Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 32 I Have No Opinion

Without a doubt, the hand in the picture belonged to a woman.

Christopher stopped in his tracks, and his gray eyes suddenly darkened. He stared at the picture for a few seconds.

After that, he put away his phone and went upstairs. However, when he was about to open the door to the study,

Christopher suddenly took out his phone and looked at the picture again.

After pausing for a second, Christopher typed a question mark and sent the message.

Soon, Raymond replied. He wrote: [Ms. Livingstone came for a blind date. It’s a coincidence that we met, so we’re

having a cup of coffee together.]

Christopher stared at the message sent by Raymond for a while, especially at the keyword for a bit longer.

Christopher gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.

“Why are you standing by the door and snorting?” Kendrick was standing behind Christopher in a set of dark-

colored loungewear. The former’s face was as stern as ever.

Christopher put away his phone and did not say anything. He then opened the door of the study, waited for

Kendrick to enter, and followed suit.

Christopher sat down lazily on the chair, took out his phone, and looked at the message from Raymond again.

Without lifting his head, he asked, “Ken, what can I do for you?”

Kendrick sat on the chair behind the desk and did not look at Christopher as he stared at the computer screen with

his glasses on. “What’s going on between you and Annabelle?”

“What do you mean by ‘what’s going on? You see it, too, don’t you? I’m preparing to get married to Annabelle,”

Christopher answered nonchalantly.

Kendrick glanced at Christopher coldly and asked, “Do you think getting married is a joke?”

“Didn’t you get married to Joyce when the two of you only met once? Isn’t that more like a joke?” Christopher

responded while looking at Kendrick.

Kendrick replied, “Joyce and I are different from you guys.”

“How different are you guys?” Christopher flashed an evil smile and continued, “If Joyce wasn’t pregnant, would you

have married her?”

As soon as Christopher finished speaking, he heard the sound of porcelain shattering outside the door. Christopher

was stunned. He stood up and walked to the door to have a look. He saw a figure hurrying downstairs and a broken

coffee pot on the ground by the study’s door.

Christopher then turned around, looked at Kendrick, and gloatingly commented, “You’re screwed, Ken!” Kendrick

glanced at him coldly. Before running away, Christopher said, “Ken, you’d better take care of your own business

first. Don’t worry about me.”

After going downstairs, Christopher picked up his coat that was on the couch as if he was about to leave. Seeing

that, Winnie hurriedly asked, “Chris, where are you going?”

After hearing what Winnie said, everyone else in the living room turned to look at Christopher, including Annabelle.

Christopher looked at the others. Finally, he looked Annabelle in the eyes and said, “Ray has something, and he

needs me. I’m going out now. Don’t wait for me for dinner.”

Zachary glanced at Annabelle and said with a bit of dissatisfaction, “I specifically asked all of you to come back

today to discuss your marriage with Annabelle. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to leave like this?” Christopher

put on his coat and answered casually, “You guys discussing it will do. I have no opinion.”

He paused and looked at Annabelle again but did not say anything. After that, Christopher took his car keys and

strode away.

Annabelle looked at Christopher’s back as he left and did not say anything in response. Instead, Layla carefully

observed Annabelle’s expression.

Annabelle smiled at them and said, “Layla, don’t look at me like that. I’m fine. Raymond and Christopher are close

friends. Something urgent must have come up. That’s why he needed Christopher. By the way, what were you

saying? Let’s continue.”

Layla sighed. Could she not know what her younger brother, Christopher, was like?

In fact, Layla was not optimistic about Christopher and Annabelle’s marriage. It was not that Annabelle was not

good. It was because Layla felt Annabelle was a great girl, so she was worried that Christopher would hurt

Annabelle in the end.

However, there were some things that Layla could not change.

Since it was Christopher’s choice and Annabelle was willing to do it, Winnie and Zachary were happy about it too.

Hence, it seemed like there were no problems with it.

Raymond fiddled with his phone and asked, “Ms. Livingstone, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“Mr. Quinn, as of now, Xani has no plans to get married. She came to meet you today because Mr. and Mrs. Yeager

forced her to,” Yuliana answered.

Raymond replied faintly with an “oh.” He then continued, “Well, that’s good. I’m not interested in Ms. Yeager

either.”

Yuliana was not surprised after hearing Raymond’s answer.

She picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The content of the cup was not coffee but simply warm water.

“However, Xani wants to make a deal with you,” Yuliana said.

Raymond was stunned and suddenly looked up at Yuliana. “A deal.”

Yuliana nodded in response. “Xani hopes that you can play along with her for a while so that she can deal with her

family.”

Pauline was still sick. Hence, Xandria did not want to have a head-on conflict with her. However, if the blind date

with Raymond did not go well today, there would be many blind dates waiting for her after this, and Xandria would

be annoyed.

Therefore, Xandria discussed the idea with Yuliana while on their way to the café.

Xandria and Raymond were longtime enemies. It was natural that they did not see eye to eye. Moreover, Raymond

was not a well-behaved man, and his family probably forced him to meet Xandria too.

Since both Xandria and Raymond were in the same situation, they could actually work together. They could play

along with each other and act when needed. They could continue with their respective lives whenever they did not

need each other.

Yuliana saw Raymond frown and hurriedly said, “Of course, Mr. Quinn, Xani will try her best to cooperate, too, if you

ever need her.”

Raymond understood what she meant.

Xandria was also forced by her family. That was why she wanted to make a deal and work together with Raymond.

Suddenly, Raymond smiled and said, “I’ll think about it.”

“What’s there to think about?” After cleaning up, Xandria still looked like an angry lion. “As a man, you’re not losing

anything. I’m the one who will be at a disadvantage. My reputation will be ruined if I have something to do with

you.”

Raymond sneered, “Then, don’t look for me. Go find someone else!”

“Y-You!”

Just then, Raymond’s phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it. He then clicked on the screen a few times.

Suddenly, Raymond looked at Yuliana and said, “I’m a little hungry. Otherwise, shall we grab something to eat first

and chat while eating?”

“Who wants to have dinner with you?” Xandria retorted.

“Okay then!” Raymond rose to his feet and continued, “When I go back later, I’ll tell Mrs. Yeager that we’ve liked

each other for a long time and want to get married immediately. I’ll ask her to prepare for our wedding

immediately!”

“Are you crazy?” Xandria’s eyes widened as she looked at Raymond as if he was a psycho.

Yuliana pulled Xandria and said, “Forget it. It’s almost time for dinner anyway. I’m a little hungry too.”

After hearing what Yuliana said, Xandria could only tolerate Raymond for now.

Raymond smiled, turned around, and walked out of the café first.

Xandria glared at his back for a few seconds and said to Yuliana, “Yuliana, why did you agree to have dinner. with

him? If you are hungry, we can eat by ourselves.”

“Don’t you want to work with him? Won’t you need to eat with him often in the future in order to deal with your

family? I think you should change this bad temper of yours. Otherwise, you will be at a disadvantage,” Yuliana

replied.

Raymond found a Clusian restaurant nearby and asked for a private room. After the three of them sat down and

finished ordering, the private room door was pushed open from outside.

Yuliana’s vision was a blur. Suddenly, her gaze was fixated on someone. Yuliana then saw Christopher enter the

private room with a young girl.

Looking at the two who had just arrived, Raymond leaned against the chair, smiled, and said, “You came just in

time. We just ordered the dishes.”
