Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 14

I had been married to Lyle for two years, which was also the

amount of time I waited to carry a child. However, I had not

gotten pregnant at all during the past two years. So how did I get

pregnant all of a sudden? Moreover, it happened during the

period in which I had slept with Christopher.

I was overcome with anxiety, for I was not sure who the child

belonged to.

Furthermore, regardless of whether the child was Christopher’s or

Lyle’s, the outcome was not what I had hoped for.

After all, I was already planning to get a divorce, so having a

child would only be an extra burden to me.

Just then, Lyle came back with a glass of water. He carefully

helped me up and said, “Here’s your water, dear. Drink it slowly.

It’s a bit hot.”

Afterward, he gently blew on the water to cool it down before

slowly bringing it close to my mouth. As though he was worried

that I would burn myself, he watched me like a hawk.

Calm down, Yvonne. You have to calm down.

Although I was so nervous that my entire back was drenched with

sweat, I still pretended to be calm as I took the cup. “I can do it

myself.”

In the past, a single greeting from him used to make me happy

for two days. However, his actions only made me feel awkward at

that moment.

Without saying a word, he sat by the bedside and stared at me

until I felt a little uneasy.

I was so worried that he would notice something amiss, and my

palms started sweating. Although I could have finished the glass

in two gulps, I sipped on it for half an hour instead.

Initially, I thought he would lose patience and leave soon.

However, he was in a good mood that day and waited until I

finished drinking.

Since I had no other choice, I could only finish the water and

hand him the cup. After that, I muttered, “I’m a little tired. I’m

going to sleep.”

He then grabbed onto me and said, “Wait a minute. I have

something to ask you.”

Can you not?

Unbeknownst to me, I was gripping my phone tightly in the midst

of my panic, and the screen was displaying Christopher’s contact.

He pulled me into an upright position, and his hands suddenly

I merely replied with an “Oh.”

Unable to figure out what I was thinking, he said, “I won’t do it

again in the future, dear. Please forgive me.”

Yeah, right. However, I kept my thoughts to myself,

merely humming in reply.

He then said, “If there’s anywhere you want to go next time,

remember to tell me. I’ll make time to accompany you.”

The implication in his words was that he still doubted Christopher

and me, and he wanted me to keep a distance from Christopher.

Although I was a little disheartened, I knew that it was for the

best. After all, it was time to put an end to our ambiguous

relationship. “I won’t meet him alone next time.”

With my assurance, he immediately smiled. “That’s my girl.”

Having said that, he pulled me into a hug, wanting to get intimate

with me. However, I wriggled out of his arms. In truth, I wasn’t

angry at him. I merely felt awkward and no longer wanted to

have any physical contact with him.

However, he seemed upset about it. Seeing as he was about to

throw a tantrum, I quickly changed the subject. “I still feel a little

dizzy, Darling. Please help me make a cup of brown sugar tea.”
