Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 185

I sprayed some air freshener in the ward, and just after Darius came inside, I dashed out of it immediately without turning my head despite Christopher calling out after me. I just couldn’t face Darius.

It was all Christopher’s fault, him and his sweet-talk, the way he said it was best if he could just feel himself inside of me.

I fell for his puppy eyes as he went on about how we had not seen each other for over a week, and how he was bedridden after the excruciating week. It had been almost half a month since his package had seen any action, and how he was getting blue balls from the lack of it.

Weak-minded as I was, I could not resist him and relented. I blushed furiously at the thought and took a seat right beside Zachary who was just standing there. “Has Darius been here for a while?”

Zachary nodded. “It’s been over two hours.”

That meant that Darius had been waiting for us to finish our business for more than two hours. I smiled dryly at the realization.

“Why didn’t you knock? We were just about to start two hours ago. It wouldn’t be that awkward if you guys had interrupted us then.”

“Darius said it’s best to not interrupt you two, but he didn’t expect for it to last that long.” Zachary peered at me, still stern-faced. “I think you should remind Chris to take it easy these days. He needs to take good care of himself.”

A sense of despair washed over me as the shame kicked in. Even though Zachary and Darius did not cast sideways glance at us, it somehow made me feel even more self-conscious.

Just look where your carnal lust has brought you, Yvonne.

At the sight of Zachary standing right there like a statue, guarding Christopher’s ward, I suddenly felt an urge to burst into a chuckle. What an upright man.

He was there to make sure Christopher was safe. So, the man ended up standing guard right outside the ward almost every hour of the day, except for the night where there would be a change of shift.

I fidgeted nervously while in the café as my brain went into overdrive imagining the myriad of possibilities of what Darius was going to say. Would he slam on the table and demand me to steer clear of his brother, or would he seem nonchalant, but actually had a plan of driving me to leave Christopher on my own?

The possibilities were endless as my brain went wild, sending me into a daze. I did not pay attention to what he was actually saying, and Darius had to call me a few times to get my attention before I finally snapped out of it.

“Ms. Tanner? Yvonne?”

I regained my composure and noticed that he was fishing something out of his bag, and I felt a catch in my throat. Assuming that he was going to offer me something so that I would break up with Christopher, I waved my hands in a dignified manner and said, “Darius, there is no need for you to take the thing out. I will not leave Christopher unless he breaks up with me.”

Darius cleared his throat at my remark and regarded me for a while before taking a handkerchief out of his bag to wipe his hand and smiled. “I’ve noticed that how Chris pays special attention to you at the party. So, I wasn’t imagining things. When did it start?”

“Half a year ago,” I admitted and lowered my head like a guilty child. I paused for a moment before asking tactfully, “Darius, are you going to give me a check and demand that I leave Christopher?”
