Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 103 Can You Pick Me Up?

If it had been a few months ago, Yuliana would not have believed it.

Yuliana didn’t reply to Christopher. Although she knew clearly that she was not dreaming, she still felt a little surreal.

As long as she was idle, she couldn’t help thinking about getting married. Then, she would think of Christopher and

the kiss last night.

She felt restless.

After the morning class, Yuliana chatted with Jonathan for more than 20 minutes during PE class. She didn’t know

whether her words worked and felt that the children should understand some of their parents’

decisions at some time.

Back in the office, after ten o’clock, she had no class in the morning. She looked through the uncorrected

homework and was ready to mark it. However, with a red pen in her hand and looking at the homework in front of

her, she couldn’t focus.

The man’s face came to her mind again.

She had always been strong in self-control. She could calm down if she wanted to do anything, but she didn’t know

why she was so abnormal today.

That situation had never occurred before.

“Ms. Livingstone, do you know about Mr. Norris’ invitation to dinner?”

Hearing Fiona’s voice, Yuliana came back to her senses and asked, “What dinner?”

Fiona said, “Mr. Norris from the office next door informed the group of his dinner invitation. He’ll treat all grade

teachers to dinner. Didn’t you read the group message?”

Hearing this, Yuliana checked the news on WhatsApp. As Fiona said after Sawyer informed the group, other

teachers agreed, but Yuliana had not responded. Sawyer had tagged Yuliana in the group several times, and Fiona

told her after seeing it.

Yuliana hurriedly agreed in the group chat, and then she apologized to Sawyer, saying she didn’t notice the

message.

Socialization was a very important part of their work in academia. After all, they had to work together for most of

their lives. It was inevitable for them to eat and socialize.

Although Yuliana didn’t want to go, she had to show others her respect.

After replying to Sawyer, Yuliana finally calmed down and began to mark her students’ homework.

However, it didn’t take long before her phone dinged. It was a text message.

She glanced at the screen and saw the familiar numbers.

It was from Christopher. He asked her to have dinner with him tonight.

Yuliana originally ignored him and continued to mark her homework. But after a while, she couldn’t help but look up

at her phone and finally picked it up to reply to him.

“I have something to do tonight. I can’t have dinner with you.”

Soon, Christopher replied, “What’s the matter?”

Yuliana replied, “My colleague’s birthday dinner. He invited all grade teachers.”

Christopher wrote. “I’ll go with you, and you can introduce them to me.”

Yuliana responded, “No”

Christopher sat in the empty office and turned the chair. The sunlight shone through the louvers and flickered

on him.

He looked at Yuliana’s response for a long time and asked, “Why not?”

The message was seen quickly, but Yuliana didn’t reply to him.

At this time, the door of the office was opened, and Kendrick’s secretary came in, “Mr. Christopher Solace, Mr.

Kendrick Solace asked you to go to the conference room.”

The office was temporarily vacated. It had been vacant before, and the landline had not yet been connected, so the

secretary came to inform him in person.

“Got it.”

Christopher didn’t raise his head. He replied lazily, stared at the response for two seconds, and then put away his

phone before following the secretary to the conference room.

“Why not?”

Yuliana looked at the message sent by Christopher, but she didn’t know how to reply, so she simply remained silent.

Although she decided to marry Christopher, she hadn’t made their relationship public yet.

She even felt nervous and uneasy.

The place for dinner in the evening was a Clusian restaurant, some distance away from the school. Yuliana and

Fiona went there in the car of a math teacher.

The teacher was Spencer Carl.

Compared to Yuliana and Fiona, he joined Juxshire Primary School a year after them. However, he had previous

experience teaching in a private school. In addition, when he joined Juxshire Primary School, a math teacher in their

grade happened to pass away from an illness. Therefore, he handled over and taught the second grade directly.

On the way to dinner, Fiona kept joking with Spencer, “Mr. Carl, what kind of women do you like? Why don’t I

introduce some to you?”

Spencer was two years older than Fiona and three years older than Yuliana. He was 27 years old this year. His

hometown was in a city around Juxshire. His family was inferior to the wealthy families in Juxshire. However, his

family conditions were already quite good.

Spencer smiled and glanced at Yuliana sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror without anyone noticing,

saying, “Someone gentle and good-looking.”

Fiona smiled, “Mr. Carl, your requirement is too broad. How about being more specific?”

Yuliana didn’t join the conversation, and she didn’t even listen to what they said. Since she didn’t respond to the

message to Christopher in the morning, Christopher didn’t send any more messages.

Did he get angry again?

After all, he was petty and would get angry over trivial matters.

Yuliana thought.

Soon, they arrived at the Clusian restaurant where they had dinner. The other teachers of other grades almost

arrived. There were two big round tables in the private room, and there were three seats left.

Yuliana sat next to Fiona, while Spencer sat next to Yuliana.

The three of them arrived late. As soon as they arrived, the elderly teacher shouted, asking the three to drink.

Yuliana and Fiona were not good at drinking, but even so, the nasty drinking culture was still planted within them,

especially since there were many elderly teachers at the table.

At last, Spencer stood out and said, “It has nothing to do with Ms. Livingstone and Ms. Clark. I was late because I

was slow. “Well, I’ll drink wine for the two ladies. How about letting them drink water instead of wine?”

Spencer emphasized that they were ladies. For this, others couldn’t help but listen to his arrangements. Otherwise,

they would appear to bully the ladies.

Anyway, Yuliana and Fiona were the youngest.

Most of the tables were full of elderly teachers. After drinking, they couldn’t hold back anymore. They talked

nonsense and smoked cigarettes. Their voices were even louder than usual in class. Yuliana sat in the private room

for a while and felt that she couldn’t breathe.

After saying something in Fiona’s ear, she picked up her phone and left the private room.

The environment in the restaurant was not very good, but there was still a rest area. Yuliana went to the couch in

the rest area and sat down. Then, she took out her phone and looked at it. After hesitating for a moment, she sent

a message to Christopher.

“Can you pick me up later?”

After typing, she tapped to send it.

Then, she kept staring at the screen of her phone, holding it tighter, and her palms were sweating.

She heard someone calling her name before she could respond to Christopher.

Yuliana looked up and saw Spencer approaching.

“Ms. Livingstone, why are you here?” Spencer sat down.

Yuliana could sense that he had been drinking and smoking in the private room and felt a little. uncomfortable due

to the pungent smell.

However, she didn’t say anything. She smiled and replied, “I came out for a while for relaxation.”
