Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 360

“We are very glad that you came to visit our home, Christopher. That being said, you shouldn’t utter such a blatant lie in front of everyone just to protect Yvonne. She’s a divorcée who cheated on her ex-husband. You really shouldn’t get yourself involved with the likes of her.” Natalie was doing her best to disparage me in front of everyone.

“Besides, everyone in Avenport knows that Ms. Martin is the only one for you. Both of you are destined to be together,” she added.

Christopher gave her a cold stare and responded, “Whether she’s an adulterer or not, I’ll be the judge of that. I pity Eve for having to deal with an aunt like you. It must’ve been very hard for her. Oh, by the way, I still remember what your daughter did on that deserted island. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to return the favor one day.”

“I…” Glancing at Christopher’s menacing eyes, Natalie was reticent to say anything.

Christopher turned around to face Benjamin’s father before uttering, “Mr. Miller, regarding the whole incident between your son and Eve, we’ll settle this in private, okay? I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

Mr. Miller glanced at me with disdain before turning toward Christopher. “Well, since you put it that way, we’ll let Ms. Tanner go for now. Humph! Let’s go.”

After Mr. Miller took his men and left, the crowd surrounded us and was staring at us. I felt like I was being judged by them. A young lady who was standing on my left murmured, “Impossible. I must be dreaming right now. There’s no way a woman like Yvonne is fit to be with Christopher.”

I signaled Christopher to disperse the crowd by giving him a little bump on the shoulder. How did it come to this? I thought we could be furtive about this. Just 10 minutes in and our relationship has already been exposed. This is not looking good.
