Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 471

“That woman was so galling though, so it’s not my fault.” Christopher let out a snort before adding on, “Besides, everybody in Avenport should have heard about our relationship by now. Hence, the people who still want to go on a blind date with me despite knowing that must have some other malicious intent in mind. I don’t want to have anything to do with those people.”

“The thing that you said just now, about her being pregnant with a baby. Is that true?”

“Yeah. Zachary was the one who provided me with this information. It can’t be wrong.” Christopher fed me some pastries before continuing, “I must admit, Sabrina is a nice friend to have. I’m impressed that you were able to find a friend like her.”

“Of course. I’m a good judge of character. If I am not, I wouldn’t have liked you.”

As I said that, I noticed someone’s shadow behind us. When I turned around, I was startled by who I saw. Julia was standing behind us all this while! I quickly got out of Christopher’s arms and sat up with my back straight.

Julia ignored my presence and started lecturing Christopher, “Why do you always have to upset your dates, Christopher? This time you even brought her along to the date. How could you do such a thing? Can’t you at least show some respect for your date? Rachael gave me a call just now wailing about her encounter with you. You dare to call yourself a man after what you’ve said to her?”

“Mom, I’m your son. You know my personality better than anyone else. Here, have some coffee. It’ll help to calm you down.” Christopher passed the cup of coffee in front of me over to her. But that’s

mine… Tch!

Julia pushed the cup of coffee away and retorted, “Calm down? How can I be calm right now? Rachael isn’t going to give you another chance anymore. What a shame, she was such a classy girl. She would’ve been the perfect fit for you.” She glanced at me before continuing, “She would’ve been a way better partner for you than this woman here.”

I sat back down and remained taciturn as she rambled on. For my sake, Christopher has disobeyed Mrs. Lane a couple of times before and even got into a fight with her. I can’t cause him any more trouble. I should just remain silent and wait for her to calm down.

“Mom, a classy woman wouldn’t have gotten herself pregnant with some random guy before marriage. I know you’re dying for a grandchild, but do you really want me to raise a baby that isn’t even mine? Sorry, I can’t do that.”

With an apathetic look on his face, Christopher crossed his legs and ordered a few more snacks onto the table.

“What? What are you talking about?” Julia was bewildered after hearing his statement. “She’s a fine woman. Stop your nonsense.”

“You think I’m making this up? If you don’t believe me, you could ask Darius to do an investigation on her.”

Julia’s face suddenly turned somber. “You should come back home for dinner tonight.”

“Okay, I’ll bring Eve along with me,” Christopher replied.

“Humph!” Julia was miffed. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Seeing as such, I uttered, “Mom… I mean, Mrs. Lane, don’t worry. I’ll make sure he returns home for dinner tonight.”

“You’d better!” Julia responded in a harsh tone.

Yes, of course! I wouldn’t dare to go against my future mother-in-law. I wonder if she’ll ever stop being so hostile toward me.

Meanwhile, Crystal was captured and brought to the police station. She was arrested for harming an elderly man. The old man who was pushed down by her was still being treated in the hospital. On top of that, Crystal was also indicted for plagiarism. She had been using someone else’s artwork to increase her popularity without their permission.

All the people who were previously bullied by her came together to sue her. Originally, I didn’t want to involve myself in any of this. However, Nathan came to ask me for my help personally.
