
Yuliana ignored Margaret’s words.
Margaret was the daughter of Waylon Ziegler’s second wife, and she was also his youngest child, so she grew up spoiled and had an arrogant attitude.
She never respected Harry as he was Waylon’s illegitimate child, so she also looked down on Yuliana, especially after Yuliana’s father, Damian, was imprisoned. Each time they met, Margaret would always mock Yuliana.
However, Harry barely contacted the Ziegler family except for business affairs. Hence, after he and Yuliana married, they rarely kept in touch with the Ziegler family. Yuliana would only attend some important family occasions with Harry when necessary.
Yuliana never liked starting a fight, so she would never publicly argue with Margaret. Hence, Yuliana would ignore Margaret’s sarcasm and mockery each time they met.
Despite that, Margaret was still very displeased with Yuliana. As the noble daughter of the Ziegler family, she felt humiliated that Yuliana always ignored her.
Even when Yuliana said nothing, just like this encounter at the men’s clothing store, Margaret was still annoyed and wanted to find some trouble with Yuliana.
“Marge.”
Right then, another female voice rang out.
Margaret’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She quickly turned around and smiled brightly at the lady. “Scarlett, I’m here.”
Then, a young lady dressed sweetly and elegantly walked over.
She was similar to Margaret in age.
However, the lady named Scarlett looked more mature and composed than Margaret in terms of how they dressed and their temperament. Her face was also more delicate than Margaret’s.
Margaret inherited her father’s looks, so her face was rounder, and her features were more in line with the Epean’s beauty standards toward the Aplothians.
The young lady, Scarlett Lynch, walked over and soon noticed Yuliana standing before Margaret. She felt that Yuliana looked a little familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen Yuliana.
“Marge, who is she?”
“Oh,” Margaret deliberately said. Then, she looked at Yuliana meaningfully and continued, “She’s Yuliana, my sister-in-law.”
Scarlett frowned. “Yuliana?”
She looked at Yuliana again because she knew that Margaret only had one sister-in-law previously. Thinking of that, she could confirm the lady standing before her was Harry’s ex-wife, Yuliana.
No wonder she felt that Yuliana looked familiar. Before Scarlett dated Harry, someone showed her pictures of
Yuliana.
In fact, Yuliana was not too photogenic, so Scarlett did not take Yuliana seriously after seeing the pictures. However, upon seeing Yuliana in person, she felt an intuitive sense of crisis.
