Chapter 95 He Has Feelings For Someone Else
Yuliana’s expression darkened slightly after hearing Christopher’s statement.
She shot Christopher a glance wordlessly before walking away quickly.
Christopher stared at her retreating silhouette with a look of confusion on his face. Then, he strode forward and quickly caught up with her. “I’ll drive you home.”
Yuliana turned the offer down coldly. “No, thanks.”
She was no longer in the Solace residence. There were cars everywhere, so she could easily flag down a cab. “Yuliana!” Christopher grabbed her hand and forced her to stop once again. “Take another step. I dare you!” Yuliana shook his hand off and tried to walk away stubbornly.
Christopher rushed up to her and scooped Yuliana into his arms.
Yuliana started struggling immediately, causing Christopher to stop. He still had a firm hold on her. “If you dare to move an inch, I’ll toss you to the ground. Think about the consequences!” he threatened.
The sight of his stormy expression caused fear to spark within Yuliana’s heart. She made eye contact with Christopher for a moment before finally settling down in his arms.
Christopher carried Yuliana into his car and put on her seatbelt for her. Then, he drove her home.
No one spoke on the way home.
Before getting out of the car, Christopher finally said, “If you really want to keep the baby, just think my suggestion through.”
Yuliana paused for a moment. Finally, she got out of the car without saying anything.
It was already five o’clock when she got home.
Yuliana prepared dinner for herself, which consisted of two simple dishes. However, she still needed more than an hour to complete the cooking process. At least the dishes no longer tasted weird compared to the first time she started cooking for herself.
After she was done eating, she started planning for the upcoming classes.
During Yuliana’s first year as a teacher, she faced tremendous pressure in her career. She used to spend a lot of time preparing for her classes as she was afraid she might not be able to teach well. She spent countless nights looking through PowerPoint presentations and documents, hoping that she could plan every second of the classes flawlessly.
Thankfully, Yuliana got the hang of teaching from the second year onward. Every evening, she just needed an hour to digest the information she wanted to teach the next day.
After all lesson preparations were done, Yuliana sat on a chair while hugging her legs to her chest.
She couldn’t help but think about the proposal Christopher had made to her that afternoon.
Yuliana had heard from Damian in the past that Kendrick was more precise and brutal when it came to dealing with matters when compared to his father. He would never involve his emotions in work matters. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to support the Solace family through their greatest crisis in the past.
If it weren’t for Kendrick, the Solace family wouldn’t be as successful as they are currently.
Kendrick would never waste time spouting nonsense to her.
Yuliana’s mind was a jumbled mess at the moment. She couldn’t figure out what was going on.
After a slight hesitation, she grabbed her phone and dialed a number.
A short while later, the call went through. A woman’s self-deprecating voice drifted through the speaker. “It’s rare for you to call my number.”
Yuliana took a deep breath before saying, “I can’t make up my mind about a certain matter, so I’d like to ask for your opinion.”
The woman on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. When she finally spoke up, her tone was gentler than before. “What’s the matter?”
Yuliana pursed her lips together. “I’m pregnant.”
“Is it Harry’s baby?”
“No.”
Yuliana paused for a second before filling Callie in on the gist of the events.
Once Callie heard everything, she replied, “Ana, I can help you out, but to be honest with you, I don’t want to do that at all.”
Yuliana asked, “Why?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Callie explained, “Do you know how difficult it is to raise a kid? As a woman with limited capabilities, it’ll be extremely hard for you to raise this baby in a happy and lavish environment. If you were to get married to Christopher, you’d be the daughter-in-law of the Solace family. On the other hand, your baby would become the precious and loved boy of the Solace family. He’d be blessed with the best and the most advantageous conditions at the start of his life. However, if I do help you out, are you sure you’ll
be able to find yourself a husband with a similar identity and background as compared to Christopher? Can you guarantee that he’ll view the baby you’ve had with another man as his own?”
A moment later, Callie continued, “Yuliana, what happened to the burst of courage you had when you insisted on marrying Harry in the past?”
The reason why Callie didn’t want to marry Yuliana off to Harry was not only due to his identity as an illegitimate child. She felt that he was extremely manipulative and never had actual feelings for Yuliana.in the first place. Instead, he chose her because of her identity as Damian’s daughter.
As the daughter of Damian Livingstone and Callie Xenos, Yuliana could get married to any guy she wanted. Why would she choose to get married to an illegitimate child with nothing under his name?
Aside from those facts, Harry was quite a character. He was able to make a name for himself in the Ziegler family within a few years.
Things changed over time. The current situation was completely different.
With her father in prison and a failed marriage in the past, Yuliana would always be scrutinized by society with biases based on these two matters.
As a mother, it was natural for Callie to think about her daughter’s future in a selfish way. If Yuliana could marry Christopher and become the Solace family’s daughter-in-law, that would be the best option for her. As for Christopher, Callie might not have met him before, but she could tell that Yuliana paused and hesitated unconsciously every time she mentioned his name.
Obviously, Yuliana harbored some feelings for him.
Yuliana breathed in deeply with a frown. “He has feelings for someone else.”
“So what?” Callie smiled in response. “Yuliana, are you that insecure of yourself? Even if Christopher doesn’t like
you in the future, you’re still his wife, so you won’t lose out on anything. If you’re unhappy with your life in the future, you can always divorce him. I’ll definitely help you get your share when that time comes.”
Callie was a very rational and realistic person who had long passed the stage where love mattered the most in a relationship. In her opinion, Yuliana’s emotional dilemma was nothing compared to the problems that manifested in real life.
