Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 36 It Is Only A Marriage

Yuliana shoved away Christopher’s hands, wiped off the trace of tears on her face, and ordered in a tense voice,

“Get out of the way.”

The shadowy figure in front of Yuliana remained motionless.

Yuliana could not help but push the man in front of her. Unexpectedly, the shadowy figure in front of her stumbled

back a couple of steps even though she did not exert much force. Then, a muffled sound was heard, like something

huge had hit the floor.

“Yuliana!”

There came the voice of that man who was gritting his teeth.

Yuliana’s eyebrows twitched. She thought Christopher would leap up from the floor and get even with her. Be that

as it might, after Yuliana waited for a few seconds, the man on the floor did not budge at all.

She was a little worried, so she quickly searched for her phone and turned on the flashlight, shining the light toward

the floor.

Christopher was already dizzy and had a headache at that point. As the bright light shone on his face, he felt even

more uncomfortable. He frowned and instinctively raised his hand to block the light from reaching his eyes. “Turn it

off!” he commanded.

“Oh? So, he’s not injured, huh,” Yuliana thought.

Yuliana was relieved. She stepped forward to kick Christopher on his somewhat bent leg. “Get up.”

Christopher slightly opened his eyes. “I dare you to kick me again.”

Yuliana fell silent for a brief moment before deciding to try it. Raising her foot, she kicked the man a couple of

times. “There! I kicked you again. What about it?”

“You’ll regret it!”

Christopher suddenly turned over and stood up from the floor.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yuliana tried to escape, but Christopher had already grabbed her from behind by

the waist before she could do that. Panicked, Yuliana screamed, and her phone slipped from her hand and fell onto

the floor. When Yuliana regained composure, she was already pressed on the couch by Christopher.

The house went dark once again with the flashlight gone. Only the dim light from outside could be seen coming

through the window.

Yuliana looked up, only to see the man’s face hanging above hers.

She could not get a good look but only a blurry outline of the man’s face. Yet, for some reason, she suddenly felt

that Christopher’s dark eyes were extraordinarily bright even in the dark, which was completely different from the

emotionless eyes she usually saw.

She pressed her hand against Christopher’s chest, and her face flushed with anger. “Get off me.”

Christopher grabbed Yuliana’s wrist and pinned her hand above her head. Clasping her waist, the man said harshly,

“I won’t. I warned you. You insisted on kicking me.”

Yuliana bellowed angrily, “This is my home!”

“He came to my house this late at night after getting himself drunk. What’s wrong with me giving him a few kicks?”

she yelled.

“So what?”

A chuckle escaped from Christopher’s lips. He caressed Yuliana’s soft waist with his palm as if he could never get

enough of the wornan. Gradually, the man’s breath became heavier.

Christopher lowered his head and kissed Yuliana’s ear. With a hoarse, deep voice, he coaxed, “Yuliana, let’s do it

again!”

“No!”

Yuliana avoided Christopher’s mouth and refused without hesitation.

Christopher raised his head slightly and stared at Yuliana for a while. He, for one, had excellent eyesight.

Even in a highly dark environment like that, he could read Yuliana’s expression.

The woman was so disgusted that she did not even bother to pretend.

Christopher curled his lips into a mocking smirk. He burrowed his head into Yuliana’s neck and took a deep breath.

Then he said in a low voice, “I’ll shut my eyes for a bit. Don’t move. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you

later.”

After Christopher dropped that remark, his breathing slowed, and the hot air he exhaled was all over Yuliana’s skin.

That made Yuliana feel a burning sensation on the spot. Uncomfortable, she moved a little, only to feel a stinging

pain in her neck.

Christopher bit her.

“Don’t move!” he said with a muffled voice. He then pecked lightly at the position where he bit. A short while later,

his breathing became steady once again.

Yuliana listened to Christopher’s breathing and dared not move anymore.

A moment later, Yuliana could feel that the man’s grip on her wrist finally loosened. She carefully broke free and

tried to push that man off her body Unfortunately, she failed to get him to budge even slightly.

One’s vision would be weak in the dark. Even so, other senses would become acute, including hearing, touch, and

smell.

That was especially true when it came to the sense of smell.

Perhaps because the two of them were too close to each other, the smell of alcohol on the man’s body was

pronounced and detectable to Yuliana. Moreover, some fragrance was covered by the pungent smell of alcohol. It

seemed to be the scent of sandalwood, and it was so faint that it could have gone unnoticed if Yuliana had not paid

much attention to discern it.

The scent of sandalwood did not seem to come from perfumes or sandalwood bracelets but more likely from

incense.

Yuliana opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, slowly breathing out the stagnant air caught up in her chest. She

was thinking about kicking Christopher to the floor after the man fell into a deep sleep.

Yuliana could not concentrate at all because of the man’s shallow breathing.

On the other night, when Yuliana was with Christopher, she had been drunk. Although she could roughly remember

what had happened after she became sober, she still felt that some sensations were missing. However, it was the

first time Yuliana slept with a man so intimately when she was wide awake.

She tried hard to let her thoughts wander about something else, such as the lesson she would give next week and

the students in the class. Suddenly, Yuliana remembered the electrician.

“Isn’t the electrician supposed to be here by now? More than half an hour had passed, so why hasn’t he arrived

yet?” she wondered.

Yuliana glanced at the phone on the floor from the corner of her eyes. The flashlight was still on, but it was facing

the floor. “My phone didn’t have much battery left before. If things continue to be like this, it’ll probably go flat very

soon!” she muttered to herself.

At that moment, sudden vibrations coming from a phone could be heard.

Yuliana’s phone screen was still dark, so it had to be Christopher’s phone.

Yuliana tried to nudge Christopher as hard as she could, telling him, “Your phone’s ringing.”

Christopher frowned and did not open his eyes. He soon went back to sleep, seeming to have no intention of

answering the phone.

The phone suddenly stopped vibrating. After a short while, it vibrated again.

Yuliana was annoyed by the noise, so she patted Christopher and voiced, “Answer the phone.”

Christopher opened his eyes and shot Yuliana a calm gaze. Soon after, he closed his eyes again and commented in

a low voice, “Answer it if you want to. Don’t disturb me.”

Yuliana was rendered speechless.

The caller on the other end of the line seemed to be relentless as the person kept calling nonstop.

Yuliana could not stand it anymore. She fumbled around Christopher’s body as she asked, “Where’s your phone?”

Christopher ignored her.

Yuliana put in a lot of effort before finally locating the man’s phone in his left pocket. Just when she was about to

answer the phone, she caught a glimpse of the caller ID “Anna” on the screen.

Undoubtedly, that was Annabelle’s nickname.

After deliberating for a second, Yuliana still hit the answer key.

“Chris, where are you?”

The woman’s sweet, casual voice rang in Yuliana’s ear.

Yuliana kept mum for a couple of seconds before uttering. “I’m not Christopher.”

Upon hearing that voice, Annabelle also fell silent for a while. “Why is his phone with you?”

Yuliana pursed her lips lightly and revealed, “He’s drunk, If it’s convenient for you, please come and pick him up.”

“Give me the address,” prompted Annabelle.

“0604, Unit 3, Building 3, Maple Garden.”

Yuliana hung up the phone right after saying that.

“Christopher, Annabelle will be here soon. If you don’t want her to see something she shouldn’t be seeing. you’d

better let me get up.” Yuliana knew that Christopher was already awake when she was on the phone with

Annabelle.

Christopher chuckled at that. He still pressed his lips against Yuliana’s neck. “What do you mean by something she

shouldn’t be seeing?”

Yuliana did not know if the man was ignorant or purely playing dumb. “Aren’t you going to get married to

Annabelle? Do you think she’d be happy seeing us like this?”

“How do you know we’re getting married, huh?” Christopher nuzzled Yuliana’s ear with his mouth as he spoke.

taking it a little too far.

Yuliana frowned and pushed away the man’s head. “Xani told me that.”

“It’s just a marriage. Haven’t you also been married before? That didn’t stop Harry from having an affair outside,

did it?”
