Chapter 92


    Chapter 92 You Are Its Uncle


    “That kind of woman?”


    Christopher’s voice was soft and gentle. Those who didn’t know him would never have detected the


    change in his emotions.


    However, the people in that room were also the ones closest to him. Naturally, they were very familiar


    with Christopher’s temperament.


    Christopher seldom cared about anything. He was also the type to fool around all the time and always


    seemed nonchnt about everything in life.


    This time, he gazed at his mother quietly with his dull gray eyes. The look on his face seemed


    extraordinarily serious.


    If someone else other than Winnie were to say those things in Christopher’s face, he wouldn’t have


    continued sitting there calmly by now.


    Winnie was momentarily stunned upon seeing his gaze.


    Even though Christopher had been a mischievous kid since childhood and acted out rebelliously many


    times, he remained respectful to her. Never did he use this tone to talk to her at all.


    But now, he questioned and talked back to her for the sake of a woman.


    This thought made Winnie’s heart surge with sorrow, making her eyes redden immediately.


    Having noticed this, La quickly shot a look at her father, Zachary.


    Zachary patted his wife on the back of her hand while coaxing. “Christopher isn’t a kid anymore. He


    has his own principles when ites to certain matters. We shouldn’t worry too much about him.


    Besides, isn’t Ken the patriarch of the family now?”


    Winnie red at Zachary while huffing coldly. She turned her face aside as she grabbed her


    handkerchief before turning away from everyone to dab her eyes.


    She understood what Zachary said but couldn’t help but feel sad on the inside.


    Winnie then remembered the idiom of how a mother could no longer influence her children once they


    were all grown up.


    Sure enough, no matter how close Christopher was to her, he wouldn’t prioritize her anymore once he


    had a wife.


    For a moment, no one spoke up at all. They cast their gazes on Kendrick instead as they waited for him


    to


    decide.


    “Come with me.” Suddenly, Kendrick got up and shot a nce in Christopher’s direction. Then, he


    turned on his heel and headed upstairs.


    Christopher sat there without the intention to move. He watched Kendrick walking up the stairs quietly.


    No one could tell what he was thinking about.


    A momentter, he finally got up to his feet and went upstairs at a leisurely pace.


    When Christopher opened the door and entered the study, he saw Kendrick standing in front of a floor-


    to-ceiling window with his back facing him. Smoke shrouded his figure, trailing all the way from the lit


    cigarette that was pinched between his fingers.


    Kendrick had always been a disciplined man. He kept himself in check even when it came to smoking


    and drinking.


    It was rare for Christopher to see Kendrick smoking on asions other than social events.


    He closed the door of the study as he entered. He then approached the desk to grab the pack of


    cigarettes and withdrew a cigarette stick to light it up before joining his brother at the window.


    Kendrick spotted Christopher’s smoking posture in the corner of his eye, noting his familianty with the


    action. He remarked coldly, “Christopher, I’ve been very tolerant of you these years, haven’t I?”


    Christopher didn’t answer. Instead, he took two puffs from his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.


    Then, he looked down at the burning stick in his hand, choosing to provide a different answer. “This


    cigarette’s pretty


    decent.”


    Kendrick nced at him for a moment before looking out the window. A moment of silence ensued


    afterward. “Christopher, have you ever considered carefully the future challenges you’ll be facing if you


    do end up marrying her?”


    Naturally, he was referring to Yuliana.


    Christopher’s brows were tangled together in a slight frown. His brows soon rxed as he flicked the


    ash from his cigarette twice. “I never thought about it.”


    It was true that he hadn’t thought about it. Then again, he didn’t have time to do so.


    If it wasn’t for Kendrick saying such things in the living room earlier, Christopher might not have


    decided to marry Yuliana.


    Would she agree to it?


    Even if she did, it would be for the baby’s sake, right?


    The corners of his mouth were lifted sarcastically.

    Having heard Christopher’s answer, Kendrick nced at him, and his gaze became stern. He then


    snuffed his cigarette out in the ashtray before saying, “Why would you want to marry her if you never


    even considered this matter? Christopher, is marriage nothing but a game of make-believe to you?


    Haven’t you humiliated the Sce family enough?”


    After that, Kendrick pointed at Christopher with the hand still holding the cigarette, with a cold


    expression on his face. “I’ll deal with Yuliana and the baby in her womb. I’ll definitely break your legs if


    you dare to interfere with me!”


    Christopher’s gaze snapped toward Kendrick immediately after hearing this. “Kendrick, don’t you dare


    assume that I’m afraid of you just because you’re my older brother. Try toy a finger on her. I dare


    you!”


    Kendrick just smiled. “Sure. Let’s try it out!”


    Christopher red at Kendrick coldly for a moment before he put out the cigarette in the ashtray


    forcefully. Then, he strode out of the study with his long legs.


    After hearing the sound of the study’s door being closed, Kendrick took another drag out of his


    cigarette. Then, he turned his gaze to the scenery outside the window.


    When he was done smoking that cigarette, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside


    once again.


    La was the one entering the study.


    “Hey, Ken.”


    The smell of cigarette smoke and ash in the study made La frown. She walked over to the window


    and opened it immediately to allow air cirction within the room. “Didn’t Joyce forbid you from


    smoking?” she reminded.


    Kendrick shot her a look before replying lightly, “It’s just one cigarette.”


    La walked over to an armchair and sat down. “Did the talk with Christopher go badly?”


    Kendrick approached her and replied with a question, “Did you meet Ms. Livingstone earlier this


    evening?”


    La nodded. “Yeah.”


    “How was it?”


    La stated honestly, “Let’s not dwell on the fact that she’s Damian Livingstone’s daughter. She used


    to be married in the past. In my opinion, she’s a better match for Christopher aspared to


    Annabelle. She’s also a suitable choice as a daughter-inw of the Sce family.”


    Kendrick met La’s eyes. “However, these two factors are also the ones that determined her fate. It’s


    impossible for her to marry into the Sce family.”


    La was stunned. “Ken…”


    Kendrick lifted a hand to prevent La from finishing her sentence. “Make an appointment with her for


    me. I’d like to meet her.”


    La’s expression darkened immediately.


    She initially thought that Kendrick refused to keep the baby to force Christopher to speak up about it.


    Now


    that she heard his words, she realized that he didn’t want the baby to be born at all.


    Then again, this was a matter that concerned the Sce family. Since Kendrick had made the final


    decision, there was no way La could change the oue.


    “Okay. I’ll go make the arrangements.”


    After her reply, La was about to get up and leave, but she stopped in her tracks after taking a few


    steps. She then turned around to look at Kendrick, who remained seated. With pursed lips, she


    commented, “It’s still Christopher’s baby, after all. It’s a part of the Sce family’s bloodline, which


    makes you its uncle.”


    Having said her piece, La left straight away.


    When Kendrick exited the study, he got into his car and drove away from the Sce residence.


    He called Raymond in his car and invited him for a few drinks.


    Raymond had just gotten out of a social event, so he already had more than a few drinks in his system.


    When he received the call from Christopher, he felt like vomiting the moment the word “drinks” was


    mentioned. However, he sensed that Christopher’s tone was slightly off, so he asked a cab driver to


    drive him to Prestige. Club in the end.


    By the time Raymond arrived, Christopher had already downed a bottle of whiskey. The sight of his


    friend spurred only a nce from Christopher before he poured a full ss for him.


    Raymond couldn’t help but click his tongue when he noticed Christopher’s sour mood. However, he


    chose not to say anything about it. Instead, he grabbed the ss and took a small sip from it.


    In the end, Christopher got extremely drunk. Raymond asked the staff members of Prestige Club to


    take him


    to the lounge that was located on the top floor. Both of them proceeded to spend the night there.


    The meeting with Winnie and Christopher’s sister, La, did nothing to soothe Yuliana’s nerves.


    Instead, she


    became more anxious.


    The anxiety worsened steadily over time.


    That evening, La had made it clear that the Sce family would never give up the baby’s custody.


    But in the next two days, the Sce family didn’t say anything about that matter. Even Christopher


    didn’t show up in her life. Yuliana had no idea what the Sce family was nning this time.


    On Sunday, Yuliana finally received a call from La.


    However, neither Winnie nor La was the one meeting her this time. It was Kendrick, the head of the


    Sce family.


    Like the previous meeting, the Sce family had arranged for a car to pick Yuliana up at her


    neighborhood despite her reluctance to attend the meeting. Also, she had never informed Kendrick of


    her address.
