Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 I Missed You

New Year’s Eve was a momentous day for the Solace family. According to their custom, on this day, Zachary’s siblings, Zavier Solace and Zaiden Solace, and their families would be invited to have a meal together at noon to celebrate the new year.

In previous years, Joyce handled all the preparations.

It would be different this year. Yuliana was also the daughter-in-law of the Solace family. Therefore, after Yuliana’s school holiday, Joyce took the initiative to discuss the preparations with her.

However, Yuliana had no experience in the matter.

Neither Damian nor Callie were the people who would take care of their family much. On New Year’s Eve, they would have a lot of socializing to do. They would only return home to have dinner with Yuliana at night and give her some monetary gift. That was about it. When Yuliana was married to Harry, they would go to the nursing home to have lunch with Harry’s grandma Amelia on New Year’s Eve and then visit the Ziegler family for the family dinner in the evening.

After dinner, Harry would have a lot of socializing, and Yuliana would always stay home.

Therefore, Joyce was the one who came up with the idea and preparations in the end, and Yuliana could only help her out since she had no experience.

Christopher returned to Juxshire the day before New Year’s Eve.

The Solace Corporation Romdale Branch had a lot of problems left behind, many of which needed to be solved urgently. The project that caused issues before was also prepared to resume work. It was expected to continue after the New Year holiday. Therefore, Christopher had to rush around various places to solve the problem during this period.

The case of Yorick’s death was closed after the police investigated and ruled out suspicions of Yorick being murdered.

Christopher went to Romdale for half a month.

In the past half of the month, they had only seen each other a few times by video calling.

After the holiday, Yuliana picked up some luggage and moved into Juxshire Skylake Residence. After all, the house at the Celestial Garden was rented. After getting married to Christopher, Yuliana thought it would be better to spend the New Year at their home with him.

Hailey cooked dinner for Yuliana and returned to the Solace residence as she was preparing the family dinner for the Solace family the next day.

Christopher’s flight was around seven o’clock in the evening, but he reached home late, almost early in the morning, due to the flight delay of nearly an hour.

Yuliana curled up on the couch and waited for him while watching TV. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

As her pregnancy progressed, she became drowsy easily. At about ten o’clock, she felt her eyelids were heavy, so she fell asleep listening to the sound of the TV.

Yuliana did not sleep long, as if she had a feeling that someone was coming back. She suddenly woke up about ten minutes before the clock struck twelve early in the morning.

She glanced at the time and planned to call Christopher. When she asked him about his whereabouts, she heard a noise from the door. She turned her head and saw the door open slowly from the outside.

Christopher walked in with his luggage.

Yuliana was stunned for a moment.

They looked at each other for a while until Christopher looked at her with a gentle smile. He stretched his arms and said teasingly, “Ana, you haven’t seen your husband for half a month. Shouldn’t you greet him warmly?”

Yuliana returned to her senses. She hurriedly stood up and walked over. She then threw herself into Christopher’s arms and hugged his waist.

Christopher wrapped around her thin back tightly and looked down at her. He asked, “Did you miss me?” Yuliana raised her head and asked back softly, “Well, did you miss me?”

Christopher did not answer. He stared at her face for a while and leaned down to kiss her on the lips.

Christopher hugged her and kissed her for a while. While his lips were still caressing hers, he whispered teasingly, “What do you think? Did I miss you?”

“Yeah, you’re so desperate to miss me,” Yuliana replied.

Yuliana’s body trembled, and she hurriedly broke free from Christopher. She blushed and felt breathless. She stared at his lips and could not help but raise her head to kiss him again, just like how he had just kissed her.

She missed him very much too.

Before Christopher returned, she only thought about missing him for a little, but as time went by, she got more and more excited about his return.

When Yuliana saw Christopher appear at the door, her excitement had reached its peak. She just wanted to rush over and hug him tightly, only to find that she missed him very much and wanted to hug and kiss him for a long time, refusing to release him.

They kissed at the door for a while, reluctant to stop.

Yuliana felt weak from the kiss and was carried back to their room by Christopher. He kissed the tip of her nose and lips, talking to her in a hoarse voice, “I’ll take a shower and come back soon.”

Yuliana looked into his eyes and replied in a trembling voice, “I miss you.”

There was still undissolved desire in her eyes, and her pupils were dark and bright.

Christopher’s heart shook twice. He gently tucked the strand of hair on her face away and bent down to kiss her again.

The kiss was gentle and long, and it seemed to have a kind of comforting effect.

After the kiss ended, Yuliana’s breath returned to normal, and her emotions calmed down.

Christopher said, “I’ll be back soon.”

After saying that, he immediately got up and went to the bathroom.

Yuliana was lying on the bed, recalling their exchange just now. Her calm heartbeat turned fast again.

She was not a person who would show and express her emotions easily. When she liked Harry before, she did not show her love strongly to him. However, it was as if she was a different person tonight, and she hardly recognized herself.

The next day, Yuliana suddenly woke up. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was almost nine o’clock in the morning.

Beside her, Christopher was still fast asleep.

She patted him twice. “Christopher, stop sleeping!”

Hearing the voice, Christopher frowned and looked up with his eyes open. He started to feel anxious after seeing Yuliana was about to get out of bed.

He stretched out his arm and pulled Yuliana down. He let her fall on his chest and turned over to adjust their position, tucking her hair behind. He kissed and bit lightly on her neck and shoulder.

“There’s no need to be in a rush,” Christopher said lightly.

Yuliana pushed him and dodged his kiss. She replied in a hurry, “Stop it. We have to return to the Solace residence. It’s already nine o’clock.”

He only replied, “Nine o’clock, and it’s still early.”

“How is it early?” Yuliana thought.

The family dinner would start at twelve o’clock at noon. If they would prepare and be ready to leave now, it would be almost eleven o’clock when they reach the Solace residence. The family members of Christopher’s two uncles, Zavier and Zaiden, would have arrived before them.

It would be inappropriate to have the elders wait for them.

Yuliana shouted, “Christopher!”

Christopher froze and supported his head up slowly, looking at her.

She frowned and looked slightly annoyed. Her watery eyes were captivating.

Christopher replied in a hoarse voice, “Call me honey as you called me last night, then I’ll get up right away.”

Upon hearing it, Yuliana felt shy and annoyed at the same time. She could not help glaring at him.

Christopher gently pecked her lips and said, trying to coax her, “Ana, I want to hear you say it. Can you say it to me again?”

Yuliana did not understand why a man like him could effortlessly act like a spoiled child. Instead of making her feel annoyed, she could only think of agreeing to his demands regardless of anything.

Her heart softened from the action.

Yuliana’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “Remember to keep your promise.”

Christopher mentioned before that what he said in bed was untrustworthy. Yuliana had suffered from believing his words and had some experience with that.

“Okay. I will.” Christopher nuzzled the tip of her nose and chuckled.

He thought, “Well, she had learned to be smart.”

Yuliana hesitated for a while. She pulled him down by his neck and gently whispered the word in his ears.

Only Christopher could hear the word, and it sounded like it was from a kitten.

Christopher began to toy with Yuliana again. “Your voice is too soft. I didn’t hear it. It doesn’t count!”

“Christopher!” Yuliana knew Christopher would react like this.

She was so angry that she could not help biting him.

In the end, both of them finally got up from bed after being delayed until half past nine. It was already past eleven o’clock when they returned to the Solace residence. Most of Christopher’s relatives from Zavier’s and Zaiden’s families had arrived.
