Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 22

Needless to say, I didn‘t believe Christopher‘s sweet-nothings. Although we overstepped the boundary of
friends, I was well aware that I was only using him to
take revenge on Lyle. Besides, I had only done it because
he was drunk and didn‘t give me a chance to say no that
night.
Moreover, I dared not think about the prospect of getting
a divorce and marrying Christopher. After giving all my
love and affection to Lyle, I was now left with nothing.
Although I had feelings for Christopher, I knew it was
merely due to the overwhelming loneliness and sorrow.
Given that I didn‘t respond, Christopher didn‘t dwell on it
and continued to hug me on the bed. He took off my
clothes against my will, saying that sleeping naked was
good for my health. Knowing that he wouldn‘t harm me, I
let him have his way. As I was exhausted after crying for
a long time, I eventually fell asleep in his arms.
I had never imagined that I would sleep naked alongside
a man who wasn‘t my husband. It felt surreal because we
didn‘t actually do anything else other than sleeping.
I had a sound sleep without any dreams. The moment I
woke up, I heard a doctor and a nurse talking. Startled, I

opened my eyes to realize that Christopher had already
left. When I looked down and saw that I was fully
dressed, I heaved a sigh of relief.
Deep down, my impression of Christopher improved a lot.
Not only was he thoughtful enough to consider things
from all aspects, but he was also aware of my
reservations about certain things.
The doctor and nurse looked at me sympathetically when
they noticed the bruises on my neck. I was unsure what
they discussed, but I knew that I had become the talk of
the hospital.
I had stayed in the ward for almost a day, but Lyle was
nowhere to be seen, and there wasn‘t even a single call
from him. By then, I had given up on Lyle completely.
When he finally visited me at night, I pulled a long face.
―Eve, I‘m so sorry for overreacting yesterday. Can you
forgive me? By the way, I‘ve brought your favorite cake
here.‖ Lyle put the cake on the table and wore a warm
smile as usual.
I almost burst into laughter. You hit your wife and caused
her to suffer severe blood loss, yet you have the cheek to
say that you merely overreacted? Whenever he said such
words in the past, I would feel moved. But now, all I felt
was disgust.
Since when did Lyle become so hypocritical? Well,
perhaps I was blinded by love back then.
―Come and try this strawberry cake. I remembered that
you liked it.‖ Lyle took a chunk of the cake with a fork
and put it near my mouth. Much to his surprise, I turned
away and ignored him.
Every word he said yesterday was imprinted in my mind,
and I couldn‘t pretend as though nothing happened. As
expected, Lyle was irritated. He threw the fork away and
asked impatiently, ―I‘ve apologized to you. What else do
you want?‖
He always apologized a few days after he mistreated me.
