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 blanket of complete 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 collapse at any
second.
“Mrs. Solace is back.” The housekeeper greeted her with a gentle smile as she saw her coming 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHailey stared at Yuliana before her eyes suddenly turned red. She exclaimed 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 Solace and Alex already had dinner. But, unfortunately, Mrs. Joyce Solace and Mr.
Christopher Solace 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, she lay 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

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
plate of spaghetti for Yuliana. After that, Christopher held the plate 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 would come 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.”
