Chapter 55 Welcome Back

Julio responded, then restarted the car, leaving Grand Island Mansion.

On the way back to Oceanview Apartment, Christopher picked up and checked on his phone. Therewere several missed calls from unknown numbers and dozens of messages received on WhatsApp. Hetook a look and then closed the app. He then stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

He looked out of the window silently.

Julio looked in the rearview mirror and only caught a glimpse of Christopher’s face. He watchedChristopher grow up and get used to his carefree and rebellious look. Christopher looked inexplicablyserious tonight, which Julio hadn’t gotten used to.

Julio hesitated for a few seconds and asked, “Mr. Solace, were you in a conflict with Ms. Johnson?”

The two of them had sat in the car before, but they ignored each other.

In his opinion, Christopher and Annabelle were like a quarrelsome couple. They had been quarreling allthese years. They sometimes looked like they were close but looked like enemies after a while. Both ofthem had long been used to it.

Julio wasn’t sure whether Christopher didn’t hear his question or he didn’t want to answer. He didn’trespond to Julio and continued to stare out of the window with his deep eyes.

Seeing that he didn’t get any response, Julio didn’t say anything more and drove quietly.

It was early in the morning, and most of the stores on the street had been closed. The corners of thestreet where the crowds passed by during the day were empty, and only one or two people could beseen occasionally.

Suddenly, Christopher’s eyes paused, and he ordered, “Julio, pull over.”

“What’s wrong?” Julio was confused, but he stopped the car slowly by the roadside.

Christopher then opened the door and got off the car. He strode to the pedestrian crossing ahead andtrotted across the road. Julio watched the other walk and stopped at a road stall across the street.

“What would you like to order, young man?” A woman in her fifties set up the stall. Her hair was half-white.

Christopher replied, “I would like a chicken soup without red pepper flakes and parsley in it. Pleasehelp pack the order away.”

The woman smiled and said, “The chicken soup is added with a little pinch of red pepper flakes to bringout the flavor, but it will not taste too strong when you drink it. Is it okay?”

Christopher pondered for a few seconds and replied, “It’s fine.”

The woman said again, “Please wait for a few minutes. The soup will be prepared soon.”

Then the woman turned on the fire and started to cook and prepare the chicken soup in a pot.

Christopher looked at the chicken soup boiling in the pot with white smoke shrouding out, feeling a littleabsent-minded. He then looked out at the distance until the soup was cooked. The woman packed thesoup up and shouted, “Young man, the soup is ready!” Christopher came back to his senses. Afterpaying for the chicken soup, Christopher quickly returned to the car with the food.

Julio asked, “Mr. Solace, are you still hungry tonight?”

“Yeah.” Christopher just lightly mumbled out the word and said nothing more. He tightened his hold ofthe chicken soup package in his hands all the way.

Back to Oceanview Apartment, Christopher got out of the elevator and stood at the door for a moment.He then opened and entered the door.

There were lights in the living room, but it was extremely quiet, almost as if no one was present.

Christopher opened the door, strode into the room, and looked around. Then something passed by hisvision. He paused and saw Yuliana sitting up from the couch.

“Welcome back,” Yuliana greeted.

Yuliana woke up when she heard the door closing. She tidied her hair and looked at the man standingnot far away.

She had just woken up and was not wholly conscious, so Yuliana looked at the man with blurry vision,and her eyes lacked coldness. Her voice also sounded hoarse when she spoke.

Christopher stared at her for a while, and his chest was slightly heaving. Afterward, he walked to thecouch. and put the chicken soup on the coffee table.

In just a few seconds, Yuliana was completely awake. She raised her wrist and looked at the timeshown on the watch. She stated, “It’s late already. I have to go to class tomorrow. We can make anappointment later if you want to talk about the baby. I have to go back now.

After being locked up for more than four hours by Christopher, it was not like Yuliana didn’t have a badtemper at all. It was just that her temper had been subdued over time. It was already late when shewoke up after a sleep, but the rest calmed her.

When he heard what she said, Christopher stared at her but didn’t say anything.

Yuliana locked eyes with him for a while. She picked up her bag on the couch and got up to leave.

Before she could take the first step, Christopher grabbed her wrist and said, “You are not allowed to goanywhere until I figure everything out!”
