Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 135

“Why?” Christopher held his head against mine.

“Because I want to be together with the one I love, instead of living out the rest of my life reminiscing the passion we once had. That is why, I refuse to be Lucy, who fell deeply in love and lived in the ghost of her memories.”

I was a simple person after all. Crazy infatuation and enthralling romance were not my thing. I was only looking for a calm and peaceful life—a husband who loved me and had a steady job. We would do house chores together, and quarrel over trifling matters. My husband would then coax me after the fight and we would be all right again. Sometime down the road, we would build a family together, and nurture our child with love.

So, I said, “A simple life is a happy life.”

“You’re way too easy to satisfy, woman. I’d feel really unaccomplished this way. Why do I have to earn so much money if you desire nothing?” Christopher looked frustrated.

“Damn, you rich people!” I gritted my teeth and glared at him. “How rich is your family, exactly? I used to think that the Miller family was rich. They would always organize birthday parties at holiday resorts. I dared not imagine how loaded your family is; it’s just going to come as a shock to me.”

“Hmm, I really can’t answer your question as I’m normally not the one in charge of the finances. My mother is the one to take care of it all, but she’s been trying to get me involved in the matter recently. I rejected her, and she’s still mad at me.”

Christopher cupped his chin and did some calculations in his head. In the end, he concluded, “Anyway, there’s no problem for me to take care of you. Yvonne, you can have meat and mead every single day and I won’t go broke—I can promise you that.”

“What happens if I throw away one drink with every glass I take, and toss one serving away with every serving of meat I eat? Will that work too?” I teased the man.

“Sure, whatever floats your boat.”

I broke into a chuckle. “Christopher, how could you spoil me like that? Are you going to be responsible when I turn into a spoilt brat?”

“Of course I will.”
