Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 300

Christopher lowered his eyelids and looked at her blankly. A touch of impatience flashed through his eyes, but it

disappeared in an instant.

His thin lips moved, and his voice was cold, “Do you want to leave?”

Annabelle frowned and stared at his face for a while, trying to see some clues from his expression.

If it weren’t for her disbelief in ghosts and gods, for a moment, she would have almost doubted that someone else

was in the body of the man in front of her.

She calmed down and let go of Christopher’s hand, but her eyes didn’t move from his face. She tried to ask, “Did

you say that on purpose?”

Christopher looked in another direction, but there was still no expression on his face. He didn’t answer her question.

Although he didn’t answer, Annabelle already had an answer in her mind.

Ever since he married Yuliana, he had been trying to avoid Annabelle. If there was nothing else important,

Christopher would hardly contact Annabelle.

Hence, there was no way he would say those words in front of Yuliana.

Christopher still didn’t answer Annabelle. After a moment of silence, he strode in the direction of the parking lot.

Annabelle stood there for a while before she hurriedly followed him.

After getting in the car, Annabelle fastened her seat belt. She glanced at the expression on Christopher’s face again

and pondered for a few seconds before she gloated. She tried to ask, “Did you quarrel with Yuliana?”

Christopher started the car and ignored her.

Annabelle was a little angry earlier when Christopher used her. However, considering the reason behind it, she

stopped being angry and was even a little happy.

She didn’t mind if Christopher was ignoring her. While answering the message with her phone, she said to

Christopher cheerfully, “I thought you two had a good relationship. It turned out that you two would still quarrel. Tell

me. What’s going on?”

After replying to the message on her phone, Annabelle looked at Christopher curiously.

Christopher side-eyed her and said sarcastically, “Annabelle, I didn’t know were so gossipy.”

you

Annabelle raised her eyebrows and propped her hand against her cheeks while

looking ahead. She sighed. “I wasn’t very gossipy originally. But considering our relationship, I’m just caring about

you.”

Christopher sneered, apparently not believing what Annabelle had just said.

Seeing that Christopher was still not going to talk to her, Annabelle didn’t continue this question.

After two minutes of silence, she turned around and stared at Christopher for a while.

It wasn’t her illusion. Christopher was indeed different from before.

In the past, Christopher’s emotions were easy to sense. Yet, now he was like a deep well that one couldn’t see the

bottom of it. She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking at all.

But she could understand it somehow.

So many things had happened in the Solace family recently. There were things happening to Zachary, Winnie, and

Kendrick simultaneously. Annabelle could also guess Solace Corporation’s situation. She was afraid that

Christopher’s two uncles were not easy to deal with. It was not that easy for Christopher to be in his position as well.

Besides, there were many unpleasant rumors circulating outside. It was said that Kendrick’s accident was schemed

by Christopher just to compete for the family business.

One would surely grow up in the face of major changes, and Christopher was no exception.

After passing the intersection ahead, Annabelle was suddenly stunned, and she said abruptly, “Stop the car.”

Christopher glanced at her and followed her gaze. Then, he saw a young man in a white T-shirt and sweatpants

standing on the roadside, with a waist bag on his body and a phone in his hand. He seemed to be sending a

message with the phone in his hand.

Then Annabelle’s phone rang. She took out her phone and glanced at it with a mischievous smile.

She didn’t reply after reading the message. She seemed to have noticed something and looked up at Christopher.

Looking into Christopher’s eyes, she pursed her lower lips and didn’t think of explaining the situation at all. She

merely said, “Anyway, you’re just using me. I don’t need you to send me back home. Just stop here.”

Christopher stopped the car on the side of the road and stared at the young man again before asking, “Who is he?”

“Does it have anything to do with you?” Annabelle unfastened her seat belt and didn’t plan to answer Christopher’s

question. But when she thought of something else, she frowned and said, “If anything happens to Aunt Winnie,

please let me know.”

She had two mothers. One was her biological mother, and one was her stepmother. However, she didn’t get

maternal love from both mothers. Instead, she got resentment. But Winnie, who had nothing to do with Annabelle

originally, made the latter feel that kind of mother’s love.

Winnie was kind to Annabelle at first just because the latter was the daughter of Christopher’s savior. Also, Winnie

was only feeling pity for Annabelle because of what happened to the latter. But even so, Annabelle still appreciated

Winnie.

Christopher responded faintly, “Okay.”

Annabelle said nothing else. She pushed open the door and got out of the car, then went straight to the young man.

Seeing her appear suddenly, the young man showed a smile of joy on his face.

Christopher watched for two seconds and drove away.

Annabelle didn’t expect to meet Jeremy Yates here coincidentally.

“Why are you here?” Jeremy was obviously more surprised than Annabelle. After asking, he subconsciously glanced

at the car that she got off from. It was a gray sports car, which he knew cost at least seven digits.

Also, from the window, he could also see the blurred figure in the car. Obviously, it was a man.

Annabelle said, “There is an elder in the hospital. I’m here to visit them.”

Jeremy immediately asked with concern, “What’s the problem? Is it serious?”

are

Annabelle looked at the nervous expression on his face and didn’t answer his question. She asked, “What about

you? Why you here? Didn’t you start school already? Don’t you have classes today?”

Jeremy was in his third year of university. He had just been 20 years old for a few

months.

Some time ago, she went back to her alma mater and asked her teacher to deal with something, and that was

when she met Jeremy. Jeremy was also that teacher’s student, so he could be considered her junior in the same

class.

At that time, Annabelle made an appointment with the teacher. But when she arrived at the school, the teacher had

already left the school as the teacher had something else to deal with. She only handed over the things the teacher

needed to Jeremy before leaving and asked Jeremy to hand them over to the teacher.

When Annabelle saw Jeremy for the first time, Annabelle felt he was quite good-looking and teased him, as she had

nothing else to do. She didn’t expect

there would be such a pure and innocent man nowadays. His face turned red after a few words she said to tease

him, which made her a little embarrassed.

That day, Jeremy took her to have a meal outside her alma mater. After that, they added each other on WhatsApp.

Although Annabelle liked to play around, she also knew how to maintain

boundaries. She knew Jeremy was different from many men, so she didn’t plan to mess with him too much. She

didn’t talk to Jeremy after adding him on WhatsApp.

However, Jeremy sent a message to her asking about some professional knowledge in their major. It was

impossible for Annabelle not to see through the young man’s intention.

Maybe she was too bored, or maybe she wanted to leap out of her old life circle and start a new life. She even

chatted with Jeremy occasionally, and this feeling seemed to be not too bad.

A man in his twenties, who hadn’t entered society yet, had a very simple mind. When he liked someone very much,

he was full of enthusiasm and

wholeheartedness, with no utilitarian benefits.
