Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 37

When I was young, I had to brace myself through all sorts of humiliations because no one was there for me. Although that was still the case, I no longer needed others’ backings because I could rely on myself.

Irked, Yvette gasped out her reply with her face puckered in irritation, “Yvonne, what makes you think you’re in a position to pick on me? Have you no shame at all? Crystal is the only one who deserves Lyle!”

Christopher had taught me silence would be the best response to a fool. As I winced in silence, Yvette could no longer keep herself calm. She sprinted over in an attempt to slap me in the face.

I took a step back to evade the slap. In return, I warned her in a hushed voice, “If you don’t want to hurt yourself, you better keep that side of yours to yourself since most of the guests are here for you.”

Thrilled to be able to get the better of Yvette for once, I sprinted in the direction of the courtyard and made up my mind to defend myself from that day onwards. I was about to take a breather and spend some time alone, but I accidentally bumped into someone.

I staggered and thought I would embarrass myself again because of the pair of heels I couldn’t get used to. However, a man wrapped his arm around my waist in the nick of time. I felt a strong urge to push him away but paused when I caught a whiff of a familiar scent.

It was the scent of tobacco exclusive to that man. I gaped at the presence of Christopher and tried to push him away to prevent drawing unnecessary attention. Nonetheless, he grasped me with all his might and leaned over, whispering in a hoarse voice, “I miss you so much because it has been quite a few days since our last meeting.”

“Hurry up and move away from me!” Afraid others would run into us, I started shuddering in fear. The reason I had an affair with another man was just to provoke Lyle.

“No. Not unless you give in to my demand!” Christopher rubbed his chest against mine. He could take advantage of me because the evening gown I had put on was quite a revealing piece.

“What do you want from me?” I was about to burst into tears when the things awaiting me should others run into us crossed my mind. Since Crystal was back, I was certain Lyle would try something silly again. In other words, I had to ensure he wouldn’t be able to accuse me of having an affair.

“I want to finish off… Forget it. I want you to go on a date with me tomorrow!” Christopher groped my bottom and nibbled my earlobes with a cheeky look.

He brought up another request out of the blue. As confused as I was, I wasn’t in the mood to figure out the rationale he stopped talking about the message he had received.

As I couldn’t wait to wrap up the session, I nodded and promised him, “Alright! As long as I have time, I’ll meet you for a date!”

“Great!” Christopher beamed in satisfaction and licked my earlobe. That had always been the most sensitive region that could easily arouse me. I could feel my legs turning to jelly as I started flushing.

The moment he moved away from me, he licked his lips and announced with a smirk, “Tastes great!”

“You’re such a jerk!” I took a few steps back with fear written all over my face. In the end, I fled the scene because I couldn’t stand being around him anymore. I was grateful he had chosen the right place for the session. The courtyard was the most desolate place in Tanner residence – others would have to make their way through the woods to reach us.

As I was in a hurry, I bumped into another person on my way back to the banquet hall. Immediately, I apologized for not paying attention. I couldn’t believe I had bumped into two people, twice in a row, at my own home.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

When I raised my head and saw the man, I found him familiar but had a hard time recalling the time I encountered him. I kept apologizing as the stranger helped me up. Unable to rule out the possibility I had lost my sense of direction since this was my own home, I secretly blamed Christopher for messing around with me.
