Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 225

“No, my colleagues and manager at the office are very nice to me. I’m just tired of going to work. You gave me an invitation, no? I’m thinking of just trying my hand at painting and joining the selection this time. What do you think?” I murmured with a smile.

“Sure. No matter your choice, I’ll support you.” Christopher didn’t pursue the question further.

In truth, I was planning to look for a job. I decided not to tell him about the trivial matter of me having been dismissed. After all, I would lose him in the end if he were destined to be engaged to Monica, so I had to learn to stand on my own two feet.

Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to be independent. Just like before, there were plenty of jobs available. I wasn’t picky, so I didn’t mind even if it were delivering newspapers or parcels as long as I could support myself. It was no secret that I was the ex-wife of Lyle Smith in the entire Avenport, so those white-collar employees naturally resented having me work at their office.

After having disappeared for a few days, Sabrina suddenly appeared at the door of my apartment. She was dressed much more conservatively than before, with her dress falling below her knees. Nonetheless, her long and slender legs were still very alluring. Her makeup wasn’t as heavy as before, the subtle enhancement rendering her refreshing and incredibly stunning.

I was gobsmacked the moment I laid eyes on her. Whoa! Love is truly something else. It has transformed a tantalizing beauty, who once radiated bold sultriness, into an innocent maiden!

“Hey! Is it necessary to stare at me for such a long time when I’ve just changed my dressing and makeup style? No matter how intent you scrutinize me, you can’t compare to my beauty.” Sabrina nudged me with a snort.

“Indeed, I’m no match for your beauty. I was just astonished. Have you always had feelings for Zachary? There seemed to be sparks flying between the two of you back at Lane residence then.”

“Hmm? Aren’t men very much aggressive in this aspect?” I rubbed my chin. Well, comparing Christopher with him, they’re as different as chalk and cheese!

“Aggressive, my foot! He’ll even blush when we hold hands. Worse still, he forbade us from wearing matching outfits and hugging on the streets. Even kissing is only allowed after meeting my parents, and sex is reserved for after marriage. Last night, he even told me in all seriousness that the only things we’ll be doing, now that we’re dating, are holding hands, going to the movies, and having meals together. That’s all!”

Sabrina then threw herself onto the couch in a huff. “I feel really defeated. I’ve offered myself to him on a silver platter, yet he’s still unmoved. Is he a saint?”

“What an innocent man!” I exclaimed in admiration, my eyes going wide. Ah, he sounds exactly like the kind of man who’s particularly responsible! When a woman marries him, she’ll definitely have no fear that he’ll fool around outside.
