Chapter 52 I Can Apologize To You
The two of them seemed to be at an impasse, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly dropped to freezing point again.
Yuliana used to believe that nothing in this world couldn’t be solved. It was just a matter of time and method. She could even let go of her love for Harry, which had lasted ten years. What else couldn’t be worked out?
Nevertheless, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration facing Christopher.
She felt helpless and uneasy when she first found out she was pregnant. However, when she decided to have the baby, her first thought was to tell the baby’s father.
She even thought that as long as Christopher was willing, they could agree to marry and be a couple before divorcing when the right opportunity arose.
She quickly realized that she had thought wrongly.
Even if she wanted to keep the child, it didn’t mean Christopher would want to. Christopher would also not be willing to take responsibility for her decision and for a life he didn’t want.
Christopher had his own life and life path. She shouldn’t ruin his plans with a baby.
As a result, she made the decision unilaterally to give birth and not tell Christopher about her pregnancy.
Was it wrong for her to do that?
Whether she wanted to admit it or not, Christopher would always be the child’s father as long as the child was born.
Yuliana reasoned that she should have a good discussion with Christopher based on this understanding.
She paused to consider what to say before uttering. “I didn’t handle it properly when I kept the pregnancy from you. I’ll apologize to you. I also know that you are about to marry Ms. Johnson, so this child will only pose trouble for you. I understand that you don’t want the child, but you don’t have to worry. Even if I go ahead with the pregnancy, you don’t have to take responsibility for the child. If you are still concerned, I can. sign an agreement with you that the child will never disrupt your and Annabelle’s lives. Do you think this arrangement is fine with you?”
Yuliana had uttered the last sentence cautiously.
It was the first time Yuliana spoke so courteously in front of him.
Christopher snorted coldly. “What if I say it’s not?”
Yuliana’s face stiffened. She frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, “What do you want then?” Christopher pursed his thin lips and stared at her. He appeared to be thinking about Yuliana’s question. He didn’t respond to her because he clearly didn’t have an answer for her.
The phone rang suddenly and finally broke the silence in the car.
Christopher looked at the caller ID. After a long time, he picked up his phone to answer it.
“Where have you been?”
It was so quiet in the car that Yuliana could hear a familiar, soft feminine voice.
Christopher asked casually, “Are you done?”
Annabelle washed the paint on her hands and replied sweetly, “Chris, don’t you even look at the time? It’s already past seven o’clock!”
Christopher raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. It was indeed past seven o’clock.
Seeing that Christopher wasn’t saying anything, Annabelle glanced at the phone on the sink and said, “If you can’t come here because you have something to do, I’ll take a taxi to the Solace residence by myself. However, today is Mrs. Solace’s birthday. You can’t be late as her son.”
It was Winnie’s 67th birthday. They did not plan a big celebration, so they were only having a family dinner. Christopher and Annabelle had agreed that he would go to the art studio to pick up Annabelle in the afternoon Since Christopher didn’t appear at the art studio after seven o’clock, she called him.
Christopher leaned back on the seat and massaged his temples. He replied after a while, “Got it. I’ll come and
pick you up right now.”
Annabelle remained silent for a moment before hanging up the phone.
Christopher placed his phone back on the phone mount. Even though it was neither a soft nor heavy sound, Yuliana could feel his frustration at the moment.
She said, “If you have something to do tonight, we can talk about this another day.”
Christopher looked at her and abruptly opened the car door without saying anything. He walked to the other side, opened the door, leaned in, and unbuckled Yuliana’s seat belt.
Then, he said, “Get out of the car.”
Yuliana looked at his darkened expression. She hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car.
Christopher closed the car door, grabbed Yuliana’s wrist, and walked towards the elevator.
Yuliana didn’t have time to react at all. She stumbled for a while before she managed to stabilize herself. She tried to break free from his grasp and said coldly, “Christopher!”
Christopher ignored her struggles. The elevator door opened, and he pushed her into the elevator easily.
He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. He warned with a darkened expression, “Yuliana, you better not mess with me this time. Otherwise, you will only be the one suffering!” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Yuliana stared at him with reddened eyes. She finally calmed down after a long moment.
The elevator stopped on the 29th floor. Christopher dragged Yuliana out of the elevator by her wrist and took
her home.
Yuliana had no idea what he wanted to do, but she didn’t have any pleasant memories from her last visit here, so she subconsciously felt uncomfortable in this apartment.
“Can you let go of me now?” she said coldly, pulling at her sore wrist.
Christopher glanced at her wrist before looking at her face for a second. A strange feeling rose in Christopher’s heart as he looked at her reddened eyes and nose.
He released her wrist and averted his gaze. However, his voice was still cold. “Stay here, and don’t go anywhere!”
Before Yuliana realized what he meant, Christopher turned around, opened the door, and left. When she heard the sound of the door being locked, she instantly hurried over to try to open the door. As expected, she
couldn’t unlock the door at all.
“Christopher!”
Yuliana kept pounding on the door and calling out Christopher’s name. However, no matter how loud she yelled, the only response she got was her echoes.
