Chapter 98
Chapter 98 Sit Still
Yuliana couldn’t look away from Christopher. Even her heart beating faster and faster felt like it almost
jumped out of her chest.
The tension between them had reached its peak, but at this moment, someone’s phone suddenly went
off.
It was Yuliana’s phone.
Yuliana suddenly came back to her senses then. Her breath seemed to hitch when she reached to
press a hand against the man’s chest. “Let’s pause for a bit. I have to take the call. We can continue
with our talkter.”
Christopher grabbed her hand and peered at her with his lowered gaze. “We can pause, no problem,
but you have to pay the price, hmm?”
Yuliana didn’t say anything. She didn’t understand what he meant.
Seeing her confused expression, he pressed his thin lips together and teased with a smile, “I’ll let you
answer the phone if you kiss me.”
Yuliana couldn’t help staring at him when she heard this. “We haven’t struck a deal yet.”
“We can sign a ‘subject to contract’ agreement first,” said Christopher.
Yuliana started to grow angry and anxious as she listened to the continuous ringing of her phone. It felt
like Christopher was taking advantage of the situation.
But on second thought, a peck wasn’t that big of a deal, considering how they had shared a bed before.
ana sat up straight and raised her head before she pressed a chaste kiss at the corner of Christopher’s
-lips. “Are we done?” she asked.
Christopher looked at her for a while without saying a word before he withdrew his arms and sat back
languidly.
Yuliana didn’t dare look at him again after that. She then picked up her phone and looked at the caller
ID. It was from one of her student’s parents.
She was about to answer the phone when she nced at Christopher. In the end, she brought her
phone with her to a room and lightly closed the door after she went in.
She gave her students a simple quizst week, and the results came out on Monday. The parent
calling her was the parent of a student who did poorly on this quizpared to the previous one. She
could already guess the call’s purpose before answering the phone.
“Jonathan has his basics down. However, he has recently seemed more distracted in ss and has not
been proactive in answering questions as before. He only sits quietly in his seat after ss and does
not engage with his ssmates. The unsatisfactory quiz score fromst week might have something to
do with his attitude in ss,” Yuliana exined to the parent..
In fact, even if Jonathan’s mother, Mina, didn’t call her, she would have contacted her within the next
two days.
Yuliana had noticed how Jonathan wasn’t himself after Independence Day. He was in the fourth grade
now. He was more mature than kids his age, and even though he was only in his teens, he already
understood many things about life. Having too much to dwell on must have been why it was difficult for
the boy to focus. on studying.
She was worried that Jonathan would be beyond saving if she didn’t intervene in time.
Mina was quiet for a moment before she whispered, “Thank you for telling me this, Ms. Livingstone.”
“Did something happen to Jonathan?” Yuliana hesitantly asked.
Mina sighed. “His father and I have been handling divorce procedures recently. We kept it from him, but
he somehow found out.”
Yuliana didn’t know what to say to that.
It was impossible for the parents’ affairs not to affect the children.
Just like when Damian and Callie had a divorce, she, too, had a hard time thatsted for a while. She
was a few years older than Jonathan then.
Yuliana eventually suggested, “Jonathan is a sensible boy at school. As his parents, I hope you and his
father can properly discuss It with him. He may understand where you areing from. I will also take
some time tomunicate with him.”
“Alright.” Mina was grateful. “Thank you, Ms. Livingstone.”
“You’re wee. Jonathan is my student. This is my duty as his teacher,” said Yuliana.
After talking to Mina, Yuliana stood quietly for a minute.
A warm body suddenly enveloped her before a warm breath fanned the shell of her ear. “Your phone
call ended. Can we continue with our conversation?” The pink in her cheeks that had just faded came
back again. instantly.
Yuliana pulled away the palm on her waist before turning around and looking at him as sternly as she
could. “We’ll talk if you want to talk. Don’t get all handsy now.”
She didn’t understand why Christopher liked touching her so much.
“Is this how he acts in front of other women as well?”
The thought put a frown on Yuliana’s face, and she left him behind and walked out of the room.
Christopher swiftly followed her out. Yuliana was about to sit on the couch, but the man quickly plopped
down first. Seeing this, she went to sit on the double-seater couch beside them, only for Christopher to
bold her by her waist and press her onto hisp.
“Christopher!” Yuliana red at him with angry eyes.
“Ahem. You said you want to be a normal couple with me, Yuliana. It’s normal for normal couples to
hug each other. I see how ufortable you are about it. I’m just trying to get you used to it in
advance!” said Christopher.

Yuliana didn’t say anything to that, but she knew this was only his excuse to take advantage of her!
Yuliana struggled against him again, but the man’s strength was too strong for her to get up.
Suddenly, Christopher warned in a low voice, “Stop moving!”
Yuliana nced at him, and it took her a long second to notice how tense the muscles on his thighs
were. He also had a grim expression on his face.
Anger and shame instantly washed over her at the moment of realization. “I want to get up!” she said
and hissed.
Instead, Christopher’s hold around her waist tightened as he warned, “Sit still, or I’ll go all the way right
now.
