Chapter 400
Chapter 400 Big Enough For Us
Yuliana said calmly, “Christopher, what am I to you? Do you think I should be grateful that you say you have regretted it? Is it
because I still like you? Is that what you think?” She spoke softly, with a slight mocking in
her tone.
Christopher frowned and denied, “I never thought of it that way.”
Yuliana withdrew her gaze, adjusted her posture, and looked at the computer screen again. “I don’t care what you think. After we
leave here, we will be the same as before now that we’re going our separate ways. We have had nothing to do with each other
since a long time ago Our only intersection is Roe. I don’t want Roe to lose his father’s love completely, so don’t ever say these
things again. It will bother me.”
After finishing her words, Yuliana immersed herself in her work.
Christopher didn’t say anything more but looked out of the window.
There was only silence in the room and the sound of the mouse and keyboard.
After finishing checking the email, Yuliana called James and Craig, one after the other, to communicate with them about work
and explained the situation where she would return to Juxshire two or three days later.
It was Sunday the day after and there was no work arrangement. However, there was a lot of work on Monday and Tuesday, so
they had to make another arrangement.
Maybe Craig finally felt guilty, and he took over all the work he could. They could only wait for Yuliana’s return to settle the rest of
the work he couldn’t take.
Yuliana didn’t like her plan to be interrupted. It annoyed her a lot.
When she was on the phone with Craig, there was a knock on the door.
They both turned and stared at the door at the same time. Yuliana thought it was Blake returning from buying the dinner. She
hung up the phone after giving a brief explanation to Craig and went to open the door.
However, as soon as the door opened, Yuliana was stunned.
“Y-You have finished your work?” Yuliana froze for two seconds before asking in surprise.
Wesley smiled and hummed, “I have finished my part of the work.” He paused momentarily, looked behind Yuliana, and asked,
“Is he awake?”
Wesley was asking about Christopher.
Christopher was sitting on the bed, his back against a pillow and his head against the wall. His injured part was suspended in the
air. He tilted his head and looked in the direction of the door.
In fact, there was a porch at the entrance. One could only see the room after walking two steps forward.
Therefore, Christopher couldn’t see what had happened at the door.
However, he could hear their voice.
He also knew who the one showing up was from the voice.
Soon, he also realized who helped to deal with the gunshot wound on his shoulder.
He sneered, and his face turned into an indifferent expression. He didn’t do anything but play with his phone casually
Yuliana nodded and glanced into the room. She then turned sideways and said, “Come in.”
Actually, she was a little worried to let Wesley and Christopher face each other.
She knew clearly about Christopher’s temper. He used to be bad-tempered before. Although he was calmer and more reserved
at the time, it was impossible for him to change his personality completely after three years in prison.
She didn’t want any head-on conflict between them at the time.
However, the situation was totally unlike what Yuliana had expected. After Christopher saw Wesley, he didn’t say a word and
only showed a cold expression. He sat on the bed and played with his phone.
Wesley bought some dinner. He bought Christopher a bowl of oatmeal and also some other dishes.
Wesley took the oatmeal to the bedside and asked, “Do you need me to feed you?”
Christopher glanced at him coldly and took the oatmeal with one hand.
Wesley didn’t say anything. He walked to the round table before serving several other dishes and two plates of pasta on the
table.
Yuliana packed up the computer, sat down, took the fork from Wesley, and habitually said, “Thank you.” After saying that, she
suddenly realized something and looked at Wesley guiltily as if she had done something wrong.
Wesley was amused by her appearance and said pleasantly, “I’ll let you slip this time, but there will be no next
time.”
Yuliana smiled and replied, “You’re so strict.”
Wesley served a piece of grilled lamb chop for Yuliana and smiled. “If I’m not strict enough, you won’t remember it.”
Yuliana wrinkled her nose and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Christopher had a bowl of pasta the night before, and it had been nearly 24 hours. He should have been hungry, but he had no
appetite after two sips of the oatmeal.
The other two people in the room were chatting happily while eating.
Even though their voices were very low, the room was small enough that their conversation could still be heard clearly.
It was noisy and irritating.
Christopher put the oatmeal on the bedside table next to him. He didn’t control his strength, and it made a muffled sound. The
two people who were eating turned to look at him, and Christopher stared into Yuliana’s eyes with cold eyes.
Yuliana glanced at the oatmeal that was barely eaten. She pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze, and continued to eat her food.
Wesley withdrew his gaze as well.
However, they didn’t speak much after that.
After eating. Wesley packed the empty bowls and put away the trash. Then, he went downstairs and booked another room on
the same floor as Yuliana’s but several rooms apart.
Wesley gave Yuliana the keycard and said, “I’ve requested another room. You can go there to rest tonight.” Yuliana took the
keycard, looked at Wesley, and asked, “How about you?”
Wesley glanced at Christopher and said, “I know you’re worried about him. I’ll be here tonight.”
After a pause, he looked at Yuliana’s reddened eyes and the dark circle around them. He guessed that she hadn’t rested well
since the night before. Feeling sorry, he said, “Go there now. Wash up and rest early.” Yuliana was indeed sleepy. Her mind was
blurred, and her eyes were sore. “But if I were to let Wesley stay and take care of Christopher...” she wondered.
Wesley noticed her concern. “Don’t worry. It’s okay.”
Hearing that, Yuliana thought for a while and nodded.
However, Christopher, who had been silent the whole time, spoke. “I don’t want him here.”
He stared at Yuliana with an overwhelming gaze, and a trace of anger could be seen in his cold expression. It was clear that he
was full of rage.
Yuliana glanced at him and said, “You’re right. He has no obligation to take care of you here, nor do I. I think you’re in good
spirits and won’t need anyone to take care of you. In this case, you can stay here and recover from your injuries.”
After that, she quickly packed everything and said to Wesley, “Let’s go.”
Wesley took over the stuff from Yuliana, held her hand, and left.
Christopher heard the door closing, and his chest kept heaving, which hurt the wound on his right shoulder.
The room Wesley requested was also on the same floor, but it was Room 416, a few rooms away from Yuliana’s previous room.
Wesley opened the door, put Yuliana’s luggage into the room, and said, “I’ll go and request one more room.”
Yuliana was stunned and hurriedly tugged at his hand. “Don’t bother.”
Her eyes met Wesley’s, and she could clearly see the changing expression in his eyes.
The tips of Yuliana’s ears were a little red, and she said stiffly, “You don’t have to waste the money. This room is quite big, big
enough for both of us.”
Wesley chuckled. “Is it just because of money?”
