Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 295

Yuliana has been celebrating her birthday according to the lunar calendar since childhood. The 28th of July on the

lunar calendar would mean someday in August and September on the Gregorian calendar.

Her last year’s birthday was not long after school started, so there were many things to settle, and Yuliana was so

busy that she forgot about her birthday. When she was about to finish school, she received a call from Xandria

asking her to have dinner together in the evening. When she arrived at the dining place and saw the surprise

prepared by Xandria, only then did she realize it was her birthday.

At that time, she was not together with Christopher yet.

This year, Callie called her early this morning and wished her happy birthday. The gift had already arrived the day

before. It was a set of jewelry with a simple and elegant design that suited Yuliana a lot.

After all, Yuliana and Callie had similar tastes.

Xandria also called and asked Yuliana how she was planning to spend her birthday.

This year was different from previous years as Yuliana had gotten married. Xandria expected Christopher must

have made prior arrangements, so it would be rude for her to intrude if the couple wanted to celebrate alone.

After pausing for a while, Yuliana said, “I have no plans. Why not I treat you to dinner?”

Xandria was a straightforward person and would blurt out whatever she was thinking. “Aren’t you going to

celebrate your first birthday after getting married to Christopher?”

Yuliana fell silent for another two seconds before replying, “There have been many matters to settle at Solace

Corporation, so he has been busy lately.”

Xandria also knew about the recent situation of Solace Corporation. Even her father said that if the situation did not

improve, Solace Corporation would be in danger. Moreover, the company was in chaos, as the employees had

divided themselves into several groups. Thus, Christopher was in a difficult situation now.

Xandria didn’t understand nor care much about them, so her conversations with Yuliana usually revolved around

things she was interested in, such as clothing, bags, style, or gossip in the entertainment industry.

Occasionally, she would video call Yuliana to see her godson.

Yuliana hadn’t told Xandria about the state of things between her and Christopher. Sometimes, she felt it was good

for Xandria to always be so carefree and happy, so she didn’t want those frustrating matters to upset the latter’s

mood.

Xandria sighed. After a while, she suddenly suggested, “Since your husband doesn’t have time, let me, your best

friend, celebrate for you. Coincidentally, Kathryn is also here, so we can call her along. Bring Roe too. She hasn’t

met my godson yet.”

Yuliana hesitated for a while, but she agreed in the end.

She had been in the house for too long. Sometimes, she felt the house was like a cage, trapping all its inhabitants.

Since she was bringing Rowan out, she needed to prepare a lot of things needed when going outdoors.

Yuliana took a nappy bag and filled it

1.

After packing up, she took Rowan along to spend some time with Winnie.

Zachary was still sleeping quietly, but he was evidently thinner than before the company entered a state of crisis.

He was so gaunt that he was left with bones and a thin layer of wrinkly skin over his bones, and his skin was sickly

white.

Winnie seemed to have slowly accepted the fact that Zachary would not be waking up, or perhaps because her

health was gradually declining, she no longer cared whether Zachary would wake up or not.

Upon seeing Yuliana and Rowan, Winnie smiled and said in a weak voice, “Let me see him.”

Yuliana carried Rowan over, and Winnie raised her hand with much difficulty to gently stroke Rowan’s face. Rowan

blinked his round eyes as he stared and even smiled at her. Reaching out his chubby little hand, he tried to grab

Winnie’s fingers.

“Good boy!”

Winnie’s face is full of love. “I really want to hug him, but I’m too weak to carry him now.”

Upon hearing this, Yuliana felt her eyes sting for a moment.

In the past, she always thought that Zachary and Winnie would get better slowly, but now, seeing their health

deteriorating every day, she dared not hope for much

anymore.

Yuliana usually brought Rowan over almost every day to stay awhile with Zachary and Winnie, other than those

days when Rowan got kidnapped.

However, Winnie didn’t want Rowan to stay for a long time as she was worried about passing on the sickness to

Rowan.

Yuliana was not superstitious about this. Although she didn’t have a close relationship with Zachary and Winnie, she

couldn’t help but become kinder in the face of life and death.

Just when she was about to say something to comfort Winnie, she heard the latter ask, “Yuliana, today is your

birthday, right?”

Yuliana was stunned and looked at Winnie in surprise. After a while, she nodded slightly. “Yes.”

An apologetic look crossed Winnie’s face. “Yuliana, I’m sorry. You can’t even celebrate your first birthday after

marrying into the Solace family properly.” Yuliana still hadn’t dared to tell Winnie about the matter regarding

Kendrick.

At first, Winnie still asked about it, but recently, she stopped asking. Yuliana thought it was probably because Winnie

already knew it, so she stopped asking. Winnie felt for a box under the bed and took it out before stuffing it into

Yuliana’s hands. “Yuliana, you’re a good girl. I was blind back then and spoke so rudely to you. I hope you don’t take

them to heart.”

Yuliana looked at the wooden box in her hands and said nothing.

She had never hated Winnie, so she didn’t take anything to heart.

“It’s not anything valuable. My mother gave it to me when I married Zachary.” At the mention of her mother, a

warm smile appeared on Winnie’s face. “I have no use keeping it now. I’ll give it to you as a birthday gift. I hope you

don’t mind it.”

Yuliana hurriedly answered, “No. Regardless of what it is, I like it as long as it is given by you.”

Winnie stretched out her hand toward Yuliana, and Yuliana immediately stretched out her own hand. Clenching

Yuliana’s hand, Winnie declared, “Christopher is a very pure and kind child with a strong sense of responsibility.

Sometimes he would rather sacrifice himself. Yuliana, I don’t know what will happen to you and Christopher in the

future, but as a mother, I’m still a little selfish. I hope you can stay with Christopher no matter what happens in the

future.”

Yuliana wanted to say yes, but she wasn’t sure if she could do it, so she didn’t accept Winnie’s request in the end.

After Yuliana told Winnie she was going out, Winnie waved her hand and urged Yuliana to leave.

Glancing at the clock, Yuliana didn’t stay any longer and went out with Rowan.

The driver sent her to the place she and Xandria agreed to meet.

When she got out of the car with Rowan, she caught a glimpse of a familiar car parked not far away. During the

time when Rowan was kidnapped, that car followed her every day.

However, as she hadn’t gone out recently, plus Rowan had been found, she thought Christopher had sent the

bodyguard away.

Yuliana only took a short glance before shifting her eyes back and walking in with Rowan.
