Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 4

“I’m here for a free breakfast meal. You don’t mind, right, Yvonne?” It was Christopher. Lyle didn’t have any other close friends besides him, and only Christopher would dare to act so casually around both of us.

Without waiting for a response, he took my utensils from me and started helping himself to the dishes set out on the table.

Lyle gave him a sidelong glance. “Those are hers.”

“Wait, really? Here you go, Yvonne.” Christopher casually handed them back to me. However, I couldn’t just resume eating breakfast using these utensils after he had used them, could I?

When I didn’t take the utensils from him, Lyle spoke up with a slightly sour expression, “It’s fine. Just take them and be more careful next time. People will run their mouths if they see this.”

“You’re right! I’ll make sure to be more careful in the future.” Christopher grinned brightly. “You have to be careful too, Yvonne. If he eats another woman’s food, that would mean he’s cheating on you.”

He then gave me playful wink.

Meanwhile, Lyle had stiffened, his hand frozen mid-air in the midst of flipping a newspaper page.

His reaction satisfied me greatly, but I kept quiet.

After forcing out an awkward cough, Lyle changed the topic to focus back on Christopher. “I haven’t seen you recently. Where’ve you been hanging out?”

“Ugh, don’t bring it up. My friend’s boyfriend cheated on her, so I had to accompany her while she caught him in the act,” Christopher replied casually. “You should have been there to see it! She and an entire group of girls stripped the guy and the homewrecker down to their underwear and paraded them around in the streets. It was a sight.”

Lyle coughed again, turning around to grab a glass of water for his suddenly dry throat.

“Yvonne, if you ever want to go catch him cheating on you, remember to bring along a reporter,” Christopher pressed on. “He absolutely detests reporters.”

As soon as he said that, Lyle accidentally knocked over the glass of water, spilling it all over himself and the counter. I could almost sense the anxiety emanating from him.
