Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 442

I couldn’t help but laugh at the excuse Lyle came up with because I knew the real reason he had invited me. He was unhappy that I wasn’t threatened by him being with Crystal, so he wanted me to see him marry her and live a happy life together. He thought it would make me regret leaving him, but he had no idea how happy I was being with Christopher.

He didn’t know how well Christopher treated me nor how much he would spoil me. While I was indeed in a pinch at the time, I knew very well that it was only temporary, and that things would change for the better.

After Lyle and Wendy had gone back inside, I winked at Christopher and made an ushering motion. “Lyle said he wants to make me give up on him! Should I go in and take a good long look at him getting married?”

“Of course you should! Make sure you burn that image into your head so I can rest assured!” Christopher replied as he took my arm and motioned at me to walk ahead.

Noticing the camera flashes through the corner of my eye, I frowned as I saw a lot of journalists around the hotel. Why are there journalists here? Is it because of my recent drama with Crystal and Monica?

The press was highly capable of twisting the facts and making people believe their lies. Having experienced that first hand, I knew just how devastating false rumors could be and was really afraid of them.

“Why have you stopped?” Christopher asked.

I pointed in the direction of the journalists and said, “See those journalists over there? I bet they’re going to sneak into the wedding later!”

“Don’t worry, they’ll be so busy when the wedding starts that they won’t have time for you at all.”

Busy? Is something big going to happen later? Wait, Christopher once told me it was impossible for Lyle and Crystal to get married. I wonder why… Hmm, what did he and Sharon talk about the other day? Why were they being so secretive about it?

Being a former governor, Gordon was both a great father and a loving husband who managed all his family relationships really well.

I pursed my lips and smiled as I helped pour them some tea. Having changed her clothes, Monica came over all of a sudden. Her eyes lit up when she saw me sitting next to Julia, and she made her way over as she said, “We have a lot of empty seats at our table, Julia! Would you like to sit with us instead?”

“No, I prefer it here. Don’t worry, the Smiths will arrange for people to fill up those empty seats at your table.”

“But, Julia… I…”

“Now, now… The ceremony is starting soon, and everyone else is already seated. It’d be rude to stand here like this, so you should hurry on back to your table! Mr. Martin is waiting for you!”
