Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 364

Chapter 364 The Arranged Marriage

If it weren’t for Raymond’s family urging him, he would have had no intention of getting married in his twenties. After all, many people would get married in their thirties and forties nowadays.

Although Raymond was envious of Christopher having his own family, the former had no intention to settle down so early.

Raymond thought, “As long as Xandria and her child are out of my sight, I’ll pretend as though her child doesn’t exist in this world. As Christopher has mentioned, the Quinn family can afford to raise the child. After the birth, I can look for a maternity matron or have the elderly at home to take care of her child.”

Therefore, he seldom went back home these days with the excuse that he was busy with his work. Besides, he avoided Xandria both intentionally and unintentionally

However, since the incident that day, Raymond felt sorry for Xandria. No matter what, Xandria was his nominal wife and had cooperated with him for a couple of years. As such, he had to give her some respect. He went back to apologize to Xandria that evening

Little did Raymond know that Xandria had been cynical with him throughout the day. He couldn’t bear with her and said something harsh to her. As a result, they quarreled. When Xandria smashed him with a pillow, she didn’t stand firmly and fell.

At that moment, he was startled. He felt inexplicable panic. It was only after he had confirmed that Xandria was fine that he no longer felt that panic.

It was only normal to feel panicked, after all.

Raymond knew well that he wouldn’t make any changes for Xandria.

Even so, there was no need to worsen everything.

At least, the two of them knew that their relationship was, after all, based on an agreement.

Christopher knew Raymond well. He understood Raymond’s train of thought. Christopher stood up and patted him on the shoulder. “Think it over. Don’t regret it.”

Christopher then left the private room.

Since that day, Yuliana had met with Raymond again and chatted with him about Xandria and his child. After confirming Raymond’s thoughts, Yuliana informed Xandria about it.

After hearing that, Xandria smiled and said, “As I’ve mentioned earlier, we are in an arranged marriage. We are just business partners. Yuliana, you don’t have to do this. I don’t like him, after all. Don’t worry. I’m fine. As for the child, I’m old enough to have one anyway. My parents have been looking forward to having a grandson. Raymond has good genes. I believe the child will look good. When the child is born, I can hook up with a handsome boy anywhere as before.”

Yuliana knew that Xandria was reluctant to admit her mistake.

Xandria had always told Yuliana that she and Raymond were just acting. Could Raymond and Xandria truly differentiate if they had just been acting for so many years?

No matter how good an actor was, they could fall in love with the play.

But Raymond had made it clear to her. It was only for the better of Xandria to give up on him.

The hot weather in Juxshire lasted for half a month. Finally, a rainstorm swept over the city one evening in early August.

Yuliana looked at the dark sky outside the window and saw the waterfall-like rain pouring down from the sky. The city fell into chaos.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.

Yuliana came back to her senses. She turned around and walked toward the desk. She took a look at the caller before picking it up.

Wesley asked, “I learned from Hailey that you’re not driving today… Is that true?”

Yuliana instantly guessed what Wesley meant and replied to him nonchalantly.

She felt slightly uncomfortable in her right ankle these days. She wondered if her injury had aggravated after Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

the last twist in Romdale. She didn’t feel so much discomfort on rainy days before.

After pausing for a moment, she asked, “Are you back?”

A few days ago, Wesley had gone to Southeast Aploth.

That was Wesley’s job’s nature. Whenever he received an order, he would run all over the world for ten and a half days or even longer.

Wesley said, “I came back yesterday. I’m almost there. Come down after you finish your work.”

“Okay.”

Yuliana waited for another few minutes before packing up and going downstairs.

When she arrived downstairs, Wesley had already parked his car on the side of the road. Before Yuliana could approach Wesley, he immediately got out of the car, walked quickly toward Yuliana in the

heavy rain, took the umbrella from her hand, and protected her while she got into the car.

Yuliana’s shoes and trousers were a little wet, but Wesley’s shirt was soaked.

She reached out for something in the storage box in the car. Then, she took out a towel and handed it to him. “It’s raining heavily. Why did you get out of the car? I have an umbrella myself.”

Wesley wiped the rainwater from his face and hair. He then put the towel on the armrest box and said casually, “I’m in good health, so it’s okay to get wet. You mustn’t catch a cold because you still have Roe at home. Children have a lower immune system.”

Yuliana pursed her lips and looked at the rain on the window. She felt a little stressed.

Wesley had been like that all these years. He had been accompanying her and Rowan in silence. When she was at Jeahron, Callie had hinted to her that Wesley was a true man. However, at that moment, she had no desire for romance. She had always thought that the reason Wesley stayed with Roe was because of Christopher.

She had never thought Wesley would be interested in her before.

After Damian died, Yuliana returned to Juxshire, and Wesley came back with her.

At that time, she seemed to realize that the way Wesley treated her was more than just friends. Even so, she had never dared to probe further into that issue.

The truth was, she was afraid to lose Wesley.

Since Wesley confessed to her, it was difficult for her to treat him the same way as before whenever she saw

him.

“What are you thinking about?” Wesley drove and cast a quick glance at Yuliana.

After getting in the car and passing him the towel, she said nothing.

That was not the case between them, especially in the past.

Although she didn’t talk much, he wouldn’t be so quiet.

Yuliana came back to her senses and said, “You don’t have to pick me up. I could have taken a taxi back.”

Wesley smiled and said, “Yuliana, don’t think so well of me. I have an ulterior motive for picking you up. Besides, I won’t let myself take this trip for nothing.”

Yuliana was stunned and didn’t understand what Wesley meant.

It was not until they had returned to Champs Manor that the rain became much lighter.

Wesley drove Yuliana to the door and called out to her, “Yuliana.”

Yuliana subconsciously turned around and looked at him. By the time she recovered her senses, she had already been pressed against the outer wall of the manor. Before she could react, Wesley held her chin and kissed her passionately.

She couldn’t help but open her eyes wide. She put her hand on Wesley’s shoulder to push him away. Wesley easily grasped her hands, twisted them behind her back, and deepened the kiss.

After that, Wesley rubbed her lips with his fingers, looking pleased with their intimate encounter, He then said in a low voice, “Yuliana, you didn’t resist me that much, did you?”

Yuliana’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up into Wesley’s deep-set eyes. She found herself to be ridiculous.

after what she had done a moment ago.

She pushed Wesley away, and he let go of her.
