Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 27 I Do Not Like Them

Yuliana stopped and thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. She stared at Christopher for two seconds before she was able to confirm that it was really him who sat in front of her.

“But why is he even here? Why did he come here?” she wondered.

The two looked at each other for a while. Yuliana acted indifferently, but the slight frown of her eyebrows conveyed a different message. It seemed like she was not very happy to see Christopher.

Christopher was quick to notice her attitude, and his eyes suddenly became colder. He smirked and said, “I thought that you didn’t want to have anything to do with me, and you even told me not to disturb your life. What are you doing now, Ms. Livingstone? Are you playing hard to get?”

Yuliana ignored his sarcastic remark and lowered her eyelids. No one knew what was going on in her mind. After a while, she pulled out the chair and sat down again. Looking at Christopher opposite her, she asked, “What would you like to drink?*

Christopher fixed his gaze on her. After a short silence, he gestured with his hand. The next moment, the waiter came over. Christopher then said, “Iced long black, please. Thank you.”

They did not speak for those few minutes when his drink was being prepared.

Yuliana put her hands under the table and looked out of the window. At that time, two children aged around three or four were chasing and playing with each other not far from them. From the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that the children were having a good time. Even though the distance was far, she was able to see their faces were flushed with excitement.

After staring at Yuliana for a while, Christopher followed her gaze and looked out of the window. He sneered, “Ms. Livingstone, haven’t you seen enough kids at school?”

Yuliana came back to her senses and looked at Christopher. Just then, the waiter brought his drink over. Christopher took the glass and bit the straw before drinking the drink expressionlessly. Then, he lifted his gaze and looked at Yuliana, who happened to stare at him.

That was the time when he noticed that she was different from before. There seemed to be an emotion in her eyes, but it was very vague.

Christopher frowned. Before he could figure out what it was, he heard Yuliana asking, “Don’t you like children?”

“I don’t like them,” Christopher blurted out without thinking.

When she mentioned children, Christopher immediately thought of Alex. The child was troublesome, naughty, talked too much, and was noisy. He always dared to oppose Christopher. Previously, Christopher used to hear that boys were naughty and girls were very obedient. However, after Zofia was born, he realized that she was an annoying kid as well.
