Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 64

As soon as Christopher left, Sabrina came in from outside. She had on an amused look as she said mysteriously, “You’re good, Eve. You managed to find such a handsome guy. He’s got a good figure and is talented. If I didn’t already have someone in my heart, I would’ve wanted to steal him from you. No wonder you hugged and kissed him at the clubhouse then. It turns out you two already had some relations.”

“There’s nothing going on between us. Don’t misunderstand anything.”

Although I reflexively denied her words, it made me feel like I was a hypocritical person. Christopher and Sabrina had gone to the restaurant to help me, and he even brought me back and took care of me the whole night. Thus, unless the entire world were full of fools, even I felt like a hypocrite if I still said that there was nothing between us. I laughed dryly before shutting my mouth.

“Come on, you’re still pretending in front of me? I’ve never liked Lyle, so if you have something going on with Christopher, I’d be very happy. Compared to Lyle, he’s so much better.”

Her expression was full of interest as she smiled happily down at me. In reality, I knew she really was happy for me. She had always disliked Lyle and was reluctant to be friends with him. If it were not for me, she would not even bother about him.

“But he’s Christopher. He has relationships with many other women. I don’t know what to do,” I replied. His identity was indeed a big issue. Furthermore, when he had gotten involved with me, there were many different women by his side.

“What’s the problem? Before a man confirms his relationship with a woman, he’s free. As long as he doesn’t mess around once the relationship’s confirmed, it’s fine. This is especially important when you’re married.”

She touched her chin then pointed to the half-finished fish soup on the counter. “Look, a man like him is willing to cook for a woman. He has to like you for real. Otherwise, who’d want to put on such an act.”

She spoke in a very reasoned manner, and I did find that her words made sense. However, I still could not help but tease, “You’re speaking as if you know him well. Before this, you didn’t even know his identity, but you kept saying good things about him. You don’t seem scared that I’ll fall into another trap.”

She smirked, looking at me in disbelief. “Can anything be worse than your current state?”

I was speechless at her question. You see, there was indeed no one else who had it worse than me. Yvette stole my home, and Crystal stole my lover. Furthermore, the lover in question abandoned me without another word. Thus, the easiest solution was to leave with nothing, yet I still had to be labeled as a cheater.

“Sabby, I’m already so miserable, but you’re still attacking me? How can you do this to me!” I mumbled, clutching at my heart with an expression full of setback and hopelessness.

Sabrina nudged me. “Don’t give me that. I’m not your husband. It’s useless to act cute to me. I merely want to snap you out of it in case you still want to stay with Lyle.”

I could not help but let out a bitter smile at that. Since things had already turned out that way, if I still did not give up, the word “cheap” would no longer be enough to describe me. I was human, not a machine. I felt pain and sadness and also needed others’ comfort and care, not merely blind effort.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go back and talk to Grandma about the divorce. This time, no matter what happens, I won’t give up,” I replied.

“I sure hope so. May you have the gods’ blessings!” She exaggeratedly put her palms together and raised them toward the sky. Then, when she heard the sound of a key in the lock, she blinked at me.

“There’s now a good man who will take care of you. Seize the opportunity. I will no longer be the third wheel here. Hope you two have a good evening.”

She smiled slyly as she passed by Christopher, who had just entered. Simultaneously, they both patted each other on the back before one entered the bedroom while the other left. The scene left me feeling weird. Since when were they so familiar with each other? Sabrina hated playboys, which was why Christopher was the top person she most refused to communicate with in the past.

“Here you go, your lollipop!” Christopher had gone very far away to get a box of lollipops for me. In reality, it was tough to buy that specific brand. When I was little, I used to eat it a lot. However, the manufacturer later closed down, so I could not find it any longer. Who knew where he had even bought it.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
