Chapter 29 My Husband Is Harry

Yuliana carried a lot of things in her hand, including a large bag of fresh vegetables and fruits,textbooks, and a laptop. She now had to open the door with one hand, while the other was holding allthe stuff together. She had no energy to deal with Christopher, so she ignored his words and openedthe door before going in with all the stuff in her hands.

Christopher, on the other hand, had no qualms about following social etiquette. Yuliana opened thedoor and had already gone inside, so he followed her in.

Yuliana put the messenger bag containing the textbooks and laptop on the couch, carried thevegetables and fruits into the kitchen, and put them in the refrigerator one by one. Only then did shebegin to think about going out and dealing with Christopher. However, she saw Christopher leaningagainst the entrance of the kitchen with his arms crossed in front of his chest as soon as she turnedaround. Yuliana did not know how long he had been watching her.

Her gaze fell on Christopher’s figure for a moment. After a short while, Yuliana walked out of thekitchen and poured two glasses of water. She put one of the glasses on the coffee table and drank fromthe one in her hand slowly.

The most important thing to teachers was their throats. Yuliana’s mouth was dry, and her throat wassore after teaching several classes a day. Only drinking plenty of water could relieve the pain. In recentyears, Yuliana had developed the habit of holding a glass in her hand when idle.

Yuliana took a sip from the glass and then looked at Christopher. “Mr. Solace, what can I do for you?”

Christopher walked over slowly and sat down on the couch beside Yuliana. He picked up the glass onthe coffee table and held it in his hand. It was exactly the same as the glass in Yuliana’s hand. It was acommon transparent drinking glass.

Christopher looked down for a while and did not drink. Instead, he said, “Shouldn’t I ask you that? Whatdid you want from me the other day?”

Yuliana lowered her eyelids and took another sip from her glass. Christopher saw her movements andfrowned. “Did you not have a drop of water for the past few days? Why are you so thirsty?”

Yuliana was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice, “I got two classes in the afternoon, so mythroat is uncomfortable.”

Christopher did not respond to that.

Yuliana drank more than half a glass and felt her throat was no longer painfully dry. She put down theglass and answered Christopher’s previous question, “I actually wanted to ask you for help when Iasked you to meet me the other day. Now that I have solved it, there is no need to trouble youanymore, Mr. Solace.” Christopher stared at her dull expression. He pondered for a few seconds beforeasking, “What happened?” Yuliana replied, “Nothing big.”

Her perfunctory attitude made Christopher even more suspicious, but he could not think of any reasonsfor the time being.

“Yuliana, don’t let me replace out-”

Yuliana suddenly stood up hurriedly before Christopher could finish talking. She covered her mouth andran into the bathroom. Christopher was still figuring out what was happening when he heard the soundof retching in the bathroom.

He got up and went over to the bathroom. The door of the bathroom was half-closed. He saw Yulianakneeling on the ground and retching on the toilet when he opened the door.

Yuliana was nearly 5.6 feet tall. She was not petite among girls, but she had a small frame. She lookedso fragile and small when she curled in on herself. From the back, her trembling figure evoked adistressing feeling for anyone who saw her at the moment.

Christopher pursed his lips tightly and watched her from the door for a while. He came forward whenYuliana stopped retching and took out several tissues from the tissue box. He then handed them overto her.

A hand and a few tissues suddenly appeared in Yuliana’s sight. She was stunned for a moment beforereaching out to take them. After wiping her mouth with the tissues, she pressed the flush button andstood up from the ground after another half a minute. Yuliana pursed her lower lip slightly while lookingat

Christopher, who was standing beside her. She then weakly said, “Thank you.”

She walked to the sink and turned on the tap. The sound of splashing water echoed in the narrowbathroom. Yuliana concentrated on washing her hands, but she could clearly feel a pair of eyes staringat her at that

moment.

Yuliana always had her hair tied in a low ponytail at work. She also always kept her hair length belowher shoulders and had just been to the barbershop to trim her hair before school started. Strands ofshort hair escaped her ponytail and covered the side of her face, probably because of her movementwhen she was retching just now.

Christopher stared at the strands of hair that were covering Yuliana’s profile and thought that they werean eyesore as moments passed. He couldn’t help but reach out to tuck the hair away.

Yuliana noticed his movements before his hand could touch her hair while she was washing her hands.She avoided Christopher’s hand in a very noticeable manner.

Christopher’s hand touched nothing, and it froze in midair.

The two stared at each other. Yuliana had a guarded look in her eyes, along with a trace of disgust thatwas not so noticeable.

The obscure look in Christopher’s eyes instantly faded, and his thin lips curled up into a sneer. Hecould not stop himself from saying, “Ms. Livingstone seems to hate me very much, but what can youdo? You’re still mine no matter how much you hate me, no?”

Yuliana’s chest heaved violently upon hearing that. She stared at Christopher for a while and finallycould not control herself when she saw the frivolous and joking look in his eyes. She raised her handand flung it toward Christopher’s face.

Christopher grabbed her wrist easily and looked at Yuliana’s now reddened face from her fury. “Are youso ashamed to the point of anger?”

He paused, stared at Yuliana’s eyes, and smiled evilly before pointing his finger at Yuliana’s chest.“Yuliana, I always thought you were innocent and pure. However, in bed, you are not-”

“Shut up, Christopher!” Yuliana gritted her teeth.

Yuliana’s eyes were red, and her hair was in a disarray and plastered on her face. Her collarbone andchest were heaving up and down, giving her an indescribable sense of shattered beauty.

Christopher’s eyes became darker, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “Am I wrong? You keptcalling me ‘honey’ that night. Begging me-”

“You think I was calling you ‘honey?” Yuliana looked at him coldly. “His name is Harry, and he is the oneI’m calling ‘honey.’ He is my husband, not you. I just thought you were him at that time. If I knew it wasyou, vomiting would be the first thing I’d do!”

“Yuliana!” Christopher shoved Yuliana to the wall behind her and pinned her wrists on the wall. “I dareyou to say that again!”

Yuliana chuckled faintly. “What are you going to do? Are you going to hurt a woman, Mr. Solace? Youasked me if I am so ashamed to the point of anger just now, right? Who’s angry now?”

Christopher pursed his lips and stared at Yuliana for a while. The fury in his eyes gradually faded as hecalmed down. He then sneered, “Yuliana, Harry is not your husband. He is your ex-husband. You’rejust an abandoned woman who was kicked out of the house by him! However, you are so desperateand dumb enough to still love him!”

After a slight pause, Christopher added, “Unfortunately, he didn’t hear what you just said. Otherwise, hemay be moved by your words and change his mind!”

Christopher let go of Yuliana’s wrist after saying that and left the bathroom.

Yuliana heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside after a few moments. Her heart waspounding so hard to the point that she felt it was unbearable. She slid down the wall before crouching.

Yuliana did not want to have a meaningless argument with Christopher, but she did not know why shewould act like this every time she faced the man.
