Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 440

Christopher was amused when he looked at my glum expression as though the world was falling apart. To lighten the mood, he made a face and poked softly at my cheek. I smacked his hand and said anxiously, “Stop being silly! Can’t you tell I’m worried?”

The man smiled slyly. “Don’t you worry. I have everything under control. You’ve overestimated Monica’s capability. She can’t even get to Darius, let alone me. For now, you just need to sit back, relax, and follow your dear husband’s lead for the evening.”

Lyle and I had our wedding ceremony at the Smith household. Maybe that was why Crystal insisted to have the wedding held at a big hotel. Perhaps she had considered having the ceremony at the Tanner residence. However, she was not a Tanner, after all. People might mistake Yvette as the bride instead.

As we walked toward the hotel entrance, I saw an emotionless Lyle standing stiffly to greet his guests. There was not a trace of joy on his face. I couldn’t help but wonder why he had insisted on marrying Crystal when there was not an ounce of love left between them.

Is this all because he wants to get back at me?

“Congratulations, Mr. Smith. You finally got your wish granted.”

“That’s right. Hats off to you, Mr. Smith, for marrying the much-adulated new school artist. Although the way Crystal has treated her cousin as a stepping stone was questionable, I’m sure you don’t mind that, as your family has benefited immensely out of it too.”

“I agree. Crystal is such a beautiful bride. But unfortunately, this is someone who is prone to backstabbing. If it wasn’t for Sabrina, I would have given her a piece of my mind on the wedding.”

Lyle is still the same vicious man who always knows where his opponent’s soft spot is. I finally got out of the car with Christopher and walked toward him. We stopped in front of Lyle and I handed him an exquisite gift box. “Congratulations,” I said flatly.

“Yvonne.” Lyle shot me a glare as he took over the gift box, denting the corner of it as he was holding it with excessive force.

Wendy, who was greeting other guests on the other side, took notice of my appearance and let out a penetrating wail of woe. “Yvonne Tanner! How dare of you to show your face here?”
