Chapter 203 It Is Mediocre

The plane got caught up in disrupted airflow Hence, there was turbulence.

Yuliana was slightly relieved. It was common for such a situation to occur during a plane ride.

Previously, she was afraid because there was an aviation accident in the first half of last year. The plane was destroyed, leaving no survivors. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Christopher woke up due to the jolt. He opened his eyes and glimpsed at Annabelle before turning over to look at Yuliana. The latter also raised her head toward him. The couple exchanged glances for a second silently.

Following that, the plane experienced severe turbulence again.

The bottles of water on the front shelf fell off. The overhead compartment also got unlatched due to the continuous jolts, and the luggage started tumbling down.

“Ah!”

Screams of terror erupted on the plane..

Yuliana, who had just managed to calm herself down, felt nervous again. While panicking, she gripped the chair armrest with one hand and wanted to grasp Christopher’s arm with the other. However, she grabbed onto nothing. The man beside her had unfastened his seat belt and got up.

Yuliana’s gaze followed wherever Christopher went. It was only then she realized Annabelle had fallen on the aisle. Christopher intended to help her up. Unfortunately, the plane shook violently, causing them to bump themselves into everything.

Seized with terror by what she saw, Yuliana couldn’t help but shout, “Christopher!”

Christopher didn’t respond to her. He held onto the armrest and finally pulled Annabelle back to her seat. After tugging the seat belt and buckling it up for her, he returned to his seat and fastened his seat belt.

An indescribably complicated emotion swelled in Yuliana’s heart as she stared at the man who had returned to her side.

Yuliana glanced at Annabelle again. Seeing the other party’s terror-stricken face, she figured she was probably scared. Her knuckles even turned pale due to how tightly she gripped the armrest.

Christopher only proceeded to look at Yuliana after settling down. Realization finally dawned upon him when he noticed her expression.

Yuliana glared at him before shifting her gaze toward the window.

After four to five minutes of continuous turbulence, everything eventually returned to normal. The broadcast got relayed again throughout the aircraft cabin. Afterward, the flight attendants appeared and helped to arrange the fallen luggage back in their original position. Subsequently, they reassured the passengers again.

The plane landed later than its scheduled time due to turbulence.

It was precisely lunchtime when the plane landed. The trio found a place to eat at the airport before directly departing from the location.

Even before arriving, Christopher already got in touch with a driver to drive them in a car. Annabelle sat in the front passenger seat while Christopher and Yuliana sat in the back.

Nonetheless, because of the incident on the plane, Yuliana wasn’t in a good mood and ignored Christopher. After boarding the car, she huddled in the corner and looked at her phone for a while.

Callie had sent Yuliana a message regarding the latter going to Jeahron with Christopher.

Yuliana originally planned to go to Jeahron last year. However, there was a turn of events at the Romdale branch, and Christopher couldn’t take time off. Hence, she thought about going there before the year ended. Nonetheless, they were currently going to pay respect to Annabelle’s father. Therefore, she had to delay the

trip.

Thinking of this, she turned around to look at Christopher and wanted to ask him about his schedule after returning to Juxshire.

However, she was stunned when she saw Christopher’s appearance.

Christopher was looking out of the window, his face void of emotions. He was completely different from usual.

Although they were sitting so close that they could touch the other person if they stretched out their hands, Yuliana felt Christopher was so distant that he was beyond her reach.

Yuliana pursed her lips and reached out to hold the man’s hand. “Christopher.”

Hearing her voice, Christopher glanced at her. He didn’t have time to stow away the emotions in his eyes. Those sentiments were like bubbles that young children blew and could easily burst even with a gentle touch.

Nevertheless, he managed to conceal his feelings completely right after that.

Christopher’s lips quirked up “Do you Want to rest for a while? There are still more than five hours left.”

Yuliana opened her mouth and wanted to say something. However, she retracted what she wanted to say. Instead, she smiled gently and nodded. “Okay, I want to sleep while leaning on you.”

Christopher stretched out his arm, and Yuliana scooted closer to him and leaned her head on his chest.

As she shut her eyes, the image of how Christopher looked from before surfaced in her mind repeatedly.

To outsiders, Annabelle’s father was a hero who sacrificed himself to save a young life. However, it might not be the same for Christopher.

Some people might feel fortunate to be alive, even if others had traded their life for them.

Yet, some might not think the same way.

Instead, it was a heavy burden that shackled them.

Yuliana didn’t know what the scene of Annabelle’s father saving Christopher was like, but from Layla’s simple description, she could imagine how startling the sight was to Christopher, who was only a six- year-old child at that time.

It must be the same for Annabelle too.

Therefore, it was something outsiders could never understand. However, both of them could empathize with each other.

Yuliana felt she might have regarded the matter too lightly.

It was already past eight o’clock in Yarwood.

The altitude here was high, and the weather was chilly. Throughout the journey, snow or ice scattered on the road, causing it to be very slippery. Hence, the driver drove slowly, resulting in them arriving at their destination more than an hour later than expected.

Upon arrival, the three people stopped over at a hotel first.

Annabelle took her keycard and returned to her room. She still had not interacted with Christopher.

Yuliana watched her tow her plain-looking luggage before looking at Christopher. The man had also gotten a keycard and was walking straight to her. He held the luggage’s extendable handle as he spoke. “Let’s head to the third floor.”

Yuliana hummed in response and followed beside him to the elevator.

After arriving at the county, Yuliana observed that the houses there were not tall. The hotel they had checked into had only six to seven floors. It was considered quite a tall building here.

She had been to many cities since she was a child. However, visiting a place like Yarwood was a first.

After going upstairs, Christopher boiled some water using a kettle. He then poured it into a basin before adding some cold water. “You should soak your feet first.”

On the road, Yuliana mentioned that her legs and feet were slightly swollen, which felt uncomfortable.

Yuliana sat on the chair, took off her shoes, and put her feet in the basin. The water was a little hot, but that was just the perfect temperature. She felt relaxed and satisfied once soaking her feet in it.

“Is it hot?” Christopher squatted next to her and scooped up some water, pouring it on her calves.

Yuliana propped both hands on the chair. She lowered her eyes to look at him. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head. “No.”

Her answer made Christopher think that the water was rather cold. “Should I add more hot water?”

Yuliana shook her head again. “It’s fine. Thank you.”

Everything felt just right to her.

If he added lesser hot water, she would feel cold On the other hand, if he poured more, she would feel it was overly hot.

Christopher couldn’t help but chuckle at her dazed appearance Then, he submerged his hands in hot water, massaging her soles and calves. He asked again. “Is the strength acceptable?”

“It is.” Yuliana looked at him while grinning, and her eyes curved like crescent moons. “You’re like a masseur today.”

A smile graced Christopher’s face. “How is my skill?”

When Yuliana was about to praise him, she suddenly recalled something and corrected herself, “It’s mediocre.”

“Mediocre? What do you mean by that?” Christopher demanded.

Yuliana smiled and said nothing.

She stared at the crown of Christopher’s head for a while before saying, “Do you want to visit Annabelle? Something seems off about her.”
