Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 288

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Lane. It’s very kind of you to offer me such a thing, but I cannot accept this.” I did not want the Lane family to be indebted toward me, nor did I want to be their goddaughter. I loved Christopher, and nothing would ever change that.

“Why not you sleep on it?” Julia insisted with a faint smile, “Think about your future. You’ll regret this when you’re older.”

“I understand what you mean, Mrs. Lane, but I’ve already made up my mind. I know what I want. I’m sorry I’ve disappointed you.” I turned and looked at the caretaker, signaling her to push me out of the garden.

I thought about what the woman said as I left. I knew what she meant. She wanted me to give up my relationship with Christopher because I was far from being the best wife candidate for him. In her eyes, only someone like Monica would be good enough for him, but she was wrong.

Christopher and I had been through life and death together. We had stuck with each other throughout, and nothing would stand in our way—not even his family.

Although what she said was sensible and unoffending, and I could understand her heart as a mother, I stood my ground and refused to budge.

When I saw Christopher again, he was sleeping soundly on the bed. I reached out to touch his face and play with his eyelashes. “Hey, are you still gonna continue sleeping? I’m already surrounded on all fronts by our enemies. Are you not gonna do anything?”

The man moved away uncomfortably and grunted, “Run, Eve. Run…”

I was overjoyed to see that he was awake. I leaned closer and whispered softly, “I’m here, Christopher. We’re safe. We’re at the hospital now.”

Christopher held my hand tightly without replying, and that was when I realized he was just dreaming. A wave of emotions washed over me as I looked at him, and I cupped my hands around his. “I’m fine, Christopher. I’ll stay with you. I won’t ever leave you. You said you’ll treat me like your queen the day you put a ring on my finger. I’ll stay right here and make sure you keep your promise.”
