Love Coming from the Least Expected

Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 30
When I was roused from sleep in the afternoon,
Christopher was nowhere to be seen anymore. I had long
gotten used to him disappearing into thin air without
informing me beforehand. If it weren‘t because we were
acquainted, I would‘ve thought he was a criminal or
something.
The lavish presidential suite had been furnished with all
sorts of luxurious items. While brushing my teeth, I
started wondering if I had enough with me to pay for the
room since I left in a hurry without my wallet last night.
It turned out those were none of my concerns because
someone had settled the bill in advance. The staff
brought me a brand-new set of clothes and my brunch
when I woke up.
He handed over a bowl of soup and said, ―Miss, please
finish this before leaving.ǁ
Upon a simple glimpse, I noticed it was the soup I had
been craving for when I was kept grounded in the
hospital.
I could feel my eyes started brimming with tears because
of the things Christopher had done when Lyle didn‘t even
bother to bring me one. Can you stop flirting with me
when you‘re no longer around? It feels bad to feel great!
I‘m afraid the day to say goodbye will hurt so much
because of the great memories we have!
Although it was a relatively ordinary soup, I gulped the
entire bowl down within seconds. Once I finished the
soup, I remarked, ―Please let the chef know it‘s slightly
under seasoned to my likings.ǁ
The staff responded with a smile in silence. I stopped

poking my nose into their business and left once I
retrieved my bag. If I had turned around for one last
time, I would have seen Christopher at the entrance with
the staff that had approached right next to him.
Sometime after Christopher and I got married, he then
told me he was the owner of the hotel. In other words,
he had personally prepared the soup for me.
As a housewife, I wouldn‘t have to worry about being
late. I departed after dropping by the headquarter of the
Smith family and then handed over the signed contract to
the receptionist.
When I switched on my phone, I was in a foul mood
because of the nasty messages from Lyle. I couldn‘t help
but wonder if things had gotten to the point of no return
for us.
While losing myself in a train of thoughts, I received
another call from him. After a few seconds of hesitation, I
picked it up and asked, ―Yes?ǁ
It was evident that Lyle, who was on the other end, was
taken aback by my callous tone. He remarked
sarcastically in return, ―What? Are you trying to get rid of
your husband after spending a night with Christopher? I
can‘t believe he has a thing for a loose woman like you!ǁ
I could no longer suppress my wrath when he started
insulting me. ―I‘m so sorry to let you down, but I‘m not
as capable as you! There‘s no way I‘m going to engage in
such a raunchy session after a miscarriage! Why does it
sound like you‘re the one who‘s having the best time of
your life without me?ǁ
―Are you trying to deceive me again? If that wasn‘t the
case, why had you switched off your phone? Where were
you?ǁ

―Why? Am I supposed to make my way back and allow
you to humiliate me with another woman you have
brought home?ǁ I couldn‘t be bothered by his remarks
anymore. It turned out I was capable of defending myself
all along. Unfortunately, I had to learn my lesson the
hard way.
After a few seconds of pause, I added, ―Shall we stop
picking on one another when we‘re pretty much the
same? Since you consider me a loose woman, why don‘t
you hit on Crystal and see if she‘s going to take you
seriously?ǁ
―Shut your mouth and stop insulting Crystal!ǁ the
infuriated man yelled at me in return. If I was next to
him, I would have been slapped in the face again.
Crystal was the one he was head over heels in love with.
Over the years, he would make a trip to Anglandur to
celebrate her birthday. I had never once confronted him
because I wasn‘t a match for her in many aspects.
