Chapter 316


    Yuliana’s thoughts were a little scattered, but she quickly pulled herself together. As she lifted her gaze,


    her eyes met Christopher’s. Compared to that night he came to Oceanview Apartment, he appeared


    neither fatter nor thinner, but there was an air of destion and vicissitudes around him.


    The stubble on Christopher’s chin was showing, and he didn’t shave it. He probably hadn’t had a good


    rest as well, so he looked exhausted with dark circles under his eyes.


    The two of them stared at each other silently for a while.


    Zayne was sorting out the documents for the case and failed to notice the subtle interaction between


    the two.


    Christopher’s chapped lips parted, and with a hoarse voice, he uttered, “Why are you here?”


    Hearing this, Zayne looked up at Christopher and nced at Yuliana.


    Yuliana’s eyes were calm. Her face betrayed no hint of emotion as she responded, “I have something


    to discuss with you.”


    After that, Yuliana didn’t speak further.


    When Zayne finished sorting out the case files, he began to ask Christopher about the case. But what


    Christopher said was more or less the same as what he told Zayne and La when they met the day


    before.


    Zayne felt that there was no need to waste his breath going through everything again. He said to


    Yuliana, “I need to use the restroom.”


    That was just an excuse. He could see that Yuliana wanted to talk to Christopher alone, so he found an


    excuse to give them some privacy.


    As soon as Zayne left, Christopher lifted his gaze to Yuliana. He slouched back on the chair and moved


    his hands out of habit, but he realized that both of them were restrained. At that realization, he frowned


    slightly in irritation.


    “What do you want to talk to me about?” Christopher asked.


    “Are you the one who killed Scarlett?” Yuliana probed.


    so.”


    Christopher’s expression changed slightly, but the hint of emotion on his face quickly dissipated. He


    smirked nonchntly and replied, “If you say


    Yuliana finally realized what Zayne meant when he said Christopher was not cooperating.


    She retorted, “If I say so? What if the police or the court say so too? Christopher, have you ever


    thought about this? If you don’t tell the police the truth and end up being convicted as the murderer, you


    could go to jail or even be sentenced to


    death.”


    When Yuliana said this, she remainedposed, as if she was merely stating a fact without any trace


    of emotion.


    Christopherughed, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Yuliana. “Yuliana, I didn’t know you cared so


    much about me. I thought you won’t meddle in my business anymore since we’re going to divorce.”


    Yuliana stared at Christopher and went silent for a few seconds before saying, “Yes, I do care about


    you.”


    Upon hearing her words, Christopher finally revealed a trace of emotion. He gently pursed his lips while


    his dull eyes gradually darkened further.


    “No.” Yuliana suddenly added, lowering her eyes and smiling faintly. She then looked up at Christopher


    and said, “To be exact, I love you. Christopher, I love you.”

    After she said that, tears streamed down her cheeks.


    She raised her fingers to wipe away the tears softly, the smile on her face remaining ever gentle. “To be


    honest, I never imagined I would fall in love with someone like you. You arepletely different from


    my ideal type.”


    Since Yuliana was young, she had always been attracted to people who were motivated and earnest,


    and not someone like Christopher, who wasid-back and enthralled by fun and entertainment.


    Harry gave her the impression of the former type of person, so she fell in love with him when she was a


    teenage girl.


    But after getting married, she gradually discovered that Harry was different from what she had


    imagined. While Harry was indeed motivated, he used whatever means to achieve his goals. Of


    course, the business world was like a battlefield, it wasmon for people to be merciless.


    However, her marriage with Harry was not the kind of marriage she wanted.


    Christopher was not Yuliana’s ideal type. Their one-year marriage had its ups downs, and they fought a


    lot. But after thinking back to the time they spent together, Yuliana still felt a sense of bliss.


    SO


    and


    She enjoyed the simplicity of her rtionship with Christopher and the fact that Christopher was


    clinging to her.


    “But I fell in love with you. What can I do?” Yuliana gave a wryugh, paused for a while, and


    continued, “I don’t want to divorce you. I hope that I can be together with you and Roe as a family


    forever.”


    While staring into Christopher’s eyes, Yuliana went on, “Christopher, don’t you feel anything at all for


    me? Can’t you let yourself walk out of here as an innocent man for me and our son? Do you want


    someone to curse Roe one day, calling his


    father a murderer?”


    Christopher clenched his fists while his gaze remained fixated on Yuliana. The veins on the back of his


    hand were bulging as if they were about to explode.


    After a long silence, he spoke again with a resolute tone tinged with sarcasm. “After the divorce, you


    can change his surname, or you can find a new father for him. Isn’t it fine as long as no one knows that


    he is my son?”


    Yuliana pursed her lips tightly. “Are you really going to divorce me?”


    “Of course. Do you think I’m joking?” Christopher reverted back to his nonchnt behavior and smiled


    derisively at Yuliana as he mocked, “Ana, I didn’t expect you to fall in love with me. I’m actually pleased


    to hear what you said just now. However, I believe you’re aware that the reason we got married in the


    first ce was that you were pregnant. As a responsible man, I couldn’t just abandon the offspring of


    the Sce family. I had no choice but to marry you. After getting married, I nned to live a good life


    with you. Even though you are a boring person, your figure still suits my taste and gave me a sense of


    excitement. I thought maybe we could go on forever.”


    Christopher took a nce at Yuliana and continued, “But how long can the excitementst? Ana, we’ve


    known each other for a while now, and you are the mother of my son. I want us to part on good terms.”


    Listening to his words, Yuliana suddenly chuckled. “You said so many things, but in conclusion, you still


    want to divorce me. You didn’t really have to say all of that. A simple ‘yes’ would have sufficed. You’re


    right. If we were to divorce, I can change Rowan’s surname and leave Juxshire with him, or I can


    remarry if I meet the right person in the future. As long as no one knows that Rowan is your son, no


    one will” know that he has a father who murdered someone and entered prison. But Christopher, are


    you sure this is what you want?”


    Christopher smirked. “I haven’t reached the point where I need my son to see me off to my deathbed. If


    necessary, I can always find another woman to bear me a child.”


    Yuliana’s eyes turned cold at that. “In that case, I have nothing more to say. Today will be myst time


    seeing you. As for our divorce procedures, I will fully cooperate.”


    After saying that, she stood up, walked toward the door, and ced her hand on the doorknob. As she


    was about to open the door and leave, she stopped in her tracks.


    “Christopher, once I walk out of here today, I won’t look back no matter what happens in the future.”


    After a long silence, a faint voice was heard from behind. “Okay.”
