Chapter 202 Are You Jealous?
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
Then, Annabelle giggled and said, “All right, then. Please tell him not to forget what he had promised me.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Listening to the disconnected tone over the phone, Yuliana was momentarily stunned before putting down the phone.
She touched her hair. Since it was almost dry, she went to bed directly but couldn’t sleep. Thus, she sat on the bed and picked up her phone to watch videos. Her mind wandered as she watched the lovely babies on
the video.
About ten minutes later, Christopher came out of the bathroom.
He was half naked and only wore a pair of dark gray wide-leg pants. There was a rope around his waist, which was not tied but hung loosely at his hips.
Although Christopher did not like to wear clothes when he was sleeping at home, he did put on his clothes when he was outside. He subconsciously felt that the hotel was a bit unhygienic and felt a little disgusted if he did not wear clothes.
Yuliana blatantly fixated her gaze on Christopher. He then walked toward her and handed her the towel. “Ana, please help to wipe my hair.”
Since his hair was short, he did not bother to use the hairdryer. Every time he washed his hair, he only needed to dry it by wiping it with a towel.
Christopher sat directly on the floor beside the bed.
Yuliana took the towel, sat on the bed, wrapped it around his head and gently towel-dried his hair. Christopher picked up his phone and clicked on a game video to watch.
Yuliana glanced at it and found it was the game he used to play.
When Christopher’s hair was almost dry, Yuliana said, “While you were showering. Annabelle called your phone, and I answered it.”
Christopher focused on watching the video and said calmly, “What did she say?”
“She asked me to tell you not to forget what you had promised her.”
Christopher stopped watching the video and pondered for a moment. Then, he threw his phone aside, turned around, and looked at Yuliana. “I promised to accompany her back to visit Mr. Johnson.”
After staring at Christopher for a while, Yuliana asked, “When?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Christopher frowned. “We’ve not decided yet. I guess she called me for this.”
There was nothing unusual with Yuliana’s expression. She only went silent for a while and did not utter a word.
Christopher wrapped his arm around her waist and said calmly, “If you don’t wish for me to go, I won’t go then.”
Yuliana looked at him and pursed her lips. “What am I then? Annabelle’s father is your life savior, after all. You should go and see him.” She paused before asking, “How long will you be gone?”
“Two or three days.”
Daryl did not come from Juxshire but from a township on the southwest border. Even if Christopher took a plane to the airport and traveled by car afterward, it would still take him more than half a day to reach the destination.
Yuliana did not expect it to take so long. “Did you guys also go together in previous years?”
Christopher hesitated before he nodded in response.
In fact, every year, he would look for a time to visit Daryl with Annabelle.
He thought if he did not return with Annabelle, no one would remember him anymore.
Yuliana lowered her gaze, frowning slightly. After pondering for a moment, she raised her gaze and asked
Christopher, “Can I go with you?”
She couldn’t stop Christopher from accompanying Annabelle to visit Daryl, and Christopher should also keep his promise to Annabelle. At the same time, she couldn’t let Christopher spend two or three days with Annabelle alone, so the only way she could think of was to go with him.”
“Annabelle’s father was the one who saved my husband, the father to my child. I should visit him too,” she thought.
However, Christopher did not agree with her.
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Yuliana asked, “Can’t I?”
“Ana, it’s not impossible.” Christopher frowned and tightened his embrace on Yuliana’s waist. “It’s just that that place is in poor condition, and we still have to take a six to seven hours car ride after getting
off the plane. You are pregnant now.”
“Our baby is fine,” answered Yuliana.
Yuliana was still aware of her physical condition. Since pregnancy, she had been in good health except for the first few months, and the child in her womb was also developing well.
It would be fine for her to take a few hours of a car ride.
In fact, she could tell Christopher was indeed reluctant to bring her along besides worrying about her physical condition.
Yuliana bent down and kissed him. “I’ll be worried if you go with Annabelle.”
Christopher was stunned. Looking at the honesty in her eyes, he suddenly had a different feeling and couldn’t help but smile. He kissed her lips and asked with a smile, “Are you jealous?”
Yuliana said, “Can’t I?”
Christopher got up from the floor and pinned Yuliana underneath his body. Playing her ears with his fingers, he whispered, “Of course, you can.”
“So I’m going with you.” Yuliana looked into his eyes..
The couple stared at each other. Christopher then lowered his gaze and stared at Yuliana’s lips. After a while, he rolled over and lay on the bed, looking at her obliquely. “Whether or not you can go will depend on your performance.”
Yuliana sat up from the bed, tidied up her hair, and asked confusedly, “What kind of performance?”
Christopher raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do you think?”
The next day, Christopher called Annabelle back.
Annabelle originally planned to set off on the fourth day of the New Year. But since Christopher had decided to bring Yuliana along, he had to make some preparations and change the date to one day later. Annabelle did not care about postponing it for a day, but she did not know Christopher was doing that for Yuliana either.
On the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, Annabelle’s face darkened when she saw Yuliana show up at the airport with Christopher.
Saying nothing to Christopher, she turned around and went to the security check with her flight ticket.
After getting on the plane, Christopher and Yuliana sat side by side while Annabelle sat in the same row but across the aisle. Once Annabelle had taken her seat, she immediately wore the sleep mask and napped. She even ignored the cabin crew who brought her the meal.
Yuliana had brought her tablet along and downloaded several movies. Christopher accompanied her to watch the movies for a while and fell asleep after eating something. Yuliana was still energetic and finished all the movies.
The plane was still traveling at a high altitude, and it would take another half an hour before it landed.
She put away the tablet, opened the window shade, stared out the window for a while, and then turned to look at the man beside her.
With a U-shaped pillow around his neck, Ch
ristopher rested his head against the chair’s backrest, tilting his head slightly to her side. He did not wear a sleep mask. As the dazzling light outside the window shone on the lower half of his face, it formed a stark contrast of color with the upper half of his face.
His skin was white and his eyelashes were long.
Once again, Yuliana stared at his face intently. She was dazed by the sight of the man until a sneer brought. her back to her senses.
She looked in the direction of the voice and found that, without her knowledge, Annabelle had already awake, taken off the sleeping eye mask, and was staring at her.
Yuliana shifted her gaze away once their eyes met Then, she adjusted her posture to rest her head against. Christopher’s shoulder and closed the window shade, preparing to nap.
Unexpectedly, the plane shook violently as soon as she closed her eyes.
Her heart raced, and she heard the screams of other passengers. Once she opened her eyes, she heard the announcement from the cabin crew,
