Chapter 91 If I Marry Yuliana
An awkward silence later, Christopher uttered, “Let me arrange a driver to send you home.” “No, thank you.” Yuliana declined his offer out of reflex.
Christopher’s face grew longer, “You don’t need a driver? Are you going to walk back home?”
Yuliana wanted to say that she could take a taxi by herself, but suddenly she remembered that the Solace residence was located in a private residential compound, and there were no other residents at all. When Layla arranged a cab to pick her up before, not a single car was found on the way, let alone a person. It was likely impossible to hail a cab here.
Noticing Yuliana’s silence, Christopher gave her a glance and turned around to leave.
After a moment of hesitation, Yuliana followed him.
In the end, Christopher didn’t arrange a driver but drove Yuliana back personally.
On the way back, neither of them said a word.
When they arrived at the gate of Maple Garden, Christopher drove away soon after Yuliana got out of his car.
It was already ten o’clock in the evening when Christopher returned to the Solace residence.
In the hall, all the members of the Solace family were present. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
It was bedtime for Zofia, so she had fallen asleep in the arms of Jared, her father. Alex, on the other hand, was finishing his homework in distress while biting the tip of his pen.
The atmosphere in the hall was not as harmonious and relaxing as it used to be. Instead, it was solemn.
When Christopher appeared in the hall, Kendrick looked up with a stern face.
Winnie’s face fell exceptionally when she saw Christopher. She quickly looked away from him when their eyes
met.
Finally, Layla broke the silence. “Did you send Ms. Livingstone back to her place?”
Christopher responded lightly. He walked to a one-person seat and sat down. His expression was indifferent, and it was hard to figure out what was on his mind.
Kendrick stared at him coldly for a while before uttering, “We can’t keep the baby!”
Hearing that, Layla froze and then turned to look at Kendrick.
Christopher frowned with cold, piercing eyes. “Who do you think you are? This is not your call!”
Kendrick put on a glacial smile. “Who do you think I am? Unless I’m dead, I’m the one in charge of the Solace family!”
Although Winnie felt that his eldest son’s words were a little too harsh, what he said made sense. Things would be so much simpler if the baby was not born.
Winnie advised, “Christopher, your brother is right. We can’t keep the baby. It’s the best choice for the Solace family and even Ms. Livingstone. After all, you still have Annabelle. Without the baby, Annabelle will be less perturbed. If you sweeten her up, there is still a chance for your marriage.”
“Mom!” Layla wrinkled her brows.
She wondered if Winnie really didn’t know what her son was thinking.
Ignoring Winnie’s words, Christopher maintained eye contact with Kendrick. “Do you really think it’s that easy to get an abortion in this law-based society?” Christopher argued.
“How childish,” Kendrick retorted sharply.
Christopher did know that what he said was childish, but he didn’t seem to have any other choice but to say that. “Could I really save the baby in Yuliana’s womb from Kendrick? She wants to keep the baby so badly,” he thought.
Christopher felt helpless and confused for a moment.
Growing up, Christopher was not afraid of Kendrick. Christopher was only obedient toward Kendrick because he held the latter in great esteem. With Kendrick’s presence, Christopher could be unrestrained and reckless.
Hence, Christopher had never disobeyed any decisions made by Kendrick.
But when it came to Yuliana and the baby, Christopher didn’t want to listen to Kendrick.
“Aren’t you just worried about repeating the same mistake and that the Solace family would be threatened?” Christopher curled his lips and sneered, “If I marry Yuliana, the child in her will not be an illegitimate child. That way, will it cease to be a threat to the Solace family?”
Kendrick stared at Christopher grimly for a while. “You’re going to marry her?”
Christopher lifted his chin. “Can’t I do that?”
“I disagree!” Winnie looked at Christopher and then at her eldest son, Kendrick. “That woman is tainted. Her father is Damian Livingstone, and she was once married. Her ex-husband is an illegitimate child of
the Ziegler family. How can such a woman marry my son and enter the Solace family!”
