Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 42

I could barely suppress the urge to tell the onlookers it was Yvette’s fault because they wouldn’t stop making fun of me. However, it would not do me any good because that would make it seem like an attempt to blame others for my mistakes.

Out of the blue, Nathan yelled, “Hurry up and go get yourself changed! You’re embarrassing me!”

Within a few seconds, everyone turned around when they heard Christopher gasping out loud. I grabbed the opportunity and made my way. When I turned around, I saw Christopher completely drenched in wine, reprimanding the housekeeper.

I knew it was a favor he had done me to get me out of the nasty situation when I caught a glimpse of him winking at me. He was conscious that I was in desperate need of an opportunity to sneak away.

Once I returned to the garden, I took a seat under the tree and removed my pair of heels. I noticed that my ankle was already swollen. Considering the injuries I had sustained over the past few weeks, I thought my life couldn’t get worse than it already was.

Out of nowhere, someone placed his coat over me. It was a familiar sensation, and upon a simple glimpse, I noticed it was Christopher again. He showed up and greeted me with a mischievous smile, “Can you look after yourself and stop getting into more troubles?”

“Well, isn’t this the almighty Mr. Lane? Thank you so much for your advice.” I intended to express my sincere gratitude, but I accidentally blurted it out in a sarcastic manner.

“Mr. Lane?” He repeated the way I addressed him with his brows furrowed. Irked, he asked in return, “Can you stop acting in front of me? It’s getting on my nerves for real.”

I was rendered speechless because he was right – I had always been a coward around others apart from him. Horrified by the thought of falling in love with him, I was determined to stay away from him to avoid all sorts of uncertainties that would be in store for me.
