Chapter 64 Just My Type
Yuliana was stunned hearing Xandria mention Raymond. Since she accompanied Xandria and Raymond on a blind date a few weeks ago, she did not hear anything from Xandria anymore. She thought they had not contacted each other for a long time. Little did she expect them to add each other on WhatsApp.
“You’re still in contact with Raymond?” Yuliana asked.
Xandria opened the chat box with Raymond to scold him back. At the same time, she said, “Raymond and I agreed to play a fake couple last time, remember? Now mine and his family thought that we were really dating!”
The fact was that they had not seen each other since the last time they met. They merely contacted each other twice by phone, and that was to deal with their families. Thus, they added each other on WhatsApp for convenience.
If Xandria had known about this, she would have blocked Raymond from her stories.
Seeing Xandria making an angry face as she sent voice messages on her phone, Yuliana did not say anything. She did not want to disturb her..
Meanwhile, Raymond, who was drinking with a beautiful woman, did not even bother to click on the voice messages that Xandria sent. Instead, he clicked on Xandria’s photos and studied them for a while.
The beauty next to him glanced at his phone screen and joked with sourness, “Now, who’s this lover, Raymond?”
Raymond did not respond. Perhaps he did not hear her, or he did not want to talk to her. The beauty subconsciously felt that he did not want to talk to her.
Therefore, her tone became sourer. “Anyways, your taste has become worse, Raymond. It’s so obvious that this woman went through plastic surgery. Her chin is so sharp that it could cut someone. She must’ve done contouring surgery. And same goes for her nose. Her nose bridge is abnormally high. She must’ve gotten a lot of hyaluronic injections on her face too. Her face is like a bun.”
After the beauty’s long comment, Raymond finally glanced at her. With a cold voice, he said, “So what? She’s just my type.”
The expression on the beautiful woman’s face stiffened. She snorted coldly, turned around, and left. Raymond withdrew his gaze. He turned his phone on with his finger as he contemplated. He clicked on the WhatsApp dialog box and sent a voice message, “Where are you?”
After a few seconds, Xandria replied, “Why?”
Raymond said, “My mom wants you to have dinner at our place tomorrow.”
Xandria said, “No, I can’t. I’m not in Juxshire.”
Raymond sent another voice message, “Then where are you? You can’t make it?”
Xandria said, “I’m in the surrounding ancient town. I won’t be in Juxshire these two days. You better arrange dinner after a few days.”
The two had agreed that they had to cooperate with each other when necessary. Hence, Xandria naturally would not refuse if Raymond said that his mother wanted the former to have dinner at their place. However, Xandria was not in Juxshire now, so the blame was not on her.
After getting the information he needed, Raymond smiled. He sent another voice message, “Okay, then let’s decide again later.”
After replying, Raymond looked up some information about the ancient town around Juxshire on the Internet. He then put away his mobile phone and went to the poker table. After glancing at Christopher, who was crossing his legs as he fumbled with the poker card, Raymond spoke up. “It’s rare to have a few days off. Why don’t we find a place to play for two days since we have time?”
Leonard glanced at him and was about to say, “What’s the point of going out and getting stuck in the crowd during Independence Day?” However, he immediately changed his response when he received a signal from Raymond “Where do you want to go?”
Christopher lifted his eyes and threw a glance at the two of them who were playing along with each other. He did not chime in. Instead, he threw the poker card out.
Raymond said, “I heard that there’s an ancient town near Juxshire with good scenery. I checked it online just now. This ancient town is quite original as it hasn’t been developed much. There are not many tourists, so we can go there for a vacation.”
Leonard raised his eyebrows. “That’s not bad. It’s not easy to find a place with lesser people these days.”
The others agreed as well, except for Christopher.
Raymond kicked the leg of Christopher’s chair. “What about you, Chris?”
Christopher glanced at him. “Juxshire has so many places for you to travel, but you just have to go to some shabby ancient town. What’s wrong with you?”
Raymond coughed lightly. When he was about to find a suitable excuse to fool Christopher, he heard a voice. “What ancient town?”
Everyone at the poker table turned around and saw Annabelle. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The expression on Raymond’s face stiffened as he smiled, “It’s just an ancient town around Juxshire.” Annabelle said, “What a coincidence. I’m looking for a place to sketch these two days. Why don’t we check out this ancient town?”
It was raining at night.
October was already here. Besides, the ancient town was some distance away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The temperature dropped a lot on a rainy night, and it was extremely quiet.
Yuliana stood in front of the window and stared at the yard for a while. She had the illusion that she was in a staggered time and space.
Xandria came out after taking a shower. Seeing Yuliana standing in front of the window in pajamas, she could not help but remind the latter, “Aren’t you cold, Yuliana?”
Yuliana came back to her senses and felt a little cold in her hands and feet. She closed the window and came in. “A little bit. It seems that the ancient town is much colder than Juxshire.”
Xandria took out several bottles and wiped her face. “Of course. This place is 180 to 250 miles away from Juxshire. There’s no big city nearby, and the altitude is higher than that of Juxshire. You’re pregnant, be careful not to catch a cold.”
Yuliana nodded. “Got it.”
She was quite confident in her physical fitness. However, she did not expect a sore throat and blocked nose when she woke up the next morning. Fortunately, it was not very serious. She felt better after drinking a large glass of warm water.
In the past, as long as Yuliana drank more warm water, she could recover with her immunity. She would not need to take medicine.
Although it was not a big problem, she was still not relieved. She stayed in the homestay in the morning and did not go out. Finally, she went out with Xandria after the sun came out in the afternoon.
The ancient town was not big. One could finish touring in an hour. However, Xandria was enthusiastic about. taking photos. She would take pictures wherever they went. They took two hours to finish walking around.
It was only three or four o’clock in the afternoon after the walk. The sky here was blue, and the sunlight was great. They found a café and sat down to rest.
Xandria was still busy editing the photos she had taken while Yuliana replied to her WhatsApp messages.
She had a group chat with parents who would ask about the students every day. Therefore, she would open WhatsApp from time to time and reply in the group chat if necessary.
She put her phone away as soon as she replied to the messages. Then, she looked up into the distance to see a group of people coming over. Her gaze instinctively paused as she saw a familiar blonde hair under the
sun.
“What a coincidence, Ms. Livingstone! You’re here for a vacation too?”
