Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 459

“There’s no need. I’m just crossing the road to do some shopping at the supermarket on the other side. It’s too near for a drive,” I shook my head and replied to him simply.

Lyle was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “Yvonne, you know what I meant was I would like to talk with you.”

I dropped my shoulders wearily and smiled. “Do you want to talk about starting anew? It’s pointless. It will do no one any good if I piss you off with what I say. You should know that there’s no way we can reconcile.”

“I know I did not treat you well before. I can change. I really can. Yvonne, I…” Lyle said all that in a rush but seeing my cold expression, he stopped.

I looked at the time. It was already half-past four and Christopher would be home by five-thirty. I really had to hurry or I would not be able to get dinner ready. So, I told Lyle, “I need to go to the supermarket or I won’t make it.”

I walked off on my own. Lyle did not try to hold me back, but he followed me, instead. The supermarket was rather crowded. I stood in front of the counter, looked for a while, and picked some spare rib. I bought some crabs too. The crabs looked big, so they should be tender and taste great.

“I remember that you don’t like crabs,” Lyle stood nearby, trying to make conversation.

I smiled, answering softly, “Chris likes crabs, so I learned a few ways of cooking them. Though he doesn’t like ribs, he enjoys eating them with me. So, I often cook these two dishes.”

Lyle stopped talking and just followed me around patiently. I browsed around in the supermarket for a while and bought a lot of things. When I held them in my hands, Lyle offered to help me but I declined.

When we returned to the apartment, I did not rush to go up but lingered near the lift entrance. I turned around and told Lyle, “You should get going. If Chris sees us, he won’t be pleased. Even though he will not suspect me, I don’t like displeasing him.”
