Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 319

“Xani, I’m going to divorce Christopher.”

Yuliana smiled when she said this. At the same time, tears rolled down the corner of her eyes and slid across her

lips along the nasal groove. She didn’t hide it at all. Instead, she slowly raised her hand to wipe the tears hanging on

her lower lip.

Then she drank another mouthful of wine.

Perhaps it was because Yuliana had drunk a lot, so her movements and thoughts became slow. Even her perception

of her emotions became much slower at the same time. When she told Xandria about the divorce, she only felt a

light sting in her heart, and she soon felt numb thanks to the alcohol.

Xandria had a high tolerance, so the alcohol in front of her was a piece of cake for her. While Yuliana was drunk,

Xandria was still sober. When the latter heard Yuliana’s words, she almost choked on the wine.

Xandria’s astonishment faded when she saw Yuliana smiling with tears. Feeling sorry for Yuliana, she held back the

words she wanted to say. All Xandria felt at that moment was sympathy for Yuliana.

Without saying anything, Xandria moved closer to Yuliana and gave her a hug.

“Yuliana, you don’t have to hold back in front of me. Just cry if you want.”

Yuliana didn’t want to cry at first, but when she heard Xandria’s sorrowful voice, she felt an excruciating pain in her

heart. Then, tears started pouring from her

eyes.

Yuliana bit her lips tightly, but sobs still escaped from her throat.

For a moment, there was only the heartbreaking sound of crying in the quiet apartment.

It was full of despair and misery.

Xandria seldom saw Yuliana crying. Even when Yuliana divorced Harry, she did not cry in front of Xandria. Yuliana

was emotionally stable every time they met back then, and Xandria had felt indignant for Yuliana whenever she saw

the latter like that.

Xandria didn’t know what had happened between Yuliana and Christopher. She wondered, “Is it because of the

photos I sent to Yuliana last time? Or is Christopher’s involvement in the murder case the reason for their divorce?”

It was evident that Yuliana did not want to divorce Christopher, or else she would not be that sad.

Yuliana cried for a long time. She only stopped crying when exhaustion swept over her.

She moved and sat on the carpet beside Xandria. Leaning against the sofa, she placed her head on Xandria’s

shoulder and raised her eyes to look at the light above.

The light was soft and not too bright, but Yuliana still felt tingling pain in her eyes. She closed her eyes and exhaled

slowly, and the suffocating feeling in her chest was finally gradually relieved.

She picked up the wine glass and took another sip, though she didn’t drink as fast as before. Obviously, she had

calmed down at this point.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you drink so much,” Xandria said softly.

Yuliana said, “This is not my first time. Actually, when I divorced Harry, I drank a lot the night I went to the bar with

you. Because of that, I provoked Christopher, and that’s how all these things happened afterward.”

“Do I regret it?” Yuliana wondered.

Yuliana thought about it carefully and realized she didn’t seem to regret it. Although her marriage failed again, she

now had Rowan.

After hesitating for a while, Xandria couldn’t help asking curiously, “Yuliana, can I ask you a question?”

“What is it?”

“Harry and Christopher, who do you prefer?”

Yuliana had loved Harry for so many years and had only been with Christopher for about a year. Yet for some

reason, Xandria thought that Yuliana was more heartbroken about her divorce from Christopher.

Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about who she liked more, but she knew that Harry and

Christopher were totally different people. In her three years of marriage with Harry, her love for him vanished over

time.

Getting a divorce was sad, but it also gave her freedom.

On the other hand, her memories with Christopher seemed to be more than that of the ones she made with Harry

in three years. Her year with Christopher was full of ups and downs, but it was the best year she had ever had in

her life.

Yuliana had never compared her degree of love for the two. She had loved Harry dearly, but now that she was over

him, she felt nothing for him. But apparently, she still could not move on from Christopher at this time.

Therefore, her feelings now were not necessarily accurate.

Yuliana smiled. “What do you think?”

Xandria leaned her head against the sofa and thought for a moment. Then, she said, “I think you prefer

Christopher.”

With that, she glanced at Yuliana.

Yuliana did not confirm whether Xandria got it right. With a calm expression, she picked up the glass and took

another sip of wine.

Seeing that Yuliana didn’t intend to continue this topic, Xandria asked cautiously, “Did you get divorced because of

the photos I sent you last time?”

At that time, Kathryn had asked Xandria to stay out of her business, but the latter felt that Yuliana was her best

friend. Xandria thought that it was her responsibility to tell Yuliana when she saw Christopher flirting with another

woman and getting into a car with her hand in hand.

However, if that caused the divorce between Yuliana and Christopher, making Yuliana so sad, Xandria would regret

it and blame herself.

Yuliana knew what Xandria was thinking. “It has nothing to do with you,” she answered.

“Then… Is it because of Scarlett’s case?”

Yuliana shook her head and smiled. “Not really. He just wants to divorce me.”

Xandria didn’t understand what Yuliana meant. When she was about to clarify further, the latter stood up and

staggered toward the bathroom.

Having cried her heart out, Yuliana sobered

1.

Yuliana washed her face with cold water and felt more clear-headed. Then, she stood by the sink for a few minutes.

When she came out again, the previous sadness on her face disappeared. Her swollen eyes were the only evidence

of her crying prior to this.

She said to Xandria, “Xani, I’m going home.”

Startled, Xandria immediately stood up. Her knees hit the coffee table, and the pain made her grimace. “It’s so late

already. Why don’t you sleep over tonight?”

“I’m worried about Roe.” Yuliana knew Xandria was worried about her, so she added, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

Since Yuliana said that, Xandria could not insist on making her stay.

Xandria couldn’t drive Yuliana back as she had drunk some alcohol. Instead, she sent Yuliana downstairs. After

seeing Yuliana get in the car and leave, she went upstairs to clean up the mess and asked a designated driver to

drive her back to the Yeager residence.

Xandria was quite a scaredy cat. She found it a little creepy to sleep in such a big apartment alone.

When Yuliana returned home, Rowan had fallen asleep, to her surprise.

Hailey said, “He cried for a while when it was time for bed, but he fell asleep after

I coaxed him for a while. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Thank you, Hailey.”

Hailey smiled and said, “Roe is just like my grandson. Don’t worry about it.”

Yuliana thought that since Christopher’s freedom was limited, the divorce procedures would be a little

cumbersome. Unexpectedly, Christopher arranged everything so properly that she almost didn’t need to do

anything. She just had to bring the required ID cards and materials and sign for confirmation.

That was the last time Yuliana met Christopher.

Except for the necessary communication, they didn’t say another word to each other.

The procedure was handled quickly and finished in less than half an hour.
