Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 262

“Nobody,” Annabelle put down her wine glass and obviously did not want to say anything.

Yvette knew Annabelle’s personality very well. Annabelle liked to keep a lot of things to herself. She never even confessed to her best friends. Christopher was the only one she could rely on and feel safe with.

But now that Christopher and Yuliana were married, Annabelle obviously could not bother them too much.

At the thought of that, Yvette felt unworthy of Annabelle.

Yvette and Annabelle knew each other from university. They were from different faculties and majors.

When Yvette first entered her freshman year, she heard Annabelle’s name on campus. Annabelle was known as the university’s campus belle, and many guys were chasing after her. Even Yvette’s new boyfriend at that time was full of praise for Annabelle whenever he mentioned her.

Usually, girls could not endure their boyfriends complimenting other girls on how pretty they were.

At first, Yvette did not have a good impression of the rumored campus belle, Annabelle.

Never did she expect that Annabelle would move to her dormitory within two months after the semester started.

There were four beds in each dormitory, and Yvette just happened to have one available dorm.

Although Yvette did not like Annabelle, she would not try to quarrel with the latter just after hearing. her boyfriend praising her. Therefore, after living peacefully for a period of time, they did not interact much, as Annabelle was not very enthusiastic and basically had no contact with the other people in the dormitory.

The reason why they became friends was because of the foolish boyfriend she had.

No, it was better to say he was Yvette’s ex-boyfriend.

She even forgot her ex-boyfriend’s name and appearance, but thinking of it seriously, Yvette should thank that ex-boyfriend. If it were not for him, she would not have had the chance to be friends with Annabelle.

Recalling the memories, Yvette curled her lips and came back to her senses. She looked at Annabelle and said, “Since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask further. But Annabelle, you missed the chance to be with Christopher. Do you really not regret it?”

Although it was not difficult for Annabelle to find an excellent man to marry her with her looks, it was not easy for her to meet another man like Christopher, who had the best features and family background. The most important point was that Christopher treated Annabelle well.

Annabelle was not young anymore. A woman’s beauty could only last for a few years. Once she was over 30 years old, no matter how good-looking she was, she could not compete with a woman in her twenties.

In the end, men still liked their women young.

Annabelle snorted. “It’s pointless now whether I regret it or not. Besides, Christopher has never loved

me.”

Yvette smiled and said, “Is him loving you that important? Wouldn’t it be enough if he’s good to you? Annabelle, you’re just too greedy. Once you’re greedy, you may end up with nothing in the end.”

Yvette had been in a lot of relationships. She thought it did not matter whether she loved someone

after she had been in one too many relationships. What mattered was whether she could live with someone together as life companions and live a life without worries in the future.

Just like her mother, who pursued love unconditionally and still became the kind of person Yvette hated most because her mother was trapped in a life she did not desire later on.

Thinking of her mother, Yvette smiled ironically and said, “Annabelle, there are always trade-offs with anything. You can’t just have all the good things for yourself.” Annabelle frowned and wanted to retort, but she could not say anything.

Annabelle was speechless because Yvette was right. She was just greedy.

For a while, she thought it would be nice if Christopher and Harry were the same people.

“Forget about what I said. Let’s not talk about it.” Yvette stood up and dragged Annabelle. “Let’s go dance.”

Annabelle felt a little tired and sat still. “Go ahead. I’ll sit here for a while. I’m tired.”

Yvette did not force Annabelle to join her after seeing her fatigued face and went to the dance floor. The next day, Christopher returned to Oceanview Apartment for lunch and played with Rowan for some time.

He had not seen Rowan for a few days and thought his son had grown up a lot.

When Christopher came back. Yuliana did not act strangely nor did she deliberately ignore him. The two of them would still speak to each other for anything as usual as they played with their child together.

However, Hailey still noticed something strange, especially when Christopher was not at home these days.

When Yuliana returned to her room, Hailey called Christopher aside and asked with concern, “Mr. Solace, did you quarrel with Yuliana?”

“I didn’t.” Christopher denied it. He paused for a while and added, “I’ve been a little busy lately, so I don’t have much time to stay home. Hailey, don’t tell anyone at the Solace residence about this.”

Hailey froze for a moment and reacted quickly. She hurriedly said, “I cook and clean up the house every day. I don’t know anything else.”

Christopher nodded and said with a smile, “Please take care of Ana and Roe. Inform me if there is anything wrong happening at home.”

Hailey replied, “I will. Don’t worry, Mr. Solace.”

Christopher had an appointment this afternoon. When it was almost time, he handed Rowan to the maternity matron and went back to his room.

Yuliana was curled up on the couch and reading a book.

Christopher stood still and watched her quietly for a while. He did not say anything and gently closed the door and left.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yuliana, who had been reading attentively, suddenly paused. The words on the page could no longer be read clearly, as all her attention was focused behind her.

After a while, she put down her book and walked out of the room.

She glanced at the living room and then went to the nursery. Rowan had finished drinking milk, and the maternity matron was putting him to sleep.

Yuliana left the nursery and felt empty in her heart.

Christopher had an appointment with Yahir.

The meeting place was at Prestige Club.

Yahir was well aware of the relationship between Annabelle and the Solace family. Therefore, the people who entered Grand Island Mansion that night just placed a whip down and didn’t do anything to Annabelle because Yahir was worried that the Solace family would discover it. Things would be difficult to deal with then.

No matter what, he had to show some respect to the Solace family.

Yahir expected Christopher to come to him, but he did not think it would be this soon.

Christopher crossed his legs and sat on a single couch. He curled his lips faintly and looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him. “Mr. Hatfield, I’ve heard so much about you.”

Yahir was originally a gangster and was a famous figure in Juxshire in the last century.

Later, he went to prison for more than ten years. After being released, he started some small businesses. He had many kinds of “businesses” in his hand, and he was capable of doing anything he could. Many wealthy families in Juxshire had cooperated with him on these “businesses.”

If those families had issues they could not handle personally, they would contact Yahir and ask him to deal with them on their behalf.

The Lynch family was one of his long-term partners.

Of course, Yahir could not get all those connections alone, so those wealthy and influential families would give him some convenience.

Both sides considered working together for mutual benefit while holding each other’s weaknesses. That was the most secure type of relationship and cooperation.
