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.

When the two children got together, the only thing that Christopher wanted to do was to pack them up and send them to outer space.

Upon hearing Christopher’s reply, Yuliana was quiet again.

Then, Christopher put down his glass and leaned back against his chair. He stared at Yuliana for a moment and said, “Ms. Livingstone, did you ask me out merely to ask me whether I like children?”

“Of course not.”

Her mind was a mess. Yuliana picked up the coffee in front of her and wanted to take a sip, but she came back to her senses immediately. She hesitated for half a second before placing it back on the table.

As he looked at her action, Christopher narrowed his eyes.

“Christopher…” Yuliana pinched the back of her hand hard and looked up to meet his gaze. “You don’t like other people’s children. What about your own children?”

Christopher was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed in his mind quickly. Before he could think of what it was, it had disappeared.

“My own children?”

Yuliana responded, “Yes. You don’t like children. When you have your own children, will you continue not to

like them?”

Christopher frowned. He was not dinky, and therefore, he never opposed the idea of having children. However, the idea of having a child was too far-fetched for him. At the very least, he still did not have any plans of having children at the moment.

Christopher shrugged. “Who knows? I don’t have any children. I’ll only know once I have one.”

Then, he paused before looking at Yuliana with a half-smile. He raised his eyebrows, and said slowly, “Are you thinking of having a child with me, Ms. Livingstone?”

Yuliana met Christopher’s gaze for a moment and pursed her lips slightly. When she was about to tell him about the pregnancy, they heard the sound of a ringtone rang out. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

It came from Christopher’s pocket.

Yuliana had prepared herself mentally, but she was interrupted by the sudden sound of the ringtone. Thus, she immediately swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Looking at her reaction, a trace of suspicion flashed in Christopher’s eyes. However, he merely took out his phone and looked at it.

He stared at the caller ID for a while before answering the call.

Yuliana did not know what the person on the other end of the phone had said. Nevertheless, she was able to hear Christopher asking the person coldly, “Where is it?”

Then, he added, “Keep an eye on them. I’ll be right there! Christopher was already standing up as he spoke. Having said that, Christopher ended the call. He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that someone was sitting opposite him.

Christopher paused. When he was about to speak, Yuliana said, “If you have something urgent to do, you can leave first.”

Yuliana’s attitude was very cold and indifferent. It was as if she was not the one who asked him to meet her. Christopher then said, “You asked me to meet you. What exactly do you want?”

Yuliana said in a low voice, “It’s nothing important.”

Upon hearing her answer, Christopher glanced at her before walking out of the coffee shop quickly.

Yuliana breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that she did not say anything.

Although she did not know the person who had called him and what was said over the phone, she could not think of anyone except Annabelle who could make Christopher react that much.

If she were to tell him about the pregnancy, she would have to get involved with Christopher and Annabelle for the rest of her life, even after the child was born.

Christopher arrived at the place in a hurry. He saw Harry coming out of a private room while carrying Annabelle in his arms. She was wrapped in Harry’s coat. Judging from the messy hair and ruined makeup. one could imagine what had happened before.

When she saw Christopher, Annabelle’s eyes turned red, and tears rolled down her face instantly. “Chris.” Christopher approached them and caressed her hair. “Hush, don’t cry. I’ll cut him up for you, okay?”

“Do you want to make me feel nauseous?” Annabelle pursed her lips.

Christopher looked at her once before turning to look at Harry. Then, he said to Harry, “Get her out of here first. I’ll deal with everything in here.”

Upon hearing his words, Annabelle struggled to get down. “No!”

As soon as her feet were on the ground, Harry slapped her buttocks. Then, he said coldly, “Believe it or not, I’ll break your legs.”

Annabelle was furious and stared at him with tears in her eyes. “Harry, what is wrong with you?”

After glancing at them, Christopher walked into the private room and closed the door.

Shortly afterward, a series of miserable shrieks were heard coming from the private room.

Annabelle wrapped the coat tightly around her and looked at the closed door of the private room with a gloomy expression.

Harry said coldly, “Annabelle, is this what you want to see?”

Annabelle looked at Harry and gave a faint smile. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Harry merely glanced at her calmly, bent down, scooped her up, and left the club.

It was already past midnight when Christopher returned to Oceanview Apartment.

When he entered the room, he saw the lights were on. He looked up and saw a petite figure curled up on the couch in the distance.
