Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 330

I initially thought I would decline Christopher’s request, but it turned out that I accepted it without hesitation when I saw the anticipation in Christopher’s eyes. At that moment, I forgot who I was and only had one thought in mind—I would agree to it no matter what he said.

When Lucas saw me out, Christopher kept hugging me and glaring at him. A moment later, he said with a long face, “You don’t have to see her out, for I’ll take good care of my wife.”

Lucas felt a little awkward upon hearing Christopher’s direct remark. After all, Lucas was gentle and always spoke tactfully. Hence, I kicked Christopher gently and flashed Lucas an apologetic smile.

“Thank you for taking care of me all this time. It’s my honor to have you as my friend.”

“I hope I can hear it from you again when I meet you next time. Anyway, cherish your time,” Lucas said.

“Of course!” I would be delighted if I still had the chance to meet Lucas again.

We flew first-class and returned to Avenport in a few hours. Once I got off the plane, I recalled the despair I had when I left this place.

My feelings now were different, yet I was still someone who was about to die. However, I wasn’t afraid, for Christopher was always with me.

Once we got home, Christopher carried me to the couch and helped me wash up as though I was crippled. When it was about time to have medicine, I took out the pills from my bag.

I hesitated, for I would feel uncomfortable every time I had the pills. Although the doctor explained that it was alright, I didn’t want to cough up blood before Christopher.

“What do you prefer having for lunch?” Christopher sat beside me and asked.

“How about eating out? I want to eat something simple but delicious,” I blinked and replied smilingly.

“Sure, let’s eat out later.”

Since the sunlight was dazzling, I covered my eyes with the cloth given by the doctor to avoid hurting them again. The beautiful tune from the piano filled the restaurant, and I gazed at Christopher as he was eating. Right then, he was like the most beautiful being that I had ever laid my eyes upon, and I was very reluctant to move my eyes elsewhere.

“Hey! Is that you, Eve?”

I turned around and saw Mason and Mary. Delighted to see my old friends, I stood up and greeted them smilingly. “Mrs. Ziegler, it’s been a long time. Are you here to have dinner with Mr. Ziegler? How sweet!”

“Haha, please spare me, for I’m already a middle-aged woman. Besides, aren’t you with your husband as well—” Mary was startled once she pointed at Christopher. A moment later, she asked in disbelief, “Chris?”

“Mary, it’s been a long time. Come and have a seat.” Without hesitation, Christopher pointed at me and introduced me to them. “This is my wife, Yvonne. Since you guys are friends, why don’t we have dinner together? However, I think dinner should be on you because you still owe me one.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Sure, it’s my treat tonight.” Mason and Mary were shocked upon seeing us dating. After sitting down, they kept looking at me and only ordered whatever the waitress recommended. I chuckled and couldn’t understand why they were so shocked to find out that Christopher and I were together. After all, the news about our relationship had been widespread.

After a while, Mary heaved a sigh and patted my hand. “We’re aware of your relationship with Mr. Smith and also heard that you got a divorce. If a man doesn’t love a woman anymore, she should get a divorce to ease the pain. Besides, Chris is a good man.”

I smiled at Mary gratefully and replied, “Thank you. Even though I’ve divorced Lyle, I hope it won’t affect your collaboration with the Smith family. After all, the family is still influential, especially since Sharon is in charge.”

However, I could feel the reluctance in Mary’s gaze. She probably wanted to ask me if the Lane family knew about it but held her tongue.

“Yvonne!” Suddenly, I heard Lyle’s voice from behind.

Speak of the devil. I turned around and confirmed that it was Lyle.
