Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 181

Once the dishes were ready, I proceeded to sample them and carried on to pack the prepared dishes once I ensured it was adequately seasoned.

In spite of not being a great cook, I could prepare a few simple dishes. The ones I had were at least tastier than the ones Christopher brought me.

After a short while, I noticed Lyle had disappeared. Chuckling, I wondered if he had made his way to our place to verify I was alive or not.

I had no intention to figure out if Lyle had honored his promise and attempted to rescue me. To be precise, I couldn’t care less about the things that had occurred once they departed.

If it weren’t because of Christopher, Lyle might return to my corpse once he made his way back with Crystal. After all, I would either be killed or had committed suicide by then.

No woman could possibly brace themselves through the humiliation. Speaking of which, I recalled the time Lyle left me alone in the hotel and allowed others to take advantage of me.

Once I had everything ready, I retrieved the set of outfits I bought Christopher from the wardrobe and got myself ready to return to the hospital.

All of a sudden, someone rang the doorbell in a hurry. I rushed over and answered the door. I was not surprised by the presence of Lyle at the doorstep at all.

He had his eyes glued to me while panting. Shortly after he caught his breath, he sprinted over and held me in between his arms. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“I’m glad you’re fine!”

I started shivering in disgust because I couldn’t stand being around that hypocrite. I pushed him away and asked in a callous tone, “What do you want?”

Lyle explained himself, “Please listen to me, Yvonne! It was never my intention to leave you alone! In fact, I brought a bunch of people back to the scene with me once I made my way back with Crystal. However, you were nowhere to be seen anymore.”

The sheer thought of recalling the incident that had occurred in the basement sent me to another vicious cycle of despair.

Afraid he would remind me of the times the three vicious-looking men ran their hands across my body, I interrupted him and deadpanned my reply, “Is that any of my concerns? Are you done yet? If you’ll excuse me, I’m about to head out!”

“Yvonne, I—” Lyle wasn’t able to finish his sentence. After much considerations, he asked, “How are you?”

He had his eyes glued to my trembling hands. In my defense, he was the one at fault for rushing over to my side without my consent. Christopher was the only man allowed to approach me. Otherwise, my body would start shivering against my will when other men were around.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. A few seconds later, I yelled, “I’m perfectly fine! Also, congratulation on being promoted to fatherhood! I’ll appreciate it if you can sort things out between us as soon as possible! I’m sure you don’t want Crystal to be concerned when she’s heavily pregnant, do you? You don’t think I’m going to raise the child on your behalf, do you?”

Overwhelmed by my sarcastic remarks, Colors drained from Lyle’s face. After a few seconds of glare, he nodded and announced, “I’ll get the agreement ready as soon as possible. We’ll put an end to everything soon.”

“Sounds like a great idea!” I brought the stuff I had with me and marched towards the car. Lyle came after me and yelled when I was about to board the car, “Yvonne, I owe you once, but I have never done anything wrong! Since you’re also having an affair with someone else, it’s safe to consider we’re even!”

I had to stop myself from throwing the things around me in his direction when he mentioned we were even.

What the heck does he mean we’re even when I’m the sole victim of this messed-up marriage? Is he indicating I have been wasting his time over the years?

Well, I guess it’s not much of a surprise since he can easily deny himself of his liabilities as a husband because the only one he cares about is Crystal!

In spite of the things I had in mind, I decided to pay no heed to the man who would soon be an estranged man in my life. I turned around and bade farewell to him with a bright grin, “I hope I won’t run into you anymore!”
