Chapter 184 Teasing Yuliana
Xandria had always been righteous and straightforward, so she was on good terms with many women in the circle.
Naturally, she was in all sorts of celebrity group chats.
Those group chats of hers had been flooding with messages ever since Zachary’s birthday banquet was held. the
day before. Everyone was talking about the incident that had happened during the birthday banquet. The Ziegler
family had leaked out the news a few days before the birthday banquet, claiming that Margaret would be marrying
into the Solace residence, and Zachary had arranged for such a grand birthday banquet just to take the opportunity
to announce the news.
Quincy and Margaret, in particular, had appeared both high-profile and proud on the birthday itself, so much so
that everyone bought their claim.
The atmosphere was on point. Quite a few ladies from other families were jealous of Margaret, but they were all
ready to accept reality.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge plot twist.
It turned out that Margaret was not the one who would be marrying into the Solace family. The former daughter-in-
law of the Ziegler family, Yuliana, would be marrying into the Solace family instead. Because of that, Quincy and
Margaret were thoroughly humiliated in public.
The ladies who had been offended and had always looked down on Quincy and Margaret would naturally not miss
the chance to shame the mother-and-daughter duo. Needless to say, they began circulating the news to everyone
they knew. Soon enough, even people who were never informed of the inside scoop had also gotten knowledge of
the matter.
Xandria could not be happier with the outcome..
The only thing disturbing her was that Yuliana was also caught in the middle.
Judging by the current circumstance, the group of ladies would certainly use Yuliana just to step on Quincy and
Margaret. Be that as it might, if Yuliana were to become a hindrance in the future, they would also use other people
to treat Yuliana just the same.
When Xandria thought about that, she sneaked a glance at Yuliana, only to find the latter’s calm visage. Xandria
then composed herself and uttered, “Yuliana, there’s something I haven’t told you.”
“What is it?” asked Yuliana.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXandria lowered her gaze and remained silent for a while before voicing, “Actually, Christopher came to me to
apologize for what had happened in high school.”
“What? When?” Yuliana was stunned for a moment.
“It was just when we were in a conflict after you told me you decided to be with him.” Xandria paused briefly as she
looked at her friend again. She added, “In fact, I think he apologized to me because of you.”
Christopher was a prideful man through and through. He and Xandria had not been in contact for ages. If
Christopher did not do that for Yuliana’s sake, Xandria could not fathom what other reasons might have been his
motivation.
However, upon viewing the matter from a different standpoint, Xandria thought that Christopher actually cared
about Yuliana a great deal.
At the very least, Christopher was a more thoughtful man than Harry could have ever been.
Moreover, Xandria could also see how important Yuliana was to the Solace family based on what happened at
Zachary’s birthday banquet the day before. That alone was more than enough evidence to show that the Solace
family was so much better than the Ziegler family.
All in all, Christopher was quite a gentleman to be with..
Yuliana, on the other hand, was at least expecting Christopher to apologize to Xandria, considering that all had been
in the past.
Right then, Xandria held Yuliana’s arm and gave her opinion in a serious tone. “Yuliana, if you ask me, I think
Christopher’s really into you.”
“Well Maybe.” A smile spread across Yuliana’s face.
Xandria then cast a glance at Yuliana’s tummy. “I guess I’ll be a godmother in a few months, huh?”
“You can’t just be one for nothing!” Yuliana flashed Xandria a grin as she spoke.
A snort escaped from Xandria’s lips. She patted Yuliana’s tummy lightly and reassured, “Don’t worry. I’ll be a dutiful
godmother! I will buy this future godson of mine some of the most beautiful clothes in the world!” With that, the
two of them went to pick up the brooch Xandria had ordered before they had lunch at noon. After eating, they took
a moment’s rest and then started shopping.
To be honest, Yuliana had nothing on her wish list. She was purely accompanying her friend, Xandria. Xandria kept
her promise and brought Yuliana to several maternity stores. She bought dozens of clothes for newborns and even
those for two-year-olds. Not only that, but she also bought various baby products. Xandria had gotten so much stuff
that the two of them could barely carry all the items by themselves. It took multiple attempts before Yuliana finally
dissuaded Xandria from buying more.
After Xandria paid for the items and after they left the maternity store, Yuliana suddenly caught sight of something
familiar.
It was the stroller she had seen the day before when she was having a meal with Christopher.
“Oh, you like this?” Xandria shook the stroller slightly.
Yuliana did not offer a response. All she did was scrutinize that stroller.
Seeing Yuliana’s reaction, Xandria immediately went on, “I’ll get this for you.”
“No, I’ll buy this myself,” insisted Yuliana.
After that, she summoned the sales assistant to fetch her a brand new piece of that stroller. She then fished a card
from her bag and handed it to the sales assistant.
“No wonder you didn’t want me to buy it for you,” remarked Xandria with a smirk.
Given that they had way too many things in their hands to carry, they put the things in the car first before finding a
place to chill out. Later, they continued to shop again.
At 5 p.m., Yuliana received a call from Christopher. He asked if they had finished getting what they wanted.
Noticing that Xandria was also tired, Yuliana figured that Xandria should be pretty much done with it, so she replied,
“Yes, we’re done.”
“Why don’t you and Xandria find a spot to rest first? I’ll come to meet up with you two. We’ll be having dinner
somewhere. Bring Xandria along.” suggested Christopher.
“Is someone else joining us?” asked Yuliana.
“Yes. Just Raymond, Leonard, and the gang.” Christopher answered.
“Okay.”
Yuliana’s tone was indifferent as she gave her reply. After all, those guys were good friends with Christopher. As
Yuliana hung up the phone, she told Xandria about the dinner at night. With that, they wandered around the place
all afternoon. Eventually, they were exhausted, so they decided to give themselves treats at a dessert shop. They
ordered some desserts and fruit juice as they sat and waited for Christopher’s arrival. After the duo waited for half
an hour, Christopher showed up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYuliana hopped into Christopher’s car while Xandria drove in her own car, following the couple as they made their
way to a Clusian restaurant.
The Clusian restaurant was owned by Leonard’s relatives, and it would always be fully booked during the holidays.
There was no way for anybody to get a table without booking one in advance. Thankfully, the group relied on
Leonard’s connections and got themselves extra seating to dine in.
Among Christopher’s friends, Yuliana was only acquainted with Raymond and Leonard. Even though the others
looked familiar to her, she did not know them.
Just as Raymond was about to greet Yuliana, he saw Xandria behind them, and his expression changed instantly.
“Hey, chubby girl! Why are you also here?”
“It’s none of your business!” Xandria rolled her eyes at him.
Immediately afterward, she strode in and took a seat.
As Raymond touched his nose, he turned to Yuliana and teased, “Ms. Livingstone, should I be addressing you as my
dear little sister-in-law from now on?”
Raymond was a few months younger than Christopher but still about a year older than Yuliana.
“If I were to address her formally, things wouldn’t have been fun,” Raymond pondered.
With that thought in mind, he found his idea of calling Yuliana his little sister-in-law delightful.
Christopher hurled a kick toward Raymond upon hearing those words. Sadly, Raymond did not see it coming. Thus
he groaned in pain.
Then came Christopher’s sneer. “She’s not your little sister-in-law, okay? My mom only gave birth to three children,
so don’t you even think of pretending to be my sibling”
Raymond’s face was filled with grievances. He secretly cursed Christopher.
The rest looked at Raymond’s mien and laughed at him. Among them, Xandria guffawed the loudest.
Raymond glared at Xandria with a grim countenance. “How dare you laugh at me!”
“What’s wrong with that? Am I bothering you?” retorted Xandria as she arched a brow.
Christopher ignored them, pulled out a chair, and urged Yuliana to sit down. He then briefly introduced the rest of
the group to Yuliana.
Some of the group were Christopher’s classmates from high school, while some were Christopher’s classmates
from university. Only Raymond and Leonard grew up together with Christopher.
“Ms. Livingstone!” A male voice rang out abruptly.
That was Craig Newton, sitting next to Leonard. He was one of Christopher’s classmates from university.
Yuliana had no impression of that man. !
