The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 

After Cecilia went upstairs, Evan told Christopher, Let’s go.” 

All Christopher felt for Evan was admiration and no fear

He nodded, stood up, and led Evan out of the main building for an aimless stroll

Whenever they chanced upon bodyguards and housekeepers along the way, the staff would all take the initiative to avoid the duo

Evan never spoke, and Christopher wasn’t one to initiate a conversation either. Nonetheless, Christopher still took the initiative to break the silence since Evan was a guest

Evan-” 

As soon as Christopher said the first word, Evan attacked the former

The ferocious punch was swift and merciless, striking straight at Christopher’s face

Evan’s right leg which was full of strength also swept toward Christopher at breakneck speed

It was challenging for ordinary people to dodge a joint attack of punches and kicks

However, Christopher was not ordinary. He was a ruthless man who had been rigorously trained and at death’s door several times

Even though his arm injury was not healed at present, and his leg injury also mildly affected his agility, he still dodged the attack right away

Had the attacker been someone else, he would’ve definitely fought back, but this was Cecilia’s friend, Evan, so he couldn’t really hurt the guy

Regardless, Evan didn’t stop because of Christopher’s retreat and instead became even more aggressive

If you don’t give it your all, you will be beaten.” 

After saying that, Evan opened up his fist and reached for Christopher’s throat

Comprehending that Evan was testing his skills, Christopher held nothing back in his moves either

After all, even if Evan’s skills were inferior to Christopher’s, it wouldn’t be too inadequate. If Christopher backed down, he would only end up getting beaten

Both men were wounded in their relentless attacks and defenses

Meanwhile, Cecilia stood on the balcony of the bedroom and looked in the direction where the two men were

However, due to the distance and the trees blocking, she couldn’t see anything

Despite that, she could imagine what they were doing at the 

moment

When she left Peacekeeping Forces, Evan had said, Ceci, if you meet someone you like in the future, I will beat him into a pulp until he’s scared shitless. That way, he won’t dare to treat you badly.” 

At that time, her tone was confident as she answered, I won’t like anyone. You won’t have the chance to beat people, Evan.” 

In the end, three years later, she found someone she liked, and Evan also got his wish to get into a fight

While thinking of this, Cecilia smiled, her countenance looking unprecedentedly gentle

She looked up at the sky

Quilton was a tourist destination with great greenery and a clear, starry sky

Today was the end of the month, and there was no moonlight, so the stars looked exceptionally bright

In particular, the directionguiding Polaris was like a bright pearl dotting the dark sky

Cecilia stretched out her hand and made a starpicking gesture, then laughed at her own childish behavior

She withdrew her hand, turned back to the bedroom, and went to take a shower

By the time she was done, Christopher and Evan had already returned to the main building

She put on a pair of conservative pajamas and headed downstairs with the medical kit

Christopher and Evan were sitting on the couch and using towels wrapped with ice as cold compresses for their bruises. The two at least didn’t go so far as to hit each other in the face

Therefore, if it weren’t because one of them had their sleeves rolled up while the other lifted the hem of his shirt, no one would be able to tell they were hurt

Cecilia put the medical kit on the coffee table and shot them a sidelong look. Are you two enemies? Why so brutal?” 

From the medical kit, Evan found a bottle of ointment that promoted blood circulation and removed blood stasis and applied it while replying, If we don’t do it for real, how will I know if your boyfriend can really protect you?” 

The word boyfriendsignified that he had approved of the relationship between Christopher and Cecilia

In truth, he simply wanted to test Christopher a little, but unexpectedly, an evenly matched fight was too compelling, thus resulting in their current state

Cecilia glared at Evan and asked, So, do you know now?” 

Of course. Christopher is better than me. If he weren’t injured

I wouldn’t have been his match.” 

He was glad that Christopher could protect Cecilia in the future instead of needing her protection

Cecilia was not at all surprised at the result of their fight

Christopher had been her coach for a month, so she knew exactly what he was capable of

She took out another bottle of ointment for bruises from the medical kit and helped Christopher apply it

Seeing that, Evan wanted Cecilia to take a look at the injury on his back. I can’t reach it. Come help me.” 

So immature!” 

Cecilia didn’t even look at the injury on Evan’s back and continued to apply the ointment to Christopher

Christopher had hurt an arm and couldn’t apply it himself. Evan tutted at the sight of Cecilia, who only had eyes for her boyfriend

Looks like I’ve doted on you for nothing all these years, Cecilia. Now that you have a man, you’ve forgotten all about me.” 

Despite saying that, he was grinning from ear to ear, pleased with Cecilia’s transformation

Don’t worry. I won’t forget you!” 

After applying the ointment to Christopher, Cecilia helped Evan treat the parts that he couldn’t reach

Christopher got up and said, I’ll go make something to eat.He had gotten a little hungry after that strenuous exercise. Just as Cecilia was about to say that she would make it later, Evan requested, I don’t eat frozen food. Cook some pasta.He wanted to try Christopher’s cooking. If Christopher was bad at it, Evan would make the man practice more

Christopher roughly guessed Evan’s intention and nodded in agreement. Okay.” 

After Christopher went to the kitchen, Cecilia patted Evan on the back where he was injured

Evan, his arm hasn’t healed yet, and he’s all bruised up because of you. How could you still make him cook pasta?” 

Cooking pasta didn’t consist of just boiling the pasta itself. One would still have to make the sauce and use a knife
