Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 567

“You’re right. I can do anything for Christopher.” I placed my hand on my heart and cast a gentle gaze downward. My eyes were smiling. “Having met Christopher is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. He’s the one who made me realize the purpose of this life. He’s my source of hope, my motivation. Come what may, I’m not afraid. I’ll do anything for him.”

Lyle was astounded. He guffawed at my expression. “I’m jealous of Christopher. Maybe you’ll find this amusing, but I really envy him. Yvonne, would you do the same if it was me who had gone missing?”

Why is he asking another hypothetical question? If he had asked me the same question back then, I’d refute him without any hesitation. However, he has helped me tremendously this time. Christopher and I owe him one. I changed my tone of voice and answered politely, “You don’t understand. You probably have never tried to get to know the real me.”

I added, “I’m kind to whoever that’s kind to me. Just like how you saved me when I was pushed into the pool. At that time, I told myself that I’ll treat you with utmost gratitude because you saved me when I hit rock bottom.”

I continued, “When Crystal set me up, resulting in me being abducted, Christopher was the one who saved me right before I was assaulted by the thugs. Without him, I don’t exist. I won’t get to be a new school artist nor have the chance to produce the Autumnal Panorama. Lyle, thanks for everything. Let’s continue to be friends henceforth.”

Lyle looked up and gulped down a bottle of water. He held the back of his head and chuckled. Moments later, he said, “Forget about being friends. Let’s do something more practical. Once we get Christopher out of here, you can get him to offer the Smiths more profitable projects as a way to repay me. It’s nice to be a businessman. One can do anything that benefits him.”

Lyle probably doesn’t want to befriend me for I’ve seen him at his worst. Oh well, let it be. This may be the best for both of us. I nodded. “Sure. You’re Christopher’s savior. I bet the Lane family will undoubtedly give you a satisfactory response.”

“What about you?” Looking at me, he suddenly changed the topic.
