Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 94

Just as we entered the house, there was the sound of a car from behind. Lyle turned back to look, so I had to stop as well. After all, we were acting like a loving couple. Even if our marriage only existed in name, Grandma had said that the Ziegler family was around. Thus, I had to play the act.

He was clearly also already in character, for he pulled on my hand so hard that I was practically forced to stop. I turned back, noticing the familiar car. It belonged to the Tanners. Nathan and Scarlett walked in hand-in-hand, followed by Yvette. They looked to be a happy family of three.

Natalie and Crystal then came out from the car behind. Crystal was holding on to a man’s arm, who was her male partner for the night. I was a little surprised, for he was Benson, Benjamin’s younger brother.

I had heard that Benson also studied art. Thus, it was not surprising that they met each other while in a university abroad. No wonder when Crystal previously got into trouble, he would come forward to speak up for her. Although she did not have many other skills, she had many men who protected her. Even the Miller family’s two sons were head over heels for her.

Lyle’s grip suddenly tightened around my hand, becoming painful. I glanced over, his expression clearly showing his distress over Crystal holding another man’s arm. He was jealous by then, completely forgetting that he was still holding onto his wife.

“Why don’t you go over and take back your sweetheart?” I said maliciously, my smile full of sarcasm.

Hearing my words, he snapped back to his senses and turned to me, looking as if he were struggling over something. His expression was strange. After a pause, he said, “Do you really want me to do that?”

I was somewhat surprised by his question. Does it even matter whether I do or not? After all, he had never cared about such a thing before. Thus, I smiled and said, “So you do still care about my feelings. Do you need me to act flattered?”

Then, cooperatively, I laughed, my eyes bright and full of happiness. I deliberately whispered, “Lyle, as long as I still have a place in your heart, I’m satisfied.”
