Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 77
“Crystal!” Lyle seemed overwhelmed as he held on to Crystal’s hand. “I didn’t know you’re still in love with me. I’m sorry for everything. It’s all my fault.”
“Lyle, it’s not your fault I fell for you, but love is forever. We’ve known each other for ten years, became a couple for two years, and broke up for two years. I tried to forget you, but I couldn’t do it. I’m sorry, Lyle. I should have restrained myself from expressing my love.”
The two of them hugged and looked at each other affectionately. I, on the other hand, was getting accused and forced to apologize. Lyle had also long since forgotten what he said about living a good life with me.
I would have relented in the past. However, I was surprisingly calm instead of succumbing to pressure. I sneered as if I just watched a good show and clapped.
“This is so touching. But why am I not aware that I broke you two up? You want me to admit I’m a homewrecker? Dream on!”
“Miss, why do you insist on making things difficult for Crystal when she’s such a nice girl?” A stranger spoke up, displeased. I shot him a look and suddenly recalled that I had met him at Crystal’s party last time.
No wonder he looked so familiar. He appeared as Crystal’s senior whenever she was interviewed for her paintings that were published in the news. He was also the one who had pushed me into the water when I was a kid. He was Benjamin’s brother, Benson who had been out of the picture for quite some time.
I felt like I was going crazy. Things had taken a turn for the worse in such a short time. I pushed Lyle away and ran out of the hospital. Fu** his true love, fu** his good life. These two fu***** can do whatever they want, I don’t care anymore.
As for Crystal trying to commit suicide, I found it very funny. It was blatantly obvious to me that she was putting on an act. How could she ever commit suicide when she was such a coward? She was simply asking for sympathy to clear her name.
I hailed a cab back to the apartment on my own, locked the door, and buried myself under the sheets. Lyle wouldn’t be coming back home tonight anyway. I was so tired of the never-ending quarrels and schemes.
It was as if my cousin was deliberately going against me. She would create trouble whenever I had peace of mind. Sometimes, I really don’t get why she does it. She’s successful in her career, pretty, and surrounded by eligible bachelors.
