Chapter 62 Raised Status
Yuliana was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she looked at Christopher in surprise. She came back to her senses after a while, but there was some doubt in her eyes.
“Did you agree for me to give birth to the child?” Yuliana asked for confirmation.
Christopher smirked. “Will you not give birth if I don’t agree?”
Yuliana pursed her lips and said nothing.
Of course, even if Christopher didn’t agree, she would still give birth to the child since she had already decided to have it.
Christopher walked over and sat down on the couch. His legs were so long that he couldn’t stretch them. between the coffee table and the couch. As such, he could only bend them in a strange posture. He was silent for a long time as he closed his eyelids. No one knew what he was thinking.
Yuliana was a little uneasy and couldn’t help but ask, “What conditions do you have?”
It was as if Christopher did not hear her speak. He continued lowering his eyelids and didn’t move. Yuliana was about to continue speaking when Christopher suddenly spoke.
“Just as you said, let’s sign an agreement.” Christopher looked up at Yuliana with a cold expression. “Although the child was an accident, I am also responsible, so I will give you a sum of money. This sum of money is the alimony from me, which is enough for him to graduate from university or even study abroad.”
Yuliana frowned, “I don’t need it.”
Christopher sneered, “Yuliana, why are you being so arrogant? Given your current income, are you able to give him a good living and educational condition? Besides, the money is not for you. Who cares if you need it or not?” He paused and said, “Moreover, I will provide this money to save myself from worries. Wouldn’t it be more troublesome if the child is born and you come to look for me because you couldn’t afford to feed him?”
Although Yuliana’s income is not high at present, it is also not low. Since she decided to give birth to the baby, she had already made plans. She will be able to take care of the child’s needs.
However, if that could reassure Christopher, she could also temporarily accept the money on behalf of the child. She would let the child decide whether to accept the money when he or she got older.
“Okay, I’ll accept it. Do you have any other requirements?” Yuliana asked.
“I haven’t got any idea at the moment. I’ll get my lawyer to add it to the agreement when I think of something.” Christopher scratched his eyebrows with his finger, paused, and said, “Don’t you have anything to ask for?”
Yuliana thought for a while and looked at Christopher for a moment before she answered, “Although you are the biological father of the child, I hope that after the child is born, you will not appear in our lives. You also can’t let the child know that you are his or her dad. At the same time, I will not disclose that the child has. anything to do with you.”
The implication was that the child would not have any relationship with him, let alone any interaction.
She didn’t want to deprive the child of the right to fatherly love, but it was obvious that Christopher’s fatherly love was not reliable. He would have his own child in the future. It was better to never know it than to let the child know and be disappointed.
Either that or she would choose a suitable time to reveal it when the child was older.
On the other hand, it was also out of selfishness.
She was also afraid that the Solace family would know about the child one day and suddenly wanted to take the child back. What could she leverage to resist them?
Christopher stared at her expressionlessly for a while and sneered. “It’s exactly what I want. I’m still afraid that one day you’ll come to me with a child in your arms, wanting to raise your status by using a child and making me responsible for you.”
Yuliana ignored him and asked, “When can the agreement be drawn up?”
She just wanted to settle the matter quickly so that nothing could go wrong.
“What’s the hurry?” At the right time, the phone rang. Christopher looked at it as he replied, “I have to think about the terms of the agreement carefully. I will ask my lawyer to contact you after the agreement is
drafted. If you have no objection to it by then, we can then make an appointment to sign it.”
Yuliana felt insecure without a deadline. “Approximately how long will it take?”
After reading the message, Christopher stood up from the couch lazily. His expression was grim as he responded, “Yuliana, you’re not the only anxious one here. I’m more anxious than you.”
Yuliana thought about what he said and felt that it made sense.
After all, Christopher and Annabelle would get married soon. He must want to end this issue before marrying Annabelle.
Yuliana said, “Okay, ask your lawyer to contact me when the agreement is done.”
Christopher looked at Yuliana for another two seconds and said in a low voice, “Goodbye.”
He walked toward the door. When he passed by Yuliana, he paused slightly and couldn’t help but ask, “Yuliana…”
Yuliana turned her head and met his eyes. After a brief pause, she replied, “What?”
Christopher pursed his lips. “Nothing.”
After saying that, he walked to the door, opened it, and left.
Yuliana stared at the closed door for a while. A flash of emotion passed through her heart. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“His eyes were a little strange just now,” she thought.
Christopher drove to Prestige Club. By the time he arrived, the poker table had been set up in the private room, and a few rounds had been played.
Seeing Christopher enter, Raymond joked, “Didn’t you say you’re not free? What are you doing here? Are you inspecting the venue?”
