Chapter 287


    But one would always wake up from a dream. Yuliana knew she still had to face reality as soon as she


    woke up.


    Again, that day, darkness had fallen as soon as Yuliana came back from outside.


    The massive mansion was quiet. Under a nket ofplete darkness, it stood like a lifeless and


    dreadful decapitated building.


    Yuliana had never felt like this before.


    She had no idea when she started to feel that the house was unsafe for her anymore and would


    copse at any second.


    “Mrs. Sce is back.” The housekeeper greeted her with a gentle smile as she saw hering back.


    Yuliana was fully immersed in her thoughts. She went upstairs as if she did not hear the housekeeper’s


    greetings.


    After returning to her room, she sat still on the couch like a wooden puppet. She finally came to her


    senses when she heard the knocking on the door. Then, she got up to open the door and saw Hailey


    standing at the threshold.


    Hailey stared at Yuliana before her eyes suddenly turned red. She eximed concernedly, “Yuliana,


    what do you want to eat tonight? I will go and cook it for you.”


    One week had just passed, but Yuliana was so thin now that she was all skin and bones.


    After she gave birth to Rowan, Yuliana managed to nurse her body back to good health. But, now, in a


    short time, she became so thin that all the clothes that used to fit her perfectly now looked baggy on


    her. Besides that, she now had sharper facial features, as excess flesh was no longer on her cheeks.


    “Has Mom taken her meal?” Yuliana inquired.


    Hailey replied, “Mrs. Winnie Sce and Alex already had dinner. But, unfortunately, Mrs. Joyce Sce


    and Mr. Christopher Sce haven’t returned They informed me over the phone that they will be busy


    with their work tonight, so they are not returning home for dinner.”


    yet.

    Yuliana nodded and said, “I see. I have no appetite now. Hailey, don’t worry about me. Just go and


    proceed with your work.”


    Hailey was about to speak, but she said nothing in the end. Yuliana closed the door behind her before


    she could say anything.


    Yuliana took a shower and went to lie down on the bed. She hoped to meet Rowan in her dreams


    sooner.


    She missed Rowan so much.


    However, the harder Yuliana forced herself to close her eyes, the harder it was to fall asleep.


    Yuliana felt dizzy and drowsy, and she could not sleep well. She did not dream of Rowan as she


    wished. Instead, Yuliana could not help but start to weep.


    She was unaware of the time until she heard someone open the door.


    Yuliana was awakened from her slumber. She knew that Christopher was back.


    However, shey still on the bed and did not open her eyes.


    She had not spoken to Christopher since that morning.


    Christopher went to an event again just now. He was drunk and reeked of alcohol. The housekeepers


    assisted Christopher upstairs. When he arrived at the doorstep, he waved and gestured for them to


    leave him alone, as he could walk without assistance.


    Christopher stumbled toward the bedside and sat down. Yuliana was sleeping with her back facing him.


    He stared at her and said, “Hailey said you didn’t eat anything the whole night?”


    Yuliana opened her eyes, but she did not answer his question.


    The room was dead silent.


    Christopher sat by the bed, while his gaze fell heavily on an empty space.


    After a while, he got up and left the room. Then, Christopher went downstairs and told the


    housekeepers to cook a te of spaghetti for Yuliana. After that, Christopher held the te and went


    upstairs again. Finally, he lifted Yuliana from the bed despite her struggle.


    Yuliana bit him hard in resistance.


    Christopher frowned, but he did not push her away. He allowed her to bite him but said, “If you take


    another bite, you’ll have to eat more.”


    Yuliana bit his shoulder and did not let go of it. Instead, her eyes turned red. Then, after a while, she


    loosened her teeth and started crying while burying herself in Christopher’s shoulder.


    “You lied to me. You told me Roe woulde back soon, but you lied!”


    Yuliana felt like her heart had been ripped out. She had never felt so down in her whole life.


    “I miss him. I miss him so much… Christopher, I miss him.”
