Chapter 71 Attractive And Charming
Although Yuliana felt that Larry was a bit two-faced, she never anticipated that he would take advantage of her. Hence, the current situation was completely unexpected for her. In a brief moment of chaos, Larry pinned her against the wall and removed his hand that covered her mouth.
When Yuliana was about to speak, Larry kissed her forcefully. He acted aggressively, like a monster out of his mind.
“Yuliana, I really like you,” Larry confessed in a hurry as he kissed Yuliana forcefully.
Only God knew how long he had fantasized about it.
Yuliana frowned. Maybe it was because Larry had eaten a dish with a strong flavor at a local cuisine restaurant earlier. At that moment, Yuliana only felt his mouth was full of that taste, making her sick.
She avoided Larry’s kiss and pushed at him hard, but he hugged her tighter.
Yuliana did not want to provoke Larry in that circumstance, but the smell made her feel sick, so she stopped resisting for a while and even tried to cooperate for a few seconds. As soon as Larry let his guard down, Yuliana opened her mouth and bit him hard. While Larry was in pain, Yuliana quickly struggled to free one of her hands and slapped Larry’s face.
The slap made Larry regain his senses.
He was so enraged by Yuliana’s earlier refusal that he almost made a huge mistake.
Larry’s expression quickly changed to guilt and regret as soon as he realized what he had done. “Yuliana, I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to do this. I was a little jealous and did something foolish as a result. You can hit me again!”
Just as he was about to grab Yuliana’s hand to hit him, Yuliana immediately hid her hand behind her back to avoid being touched by him.
Looking at his regretful and apologetic face, Yuliana did not feel moved at all. She gave him a cold look, but her face was remarkably calm. “Get out of here right away. I don’t want to see you.”
Larry observed the expression on her face and was a little worried. He paused for a while and said. aggrievedly, “Yuliana, although my family isn’t as wealthy as Christopher’s, I’m not inferior to him in other aspects. Why are you willing to be with him but not with me? I’ve always liked you since high school. I’ve been sincere with you all along, but what about Christopher? He’s just toying with you. He’s going to marry Annabelle soon.” As he spoke, he noticed Yuliana’s indifference and felt frustrated. “Anyhow, I’ve offended you today. You may punish me in any way you see fit. I have only one request. Could you please not tell Xani about this, Yuliana? I don’t have a lot of friends. I don’t want this to cause a rift between her and me.”
Larry was well aware of Xandria’s temper. Xandria would not let him go easily if she knew he had taken advantage of Yuliana. Furthermore, due to his good relationship with Xandria, the Holmes family now had many business collaborations with the Yeager family. He could not allow that to impact his family’s business.
Yuliana thought she was about to throw up as she watched his mouth open and close. She turned around and was about to walk into the room because she did not want to speak to him any longer.
The homestay’s door was suddenly pushed open from the outside at that moment. Yuliana stopped in her tracks, turned around with Larry, and saw Christopher standing at the entrance.
Christopher stared at Yuliana and Larry for a while before walking in slowly with his long legs and finally looking at Yuliana’s swollen lips coldly. His face became increasingly gloomy.
When Larry saw Christopher standing at the door, his pupils constricted subconsciously. Ever since he was beaten up by the latter on Xandria’s birthday, he had been afraid of Christopher. Larry felt even guiltier, especially after what he had done to Yuliana earlier. He stood at the side and did not even dare to breathe. Yuliana was taken aback by Christopher’s sudden appearance. Looking at his solemn expression, she did not take the initiative to speak and could only inwardly guess why he had come.
Christopher stared at Yuliana’s red and swollen lips for a long time. He could not help but recall the scene from earlier when he pushed the door open. After a while, he smiled leisurely and piped up. “Yuliana, I suddenly remember something about our agreement. I need to speak with you again.”
Yuliana frowned instinctively upon hearing that.
Looking at Yuliana’s reaction, Christopher smiled and remarked, “I’ll give you two minutes to settle this situation. I’ll be outside waiting for you.”
With that said, Christopher turned around and walked out of the yard of the homestay before Yuliana could speak NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Yuliana stood silently for a moment before walking toward the homestay’s entrance.
Larry knew that she was going to meet Christopher and could no longer suppress the anger and jealousy in his heart. The next moment, he stepped forward to stand before Yuliana and choked out, “Yuliana!”
However, Yuliana only looked at him impassively.
Larry looked at her and hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, he stepped aside and watched as Yuliana went to find Christopher.
“Christopher is just a loser. He’s nothing without the Solace family. Why does Yuliana prefer to be his mistress over being with me?” Larry wondered.
Larry grew increasingly enraged as he thought of that. He wished he could trample on Christopher and show Yuliana that the man she had chosen was just trash.
Soon, Yuliana came out of the homestay. Christopher was standing in the corner of an alley. He raised his head and let out a smoke ring into the night sky. The flame of the cigarette, which he was holding between his thumb and index finger, was blinking.
Yuliana paused for a moment before walking toward Christopher.
Christopher turned his head to look at Yuliana after hearing her footsteps. He gave her a long, hard look with. his narrowed eyes. His gaze contained some scrutiny as well as other feelings.
Yuliana was a little flustered because she could not figure it out.
She curled her fingers uneasily and asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Nevertheless, Christopher continued to look at her with that kind of gaze and did not answer her question. Moments later, he averted his gaze and took a long drag on the cigarette in his hand. The cigarette’s light instantly illuminated his face.
Yuliana looked at the scene and became slightly dazed for a moment..
Actually, she loathed the smell of cigarettes and was utterly disgusted by smokers. Harry smoked, too, but he hardly ever did it in her presence. Moreover, Harry was not addicted to cigarettes, so he smoked more only in social settings.
Among the people she had met, Christopher was considered a heavy smoker.
If she ignored her personal emotions, Christopher actually looked quite attractive and charming from an aesthetic standpoint when he was smoking
