Chapter 146 Do Not Even Think About It
Yuliana cast her gaze downward to hide her emotions. She bit her lip and said calmly, “Since you don’t believe me, let’s separate!”
Upon hearing those words, a trace of panic flashed across Christopher’s face. He couldn’t help but tighten his grasp on Yuliana’s hand. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked at Yuliana.
At that moment, Yuliana was looking down and had lowered her head slightly. Her face was stained with tears. Her brows frowned, and her lips pursed tightly. Her petite body seemed to be shaking.
Christopher felt annoyed. He stared at Yuliana for a long time before letting go of her hand and blurting stiffly yet ruthlessly, “Don’t even think about it. Since you’re married to me, you will be mine for the rest of your life!”
With that, Christopher left Yuliana in the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Yuliana stood still for a while before raising her hand to wipe her tears. She then went to the bathroom and wash up before going to bed.
Tears kept streaming down her face from her closed eyes.
Yuliana bit her lips and kept on adjusting her breathing, again and again. At last, she dazedly fell asleep. When dawn approached, the bedroom door opened from the outside. A figure walked silently to the bedside. In the darkness, he sat down and looked at the woman who was sleeping on the bed.
Yuliana liked to sleep sideways. Her hands beside the pillow clenched into fists, and her legs slightly curled up. Christopher had seen an article on the Internet that people with such sleeping postures often
felt insecure.
At that time, he scoffed at the article.
He liked to sleep sideways as well, but he did not feel insecure.
He raised his hand and gently touched the hair that fall on Yuliana’s cheek.
The woman in her sleep suddenly moved and opened her eyes slowly.
In the dark, they looked at each other.
Christopher’s fingers hung in mid-air.
After a while, Yuliana closed her eyes again and breathed steadily. Obviously, she wasn’t awake just now. Christopher withdrew his hand and sat by the bed for a while. The sky was getting brighter before he got up and walked out of the room.
Yuliana was woken up by the knocks on the door.
“Mrs. Solace, are you awake?”
Yuliana was a little confused. She looked around and remembered that she was at Oceanview Apartment. But who was outside the door?
She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to open the door. A woman in her forties stood at the door with a smile on her face, looking gentle and kind.
The woman looked somewhat familiar to Yuliana. “May I know who you are?”
The woman hurriedly explained. “Mrs. Solace, you can call me Hailey. I’m the help of the Solace family. Mr. Christopher Solace asked me to come and take care of you.”
“No wonder she looked familiar. I must have seen her in the Solace residence last time,” Yuliana thought.
Yuliana looked around and didn’t see Christopher. She asked, “Where is Christopher?”
Hailey replied, “When I arrived, Mr. Christopher Solace gave me a few orders and went out.
Hearing that, Yuliana lowered her eyes and her expression was indifferent.
Hailey, who was good at reading people’s expressions, had noticed Christopher was not in a good mood when she first arrived at Oceanview Apartment. Now that she saw Yuliana’s expression, she instantly
guessed what was going on.
She coughed lightly and said with a smile, “Mr. Christopher Solace is very concerned about you, Mrs. Solace. Before he left, he told me that your foot was injured and that I should use an ice pack before applying the medicine. For the fear that I might not do well, he even wrote down a list of how long the ice pack should be applied clearly.”
With that said, she took out a piece of folded A4 paper from her pocket and handed it over to Yuliana. Yuliana looked up and took a glance. The pretty and neat handwriting caught her attention.
Christopher, as Hailey stated, had written down every step. He even made time remarks about how long she should apply the ice pack and rub after spraying the medicine.
Actually, the doctor only gave a hazy explanation in the hospital last night.
In addition, there was another remark at the corner of the paper. [Do not add red pepper flakes and parsley to the dishes!]
Yuliana froze as she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Hailey and asked, “Hailey, does Christopher eat red pepper flakes and parsley?”
Hailey was stunned for a second and replied, “Yes, he enjoys them!”
She smiled and continued, “Although Mr. Christopher Solace is from an extraordinary family, he is not picky at all. He will eat it as long as the food is cooked.”
Yuliana was a little confused by those words. Even though Hailey was still talking beside her, she could not hear anything.
All she could think about was Christopher actually liked red pepper flakes and parsley.
However, she clearly remembered that there was once she ordered takeout and asked him if he had anything that he couldn’t eat. He informed her that he did not eat red pepper flakes and parsley.
At that time, she even felt a sense of relief.
A thought flashed through Yuliana’s mind, but she felt that it was too absurd. She could not even believe it. Hailey made some breakfast. After Yuliana finished eating, Hailey brought an ice pack. She wanted to help to apply it to Yuliana’s ankles.
Yuliana was not used to being served by strangers, so she hurriedly reached out and uttered, “Hailey, I’ll do it myself.”
Hailey sat next to her and refused. “That’s not right. You are pregnant. You won’t feel comfortable bending over, and it’s bad for the baby. Don’t worry. I’m pretty good at it. Mr. Christopher Solace was often beaten up by Mr. Kendrick Solace in childhood. I had to deal with a lot of his injuries.”
Recalling those memories, Hailey smiled warmly.
Yuliana was a little curious and asked, “Ken… Does Ken often hit him?”
