Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 14

I had been married to Lyle for two years, which was also the amount of time I waited to carry a child. However, I had not gotten pregnant at all during the past two years. So how did I get pregnant all of a sudden? Moreover, it happened during the period in which I had slept with Christopher.

I was overcome with anxiety, for I was not sure who the child belonged to.

Furthermore, regardless of whether the child was Christopher’s or Lyle’s, the outcome was not what I had hoped for.

After all, I was already planning to get a divorce, so having a child would only be an extra burden to me.

Just then, Lyle came back with a glass of water. He carefully helped me up and said, “Here’s your water, dear. Drink it slowly. It’s a bit hot.”

Afterward, he gently blew on the water to cool it down before slowly bringing it close to my mouth. As though he was worried that I would burn myself, he watched me like a hawk.

Calm down, Yvonne. You have to calm down.

Although I was so nervous that my entire back was drenched with sweat, I still pretended to be calm as I took the cup. “I can do it myself.”

In the past, a single greeting from him used to make me happy for two days. However, his actions only made me feel awkward at that moment.

Without saying a word, he sat by the bedside and stared at me until I felt a little uneasy.

I was so worried that he would notice something amiss, and my palms started sweating. Although I could have finished the glass in two gulps, I sipped on it for half an hour instead.

Initially, I thought he would lose patience and leave soon. However, he was in a good mood that day and waited until I finished drinking.

Since I had no other choice, I could only finish the water and hand him the cup. After that, I muttered, “I’m a little tired. I’m going to sleep.”

He then grabbed onto me and said, “Wait a minute. I have something to ask you.”

Can you not?

Unbeknownst to me, I was gripping my phone tightly in the midst of my panic, and the screen was displaying Christopher’s contact.

He pulled me into an upright position, and his hands suddenly reached out to hold my shoulders.
