Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 301

Jeremy smiled and said, “I’m here for an interview. I’m going to find a part-time job.”

Annabelle asked, “Are you short of money?”

She looked at Jeremy’s clothes. Although they were all sports and leisure styles, they were all mid-to-high-end

brands. In theory, he should not be short of

money.

Jeremy shook his head and said embarrassedly. “It’s not that I’m short of money. A part-time job can help me adapt

to society as soon as possible. I can also increase my experience and make some money while I’m at it. Since I’m

already in my third year, there aren’t many courses to attend, anyway.”

If they were someone else, Annabelle might feel that they were somewhat pretentious. Yet, Annabelle felt Jeremy

was sincere.

She asked, “Have you had your meal yet?”

Jeremy shook his head and said, “Have you had your meal yet? If you haven’t, I’ll treat you to a meal. Is that fine?”

Annabelle chuckled. “Sure!”

Another week had passed. Christopher hadn’t returned to the Solace residence this week, and Yuliana hadn’t

contacted him as well.

They had seen each other several times in the hospital. But even if they met, they didn’t interact with each other.

Winnie’s condition was already terrible. At first, she was awake for a few minutes every day. But later, even with her

eyes open, she was still in a daze. She didn’t know anything and couldn’t eat anything every day. She lived by

getting nutrients through IV drips.

After a few days, she was already skinny and had only a layer of skin left.

Layla rushed back from Romdale and put all her work away temporarily. Layla stayed with Winnie every day in the

hospital. Even if there was something important to deal with, Layla would either settle it online or leave it to

someone she trusted.

Yuliana still went to the hospital every day, but she hadn’t stayed for a long time.

Layla noticed that there was something wrong between Christopher and Yuliana, but Layla’s mind was too occupied

to ask about it. Layla already felt terrible when she saw Winnie lying on the bed every day and being in an

unconscious state.

Later, Layla even felt that it was better for Winnie to suffer less without hesitation rather than barely surviving in

such an undignified state.

After barely holding on for half a month in the hospital, Winnie still passed away. Just a few minutes after Winnie’s

death, a phone call came from the Solace residence, saying that Zachary had also passed away. The time in

between their passing was only two minutes apart from each other. It was as if they had made an arrangement to

do so.

When Layla heard the news, she couldn’t help but cry in public, even if she was a strong woman who was incredible

in the workplace.

Meanwhile, Christopher was quiet and said nothing at all.

Yuliana’s heart was empty. Suddenly, the two elders passed away together. She was still in a trance, but suddenly

she remembered a saying.

When one’s parents were still alive, one would still have a place to call home. However, when one’s parents passed

away, one would lose the place they call home.

Although Zachary and Winnie were not high-profile people, they were still the head and the matriarch of the Solace

family. Their successive deaths made a sensation in the circle. In addition to the family, there were also many

friends in the circle who gave their condolences to them.

Winnie said before she died that she wanted to be buried with Zachary after death. As Winnie and Zachary’s

children, they naturally respected Winnie’s last wish and buried the ashes of Winnie and Zachary together.

It was already the end of September when the funeral was over, and Juxshire was getting a little cold.

The huge Solace residence was becoming quieter.

Christopher had been living in the Solace residence throughout these few days. However, he had only been

sleeping in the guest room.

He didn’t go out today.

When he was having breakfast, Yuliana noticed he looked bad and had been coughing a little.

Yuliana took Rowan for a walk in the yard.

It was a bit cold, so Hailey brought a coat for Rowan.

Yuliana put the coat on Rowan. Then she looked up in a certain direction and asked, “Hailey, is Christopher in the

study room?”

Hailey nodded, “Yes. Just now, I went upstairs to bring Mr. Christopher Solace coffee. I saw him coughing nonstop.

He didn’t have a good rest because he was handling the funerals of Mr. Zachary Solace and Mrs. Solace recently.

Besides, the temperature has dropped these days. He must be sick. Yuliana, you should get some medicine for Mr.

Christopher Solace.”

Hailey stared at Yuliana while saying the last sentence.

It wasn’t a secret in the Solace residence that Yuliana and Christopher were sleeping in separate rooms.

Naturally, Hailey knew something was wrong with the couple. But she thought it was merely a quarrel between the

couple and was not a big deal. So she asked Yuliana to send medicine to Christopher to ease their relationship.

Rowan was not used to putting on the coat. He struggled in Yuliana’s arms and grabbed her hair with his hand.

Yuliana felt a little pain when her hair was pulled. She lowered her eyes and smiled gently at Rowan. She pulled her

hair out of his hand and said, “You can’t pull my hair because it will hurt. Okay?”

Rowan seemed to know what Yuliana was talking about. He tried to pull Yuliana’s hair again as if he was trying to go

against her.

“What a bad boy.” Yuliana scolded Rowan dotingly, but she only smiled and didn’t continue to stop his action. She

lowered her eyes and smiled gently. After a while, she replied faintly, “Okay.”

Hailey was stunned for a moment before she realized Yuliana was replying to her.

Yuliana played in the yard with Rowan for half an hour before she handed Rowan to Hailey. Then, Yuliana went to

get some cough medicine and brought a glass of water upstairs.

At the door of the study room, she didn’t go in immediately and knocked on the door first.

After hearing the man coughing inside and answering her knocks in a deep voice, she opened the door and went in.

Christopher’s eyes were fixed on the computer, and he did not look at the door.

Yuliana walked up to him and put the medicine and water in front of him. Then he glanced sideways and looked up

at Yuliana.

Yuliana looked at him and said, “Hailey said you were coughing. I brought some medicine.”

Looking at each other for two seconds, Christopher took the medicine and swallowed it. Then he took a sip of

water.

After taking the medicine, Christopher continued to stare at the computer screen and tapped on the keyboard with

his fingers quickly from time to time.

After a while, seeing that Yuliana was still standing there, he stopped and looked at her again. “Is there anything

else?”

Yuliana lowered her eyes and smiled, then said, “I’ve considered everything you said last time. I agree to divorce.”

Hearing this, Christopher’s hand on the mouse tightened subconsciously, and he looked stunned for a moment. But

soon, he became relaxed again. “Okay.”

After saying that, he looked out of the window and was silent for a while. Then, he continued, “I’m a little busy these

days. Let the lawyer prepare the divorce agreement for you first. After I’m done with work these days, we’ll find

some time to go to the City Hall to handle the formalities.”

Yuliana agreed and replied, “I’m planning to take Roe and leave the Solace residence tomorrow.”

The muscles on Christopher’s cheek twitched twice. He leaned back against the back of the chair. “Oceanview

Apartment is under my name. According to the prenuptial agreement, I’ll leave the marriage with nothing. That

house deserves to belong to you. You should bring Roe along and stay there.”
