Chapter 272

Yuliana didn’t pay much attention to the book.

She noticed the noise at the door, but she didn’t look up at once and continued to be engrossed in her book.

After a while, she only raised her head when she noticed there wasn’t any

movement.

Yuliana was sitting on the bed, and Christopher was standing by the door. The room was quite large and there was some distance between them. Plus, it was dark with only a little light coming from the head of the bed, so they couldn’t see each other clearly.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Christopher walked in and went straight to the bed. He looked at Yuliana without saying anything. His gaze was deep and tinged with fatigue.

They hadn’t seen each other for half a month. Christopher wasn’t that much thinner than before, unlike Joyce, but he was much darker. His previously pale skin had turned into the color of wheat.

But the biggest change seemed to have happened from the inside.

The arrogant Christopher seemed to have been taken out of his body and replaced by another person. Yuliana felt like he was a stranger and yet couldn’t help but feel pained by all that he had gone through.

Yuliana put down the book in her hand and got up from the bed. Christopher grabbed her wrist to stop her from leaving.

Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She tilted her head to look at him and said, “I’ll fill up the bathtub for you so you can take a bath.”

Christopher didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked behind Yuliana, wrapped her tightly in his arms, and buried his head in her neck.

After a while, he let go of his hand and went straight into the walk-in wardrobe.

Yuliana stood there and stared in the direction of the walk-in wardrobe for a while. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She had the feeling that she and Christopher would never go back to what they used to be.

She snapped out of her trance and went into the bathroom to fill up the bathtub for Christopher.
