Chapter 16


    Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 16


    I leaned half of my body on the door frame and blocked the


    entrance by grabbing the doorknob with one hand. “What’s up?”


    I thought my actions made it very obvious that she was


    uninvited, but she chose to ignore it and continued to step


    forward haughtily in her high heels.


    Now that I recalled, she gave me a contemptuous look that day


    at the park as well. If I had not fainted that day, I would have


    pped her across her face. After all, Christopher was there to


    back me up at that time.


    I quickly moved forward and blocked her path. “I’m sorry. I’m


    going to rest now. You’ll have toe another day.”


    My message came through loud and clear.


    She scoffed, “I have something to tell you.”


    “But I have nothing to say to you,” I replied.


    She shot back, “My time is precious. I’m afraid I may not have


    the time toe another day. Unlike you, I can’t sit around at


    home all day.”


    She was a pretty girl, but she’s clearly an idiot.


    Not wanting to waste my breath on her, I turned to close the


    door.


    But she stuck her arm out to stop the door from closing. Caught


    off guard, I swung the door wide open, and she strutted in with


    her head held high.


    Without waiting for an invitation from me, she walked into the


    living room and sat on my couch as if she owned the ce.


    I was fuming inside, but I forced out a smile.


    “This is my home, and you’re sitting on my couch,” I said


    flippantly.


    She sneered in reply. “It won’t be your home soon, but don’t


    worry. I’m not as petty as you. I couldn’t care less if you take this


    tattered couch with you.”


    I nodded my head in agreement. “That’s right. Scraps are not


    worthy for trashy people like you.”


    She instantly became angry at the insult. “Who’s the trashy one


    now? I’m telling you, Lyle will kick you out soon. He has lost


    interest in you for a long time. All you do is cook and clean.”


    Is she taking me for a fool? If that’s the case, then why is she


    throwing a fit in front of me now? Perhaps she was here because


    it had been a long time since Lyle had gone to her.


    Suddenly, she smiled and asked, “Do you know when was the


    first time that I got together with Lyle?”


    I had no idea, and I didn’t want to know, either. “I’m not


    interested.”


    However, the self-absorbed woman ignored me and continued,


    “At that time, I just started working, and I had no qualifications. I


    worked hard and did all the menial tasks. Most of the time, I had


    to work overtime untilte in the night.”


    And then what? Is she ying the sympathy card? Well, I had it


    worse than her. When I was in college, I had to work and study


    at the same time. I was handing out flyers on the street, cleaning


    dishes, and putting up posters whenever I didn’t have ss.


    I replied, “I feel for you. I really do. How about this, I’ll give you


    some money for you to call a cab?”


    Ignoring my jibe, she continued rambling, “I remember that night


    very clearly. It was raining heavily when I left the office at ten. I


    was walking in the rain for some time before I fainted. When I


    woke up, I was in Lyle’s car, and he even gave me his coat to


    keep me warm.”


    Ten at night, rain, missing coat. I searched my memory with


    those clues, and finally, I knew which night she was talking


    about.


    It was my birthdayst year. I bought a cake and waited for


    Lyle at home, but all I got was a phone call from him telling me


    not to wait up for him because he was having a meeting.


    He didn’t get home until three in the morning. His clothes were


    soaking wet, and his coat was missing.


    At that time, I felt sorry for him for working so hard and even


    berated myself for expecting him to celebrate my birthday with


    me.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
