Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 35 Stop Crying
“I shouldn’t trouble you, Mr. Solace. I’ll hail a taxl myself,” said Yuliana indifferently yet resolutely.
Christopher shot Yuliana a cold gaze upon hearing that. He pursed his thin lips and curled them into a sneer. He turned and left
without saying anything.
“Chris!” Raymond shouted. Christopher ignored him, walking away without looking back.
After Christopher walked far enough, Raymond shook his head and clicked his tongue annoyingly. He glanced at Yuliana before
speaking to Xandria. “Hey, chubby girl, I have something to do tonight. I’ll visit Mr. and Mrs. Yeager at the Yeager residence
some other day!”
As soon as Raymond finished his sentence, he followed Christopher right away.
Xandria let out a snort. “What the hell?”
Raymond had offered to send Xandria back a minute ago. In the end, he excused himself and ran off first.
“Who cares if you don’t give me a lift?” After saying that, Xandria turned to Yuliana and declared, “Let’s go, Yuliana. I’ll send you
back!”
It was getting late, and the sky was turning darker.
On the way back, Xandria told Yuliana that Christopher would marry Annabelle.
Suddenly hearing that news, Yuliana took quite a moment to process the information.
“What would Harry become once Annabelle marries Christopher?” she mused. That was the first thought that came to her mind
upon returning to her senses.
When Yuliana was in a daze, Xandria said sarcastically. “This is what we called retribution! Harry is but a disgraceful, illegitimate
child. Back then, he did everything he could to climb the social ladder. He thought attaining status while dressing up in a classy
tuxedo would make him a man from the upper echelon, didn’t he? In Annabelle’s eyes, he’s nothing more than a lapdog.
Annabelle still dumped him like three years ago and chose to be with a nobleman, Mr. Solace...”
“Stop it, Xani!” Yuliana interrupted, hushing her friend altogether.

Xandria was unhappy to hear that. “You’re still defending him!”
Xandria could not figure out the reason. “What charm does Harry have to make Yuliana devote to him for the past decade? That
jerk even divorced Yuliana to be with Annabelle, but Yuliana’s still defending him,” she pondered.
“I’m not defending him...” Yuliana wanted to explain, but she felt that Xandria might not understand her. Back when Yuliana
chose to marry Harry, they both knew that Harry had agreed to the marriage only because Yuliana was Damian’s daughter, not
because of love.
It was just Yuliana’s wishful thinking that Harry would one day fall for her.
In the past three years of their marriage, although Harry had not fulfilled his obligation as a husband, he had not mistreated her.
The only downside of their marriage was the somewhat displeasing scene during their divorce.
Xandria did not believe Yuliana’s words at all. She only thought that Yuliana was still not over Harry. “I’m so mad at you, Yuliana!”
she fumed.
In Xandria’s opinion, Harry was a heartless ugly duckling through and through.
During their senior year in university, Harry had been dumped by Annabelle before he went to woo Yuliana. Harry had somehow
managed to sweet-talk Yuliana and bewitched her. After graduation, Yuliana married Harry.
Immediately afterward, Harry returned to the Ziegler family as Damian’s son-in-law. Over the past three years, Harry had been
ruthless and had done whatever it took to become the second-in-command of the Ziegler Group. After gaining fame and fortune,
he, however, turned his back on Yuliana and got a divorce, leaving her side with no strings attached.
When Yuliana had just gotten divorced, Xandria held back the urge to say anything for fear that Yuliana would be upset. After
several months, Xandria thought that Yuliana would have more or less let go of what had happened. She never expected Yuliana
to defend Harry right after she dropped some remarks about that
man.
Of course, Yuliana knew that Xandria was only worried about her and was just standing up for her. “Xani, I’m not trying to defend
him at all.”
Xandria gestured for Yuliana to stop talking. “That’s enough. You don’t have to explain anymore. You’d only come off as if you’re
hiding something. I get what you mean, and I don’t want to end up giving you the silent treatment again for months just because

of Harry!”
When Yuliana decided to marry Harry, Xandria had been very opposed to that decision and even fought with Yuliana, giving the
latter the silent treatment for quite some time.
Yuliana knew that Xandria was angry, so she did not want to argue with Xandria. She would wait for Xandria to simmer down
before talking to Xandria again.
The two of them did not utter another word after that. After dropping Yuliana off at the residential area entrance, Xandria left.
When Yuliana reached home, she rested for a bit. It was barely after 9 pm. when she finished her shower. She turned on the
computer to prepare for her upcoming lessons.
Sometime later, the room suddenly went dark as all the lights went out.
Yuliana was dumbfounded. It had been two months since she moved to Maple Garden, but it was the first time she had
encountered such a situation.
Yuliana looked out of the window, only to see a power supply for the rest of the community in the residential
area
Her home was the only household to experience a power outage.
Yuliana’s mind was in a mess. She did not know what to do. After thinking for a while, she fumbled to find her phone and called
the landlord.
The landlord suggested, “Maybe it’s time for you to pay the electricity bill. Why don’t you swipe the electricity card at the meter
first? It should last you for a couple of days. You should settle the electricity bill as soon as possible.”
Yuliana did what the landlord told her to do. After she swiped the electricity card at the meter, her home was still pitch black.
Since the landlord lived quite far from Yuliana, the landlord was helpless just as well and suggested Yuliana seek help from the
management office.
Yuliana then dialed the management office’s number.

The staff of the management office on duty arranged for an electrician to come over for inspection, but the electrician was busy
at that moment and could only come over after half an hour.
All Yuliana could do was wait.
As time passed, Yuliana sat on the couch in the living room and looked at her phone. The entire space was dark with only a
glimmer of light from her phone screen.
She checked the time and found that half an hour had passed, yet the electrician had yet to arrive. When Yuliana wanted to call
the management office again to ask, she heard a knock on the door. She thought it was the electrician, so she hurriedly got up
from the couch to answer the door. However, as soon as the door was opened, a tall, shadowy figure approached and tried to
press Yuliana down. before she could even see the face of the person.
Yuliana could not bear the heavy weight of that person and subconsciously took a few steps backward.
At that moment, the shadowy figure pressed against Yuliana’s body and pushed her into the house. That person then closed the
door behind him and pressed Yuliana against the door instead.
The process was so fast that Yuliana had no time to react. She could only feel a sharp pain on her lips. Only then did she realize
what situation she was in. A sudden burst of fear assailed her heart.
Yuliana struggled hard to resist. The person clenched her wrist with one hand and gripped her chin with the other, forcing her to
raise her head.
Yuliana could not get a clear view of the person’s face in the dark. All she had was a blur vision of that person’s features. She
was so scared that tears began to gush out of her eyes and stream down her cheeks.
Suddenly, the person paused momentarily before gently kissing her cheeks covered with tears. A hoarse male voice then rang
out. “Stop crying...”
Upon hearing that voice, Yuliana was stunned for a moment, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably. and she shed even
more tears.
As Yuliana trembled in fear, she clenched her teeth, forcing herself to call out, “Christopher!”
“Hmm?” Christopher grunted a faint reply as he continued to kiss her face, the tip of her nose, and her lips.

Yuliana’s chest was inundated with mixed emotions. She felt bitter and uncomfortable, yet there was no way for her to vent. Her
tears continuously flowed out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She could not stop herself from crying, so even her body
began to spasm.
“Don’t cry...” Christopher said impatiently.
He let go of Yuliana’s hand and chin as he listened to her sobbing. Yuliana’s cries were like a chanting spell, which made
Christopher feel a bit of a headache. He did not know how to stop the woman from crying. After a while, Christopher clumsily
wiped away Yuliana’s tears and threatened, “If you cry again, I’ll take off your clothes.”
When Yuliana heard that threat, she gradually stopped dropping tears. It was not that she was afraid of the threat, but she felt
ashamed to cry like a fool in front of Christopher.
