Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 470

“You should just follow my mother’s instructions,” Christopher responded nonchalantly.

“Really? So you agree to our engagement?” she was a bit perplexed.

“Since you’ve already discussed the engagement day with my mom, I have no objections.” Christopher gazed at Rachael with his mesmerizing eyes and gave her a charming smile.

“I can’t believe how lucky I am. Am I dreaming right now?” murmured Rachael.

“No, you’re not. That being said, there’s one thing I need to tell you about. My dad loves my mom dearly. They’ve been married for many years now. If you really want to get engaged with my mom, you should at least ask for my dad’s permission. As long as he agrees, I’ll give you my blessing.”

“Ah!” the lady was stunned in place as if she was struck by lightning.

After hearing Christopher’s words, I felt a bit bad for her. He’s just toying with her at this point. That is so him though. He said so before himself, he would only be nice to one woman only, me.

“Sorry, I’m late. I have something important to take care of just now.”

“What’s more important than coming here?” Christopher had a sullen look on his face as he turned away from me.

“I’m so sorry. Since I arrived too early, I decided to take a stroll around this area. While I was wandering around, I encountered something unexpected by the road which ended up grabbing my attention. That’s the reason why I’m late,” I carefully explained to Christopher. “Here, have some coffee. It can help to calm your nerves.” I passed the cup of coffee beside my hand over to him.

“I want you to feed it to me!” Christopher ordered.

“Alright then!” I lifted the cup of coffee to his mouth and gave him a slurp of it. I also put a few pine nut cookies into his mouth. “If you ever turn up late again, you’ll be thoroughly punished.”

“It won’t happen again,” I responded while giggling. Punished, huh? I wonder what that means.

“You two…” the woman pointed her finger at us with a distressed look on her face. “Mr. Lane, who’s this?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Christopher pulled me into his arms before uttering, “Have you not seen the news? This woman here is my wife. She’s from the Tanner family.” He revealed my identity to the woman without any hesitation.

“Oh, this is Rachel,” introduced Christopher.

“What? That’s impossible. You’re from the Lane family. There’s no way a person of your stature would want to marry a divorcée.” Rachael had an incredulous look on her face as she looked at me.

“Really? Personally, I think that Eve is a hundred times better than women like you.” Christopher feigned a smile at her as he said that. Hey, that’s too much. She was asked by Mrs. Lane to attend this blind date, you know. It’s not her fault. I gave Christopher a little pinch on the arm.

“Christopher, don’t you think you’re being rude to me? This blind date was arranged by Mrs. Lane. Even if you think I’m not worthy enough to be your date partner, you shouldn’t bring such a deplorable woman here just to spite me.” Rachael’s face was bright red, with tears coming out of her eyes.

“Watch your words.” After hearing Rachael’s catty remarks toward me, Christopher’s tone suddenly turned cold. “The baby in your stomach is about a month old right? Isn’t it bad for you to come out during this time? Did your family know that you have come here to see me? Most importantly, does the baby’s father know? Don’t tell me you’re going to make this baby a Lane. I don’t think the baby’s father would agree to this.”

“You… Enough with your slanders.” Rachael’s face was ashen.

“You think your dirty little secret can be kept forever?”

Rachael’s facial expression was getting worse by the minute. She stood up and exclaimed, “You two are monsters. You will never find happiness together!”

After she left, I glared at Christopher and uttered, “That was too much. What you said to her was out of the line. She was just following your mother’s wishes. You didn’t have to be so mean to her, you know?”
