Chapter 145 Prove It To Me
Staring into his cold eyes, Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth to speak, but the
hand holding her chin suddenly withdrew. Christopher shot her a stony gaze, spun around, and walked
away.
“Christopher!”

Yuliana wanted to stop him, but Christopher didn’t respond to her call at all. He went into the bathroom
with a towel without sparing a backward nce. Aftering out of the bathroom, he went straight to
his room and didn’t step out again.
Yuliana sat on the couch, at a loss, for a while.
It was already early in the morning. The whole world seemed so quiet.
Memories of her standing in front of Harry and the gaze in Christopher’s eyes shed across her mind
repeatedly.
Every time she thought about it, the frustration within her would amplify.
“Also, how did Christopher find out that I liked Harry for ten years?” Yuliana wondered.
During her three years in high school, except for Xandria, she had never told anyone about her feelings
for Harry. Even Harry was oblivious to it.
The first time she confessed her feelings to Harry was when she was about to graduate from university.
At that time, Harry had just broken up with Annabelle.
Yuliana’s mind was a mess. She stared at the closed door and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she
slowly made her way over to the door.
After halting at the door briefly, she raised her knuckle and knocked on the door twice. There was no
answer. After another short pause, she held the doorknob and twisted it. The door cracked open, and
the faint smell of sandalwood wafted toward her.
The lights in the room were on.
She swept her gaze around the room and saw Christopher standing in front of the big ss wall with
his back to the door, looking slender yet forlorn. He had changed into dark-colored pajamas. His hair
was still wet, indicating that he had juste out of the shower.
Faint plumes of white smoke rose from the scented candle on the nightstand.
Yuliana stepped into the room and paused behind him. She called out softly, “Christopher.”
Christopher didn’t turn around at her call. There was a lit cigarette between his fingers.
It was rare for Yuliana to feel guilty – especially for her to feel it before resolving the myriad of
complications between her and Christopher.
Yuliana didn’t know how to start when Christopher didn’t respond.
After a long silence, Christopher stubbed the cigarette and walked to the side to open the window. He
finally whirled around and nced at Yuliana. “You take the room, and I’ll take the couch.”
At the end of his sentence, he walked straight out with his long legs.
Yuliana instinctively reached out and sped his arm. “Christopher, anything between Harry and me is
already in the past. I’ve never thought of putting my child’s life at risk. I only stood in front of him due to
the desperate situation. It wasn’t that I still have feelings for him. I just didn’t want the two of you to
keep fighting. Moreover…” She stopped for a beat and fixed her bright eyes on Christopher. “I knew
you would stop.”
Yuliana didn’t know where that kind of trust came from. Bted apprehension filled her at the
shback. However, at that time, she had an inexplicable intuition that Christopher wouldn’t hurt her.
Christopher let her hold on to him and stood still.
Yuliana couldn’t see his face, so she didn’t know what expression he was sporting. She took two steps
forward and stood in front of him. Looking up at him, she stared into his eyes with seriousness and
exined, “When you came back from Romdale, I was visiting Harry’s grandma at the nursing home. I
was married to Harry for three years, and Harry’s grandma treated me well during those years. You
knew that. I went to the nursing home to visit her, but that was because of my attachment to her. It had
nothing to do with Harry. She was sent to the hospitalst night and said she wanted to see me.”
Bringing that up also
brought up Yuliana’s memory of Harry’s grandma’sst moments before thetter passed away.
Feeling upset, she got choked up. “She… passed away not long after I got there.”
Upon hearing her revtion, something shed across Christopher’s face, but it was fleeting.
“Prove it to me.” His thin lips moved. His gray eyes shone clear beneath the light.
Yuliana looked into his eyes, spacing out for a moment. “What?” she asked.
Christopher grabbed her hand and put it on the cor of his pajama shirt. “Didn’t you say that
everything between you and that jerk is already in the past? Then, prove it to me! Yuliana, we already
got a marriage certificate. We’re a legitimate married couple now. The doctor also said your body can
take it.”
Yuliana instantly understood what he meant. She frowned and wanted to withdraw her hand, but
Christopher held on to it tightly.
“Christopher, I’m not in the mood tonight!”
Having just experienced the passing of Harry’s grandma, how could she have sex with Christopher at
this time?
Moreover, there were still many problems between her and Christopher.
Margaret’s face crossed her mind at the thought.
Christopher tightened his grip on her hand and scoffed. “When were you ever in the mood? Didn’t you
refuse me from the start, Yuliana? You wouldn’t have married me if it wasn’t for the baby! Are you
thinking of keeping your chastity for Harry? Are you waiting for the day he remembers you and waves
you over, and you’ll serve yourself on a tter to him?”
By the end of his sentence, the expression on his face was so hard that it was scary.
Yuliana looked at him and didn’t say anything for a long time. Tears filled her eyes uncontrobly, and
big, fat droplets slid from the corners of her eyes.
Christopher had said something simr in the past, and she had pped him across the face thest
time.
She wanted to exin and talk to Christopher about all the problems they faced during that period.
Yet, she realized that that was merely her wishful thinking.
Yuliana cast her gaze downward to hide her emotions. She bit her lower lip and said calmly, “Since you
don’t believe me, let’s separate!”
