Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 37

When I was young, I had to brace myself through all sorts of humiliations because no one was there for me. Although that was still the case, I no longer needed others’ backings because I could rely on myself.

Irked, Yvette gasped out her reply with her face puckered in irritation, “Yvonne, what makes you think you’re in a position to pick on me? Have you no shame at all? Crystal is the only one who deserves Lyle!”

Christopher had taught me silence would be the best response to a fool. As I winced in silence, Yvette could no longer keep herself calm. She sprinted over in an attempt to slap me in the face.

I took a step back to evade the slap. In return, I warned her in a hushed voice, “If you don’t want to hurt yourself, you better keep that side of yours to yourself since most of the guests are here for you.”

Thrilled to be able to get the better of Yvette for once, I sprinted in the direction of the courtyard and made up my mind to defend myself from that day onwards. I was about to take a breather and spend some time alone, but I accidentally bumped into someone.

I staggered and thought I would embarrass myself again because of the pair of heels I couldn’t get used to. However, a man wrapped his arm around my waist in the nick of time. I felt a strong urge to push him away but paused when I caught a whiff of a familiar scent.

It was the scent of tobacco exclusive to that man. I gaped at the presence of Christopher and tried to push him away to prevent drawing unnecessary attention. Nonetheless, he grasped me with all his might and leaned over, whispering in a hoarse voice, “I miss you so much because it has been quite a few days since our last meeting.”

“Hurry up and move away from me!” Afraid others would run into us, I started shuddering in fear. The reason I had an affair with another man was just to provoke Lyle.
