Chapter 35 Stop Crying

“I shouldn’t trouble you, Mr. Solace. I’ll hail a taxl myself,” said Yuliana indifferently yet resolutely.

Christopher shot Yuliana a cold gaze upon hearing that. He pursed his thin lips and curled them into asneer. He turned and left without saying anything.

“Chris!” Raymond shouted. Christopher ignored him, walking away without looking back.

After Christopher walked far enough, Raymond shook his head and clicked his tongue annoyingly. Heglanced at Yuliana before speaking to Xandria. “Hey, chubby girl, I have something to do tonight. I’llvisit Mr. and Mrs. Yeager at the Yeager residence some other day!”

As soon as Raymond finished his sentence, he followed Christopher right away.

Xandria let out a snort. “What the hell?”

Raymond had offered to send Xandria back a minute ago. In the end, he excused himself and ran offfirst.

“Who cares if you don’t give me a lift?” After saying that, Xandria turned to Yuliana and declared, “Let’sgo, Yuliana. I’ll send you back!”

It was getting late, and the sky was turning darker.

On the way back, Xandria told Yuliana that Christopher would marry Annabelle.

Suddenly hearing that news, Yuliana took quite a moment to process the information.

“What would Harry become once Annabelle marries Christopher?” she mused. That was the firstthought that came to her mind upon returning to her senses.

When Yuliana was in a daze, Xandria said sarcastically. “This is what we called retribution! Harry is buta disgraceful, illegitimate child. Back then, he did everything he could to climb the social ladder. Hethought attaining status while dressing up in a classy tuxedo would make him a man from the upperechelon, didn’t he? In Annabelle’s eyes, he’s nothing more than a lapdog. Annabelle still dumped himlike three years ago and chose to be with a nobleman, Mr. Solace…”

“Stop it, Xani!” Yuliana interrupted, hushing her friend altogether.

Xandria was unhappy to hear that. “You’re still defending him!”

Xandria could not figure out the reason. “What charm does Harry have to make Yuliana devote to himfor the past decade? That jerk even divorced Yuliana to be with Annabelle, but Yuliana’s still defendinghim,” she pondered.

“I’m not defending him…” Yuliana wanted to explain, but she felt that Xandria might not understand her.Back when Yuliana chose to marry Harry, they both knew that Harry had agreed to the marriage onlybecause Yuliana was Damian’s daughter, not because of love.

It was just Yuliana’s wishful thinking that Harry would one day fall for her.

In the past three years of their marriage, although Harry had not fulfilled his obligation as a husband, hehad not mistreated her. The only downside of their marriage was the somewhat displeasing sceneduring their divorce.

Xandria did not believe Yuliana’s words at all. She only thought that Yuliana was still not over Harry.“I’m so mad at you, Yuliana!” she fumed.

In Xandria’s opinion, Harry was a heartless ugly duckling through and through.

During their senior year in university, Harry had been dumped by Annabelle before he went to wooYuliana. Harry had somehow managed to sweet-talk Yuliana and bewitched her. After graduation,Yuliana married Harry.

Immediately afterward, Harry returned to the Ziegler family as Damian’s son-in-law. Over the past threeyears, Harry had been ruthless and had done whatever it took to become the second-in-command ofthe Ziegler Group. After gaining fame and fortune, he, however, turned his back on Yuliana and got adivorce, leaving her side with no strings attached.

When Yuliana had just gotten divorced, Xandria held back the urge to say anything for fear that Yulianawould be upset. After several months, Xandria thought that Yuliana would have more or less let go ofwhat had happened. She never expected Yuliana to defend Harry right after she dropped someremarks about that

man.

Of course, Yuliana knew that Xandria was only worried about her and was just standing up for her.“Xani, I’m not trying to defend him at all.”

Xandria gestured for Yuliana to stop talking. “That’s enough. You don’t have to explain anymore. You’donly come off as if you’re hiding something. I get what you mean, and I don’t want to end up giving youthe silent treatment again for months just because of Harry!”

When Yuliana decided to marry Harry, Xandria had been very opposed to that decision and evenfought with Yuliana, giving the latter the silent treatment for quite some time.

Yuliana knew that Xandria was angry, so she did not want to argue with Xandria. She would wait forXandria to simmer down before talking to Xandria again.

The two of them did not utter another word after that. After dropping Yuliana off at the residential areaentrance, Xandria left.

When Yuliana reached home, she rested for a bit. It was barely after 9 pm. when she finished hershower. She turned on the computer to prepare for her upcoming lessons.

Sometime later, the room suddenly went dark as all the lights went out.

Yuliana was dumbfounded. It had been two months since she moved to Maple Garden, but it was thefirst time she had encountered such a situation.

Yuliana looked out of the window, only to see a power supply for the rest of the community in theresidential

area

Her home was the only household to experience a power outage.

Yuliana’s mind was in a mess. She did not know what to do. After thinking for a while, she fumbled toreplace her phone and called the landlord.

The landlord suggested, “Maybe it’s time for you to pay the electricity bill. Why don’t you swipe theelectricity card at the meter first? It should last you for a couple of days. You should settle the electricitybill as soon as possible.”

Yuliana did what the landlord told her to do. After she swiped the electricity card at the meter, her homewas still pitch black.

Since the landlord lived quite far from Yuliana, the landlord was helpless just as well and suggestedYuliana seek help from the management office.

Yuliana then dialed the management office’s number.

The staff of the management office on duty arranged for an electrician to come over for inspection, butthe electrician was busy at that moment and could only come over after half an hour.

All Yuliana could do was wait.

As time passed, Yuliana sat on the couch in the living room and looked at her phone. The entire spacewas dark with only a glimmer of light from her phone screen.

She checked the time and found that half an hour had passed, yet the electrician had yet to arrive.When Yuliana wanted to call the management office again to ask, she heard a knock on the door. Shethought it was the electrician, so she hurriedly got up from the couch to answer the door. However, assoon as the door was opened, a tall, shadowy figure approached and tried to press Yuliana down.before she could even see the face of the person.

Yuliana could not bear the heavy weight of that person and subconsciously took a few steps backward.

At that moment, the shadowy figure pressed against Yuliana’s body and pushed her into the house.That person then closed the door behind him and pressed Yuliana against the door instead.

The process was so fast that Yuliana had no time to react. She could only feel a sharp pain on her lips.Only then did she realize what situation she was in. A sudden burst of fear assailed her heart.

Yuliana struggled hard to resist. The person clenched her wrist with one hand and gripped her chin withthe other, forcing her to raise her head.

Yuliana could not get a clear view of the person’s face in the dark. All she had was a blur vision of thatperson’s features. She was so scared that tears began to gush out of her eyes and stream down hercheeks.

Suddenly, the person paused momentarily before gently kissing her cheeks covered with tears. Ahoarse male voice then rang out. “Stop crying…”

Upon hearing that voice, Yuliana was stunned for a moment, but her body was still tremblinguncontrollably. and she shed even more tears.

As Yuliana trembled in fear, she clenched her teeth, forcing herself to call out, “Christopher!”

“Hmm?” Christopher grunted a faint reply as he continued to kiss her face, the tip of her nose, and herlips.

Yuliana’s chest was inundated with mixed emotions. She felt bitter and uncomfortable, yet there was noway for her to vent. Her tears continuously flowed out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Shecould not stop herself from crying, so even her body began to spasm.

“Don’t cry…” Christopher said impatiently.

He let go of Yuliana’s hand and chin as he listened to her sobbing. Yuliana’s cries were like a chantingspell, which made Christopher feel a bit of a headache. He did not know how to stop the woman fromcrying. After a while, Christopher clumsily wiped away Yuliana’s tears and threatened, “If you cry again,I’ll take off your clothes.”

When Yuliana heard that threat, she gradually stopped dropping tears. It was not that she was afraid ofthe threat, but she felt ashamed to cry like a fool in front of Christopher.
