Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 304

“For my own good?” Christopher scowled with a steely expression. “I can’t believe you locked Yvonne up. Did you think that would stop me? I’d rather die than marry another woman. Yvonne is the only girl I’ll ever love. If you guys want someone else so badly, you guys can go get married. I’m never going to love another woman the same way I love Yvonne, and I know she’ll say the same!”

“You and Yvonne are i-incompatible,” Julia said as she turned around to hide her guilt from Christopher. “As parents, we only ever do things for your own good. Can’t you trust us? If we hadn’t stopped your brother back then, can you imagine how humiliated he would have gotten? Are you going to make us go through that again?”

Julia couldn’t help but start crying again as she spoke.

Christopher’s steely gaze softened at the sight of his mother’s tears. He pointed to his wound and said steely, “Mom, you have no idea how good of a person Yvonne is. She deserves more love than it is humanly possible to give. Look at this wound. Do you think I’d have been able to live on a deserted island for a week with this injury if I were alone?”

His voice softened further at the mention of Yvonne, and his eyes warmed up with a hint of a smile. “The time I spent on that island was the most hopeless I’d ever been. We had only live fish to eat that we had to catch with our bare hands. Since I was out of commission, Yvonne was the one who had to catch the food for us even though she was afraid of water. She used all the clear water we had to clean my injuries and to keep me hydrated. She searched throughout the whole island for any edible roots and herbs every day, and even though she must have been dying of thirst, she never once wasted a drop or took any for herself.”

Julia could sense Yvonne’s determination through Christopher’s simple descriptions. She could tell how brave Yvonne had to be to go through all of that for Christopher.

If Julia were in Yvonne’s place, she wouldn’t have been able to do the same thing. She couldn’t fathom why someone would go to such great lengths for someone who was about to die. But there Yvonne was, still willing to butt heads with them.
