Chapter 58 A Private Moment
Obviously, the man in front of her had just woken up with his blond hair in a mess. Christopher’s face was sleepy, and he was dressed casually in a T-shirt and grey sweater, staring at her.
Yuliana was used to seeing Christopher’s arrogant face. But when she saw him like this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
What made Yuliana even more uneasy was the strange atmosphere created by the inexplicable embarrassment.
For Yuliana, when she just woke up in the morning, her external image, body movements, and mental state were the most relaxed and undisguised moments. It was a relatively private moment. She had never shown it to others except for the closest people.
It made her uncomfortable and insecure.
She subconsciously stepped back and wanted to find something to cover up with. It seemed like she had put herself on guard.
Christopher’s expression changed upon seeing Yuliana’s reaction. With his nose in the air, he ordered, “Please get out of my way!”
Hearing this, Yuliana slightly pursed her lips, loosened her hand holding the doorknob, and immediately walked out of the room.
After Christopher entered the room, she went to the bathroom outside. After a simple wash, she put on her own clothes yesterday. When she came out of the bathroom, Christopher had already changed his clothes, and his hair had been cleaned up. He was standing in front of the window and smoking.
Hearing the noise behind him, Christopher turned around and took a deep breath. After opening the window, he walked to the coffee table and put the cigarette in the ashtray.
Yuliana ignored him and went to the sofa to pack her things. Suddenly, she remembered something. She grabbed her hair and asked herself, “Where is my phone?”
Christopher did not give her phone back after it was taken away by him last night. The phone already ran out of battery the night before, and she was not sure if it could still be turned on now.
While Yuliana was thinking about it, Christopher bent down, picked up her phone from the coffee table, and handed it to her.
She took it and pressed the power button. After a while, the phone screen lit up.
Seeing the phone was fully charged, Yuliana felt like she was hit with a ton of bricks.
She did not think too much about it. She went to WhatsApp and made a voice call to the math teacher, Albert Hall, who was teaching her students. Yuliana asked her to go to the classroom to help keep an eye on the students. It was almost eight o’clock now. She still had to go home and change her clothes later, so Yuliana would probably be late for school. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Thank you, Mr. Hall,” Yuliana said, thanking him with a smile.
Albert, like Ariel, who was in the same office as Yuliana, was an experienced teacher at the school. Every year, when a new teacher came in, he or she would be partnered with an experienced teacher. Yuliana had partnered with Albert when she first entered Juxshire Primary School and was now in her fourth year. Albert was not a talkative person. He was very strict with students but never interfered with Yuliana’s teaching methods. In general, their partnership had been very harmonious in the past three years. Yuliana respected Albert very much.
After negotiating with Albert, Yuliana realized something. When she tilted her head, she saw Christopher standing beside her and looking at her with her arms crassed.
Yuliana still did not give a damn about him. She thought it would be best if they did not talk at this time. Otherwise, they would be quarreling again.
When she was about to leave after packing up her things, Christopher suggested coldly, “I’ll give you a ride.” Yuliana took a breather and considered rejecting. However, she decided to keep her trap shut. Anyway, she wanted to get to school soon. Rather than rejecting that, which would make Christopher
unhappy, it would be better to save some trouble and a few dollars in taxi rides.
She did not say anything, which was considered acquiescence.
After getting in the car, Yuliana fastened her seat belt and said, “Please send me back to Maple Garden first.”
Christopher didn’t reply to that. Both of them were silent all the way. Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the apartment building where Yuliana lived.
Maple Garden had been built for some years, and the environment and management in the residential area were not good. Vehicles parked inside at will. Yuliana chose this location at the time because it was close to the school, and the rent was much lower than in other nearby neighborhoods.
Christopher did not follow her upstairs. Yuliana went home and changed her clothes. She thought Christopher should have left, but when she went downstairs with her bag, she saw the silver-gray sports car still parked there. The person in the car was smoking with the window open. He was thinking about something else seriously, not even noticing that Yuliana had already gotten down.
Yuliana hesitated for a while and then walked over.
When she approached, Christopher only fixed his gaze on her.
Yuliana asked, “I’m going to school. You’re going to follow me until when?”
Christopher looked at her for two seconds and complained lazily, “I’m hungry.”
