Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 265

Christopher’s fever subsided at daybreak. I heaved a sigh of relief and took the strip of cloth from his forehead. At the same time, the sun rose from the horizon, covering the earth with its light.

As its golden rays pierced through the veil of night, the sea turned a beautiful shade of reddish-gold. Far, far into the horizon, the sea captured the reflection of the sun on its surface. If I didn’t look closely, I wouldn’t know which was the sun, and which was the reflection. The new dawn brought with it a gentle breeze that brushed against the ocean, sending ripples flowing everywhere.

It was the first time I saw such a gorgeous sunrise. It would have been a romantic sight if not for the hellscape I was in.

Christopher was leaning on my shoulder. “Nice sunrise,” he croaked.

“Yeah, but it’s nothing on you.” I touched his cheek and brushed my fingers across his face. Come to think of it, I’ve never taken a good look at him before.

Christopher was amused by my response. “Someone has a glib tongue today. You never praised me before.”

“And I’m still not praising you, because it’s the truth.” I rubbed my face against his cheek to calm myself down. Can we really last until the rescue team’s arrival?

“I know; I’m hot.” Christopher chuckled, but even a simple movement like that was tearing his wound open, so he shut his mouth on the spot. “Eve, do you know what it means when someone flashes his car’s spotlights three times?” he suddenly asked.

I nodded seriously. “Yes, but I’m not telling you the answer yet. Let’s save it until we get home. And tell me what’s the relationship between airplanes and love.”

“Sure.” Christopher kissed me lightly, but before he could retreat, I held his cheek and returned a deep kiss. His lips are freezing. He would have kissed me back, but now…

After our lips parted, Christopher jokingly said, “I see you love to show your affection in public. What a little tease you are. I bet you won’t be this daring when we’re alone, but please make the first move next time. You’ll be on top, and I’ll be at the bottom.”
