Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 410

I knew why he was so angry. He wouldn’t mind it if the journalists were calling him names, but not if the attacks were directed at me. I didn’t mind it at all though, but I couldn’t stand the fact that the journalists were calling Christopher a two-timing cheat. I didn’t want him to get slandered because of me.

“We are going to hold the biggest wedding possible after everything’s settled. Let’s see if those journalists would come up with any stupid questions then.” Christopher held me by my cheeks.

“Sure. Let’s go with that. I don’t really mind the accusations though, so why are you so mad?” I chuckled.

“I can’t believe they called you a third party. You didn’t even do anything.” Christopher puffed his cheeks like a little boy.

“I don’t mind what they think, as long as you know that I’m innocent. You’re the one I’m marrying, not them. Or do you think this will hurt our relationship?” I stuck my tongue out and put on a relaxed front.

“Of course it won’t,” said Christopher seriously.

I smiled at him. His answer reassured me a bit, but I was still feeling uneasy. I realized my bad reputation was troubling Christopher, and this made our relationship much harder to handle.

I was about to go home after consulting the doctor about Monica’s situation, but then I came face to face with Crystal and Natalie. I was shocked to see them here, and so were they.

I took a glance at Crystal’s belly. She was wearing a tight-fitting shirt today, and she was slightly out of shape. I realized she had a little bump on her belly. Is she pregnant? I recalled her being pregnant four months ago. Back then, she told Lyle to break up with me because she was pregnant with his child. But when we got stranded on the island, she didn’t look like she was pregnant. Maybe she had a miscarriage.

“What are the odds, Yvonne? We just met earlier.” Yvonne snapped out of it and leaned against Lyle, grinning at me.

Yeah, we just met earlier, and she was already telling everyone that Remington and I were dating. It was obviously a lie, but everyone bought it. If it wasn’t for Remington, I would have to leave the exhibition in shame.

“Yeah, but I can live without seeing you around,” I said calmly. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Crystal was unperturbed by my scathing remark. Instead, she smirked at us. “You should be more sociable, or you’ll end up getting the short end of the stick, just like how you are now. It’s not your fault though. It’ll get better once you learn how to act around people.”

“Hey, I don’t like getting the short end of the stick, but if it means I don’t have to become a piece of human scum like you, I’d rather take the short end any day.” I took a step back when I realized Crystal was coming toward me. This b*tch is a time bomb. I’m staying a hundred miles away from her.

“Can you stop talking? Crystal’s pregnant now. She can’t get angry, don’t you know that? You’d better not make her angry, or I won’t let you off,” Natalie growled harshly.

“Oh, she’s pregnant? Then get her away from me. I don’t want to talk to her anyway.” Should I take a long way out? I don’t want to argue with these b*tches.

Crystal took an invitation out and handed it to me. “Yvonne, I know there’s been a lot of misunderstandings between us, but I hope you can attend my wedding. I want to share the happiness with everyone, especially you.”

She held the red invitation card before me, giving me a challenging look. I didn’t take it right away, so she raised her chin arrogantly. “Why? Chickening out? So are you going to come with Mr. Lane?”

I turned around, and I saw Christopher making big strides toward me. “Of course. Can’t turn down an invitation from you, can I?” He took the invitation from her. “I’ll be there to share the happiness.”

“Thank you for coming then, Yvonne. The dinner will be held at Hotel Boreas three days later. Since it is held by the Tanners, we’d be expecting you to come on time. You are the young lady of the family after all. It wouldn’t look good without you being there.”
