Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 376

It wasn’t the first time I met Julia after all. She treated me rather well when I was in the hospital, and apart from occasionally being hesitant about my relationship with Christopher, she had never picked a fight with me. She had even cried after hearing about my terminal disease.

She may have been a powerful businesswoman, but she was still sensitive. If not, she wouldn’t have been so sentimental and wouldn’t have been so torn over my marriage with Christopher. When I went to visit his family the last time, she barely said anything offensive. Her attitude today had been truly out of the ordinary.

When I thought about that and how Mitchell had approached the Tanner family, this was all obviously one of the Martin family’s tricks. Mitchell must have told Julia something for her to act so differently from usual.

Is Monica involved in it all?

I didn’t know how to tell Christopher any of this. Honestly, I didn’t want to, but the Tanner family’s problems needed an urgent solution. Even if I didn’t tell him, my father would still have found a way to make a fuss and spoke to him directly.

I was distracted throughout the whole day. Apart from nearly slicing my hand open while making dinner, I was even distracted after the meal when Christopher made his usual advances on me in our bedroom. While thinking about whether to tell Christopher about it, he wrapped my legs around his waist and pinched my face lightly. “How are you still distracted at such a moment? Am I being punished for not satisfying you?”

“No, no, it’s nothing,” I said hurriedly.

After he was finally satisfied, he held me in his arms and let me rest my head against his chest. He caressed my bare back gently and asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve never been this distracted before. Did something happen while I was gone?”

“Nothing. The art exhibition has been pestering me to attend all these parties and get interviewed, and I’m not really up to that but I do want to meet some of my favorite artists,” I randomly strung together an excuse and managed to steer the conversation in that direction. Thankfully, I had something else to talk to Christopher about. He was well-educated on art as well and our conversations about it were usually rather long.

“What’s there to be stressed about? Go if you want to and don’t go if you don’t feel like it. You’re joining the National Youth Art Exhibition and Contest after all, not some random party with nobodies. As for your favorite artists, just tell me their names and I’ll invite them to our house. I can ensure that you’ll see them tomorrow,” Christopher said with a smile.
