Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 22

Needless to say, I didn’t believe Christopher’s sweet-nothings. Although we overstepped the boundary of friends, I was well aware that I was only using him to take revenge on Lyle. Besides, I had only done it because he was drunk and didn’t give me a chance to say no that night.

Moreover, I dared not think about the prospect of getting a divorce and marrying Christopher. After giving all my love and affection to Lyle, I was now left with nothing. Although I had feelings for Christopher, I knew it was merely due to the overwhelming loneliness and sorrow.

Given that I didn’t respond, Christopher didn’t dwell on it and continued to hug me on the bed. He took off my clothes against my will, saying that sleeping naked was good for my health. Knowing that he wouldn’t harm me, I let him have his way. As I was exhausted after crying for a long time, I eventually fell asleep in his arms.

I had never imagined that I would sleep naked alongside a man who wasn’t my husband. It felt surreal because we didn’t actually do anything else other than sleeping.

I had a sound sleep without any dreams. The moment I woke up, I heard a doctor and a nurse talking. Startled, I opened my eyes to realize that Christopher had already left. When I looked down and saw that I was fully dressed, I heaved a sigh of relief.

Deep down, my impression of Christopher improved a lot. Not only was he thoughtful enough to consider things from all aspects, but he was also aware of my reservations about certain things.

The doctor and nurse looked at me sympathetically when they noticed the bruises on my neck. I was unsure what they discussed, but I knew that I had become the talk of the hospital.

I had stayed in the ward for almost a day, but Lyle was nowhere to be seen, and there wasn’t even a single call from him. By then, I had given up on Lyle completely. When he finally visited me at night, I pulled a long face.

“Eve, I’m so sorry for overreacting yesterday. Can you forgive me? By the way, I’ve brought your favorite cake here.” Lyle put the cake on the table and wore a warm smile as usual.
