Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 200 You Stink

They kept hugging each other in the same position, but Yuliana could not stand it anymore after a while.

She struggled to get up.

Christopher instinctively tightened his arms and held her tightly against his chest, holding her intimately. Yuliana was

getting more and more uncomfortable. She felt like her belly was being squeezed, and her body was being twisted.

She looked up to talk to Christopher and coincidentally met his gaze.

Christopher’s eyes were bright and clear. There was only pureness being reflected on Yuliana’s face.

Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She felt like she was being pulled into Christopher’s gaze. After looking at each

other for two seconds, Christopher suddenly lowered his head and leaned towards her.

Yuliana panicked and instinctively covered his mouth when she realized what he would do.

Both of them came to their senses and were taken aback.

Yuliana wanted to pull her hand away from Christopher’s mouth, but after hesitating for a while, she left it there.

“You can’t kiss me tonight. I’ll only let go of my hand if you agree. And if you don’t agree…” Her tone was firm.

Christopher’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and then his eyes glinted mischievously. Yuliana could feel his lips moving

under her hand.

“And if I don’t agree?”

Yuliana felt a little embarrassed meeting his gaze. It was not like she could cover his mouth the whole night if he

disagreed.

“I’ll seal your mouth with duct tape if you don’t agree,” said Yuliana in mock fierceness after a few seconds.

After saying that, she made herself laugh when she imagined what Christopher would look like with his mouth duct-

taped and some other random scenario.

Christopher raised his hand and grabbed Yuliana’s wrist. Her wrist was so small that his hand could easily encircle it

with some space left. However, it was not bony, for he could feel the soft flesh when pressing it. He could not get

enough of the feeling.

He grabbed her wrist, pressed the back of her hand against his lips, and said, “Fine, I won’t kiss your lips, but you

didn’t say anything about kissing your hand.”

“You stink,” said Yukana with a smile, acting as she minded.

She actually did not mind the smell of alcohol. It was the taste of the red pepper flakes from the hangover remedy

that Christopher drank, combined with the smell of the alcohol, that made Yuliana feel uncomfortable.

“You really hate the smell of red pepper flakes, huh?” Christopher parted his lips and bit her hand.

Yuliana propped up his body, changed her position, and leaned against him on the bed. “How do you know I hate

the smell of red pepper flakes? I’ve never told you that, right?” she asked.

Christopher looked at her and paused himself. He realized he had said something he should not have. He touched

his nose and said, “I heard it from Hailey.”

Yuliana looked at his embarrassed expression and found his words suspicious, but she did not press further. She

leaned against his chest and murmured, “I haven’t eaten red pepper flakes since childhood. I can’t stand the taste.

I remember one time when I was eating at school, I accidentally ate some red pepper flakes, and I threw up on the

spot.”

In fact, she did not only throw up, but she also fainted.

She had to go to the cafeteria with her classmates because she accidentally spilled her packed lunch. She had

forgotten what food she had ordered from the cafeteria. She thought the red pepper flakes were some other dried

herbs, su she ate them without giving them much thought. However, her gag reflex made her throw up after she

had a bite.

Yuliana’s classmates were frightened. They thought she was sick.

Later, even the cafeteria staff rushed over because they thought something was wrong with the food.

She fell into a daze after throwing up. There was still the taste of red pepper flakes in her mouth, and her stomach

kept cramping and twisting even though she threw up everything she could. She was embarrassed to be at the

center of attention for the wrong reason and finally passed but from the stress.

When she woke up, she was in the infirmary. Xandria heard the news and rushed over. Yuliana asked her to buy

chewing gum. She chewed several pieces to cover up the taste of the red pepper flakes.

And because of this, Xandria made fun of her for years.

It was the only time since her birth that Yuliana had publicly done something so embarrassing.

Although she still could not stand the taste of red pepper flakes now that she had grown, she did not find it as

repulsive as before. She would just spit it out and gargle her mouth on the occasional moments when she

accidentally ate it.

However, the smell of the red pepper flakes emitting from Christopher’s mouth was too much.

She could not even stand the thought of kissing him on the lips.

She was afraid she would throw up again. And this time, it would be on Christopher.

Christopher’s expression was a bit off. He coughed lightly and said, “It’s not a big deal if you don’t want to eat red

pepper flakes.”

“Thanks,” said Yuliana lightly. She leaned against him and fell silent.

Christopher did not say anything either.

There was more than a trace of tenderness in the room.

Yuliana liked their state, but some things just could not be ignored, even if she tried to run away from them. They

still needed to be solved. Otherwise, she would never be able to get what she wanted.

Although it was not the best timing, being New Year’s Eve and all, she did not want to leave it until next year.

“Christopher.” Yuliana looked up at him and asked, “Can we talk about Annabelle?”

Christopher’s eyebrows twitched slightly to the point of being almost unnoticeable. Yuliana did not notice it because

of how she was angled toward him.

She stared at Christopher for a while, and seeing that he did not say anything, she continued, “I never knew how

you feel toward Annabelle. I used to think you loved her, but today Layla told me that Annabelle’s father sacrificed

himself to save you.”

And because of that, Yuliana felt that the bond between Christopher and Annabelle was more than love.

“I would be so guilt-fidden if someone died to save me,” thought Yuliana. In fact, all the things Christopher had done

for Annabelle were to alleviate his own guilt.

Every time he did something for Annabelle, he would feel a little relieved.

“In the past, no matter what you did for Annabelle, it was for your own business. But it’s different now. You’re my

husband and the father of my child. You have a duty to protect us. I hope you put my child and me first. before you

do anything. Secondly, as a wife, I don’t want my husband to be too enmeshed with other women, so if we want to

continue our marriage, you have to promise me that you will keep a proper distance from Annabelle in the future.”

Yuliana’s expression was light, and her voice was very calm, but her tone was serious and left no room for

negotiation.

Annabelle’s father lost his life to save Christopher, so it would be unrealistic for him to break off contact with

Annabelle completely. What Yuliana wanted was assurance from Christopher that he would be willing to change his

unhealthy relationship with Annabelle for the sake of her and his child.

“This is the premise of me promising not to divorce you.” Yuliana got up from him and looked into his eyes.

“Christopher, we can stay married if you can do that, but if you can’t, then it’s better if we end things now.”

Christopher kept his expression neutral throughout Yuliana’s speech.

His Adam’s apple slowly bobbed up and down while he looked at Yuliana. After a long silence, he reached out his

hand to hold Yuliana tightly in his arms and said in a deep voice, “Okay.”

Yuliana’s eyes teared up a little at his reply while the corners of her lips rose up on their own accord. She looked at

him with bright, shiny eyes.

Smiling, Christopher looked at her smiling red eyes. “Hey?”

A few loud bangs came from outside the room just when Yuliana was about to say something. The dark night sky

was also suddenly illuminated. The two of them looked out the window simultaneously and saw at huge firework

exploding in the night sky.

The two of them stared dazedly at the fireworks for a long time until the night sky returned to normal.

Christopher asked, “What did you want to say?”
