Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 256

Lyle got up immediately with his hands on his stomach. “Christopher.” There was no anger in his voice. On the contrary, Lyle was smiling. “It doesn’t feel good, right, using a used product? Yvonne was mine. Why did you have to take her away from me?”

Meanwhile, Christopher held his hand in front of me, signaling for me to help him wipe it. So, I took out some tissue. After I was done, he threw the tissue onto the floor and curled his lips. “I should actually thank you for leaving Eve all alone and giving me the chance to slip in. Thank you for making Eve mine and mine alone. You’re a good guy.”

Lyle was stunned after hearing that. “That’s impossible.” He gasped.

“Nothing’s impossible!” Christopher pulled me into his arms and turned to kiss me before continuing, “Don’t tell me you don’t know that I befriended you just because of her? Did you think it was really because of your talent? Why would I marry some other man’s woman?”

Lyle was shaken; he staggered backward and sat down. He looked at Christopher, then at me. “You’re lying, lying! Christopher Lane, what you said makes no sense. I left Yvonne at the hotel, and she was drugged. There’s no way she could’ve met you. You’re overseas back then.”

“Coincidentally, I got back that day. Sorry about that, Lyle. Did you think I approached you without a reason?” Christopher looked at Lyle like he was looking at a clown.

“That’s impossible! That’s too much of a coincidence!” Lyle was starting to waver as he looked at us.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite that, I felt no sympathy for him. This time, I succumbed to my hatred. Back then, I would always worry that Crystal might toy with him. But at that moment, my only wish was to see him suffer.

What did I do to deserve such treatment? Did I do something during the eight years that made him this way? Where did the kind and gentle Lyle I knew go?

At that moment, Lyle suddenly shot up from the chair. “So you had ulterior motives all along? How despicable of you to be laying hands on a friend’s wife!”

“I merely acquired a treasure that you decided to bury. You did not appreciate it, so why not give it to someone else that did? You know this better than anyone else. I’ll settle everything with you after we return.”

After that, Christopher took me by the hand, and we left the hall.While we were leaving, I took a glimpse at Lyle. He was sitting there with a blank face, looking distraught.

I closed my eyes as my heart sank. I felt weak, so I leaned on Christopher. “What do I do, Christopher? This is the first time I hated someone so wholeheartedly. I don’t want to waste my energy on someone I’m trying to forget, but Lyle is just too much. He never considered the consequences of his words.”

He wanted to utterly destroy me. If it were not for Christopher, if the man that night was not Christopher, I might as well jump ship and kill myself then and there.

“Don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll pay him back for everything he did to you,” Christopher said as he plucked away a streamer from my hair and smiled. “It’s all in the past now. No matter what anyone thinks, we are happy together.”

“Okay.” I looked back towards the direction of the hall. Crystal was talking to Lyle, but he shoved her aside and left.

It did not seem like their relationship was as strong as I thought. They always seemed to find their way into an argument whenever they met.

That night, probably because of what happened, I heard a sudden gunshot in my sleep and immediately opened my eyes to find a gun pointed at my head.
