Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 220

Out of nowhere, a large hand forcefully pulled me back onto the walkway, and I crashed face-first into a familiar embrace. My nose hurt from the impact, but all I could do was stand there frozen as I stared up at Christopher.

“Let go of her!” roared Lyle.

“Yvonne is mine. Not someone for you to push around and bully like that. I’d advise you to watch yourself, or else I will be forced to take severe measures against you.” Christopher’s chest rumbled as he spoke, one arm wrapped around my waist. However, my heart didn’t skip a beat as it would have in the past.

“What the hell are you talking about? Yvonne is my wife! You’re already engaged to someone else, so don’t try to play around with her feelings any longer, Christopher! I’m not scared of you just because you’re from the Lane family!” Lyle walked up to us, trying to pry the two of us apart.

Instinctively, my arms tightened around Christopher’s body. If this was the last time I was able to touch and hug this large, broad body, then I was going to make the most out of this moment. At the very least, I wouldn’t feel as upset in the future when I looked back on this moment.

Perhaps I should be relieved that the news of Christopher and Monica’s engagement had been made public through the mass media, instead of me having to witness it with my very own eyes.

“Correction. She’s your ex-wife. If you didn’t cherish her enough back then, you don’t get the chance to do so now,” Christopher responded coldly. “Besides, your fiancée is right behind you.”

Lyle and I both looked behind him at the same time. Crystal was standing there since who-knows-when, staring at all of us anxiously as if trying to figure out how and where she should insert herself into our altercation.

“Come on, Lyle. You shouldn’t try to help Yvonne if she clearly has other ideas. She’s not going to accept your help even if you insist on it.” Looping her arm through Lyle’s, she looked up at him with puppy-dog eyes. “The baby and I are both getting hungry. Let’s go and eat, okay?”

“You be careful!” With those parting words, Lyle finally led Crystal away from the scene.
