Chapter 29 My Husband Is Harry
Yuliana carried a lot of things in her hand, including a large bag of fresh vegetables and fruits, textbooks, and a laptop. She now had to open the door with one hand, while the other was holding all the stuff together. She had no energy to deal with Christopher, so she ignored his words and opened the door before going in with all the stuff in her hands.
Christopher, on the other hand, had no qualms about following social etiquette. Yuliana opened the door and had already gone inside, so he followed her in.
Yuliana put the messenger bag containing the textbooks and laptop on the couch, carried the vegetables and fruits into the kitchen, and put them in the refrigerator one by one. Only then did she begin to think about going out and dealing with Christopher. However, she saw Christopher leaning against the entrance of the kitchen with his arms crossed in front of his chest as soon as she turned around. Yuliana did not know how long he had been watching her.
Her gaze fell on Christopher’s figure for a moment. After a short while, Yuliana walked out of the kitchen and poured two glasses of water. She put one of the glasses on the coffee table and drank from the one in her hand slowly.
The most important thing to teachers was their throats. Yuliana’s mouth was dry, and her throat was sore after teaching several classes a day. Only drinking plenty of water could relieve the pain. In recent years, Yuliana had developed the habit of holding a glass in her hand when idle.
Yuliana took a sip from the glass and then looked at Christopher. “Mr. Solace, what can I do for you?”
Christopher walked over slowly and sat down on the couch beside Yuliana. He picked up the glass on the coffee table and held it in his hand. It was exactly the same as the glass in Yuliana’s hand. It was a common transparent drinking glass.
Christopher looked down for a while and did not drink. Instead, he said, “Shouldn’t I ask you that? What did you want from me the other day?”

Yuliana lowered her eyelids and took another sip from her glass. Christopher saw her movements and frowned. “Did you not have a drop of water for the past few days? Why are you so thirsty?”
Yuliana was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice, “I got two classes in the afternoon, so my throat is uncomfortable.”
Christopher did not respond to that.
Yuliana drank more than half a glass and felt her throat was no longer painfully dry. She put down the glass and answered Christopher’s previous question, “I actually wanted to ask you for help when I asked you to meet me the other day. Now that I have solved it, there is no need to trouble you anymore, Mr. Solace.” Christopher stared at her dull expression. He pondered for a few seconds before asking, “What happened?” Yuliana replied, “Nothing big.”
Her perfunctory attitude made Christopher even more suspicious, but he could not think of any reasons for the time being.
“Yuliana, don’t let me find out-”
Yuliana suddenly stood up hurriedly before Christopher could finish talking. She covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom. Christopher was still figuring out what was happening when he heard the sound of retching in the bathroom.
He got up and went over to the bathroom. The door of the bathroom was half-closed. He saw Yuliana kneeling on the ground and retching on the toilet when he opened the door.
Yuliana was nearly 5.6 feet tall. She was not petite among girls, but she had a small frame. She looked so fragile and small when she curled in on herself. From the back, her trembling figure evoked a distressing feeling for anyone who saw her at the moment.
Christopher pursed his lips tightly and watched her from the door for a while. He came forward when Yuliana stopped retching and took out several tissues from the tissue box. He then handed them over to her.

A hand and a few tissues suddenly appeared in Yuliana’s sight. She was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take them. After wiping her mouth with the tissues, she pressed the flush button and stood up from the ground after another half a minute. Yuliana pursed her lower lip slightly while looking at
Christopher, who was standing beside her. She then weakly said, “Thank you.”
She walked to the sink and turned on the tap. The sound of splashing water echoed in the narrow bathroom. Yuliana concentrated on washing her hands, but she could clearly feel a pair of eyes staring at her at that
moment.
Yuliana always had her hair tied in a low ponytail at work. She also always kept her hair length below her shoulders and had just been to the barbershop to trim her hair before school started. Strands of short hair escaped her ponytail and covered the side of her face, probably because of her movement when she was retching just now.
Christopher stared at the strands of hair that were covering Yuliana’s profile and thought that they were an eyesore as moments passed. He couldn’t help but reach out to tuck the hair away.
Yuliana noticed his movements before his hand could touch her hair while she was washing her hands. She avoided Christopher’s hand in a very noticeable manner.
Christopher’s hand touched nothing, and it froze in midair.
The two stared at each other. Yuliana had a guarded look in her eyes, along with a trace of disgust that was not so noticeable.
The obscure look in Christopher’s eyes instantly faded, and his thin lips curled up into a sneer. He could not stop himself from saying, “Ms. Livingstone seems to hate me very much, but what can you do? You’re still mine no matter how much you hate me, no?”
Yuliana’s chest heaved violently upon hearing that. She stared at Christopher for a while and finally could not control herself when she saw the frivolous and joking look in his eyes. She raised her hand and flung it toward Christopher’s face.
Christopher grabbed her wrist easily and looked at Yuliana’s now reddened face from her fury. “Are you so ashamed to the point of anger?”
He paused, stared at Yuliana’s eyes, and smiled evilly before pointing his finger at Yuliana’s chest. “Yuliana, I always thought you were innocent and pure. However, in bed, you are not-”

Yuliana’s eyes were red, and her hair was in a disarray and plastered on her face. Her collarbone and chest were heaving up and down, giving her an indescribable sense of shattered beauty.
Christopher’s eyes became darker, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “Am I wrong? You kept calling me ‘honey’ that night. Begging me-”
“You think I was calling you ‘honey?” Yuliana looked at him coldly. “His name is Harry, and he is the one I’m calling ‘honey.’ He is my husband, not you. I just thought you were him at that time. If I knew it was you, vomiting would be the first thing I’d do!”
“Yuliana!” Christopher shoved Yuliana to the wall behind her and pinned her wrists on the wall. “I dare you to say that again!”

Yuliana chuckled faintly. “What are you going to do? Are you going to hurt a woman, Mr. Solace? You asked me if I am so ashamed to the point of anger just now, right? Who’s angry now?”
Christopher pursed his lips and stared at Yuliana for a while. The fury in his eyes gradually faded as he calmed down. He then sneered, “Yuliana, Harry is not your husband. He is your ex-husband. You’re just an abandoned woman who was kicked out of the house by him! However, you are so desperate and dumb enough to still love him!”
After a slight pause, Christopher added, “Unfortunately, he didn’t hear what you just said. Otherwise, he may be moved by your words and change his mind!”
Christopher let go of Yuliana’s wrist after saying that and left the bathroom.
Yuliana heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside after a few moments. Her heart was pounding so hard to the point that she felt it was unbearable. She slid down the wall before crouching.
Yuliana did not want to have a meaningless argument with Christopher, but she did not know why she would act like this every time she faced the man.
