Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 254 Proper Introduction

Yuliana turned away and regained her composure, but she did not look back.

However, Christopher saw this and his face darkened. He stared at Yuliana stonily for a moment, then left to look for Raymond and Leonard.

Sensing that something might have happened between Yuliana and Christopher, Xandria asked the former, “Did you and Christopher get into a fight?”

Stumped, Yuliana looked up to meet Xandria’s imploring gaze before answering hesitantly, “No.”

It had been a while since she last quarreled with Christopher.

During their early days, quarreling was almost a daily activity for them, if not second nature. But, as time went on and they got to know each other, they couldn’t seem to find the drive to pick fights with each other anymore.

To be fair, Christopher treated her decently enough. He certainly never abandoned his responsibilities and fooled around aside. He even took care of the household and Rowan during his free time.

In any case, he was a good husband; better than Yuliana expected.

Alas, human nature was such that one simply would not be satisfied with what one had, and high expectations would only lead to greater disappointments.

Dinner began shortly after.

Christopher returned to escort Yuliana to dinner. They were seated at the same table as Xandria and Raymond. There were other familiar faces at the table as well, and being younger than Christopher and Raymond, they greeted the two men politely.

Given their similarity in age, the group got along well.

Christopher was a man of few words, but he seemed particularly quiet this evening. Normally, when he was among friends, he wouldn’t mind voicing his thoughts during a conversation that was on a topic of interest, and he would appear more laid-back as well.

However, he kept to himself the entire evening, and if Raymond had not initiated small talk with him, he would not have uttered a single word at all.

All the more concerning was the stormy look on his face,

That being said, he was still an attentive partner to Yuliana, and he made sure to taste every dish before he gave her helpings.
