Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 89

“Well, I’m worth nothing to you now. Why do you care about me? Anyway, I’ll attend the party tomorrow. Since I promised Grandma, I wouldn’t go back on my word. So, you don’t have to face your ugly wife all day.”

Meanwhile, Lyle’s face turned red with fury. Nonetheless, he held in his anger and said, “Why did you push me away at the hotel?”

Doesn’t he know the reason? Well, he probably thinks I wanted to do something. I replied coldly, “I lost my vision and my mind. Are you satisfied with my answer?”

“You love me, don’t you?” Lyle’s expression turned grim as he said, “But why did you…” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He bit his tongue, but I wasn’t interested to know what he intended to say. “Does it make a difference if I love you or not? Crystal is yours now, and you’ve maintained your reputation. Are you not content with it? Please don’t disturb me anymore.”

I entered an alley furiously to escape from his unsightly Porsche. Deep down, I thought Lyle was probably hesitant about getting a divorce because I saved him. In that case, I would rather travel back in time to stop myself from saving him. Then, he would have stopped overthinking everything.

Initially, I thought he wouldn’t catch up with me. Nonetheless, I overestimated his shamelessness. When I exited the alley, he was already waiting for me in front. The moment I showed up, he pinched me against the wall furiously and yelled, “You want a divorce because you wish to be with Christopher,

am I right? How dare you claim that there is nothing between you two? If that’s true, why did you two hug each other?”

“Are you out of your mind? While you can have multiple concubines, I should be grateful because I still have a tiny place in your heart? Should I kneel before you and thank you for remembering me once in a while? Are you that shameless to think that you’re an emperor, and everyone has to do as you wish?”

“How dare you make excuses!” Lyle lifted his hand and threw a pile of photos at me. The wind gusted through and scattered them all over the ground. I was startled to find out that they were taken when Christopher and I went to the amusement park. In the photos, I looked a little silly but smiled happily.

“Did you follow me?” I never thought that Lyle was that perverted to follow me.

“What if my answer is yes?” Lyle gripped my shoulder tightly and continued, “Since when did you have an affair with him? What did you guys do behind my back?”

“We did everything. Are you satisfied?” Impulse brought out the worse in me.

Slap! Lyle slapped on my face and bellowed, “You’re a b*tch!”

“Yes, I’m a b*tch. That is why I married to a scum!” I threw a kick at his leg and pushed him away forcefully. Then, I pointed at the photos and said, “These photos were taken yesterday. Even though you were the one who proposed to me, I was labeled as a homewrecker instead. Where were you when I was slandered? I guess you were by Crystal’s side to comfort her, right? Yet, I was left helpless and stood by the roadside like a stray dog. Did you read the news? The only thing that I didn’t do was jump off a building. If Christopher didn’t show up, I’d have ended my life already.”

As Lyle was irritated, he lifted his hand and wanted to slap me again. Seeing that, I leaned closer to him and pointed at my face provokingly. “Come on. Hit me here to leave handprints on both of my cheeks. Let me attend the party tomorrow with handprints on my face to show that we’re a loving couple.”

In the end, Lyle didn’t hit me. Instead, he looked a little tired, as though he was troubled. “Regarding the incident with Crystal, I called you and wanted to stop your dad. However, you weren’t willing to come with me. My initial plan was to let you tell the reporters that there was nothing between Crystal and me. Also, I hoped you could explain that you two were good friends, and the entire fiasco emerged due to some rumors spread by certain newspapers.”

I was shocked to hear that Lyle cared about my feelings. Sadly, I didn’t believe a word of it as I replied coldly, “I said that I will attend the party tomorrow. Rest assured that I won’t tell Mr. Ziegler anything that might jeopardize the contract. So, you have nothing to worry about.”
