Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 134

In the evening, I sneaked my way up the isolated yacht and made my way to the deck. Staring at the sky, I was overwhelmed by a sense of serenity associated with the starry night.

Christopher must be occupied with the guests. Standing on the deck while staring at the sky, I cracked my brain for a befitting quote to compliment the gorgeous scene.

“The moon was but a chin of gold

A night or two ago,

And now she turns her perfect face

Upon the world below.” I nodded in satisfaction and complimented, “I’m such a talented woman! Maybe I can write for a living!”

“Do I have the pleasure to join this talented writer over here? Shall we talk about some philosophical topic such as the beginning of the universe?” Christopher approached me under the bright shaft of moonlight. He seemed to be taller and sturdier than usual.

“Stop making fun of me!” I reprimanded him with my lips pursed. I was glad I hadn’t embarrassed myself in front of others again.

He held me firmly in between his arms and asserted with a smile, “I will never make fun of this lovely woman over here.”

I played along with him and said, “You should consider yourself lucky!”

He tried to show me the way to the edge of the yacht, but I stopped him and shared my concerns with him. “No! I’m afraid of drowning!”

“You don’t have to worry because I’ll always be there to keep you safe!” He showed me his hands, beckoning me to join him with a gentle grin that could easily take my breath away from me.

I stretched my hand in an attempt to get a hold of the stars. Christopher grasped my hand and wrapped his arms around me from behind. “See? It’s not as horrifying as you have imagined. On the contrary, it’s a blessing from mother nature.”

When I stretched my arms to embrace the sky, our action reminded me of a certain scene from a famous movie. “You don’t think you’re the male protagonist of that movie, do you?”

“What do you think? Care to join me for another adventure?” Christopher asked in return.

He was confused because I shook my head shortly after I nodded. Thus, he asked, “Are you willing to join me or not?”

The moment I recalled the movie had ended with a tragic note, I answered with a determined look, “Nope! I won’t join you for this so-called adventure you’re talking about!”
