Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 83

I sighed and said helplessly, “But he’s my father. He used to carry me on his shoulders when I was younger and we’d catch butterflies in the garden. He loved me so much back then. I always thought that he has a bottom line no matter how much he hated me. But it seems like I overestimated my worth. I feel so, so cold, Christopher. What should I do? I can’t seem to calm down.”

“You silly. Remember, but when you feel like you have nothing, remember that you still have me.” The sweet words that came from him sounded so beautiful.

At that moment, all I wanted to do was throw myself into his arms and hide within his safe harbor. So I said to him, “I have nothing now, but where are you?”

“Right behind you.” To my surprise, his voice sounded like he was closer to me than before.

I quickly turned to look and saw Christopher standing by the water fountain. Sunlight from the setting sun shone on him and it made him look as though he had stepped out of a painting.

His shadow was stretched long by the sun.

I probably wouldn’t be able to forget this scene because he looked so handsome. It was as if the Gods saw that my heart was filled with sorrow so they sent me a prince.

I rushed towards him without any hesitation and threw myself into his arms. I buried my face in his chest and took in the familiar scent of tobacco. I finally calmed down in his warm embrace. It didn’t matter how big of a storm there was because his embrace was my safe haven.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere.” Christopher held my hand and led me away. He walked very carefully and was protecting me in his arms, afraid that the pedestrians nearby would bump into me. I just needed to follow in his footsteps. I didn’t need to worry about anything else.
