Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 249 He Is Back

Seeing that Christopher wasn’t replying to her, Yuliana knew that he wouldn’t rest assured if he didn’t head

over.

She looked down and didn’t say anything for a while.

Christopher kept his eyes on her, trying to read something from her expression. However, Yuliana was very calm. At times like that, he actually hoped that Yuliana would have some emotions so that he’d feel better. “Okay, go ahead,” Yuliana interrupted him before he could say a thing. She looked up at him for a moment and said faintly, “Don’t drive by yourself since you’ve consumed alcohol. Call a designated driver or take a taxi.” After a pause, she added, “Come home early.”

Yuliana’s words made Christopher swallow back the words that he wanted to say. “Okay. Sleep early. Kylie’s here, and she can take care of Roe, so you don’t have to get up at night. Have a good rest.”

Yuliana hummed softly in response and then closed her eyes.

Christopher sat next to the bed for a while. After Yuliana’s breathing calmed down, he got up and left.

Hearing the sound of the door closing gently, Yuliana opened her eyes.

Looking at the ceiling above the bed, she stared at the light-irradiated lines carefully. Though she seemed indifferent earlier, she was affected deep down.

She was sleepy, yet she couldn’t sleep.

Yuliana got up from the bed and went to the nursery.

The lights in the nursery were on. Kylie fell asleep by the side. She had been tired these days and didn’t have a good rest, either. At that moment, she was sleeping soundly. She didn’t notice that Yuliana had come in.

Yuliana didn’t wake Kylie up. She gently walked to the crib and looked at Rowan, who was asleep.

It had been half a month since she was discharged from the hospital. Rowan grew fast. The pinkness of his skin began to fade, and his facial features were beginning to develop more. He was starting to look more and more like Christopher.

It was half past three in the morning when Christopher arrived at Grand Island Mansion.

The villa was brightly lit.

Christopher rang the doorbell. He waited for a while, but no one came to open the door. He tried to enter the password, but the password was wrong. Then he realized that Annabelle must have changed the password. He took out his phone and called Annabelle.

The phone was answered after two beeps.

“I’m here. Open the door.”

Annabelle had just fallen asleep. When she heard Christopher’s voice all of a sudden, she was confused for a moment. “Didn’t you know the password?”

Christopher was silent for a moment. “The password is wrong.”

Annabelle was stunned and told him a new set of numbers.

Grand Island Mansion was bought by Annabelle before she returned to the country. Christopher didn’t go there many times. Most of the time, she went to Oceanview Apartment to find him. She changed the

password once, but Christopher didn’t come later, so she forgot to tell him.

Christopher typed in the password and opened the door.

He checked around and saw that the doors and windows were closed, and the items in the villa didn’t look like someone had moved them.

Christopher went upstairs and knocked on Annabelle’s bedroom before pushing the door open.

The lights in the room were also on. At a glance, he saw Annabelle crouching on the floor by the bed. Her arms wrapped around her knees. Looking at him blankly, she was holding her phone tightly in her hand.

He frowned slightly and was about to walk toward her when he suddenly caught a glimpse of what was on the coffee table.

It was a whip that was rolled into two circles. The handle of the whip was made of wood, and it looked a little old.

Christopher’s eyes darkened. He walked to the coffee table. Picking up the whip, he looked at it carefully.

When Annabelle saw that, she suddenly got out of control and shouted, “Don’t touch it!”

After roaring, she immediately got up and rushed over. She grabbed the whip from Christopher and threw it hard. It fell to the corner of the wall.

Annabelle’s whole body was trembling, and her eyes widened in fear as she stared at the whip.

“He is back!”

Looking at Annabelle’s reaction, Christopher’s brows furrowed deeper. “Annabelle…”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Annabelle didn’t hear Christopher’s words at all, as if she was trapped in a nightmare. She continued mumbling to herself, “He’s back! It must be him!”

Christopher looked at Annabelle silently for a while and stepped forward to hug her. Annabelle seemed to have found a safe haven. She grabbed Christopher’s clothes and hid in his arms. Her eyes were still vigilant as she looked at the whip. Her body was shaking.

Annabelle didn’t sleep until dawn.

Christopher covered her with a blanket. Sitting down on the couch, he took out his phone and looked at it.

Yuliana didn’t send a message.

The last message was sent yesterday afternoon. Yuliana asked him if he would go back for dinner at night. He said he wouldn’t because there was a social engagement at night and asked her not to wait.

Yuliana hurriedly replied to him, saying that their son was crying.

Perhaps she had gone to take care of their son, so she no longer replied to him after that.

Christopher stared at the last message for a long time. He clicked on the keyboard button and typed some words. After hesitating for a while, he deleted them. Then he typed again, but he still deleted them in the end.

After repeating it several times, he still failed to send it. At last, he exited the WhatsApp interface.

He leaned against the couch and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Then, he went to the corner to pick up the whip. He looked at it carefully before checking around the room. Nothing suspicious was found.

Walking out of the room, Christopher continued checking the other places upstairs. But he found nothing.

Christopher went back to the first floor and checked again. When he checked the windows, he found that one of the window latches wasn’t locked, or rather, it was loose. Judging from its condition, it was clear that someone had tampered with it.

He stood there for a while. Then, he went to the couch in the living room and slept there for two hours. When the day brightened, he called the management office of Grand Island Mansion and asked them for footage of last night from the surveillance cameras near Annabelle’s villa.

However, no suspicious person came in except Annabelle.

Christopher wandered around the villa and found that there were many blind spots around Annabelle’s villa. It was not difficult to get in through that window without getting caught on camera.

With some speculation in his heart, Christopher left a note for Annabelle and left.

On the way back to Oceanview Apartment, he passed by a breakfast restaurant. Christopher went there and bought wholemeal buns of different flavors and some hash browns.

When he got home, he gave Hailey the food and asked, “Is Ana awake?”

Shaking her head, Hailey looked at him with some reproach in her eyes. “I heard from Kylie that she didn’t sleep much last night and had been taking care of Roe.”

Christopher asked, “Where is she?”

Hailey glanced at the bedroom and said, “Roe has just woken up. Yuliana carried him to her room to feed him milk.”

When Christopher opened the door and entered, Yuliana had just finished feeding Rowan. Upon hearing the noise from behind, Yuliana thought it was Hailey or Kylie. Only when she didn’t hear anyone speaking did she turn around.

When she saw Christopher, her eyes paused for a while. After two seconds, she said faintly, “You’re back.”
