Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 432 Jacob Is Gone

“But I’m not happy to see you like this. Ana, I’m only happy if you’re happy”

Yuliana would have found these words sweet if he had said them three years ago.

But now, she only found them to be ironic.

Yuliana stared at him for a few seconds before turning her eyes away. “Don’t act so affectionate. It’s disgusting.”

When she was done speaking, she picked up her phone and went into the bathroom.

Yuliana stayed in the bathroom for a long time.

Christopher was nowhere to be found when she came out.

She stood in a daze for a few seconds, only to feel that the room was too quiet.

The weather outside the window was gloomy, and everything seemed lifeless.

It made her feel depressed.

The police never called, even when the sky had turned dark. Instead, it was Jacob who called.

“Yuliana, why is my mom’s phone still turned off?” Jacob was obviously anxious.

Yuliana took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “Maybe she couldn’t buy a new phone because she’s been busy these days.”

Jacob continued, “But Mom isn’t like this. It doesn’t take much time to buy a phone, and the brand of the phone she normally uses isn’t expensive. Mom knows that I’d talk to her every day, so there’s no way she wouldn’t buy a new one after so many days. Yuliana, maybe you could send me Chandler’s number? I’ll call him and ask about what happened. Mom wasn’t in great condition when I transferred to Juxshire. I’m worried about her being home alone.”

“Um… Jake, I’m outside now, so it’s not a convenient time to talk. Perhaps I could call Chandler later and tell him to visit Aunt Sabrina? I’ll call you again by then. Will that do?” Yuliana didn’t know how to tell Jacob that Sabrina had disappeared.

After all, they had not confirmed that the dead body was Sabrina.

“Jacob is only a teenager. How could he bear the news?” she thought.

Jacob kept silent for a while. When he spoke again, the anxiousness in his tone was much more evident. He also sounded a little choked up as he said, “Tell me honestly, Yuliana. Something’s happened to Mom, hasn’t it?”

“Stop worrying so much.” Yuliana paused, and as if trying to comfort herself too, she said, “Nothing will happen to Aunt Sabrina, Jake.”
