Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 63

Disregarding the fact that I cried, I was still writhing in Christopher’s arms. He hugged me, telling me not to be afraid and saying that he was by my side. I replied that I was still scared, then pressed into his embrace and bit his arm. Nevertheless, he did not make a sound. After the injection, he then patted my back and said comfortingly, “It’s over. Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”

How embarrassing. As a woman in her twenties, I was afraid of injections. What kind of situation was that? I replied stiffly, “I said I’m not.”

Yet, I could not help but look at his arm, which had the sleeve rolled up. As soon as I saw the row of teeth marks, I wanted to hide. Judging by the depth of the prints and the fact that they still had not faded, I had bitten him very hard.

“Okay, you’re not,” he said as he patted my head affectionately. Such a reaction from him made it look even more like I was acting cute to my boyfriend. Thus, my face grew even redder than before.

Although I had already done everything with Christopher by then, at that moment, he was acting like a young man trying to woo his girlfriend. As a result, I became shy instead. He then went to the table and brought some iodine over. Dabbing some over a cotton swab, he then disinfected the scratches on my arm.

Just then, I recalled the previous day’s scene again. When I pushed him away then, his gaze had been full of shock and disbelief, as well as disappointment. Resultantly, after considering my tone, I eventually mustered up my courage and said, “I’m sorry!”

He raised his eyebrow and asked, “Why are you suddenly apologizing?”

I rubbed my nose, avoiding his gentle gaze as I said quietly, “Yesterday, I pushed you away to save Lyle because he saved me before. I thought of it as a clean break. He saved me, and now I saved him, so

we’re even now. We’ve already known each other for so long. This time, all our grudges would have passed.”

The man seemed to become more surprised after I spoke. A while later, he asked, “Are you explaining things to me?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

His words stunned me. Indeed, even if I cared for him in the past, I had only thought about it in my mind. However, right then, I had taken the initiative to explain things to him. Unknowingly, he had somehow become important to me.

“I just… I just think Lyle’s been bullying me. Despite that, I still went to help him when you came to help me. I feel a bit stupid, and I feel that I’m disappointing those who are helping me now. Don’t misunderstand, I just…”

The more I spoke, the messier my words became, and the more I felt that something was wrong. Eventually, I stopped talking and looked at him helplessly.

“Misunderstand what?” Christopher asked. He was still in a good mood, with a slight smile on his face.

“Noth…” In reality, I did not want him to know exactly how much I cared about him. Similarly, I had not let Lyle find out that I had had a crush on him for ten years. In this manner, I could retain my remaining dignity when I left.

I was timid. I loved someone but did not dare to admit it. Similarly, I liked someone but did not want others to find out. At least, things were good that way, for both parties would be happy and could part with good feelings.

“Silly girl!” he chuckled, patting my head. I realized he liked to do that a lot. It was both intimate and affectionate and had a sweet vibe to it. Wanting to eat something sweet, I then said, “Christopher, I want to eat a lollipop. Can you help me get one? It’s in the cabinet.”

He walked over and rummaged in the cabinet for a while before taking out an empty box.

There’s none left? Truly, I blamed my gluttony. I did not know where Christopher had asked Zachary to buy them from, but they were my favorite. Thus, I had unknowingly finished eating an entire box of them.

Since I was looking at him eagerly, he helplessly spread his hands out and said, “I’ll go buy some.”

“Mm!” I pouted, looking at him pleadingly.

He leaned in and pointed to his cheek. “What about my reward?”

Obediently, I leaned forward and kissed him. Noticing that he was still not satisfied, I then kissed his forehead and nose. Only then did he leave.
