Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 253

I quickly opened the door and ran out, not stopping until I reached the third floor. With my heart pounding in my chest, I shut the door behind me.

Earlier on, Christopher’s friend teased him for being gay. I couldn’t believe that I had just witnessed two gay men having sex, and it was a jarring sight.

I couldn’t sleep, so I lay in bed with flushed cheeks. After a long while, Christopher finally returned. He appeared disheveled as though he had gotten into a fight, and there were even bruises on his arm. I quickly went to retrieve the first aid kit and tended to his wounds.

Christopher leaned back on the couch with his eyes half-closed. A moment later, a message popped up on his phone. At a glance, I saw that it was a picture of a man. As I looked at the picture, it dawned on me that the person seemed familiar, so I asked, “Who’s that?”

Christopher replied, “He’s the bad guy. Please be careful in the next couple of days, and try not to go out, Eve. Once the ship docks at Summerbank’s port, you’ll disembark first. I have a few matters to take care of.”

I remembered his other identity and had the recollection of the horrible gaping wound in his chest. I couldn’t help but start to worry as I asked softly, “Is it dangerous?”

“Don’t worry about me. Nothing bad will happen to me.” He played absently with a few strands of my hair as he explained further, “Sean’s cover has been blown, so it’s not easy for him to get into action. Since I happen to be more famous, those people won’t keep their guards up around me. I couldn’t possibly watch my friends get into danger. I hope you can understand that.”

I nodded with a heavy heart. “I understand. I can’t help but worry. You have to be careful, Chris. Whatever you do, please remember that I’ll be waiting for you to come back to me.”

Christopher looked at me, and he suddenly burst into laughter. “What were you thinking, Eve? We’re just dealing with a cunning man, and we’re laying low to avoid raising suspicion. Were you thinking of me as a lonesome hero in some gunfight movie?”

Is that not the case? I blinked in confusion.
