Chapter 187 Harry Is Not The Father

Upon hearing what Yuliana said, Damian was stunned for a moment. He could not believe his ears and asked, “Are you saying that you’re pregnant?”

Yuliana nodded. “My due date is by the end of May.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“That’s great! This is great!” Damian laughed with relief. Tears welled up in his eyes. He took a deep breath and sighed. “I was at first worried that your marriage with Harry wouldn’t last long. Since you’re pregnant, I guess your marriage is safe again.”

After Yuliana and Harry were married, they did not have a baby together. At first, Damian thought Yuliana could still try for a baby in a few years since she was still young.

Unexpectedly, the incident happened, and he was sent to prison.

Damian was constantly worried that his affairs would affect Yuliana and Harry’s marriage.

Back when Harry married Yuliana, Damian knew Harry had an impure motive.

If Yuliana did not insist on marrying Harry, Damian would have never allowed his daughter to be with Harry. no matter what.

There was no wrong for one to be ambitious. However, if Harry did not genuinely care for Yuliana and only treated her as a tool for profit, Damian knew Harry would naturally abandon Yuliana when he deemed she was no longer useful to him.

As a father, Damian wanted nothing else but for Yuliana to find someone who truly loved and cared for her for the rest of her life.

Clearly, Harry did not meet Damian’s requirements to be his son-in-law.

“Since you are pregnant, you should focus on building a good life with Harry. You don’t have to come here and visit me!” Damian’s expression softened a little. He continued, “Even if Harry doesn’t mind you coming here, the Ziegler family patriarch, your father-in-law, and the other members of the Ziegler family would never want to have their names associated with mine.”

Yuliana did not immediately explain herself, but she was in a trance when she looked at Damian.

It had only been two years. Damian used to be a vigorous and powerful man, yet he was now looking like an ordinary old man.

In fact, Damian was not too old. He was yet to reach 60 years old.

Before the incident, Damian was chubbier, but he still looked young for his age. However, he had lost weight since then and was no longer as energetic as before. He had aged a lot..

Yuliana lowered her eyelids and contemplated her words before saying. “Harry is not the baby’s father.”

“What?” Damian was so shocked that he could not believe his ears.

Yuliana raised her gaze again at him and smiled faintly, explaining, “Actually, Harry and I have been divorced for a while.”

“Did Harry force you to divorce?” Damian asked sternly and clenched his fists, slamming the table angrily.

The prison officers heard the loud noise and immediately opened the door to check on the situation.

Yuliana was embarrassed and said, “We’re fine.”

The prison officers warned Damian before leaving the room.

Yuliana stared at Damian’s angry face and paused before saying. “It doesn’t matter if he forced me. We’re divorced now. To me, this is already in the past.”

Damian rubbed his face with both hands and remained silent for a long time. “I’m sorry for dragging you into

this.”

Seeing his guilty look, Yuliana felt a little uneasy and smiled at him. “Harry wouldn’t have married me if I weren’t your daughter. Don’t feel sorry for me. These were all my decisions. Besides, I’m doing quite well now.”

Damian quietly listened to her and asked, “Then, who is the father of the baby?”

“His name is Christopher Solace.”

“Christopher Solace?” Damian had no impression of the name. “What does he do for a living? Is he good to you?”

Yuliana thought for a while and chuckled. “I am not too sure about his job in detail.”

Although Christopher was recently busy dealing with the Solace Corporation Romdale Branch’s matters, Yuliana believed it was only temporary. Christopher did not seem too interested in Solace Corporation. She only chuckled at the mention of Christopher’s job because she found it funny that she did not know much about it despite being his wife.

“But then, he is quite good to me.”

Damian nodded. “That’s good to know.”

Yuliana looked at the time, knowing that visit time was almost over, and said, “Sabrina called me a few days ago. She and Jake have settled abroad. Jake is also attending school now. You don’t have to worry about them. She said she would bring Jake back this year to visit you.”

Sabrina Livingstone was Damian’s second wife and Yuliana’s stepmother.

As for Jake, his full name was Jacob Livingstone. He was ten years old and the son of Damian and Sabrina.

When the incident happened, Damian had arranged to send Sabrina and Jacob abroad.

At first, he wanted Yuliana to go with them too, but Yuliana refused.

Besides, Yuliana was already married and had her own family. It was inappropriate for Damian to send her abroad. Not to mention, Yuliana could still rely on her mother, Callie, if things became difficult for her.

Before Damian’s incident, Yuliana was only acquainted with Sabrina.

Although they were not as hostile as other stepmothers and stepdaughters who were always at each other’s throats, Yuliana and Sabrina were not close either. They even acted politely around each other.

After Sabrina and Jacob went abroad, Yuliana and Sabrina started to contact each other more regularly to learn about Damian’s and Jacob’s current situations. Hence, they became much closer to each other.

At the mention of Sabrina and Jacob, Damian remained silent for a long time.

Yuliana said, “Sabrina and Jake sent me some recent photos. I have printed them out and given them to the prison officers. They will hand over the pictures to you soon. Jake has lost much weight, and he’s much taller than before. I think he will soon grow as tall as Sabrina.”

In the past, Jacob did not grow any taller. The more he ate, the more weight he gained, and he was soon overweight. Damian was worried that would affect Jacob’s health, so he kept urging Jacob to be on a diet and lose weight. At that time, Jacob was rebellious and had a fiery temper. If the adults stopped him from eating, he would throw a tantrum, and no one could control him.

However, Jacob was rather obedient to Yuliana. Although they were half-siblings from different mothers, they were pretty close with each other.

Damian said, “Ana, I know I am not a qualified father to you and your brother. Jake is still a child, so I will have to trouble you more to take care of him on my behalf. Also, Sabrina is still young. Please tell her to think about herself if she meets someone better in the future. Let her know that she doesn’t have to bring Jake back here. Even if they returned to the country, I wouldn’t want to see them.”

He paused and looked at Yuliana. “You too. Stop coming here in the future.”

“Dad…”

Damian waved his hand and stood up. He walked over to the door and was about to leave. But as he held the doorknob, he suddenly stopped and turned around, saying to Yuliana, “Now that Jake is living abroad, you’re the only person left to manage the Livingstone family. If you’re filial, please remember to visit your grandparents’ tombs once a year.”

Yuliana’s grandparents passed away before she was born, but Damian would bring his family to their tombs every year to pay them respect.

Yuliana said, “I will.”

After leaving the prison, Yuliana felt a little at a loss.

Looking up at the sky, she noticed it was gloomy and windy. Such weather in winter felt exceptionally lonely, and it could easily affect one’s mood.

On her way back, Yuliana recalled a lot of things about Damian.

Although he could not be considered an upright and honest government official, he was also not a bad guy.
