Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 117

“I’m sorry, but I never liked to eat fish. I prefer desserts and caramelized pork ribs. If you like, you can eat more.”

As expected, enemies meet frequently. Before I could even finish my meal, Crystal sauntered into the dining room glamorously. A bunch of guys was following after her as if they were her bodyguards protecting her. It was a grand spectacle indeed. She raised her chin arrogantly, looking as proud as a queen.

The ones nearest to her were still Benson and Benjamin. I remembered that the two men did not get along well when they were younger. The reason being one was the legitimate child, while the other was illegitimate. Since the age difference between them was very narrow, it was clear that one of them was an illegitimate child.

Regardless of the animosity they felt toward each other, the brothers were still willing to stand together for Crystal, putting their grudges aside to protect her. It could be said that men’s minds were really strange at times.

That being said, Crystal’s thinking was even weirder. Although she had a bunch of eligible bachelors surrounding her, she was still not satisfied. Instead, she insisted on being together with Lyle, but Judging from her expression every time she whispered to me, it did not seem like she loved him a lot as she claimed.

She simply wished that all the men in the world would love her. Honestly, her morals were completely twisted.

When Crystal spotted Lyle, her eyes lit up and she ran toward our table. She said flirtatiously, “Lyle, I’ve been looking for you. Turns out that you’re eating here with Yvonne!”

“Why are you looking for me?” Lyle sounded distant and his tone was exceptionally cold. Crystal’s face sank immediately and an awkward expression crept onto her face. Sitting on the chair looking pitiful, she forced out a smile and asked, “Lyle, there’s going to be a party on the cruise ship at the lake. Let’s go together, okay?”

“I need to accompany Eve, so I’m not free,” rejected Lyle.

“Oh…” Tears brimmed in Crystal’s eyes, threatening to fall. However, she continued forcing out a smile and pretended to be amicable. “Yeah, you should accompany her. After all, Yvonne just had a traumatic experience last night. It’s only natural that you would want to spend more time with her.”

I placed my cutlery down, my appetite completely gone. Gosh, I swear this woman is like gum, always sticking to me wherever I go…
