Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 298

Yuliana clenched her fists and turned her head to gaze out of the window. There was a moment of bewilderment in

her eyes.

The car’s interior was extremely quiet as if it was isolated from the outside world. Yuliana appeared to have

returned to her senses after a while and asked, “Why?” Her voice was very calm, neither sad nor angry as if she

only wanted an answer.

The change between her and Christopher was very sudden. Things had been fine before this, but after Rowan came

back, things suddenly changed.

She didn’t notice it at first. Perhaps at that time, all her thoughts were on Rowan, who was lost and found.

When she realized it, the relationship between the two seemed to have reached the point of no return.

Christopher’s expression remained calm, and his tone remained the same; he lifted his lips and uttered two simple

words, “I’m tired.”

Yuliana felt a twinge of irony. “What kind of response is this?” she wondered.

She was also aware that he had been extremely tired since Kendrick’s accident. There were a lot of things in his

family as well-Zachary, Winnie, and Rowan, who had been in another accident. His relationship with Joyce had

recently become strained as well.

Yuliana frowned slightly. She shifted her gaze to Christopher’s side profile. His nose bridge was superb. Outside the

window, the street lamps shone in, and the flickering light and shadow on his face made him appear even more

superior.

She moved her lips as if she was about to say something. In the end, she swallowed her words and asked instead,

“Is there any relationship between the two?”

Christopher’s fingers that were supporting his temples shifted slightly, and his fingertips lightly touched the tip of his

eyebrows. “Of course, it has something to do with it.” He turned his head and looked at her. “Because it’s you who

makes me feel tired.”

When Yuliana heard this, her face became dazed. She was speechless for a moment as she stared blankly at

Christopher.

Christopher continued, “Perhaps it’s because the honeymoon phase has passed, and I can’t find the original feeling

I had with you now, or perhaps I have too many things to deal with now, and I don’t have no other intentions to deal

with. you.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “When I come home every day and see you, I get very tired, and I want to

escape.”

Yuliana’s face was a little pale. She pinched the palm of her hand harder, and the pain made her jumbled mind

clearer. Many thoughts raced through her mind in an instant, and she came up with a slew of excuses.

But in the end, she only felt that her behavior was ridiculous.

“I didn’t even know you had such thoughts,” Yuliana remarked sarcastically, with a smile on her face.

“I didn’t have these thoughts at first.” Christopher’s voice was cold with a hint of irony. “I had these thoughts when

Roe was kidnapped. I needed to deal with the company’s mess, find Roe as soon as possible, and use the remaining

energy to worry about you. Ana, I am just a human being. I’ll also be tired and irritated. But did you even bother to

show me some consideration during that time?” Yuliana pursed her lips without saying anything, but her heart

suddenly throbbed. “You are not the only one who was concerned about our son’s disappearance.” Christopher cast

a sidelong glance at her and averted his gaze. “However, you didn’t consider my feelings from my perspective.

Instead, you were resentful of

me.”

Yuliana had nothing to say because what Christopher said was the truth.

Such a reason sounded reasonable, but her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of confusion.

Yuliana wondered out loud, “Is it because of this?”

The corner of Christopher’s mouth twitched mockingly. “Maybe it’s because of the change in my emotions and

environment. I used to be able to do whatever I wanted to do without any worries because I only needed to be

responsible for you and Roe, but that’s no longer the case. I have to hold up the Solace family. I don’t want us to get

to the point where we hate each other, Ana. I hope we can preserve something nice between us, and I don’t want

our son to go through things he doesn’t have to because of our relationship.”

Yuliana was stunned for two more seconds after hearing this. She looked at him, slightly surprised, pursed her lips,

and murmured, “You mean… You want to divorce me?”

Christopher returned his gaze to the window and said, in an unusually

uninterested tone, “I simply believe we should cut our losses now. Divorce might be the best option for us right now.

Of course, we can continue our relationship if you can accept where we are right now.”

“Our relationship right now?” Yuliana smiled faintly.

Her chest felt tight again. Her eyes were sore, and a layer of mist had formed. She quickly averted her gaze and

struggled to keep her tears at bay.

After a while, she said calmly, “I’ll think about it before I respond.”

Christopher replied indifferently, “Sure.”

No one spoke again after that. They went upstairs tacitly when they got home. Yuliana returned to her room to

change her clothes, while Christopher went to the study.

Hailey carried Rowan over.

The little boy sobbed until his eyes swelled and his voice became hoarse. He stretched out his chubby arms and

asked Yuliana to hold him when he saw her.

Yuliana had just returned from the hospital and was afraid of spreading germs by reaching out to hold Rowan.

She said softly to Rowan, “Mom has bacteria on her hands, so she needs to wash her hands first, and then she’ll

come and hug Roe.”

Rowan seemed to understand her. Although he still pouted, he held back his tears and did not cry out.

Yuliana entered the bathroom, squeezed out the hand sanitizer, and rubbed her hands twice. Her hands were

covered in tiny foams. Her thoughts drifted away as she stared at the foams. She recalled something Christopher

said on the way back.

Her chest felt like it was being pressed by a boulder, and it was stuffy and heavy, making her feel suffocated once

more.

Rowan’s cries snapped Yuliana out of her thoughts. She quickly rinsed the foam from her hands and patted them

dry with a towel. Then, she saw Christopher enter the room and take Rowan from Hailey.

Perhaps it was because they were related by blood. Even though Christopher didn’t spend much time with Rowan,

at least not as much as the previous maternity matron, Kylie, nobody knew why other people couldn’t coax Rowan,

but as long as he was in Christopher’s arms, he would calm down.

Just like right now-when he was in Christopher’s arms, he would calm down and lean against Christopher’s chest, his

small body still sobbing.

Yuliana walked over and said softly, “Give him to me.”

Christopher looked down at her and handed the little guy in his arms to Yuliana.

There was no other communication between them. Yuliana took Rowan to the couch and sat down. Then, she took

a toy and teased the little guy.

Christopher stood and watched for a while before he turned to the walk-in wardrobe.

About ten minutes later, Christopher came out of the walk-in wardrobe with a suitcase and said, “I’ll be living in

Oceanview Apartment for a while. After you think it over, contact me.”

Yuliana didn’t look up at him, but she responded lightly and went back to playing

with Rowan.

Rowan grabbed the hair on Yuliana’s shoulder and chuckled.

Christopher paused for a moment and left the Solace residence with his suitcase.

Joyce came back from the hospital in the early morning.

When she entered, she saw Yuliana waiting at the door.

Joyce asked, “Haven’t slept yet?”

Yuliana hummed lightly. “How’s Mrs. Solace?”
