Chapter 201 He Is Showering
Christopher asked, “What did you want to say?”
Yuliana smiled. “Since you’re sober now, don’t sleep. Joyce said we’re celebrating the New Year together later. Let’s go downstairs and watch the New Year’s Gala with Dad and Mom.”
As she spoke, she pulled Christopher up.
However, Christopher just had the hangover remedy and had bad breath. Even he himself could not stand it, so he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Yuliana waited outside for a while. Seeing that he had not come out yet, she could not help but push open the bathroom door. She saw him spraying a freshener into his mouth.
“Are you done?” she asked.
Christopher saw her come in and immediately walked up to her. Try sniffing. Can you still smell it?”
Yuliana was dumbfounded by Christopher’s silly act and wanted to dodge immediately, but Christopher pulled her over and carried her to the counter. He rubbed the tip of his nose against hers and asked, “Can we kiss now?”
His hoarse and deep voice made Yuliana feel nervous, and she felt a tingling sensation spread through her body.
She did not respond and was caught in a dilemma between dodging it or not.
Suddenly, their lips touched, and both of them were stunned. Before Yuliana could react, Christopher pinned her beneath his body.
It was almost 11 p.m. when they got out of the bathroom.
The duo then accompanied Zachary and Winnie to watch the New Year’s Gala downstairs. At almost midnight, the two elders prepared monetary gifts for Christopher, Yuliana, Joyce, Kendrick, Alexzander, and Annabelle.
However, Annabelle was not feeling well and returned to her room early to rest.
At 12 a.m. sharp, Christopher and Kendrick went to the yard to light the fireworks. Since Alexzander had kept requesting to play with the aerial fireworks earlier, Kendrick accompanied him to light them, which were the ones Christopher and Yuliana had seen in the room before.
At midnight, the sky over the Solace residence was illuminated for nearly ten minutes.
Although Yuliana had watched a lot of fireworks before, it was the only time she had seen such amazing fireworks.
The fireworks were indeed beautiful but only lasted for a very short moment.
After all the fireworks ended, Zachary and Winnie returned to their room to rest. Alex also could not hold his eyes for a while and fell asleep. Kendrick carried him upstairs, and Joyce followed him.
Perhaps Yuliana’s body was still in a state of excitement. She did not feel sleepy and returned to the home theatre with Christopher to watch a movie. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
However, Yuliana fell asleep before she could finish the movie.
After switching off the equipment in the home theatre, Christopher carried Yuliana back to the room and put her on the bed. He stared at Yuliana’s sleeping face for a while. Then he lowered his head and gently kissed her on the tip of her nose.
Annabelle left the Solace residence early the next morning.
Christopher and Yuliana stayed in the Solace residence until the second day of New Year and only returned to Oceanview Apartment at night.
On the third day of the New Year, the duo stayed home all day, sleeping, cooking, and watching movies. In the evening, they made an appointment with Raymond and others for dinner. After dinner, they went to Prestige Club together.
Raymond also invited Xandria over.
The last time Yuliana and Xandria met was before New Year. Xandria had been very busy lately. She had to
deal with her family’s relatives and Raymond’s, so she did not have time to contact Yuliana.
After singing and playing games with others, Yuliana and Xandria moved to a corner and chatted.
Xandria told Yuliana that she had visited Raymond’s relatives. Since she and Raymond had been pretending to be in a relationship for some time, Raymond’s mother took the opportunity to take her to meet the relatives of the Quinn family during the New Year
The relatives of the Quinn family were af significant figures and were generous. Xandria had received a lot of monetary gifts from them in the past few days. Raymond’s parents had also given her a big sum of monetary gift.
Xandria was a little embarrassed to take it. But since Raymond asked her to accept it, she took it at ease.
Seeing her happy look, Yuliana could not help joking, “Maybe you and Raymond should make the play act real.”
After saying that, she thought about it carefully and said in a serious tone, “In fact, I think Raymond is a good person after interacting with him recently.”
“Huh?” Upon hearing this, Xandria looked at Yullana in disbelief and asked, “What makes you think he is good?”
With that, she pointed somewhere.
Yuliana looked in the direction she pointed at. It was then she saw Raymond sitting among a group of women, peacocking with women on both sides. The women had so much fun with him and giggled.
Yuliana pursed her lips at the sight. “I take back my words.”
Xandria stared at Raymond for a while and said, “Yuliana, you know I’m short-tempered. Even trivial matters can irritate me easily, and there’s no way I can endure any humiliation. I can’t accept a playful guy like Raymond.”
She suddenly felt that the topic was a little serious and shook her head to throw away the thoughts in her mind. Then she changed the subject and asked Yuliana, “By the way, I heard Annabelle had caused trouble again.”
Staring at Yuliana, Xandria picked up her glass and took a sip before continuing, “Christopher had sent Annabelle to the hospital on New Year’s Eve, right?”
Yuliana was momentarily stunned by her words. “How did you know that?”
Xandria smiled. “How do I know that? It’s spreading in the circle. Can I not know?”
Yuliana gave Xandria’s words a thought and felt that what she had just said was hilarious and absurd. She thought, “Indeed, so, many people watched it during New Year’s Eve. It was difficult to keep it a
secret.”
She smiled slightly and asked, “What else did you hear?”
Xandria glanced at Yuliana’s belly. “What else? It’s not a good thing, of course. They said Mr. Solace still loves Annabelle, and you’re displacing her using the baby in your belly.”
She only told Yuliana things that were less intrusive. In fact, there were harsher and more unpleasant comments about Yuliana.
After all, Yuliana’s identity was no longer a secret in the circle. Her father’s affairs and the marriage between her and Harry had also spread.
Yuliana smiled again. “Just let them spread whatever they like.”
The saying could not be clearer. The more you care, the more it hurts.” That was why Yuliana stopped caring about what others thought or commented about her.
Xandria looked at her and hesitated for a while. Still, she could not help saying, “Yuliana, you shouldn’t be so kind to let others bully you like before. You must be fierce and show no mercy to a shameless woman like Annabelle.”
Hearing that, Yuliana nodded with a smile. “I will.”
Considering Yuliana’s condition, Christopher took her back to Oceanview Apartment at about ten o’clock. After returning home, Yuliana took a shower first, followed by Christopher.
Yuliana did not blow dry her hair completely, and her scalp was still a little wet. She sat on the couch in her room and watched short videos of cute babies on her phone. Since she was pregnant, she loved to watch
such videos.
Suddenly, a phone ringtone rang.
Yuliana looked toward the sound and found it was from Christopher’s phone on the bedside cabinet.
She picked up the phone and froze for a second when she saw the caller. Then she swiped to answer it.
“Chris…”
Yuliana interrupted her and said, “He’s taking a shower, and it’s inconvenient for him to answer the phone. You can talk to me if you need anything, and I’ll relay the message to him.”
