Chapter 44 Why Are You Smiling?

Yuliana stayed in the hospital for observation overnight and was discharged the next morning.

Since it happened to be Saturday. Yuliana didn’t have to go to work. When she got home, she followed the doctor’s advice and lay down on the bed to rest. Soon, she fell asleep until she was woken up by the ringtone of her phone.

Groggily, Yuliana picked up her phone and looked at the screen. It was a message from Larry asking her what she wanted to eat tonight.

When Yuliana first read the message, she thought that Larry had wrongly sent the message to her. Hence, she put down her phone and continued to sleep. After a few seconds, a thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately opened her eyes.

She remembered that she had agreed with Larry that she would treat him to dinner on Saturday night.

She suddenly realized something. “Isn’t it Saturday today?”

Yuliana immediately jolted awake. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already 5 p.m.

She hurriedly replied to Larry, [I’m okay with anything.] NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Larry asked, [How about we get some steaks?]

Yuliana replied. [Okay.]

Larry wrote, [I’ll book a seat first. I’ll pick you up at Maple Garden in an hour.]

Yuliana replied yes and put down her phone. After lying on the bed for a while, she got up and started to prepare herself for the dinner.

An hour later, when Yuliana arrived at the gate of the residential area, Larry’s car had already parked on the roadside. Seeing Yuliana coming out, he immediately drove the car over.

“Yuliana!”

Larry got out of the car and opened the door for Yuliana.

Yuliana said thank you. After Larry got in the car, she said, “By the way, I haven’t had time to wash your clothes yet. I will return them to you after the washing.”

Larry was about to tell her that she didn’t need to return the clothes to him before he changed his mind. He suddenly smiled brightly and said, “Okay.”

Yuliana glanced at him inexplicably and then looked out of the window.

The restaurant Larry chose had an excellent environment and was located at a strategic location. The table was right beside the window, and if one looked out, they could have a panoramic view of the night scene in the most prosperous area of Juxshire.

However, Yuliana was not in the mood to appreciate the scene.

“Yuliana, your work should be very interesting. After all, you’re facing so many children every day. Isn’t it so?” Larry cut the steak, looked up at Yuliana opposite him, and spoke with a smile.

Yuliana held her breath and said, “Most of the time, it’s interesting, but occasionally…

Halfway through the words, she stopped abruptly.

Seeing that her expression was off, Larry quickly put down the cutlery and asked, “What’s wrong. Yuliana?”

Yuliana covered her mouth and

“Sorry, I need to use these with one of her hands and waved the other while saying in a hurry,

first.”

She hurriedly got up and walked toward the restroom.

In fact, the food she just ordered was very light, but Larry ordered a medium-rare steak. Yuliana began to feel sick when the smell hit her. When she saw Larry cut the steak open and reveal the scarlet flesh inside, she just couldn’t fight her nausea anymore.

A few minutes later, Yuliana finally came out of the restroom, wasted. She didn’t pay attention to the side and went straight to the basin. Then, she twisted the faucet and rinsed her mouth with a few handfuls of water When she was about to get some tissues from the dispenser on the wall, she heard the sound of the tissues being drawn. Right then, someore handed over two tissues to her.

Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw Annabelle standing next to her in a red skirt. The tissue was handed over by her.

A few seconds later, she took the tissue from Annabelle and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

Annabelle didn’t reply. She turned to the mirror on the wall and took out a piece of lipstick from her bag to fix her makeup. She skillfully applied the lipstick on her lips and smudged it with her fingertips. After the final examination, she said faintly, “Does Harry know you are pregnant?”

Yuliana was stunned again. She didn’t know why Annabelle was sure that she was pregnant. Was it because she vomited?

She didn’t know why Annabelle thought that Harry must be the father of the child.

Thinking of this, she felt ridiculous again.

If Annabelle hadn’t suddenly appeared, her marriage with Harry wouldn’t have come to an end so soon.

Now, the baby she was pregnant with was Christopher’s, and he was about to marry Annabelle.

Thinking of this, Yuliana smiled.

Annabelle’s eyes caught that faint smile. “What are you smiling at?”

Yuliana stopped smiling and said nonchalantly, “Nothing”

Then, she ignored Annabelle, threw the tissue into the trash can, and left the restroom.

Annabelle looked at herself in the mirror expressionlessly. She stood there motionlessly for a moment before her phone rang. Then, she suddenly came back to her senses.

“I’m here. Have you finished your meal?”

“Yes. I’ll be right down.”

Annabelle hung up the phone, smiled in the mirror, and then walked out of the bathroom in high heels.

Seeing that Yuliana was unwell, Larry didn’t intend to continue eating, so he offered to send her back to rest first.

Although Yuliana felt a little sorry, the smell in the restaurant really made her feel uncomfortable, so she agreed.

When she went to check out, she found that Larry had already paid the bill.

While the duo was waiting for the elevator, Yuliana said, “We agreed that I was treating you to dinner. Why did you pay the bill?”

Larry grinned and said, “Yes, Yuliana, you did ask me out for dinner, but there is no way a gentleman would let a woman pay for his dinner.”

While he was talking, a crisp and rhythmic sound of high heels came from behind. Larry turned his head to have a look. His expression froze when he saw the person. He greeted, “Annabelle.”
