Chapter 181


    Once the dishes were ready, I proceeded to sample them and carried on to pack the prepared dishes


    once I ensured it was adequately seasoned.


    In spite of not being a great cook, I could prepare a few simple dishes. The ones I had were at least


    tastier than the ones Christopher brought me.


    After a short while, I noticed Lyle had disappeared. Chuckling, I wondered if he had made his way to


    our ce to verify I was alive or not.


    I had no intention to figure out if Lyle had honored his promise and attempted to rescue me. To be


    precise, I couldn’t care less about the things that had urred once they departed.


    If it weren’t because of Christopher, Lyle might return to my corpse once he made his way back with


    Crystal. After all, I would either be killed or hadmitted suicide by then.

    No woman could possibly brace themselves through the humiliation. Speaking of which, I recalled the


    time Lyle left me alone in the hotel and allowed others to take advantage of me.


    Once I had everything ready, I retrieved the set of outfits I bought Christopher from the wardrobe and


    got myself ready to return to the hospital.


    All of a sudden, someone rang the doorbell in a hurry. I rushed over and answered the door. I was not


    surprised by the presence of Lyle at the doorstep at all.


    He had his eyes glued to me while panting. Shortly after he caught his breath, he sprinted over and


    held me in between his arms.


    “I’m d you’re fine!”


    I started shivering in disgust because I couldn’t stand being around that hypocrite. I pushed him away


    and asked in a callous tone, “What do you want?”


    Lyle exined himself, “Please listen to me, Yvonne! It was never my intention to leave you alone! In


    fact, I brought a bunch of people back to the scene with me once I made my way back with Crystal.


    However, you were nowhere to be seen anymore.”


    The sheer thought of recalling the incident that had urred in the basement sent me to another


    vicious cycle of despair.


    Afraid he would remind me of the times the three vicious-looking men ran their hands across my body, I


    interrupted him and deadpanned my reply, “Is that any of my concerns? Are you done yet? If you’ll


    excuse me, I’m about to head out!”


    “Yvonne, I—” Lyle wasn’t able to finish his sentence. After much considerations, he asked, “How are


    you?”


    He had his eyes glued to my trembling hands. In my defense, he was the one at fault for rushing over


    to my side without my consent. Christopher was the only man allowed to approach me. Otherwise, my


    body would start shivering against my will when other men were around.


    I took a deep breath to calm myself down. A few secondster, I yelled, “I’m perfectly fine! Also,


    congrattion on being promoted to fatherhood! I’ll appreciate it if you can sort things out between us


    as soon as possible! I’m sure you don’t want Crystal to be concerned when she’s heavily pregnant, do


    you? You don’t think I’m going to raise the child on your behalf, do you?”


    Overwhelmed by my sarcastic remarks, Colors drained from Lyle’s face. After a few seconds of re,


    he nodded and announced, “I’ll get the agreement ready as soon as possible. We’ll put an end to


    everything soon.”


    “Sounds like a great idea!” I brought the stuff I had with me and marched towards the car. Lyle came


    after me and yelled when I was about to board the car, “Yvonne, I owe you once, but I have never done


    anything wrong! Since you’re also having an affair with someone else, it’s safe to consider we’re even!”


    I had to stop myself from throwing the things around me in his direction when he mentioned we were


    even.


    What the heck does he mean we’re even when I’m the sole victim of this messed-up marriage? Is he


    indicating I have been wasting his time over the years?


    Well, I guess it’s not much of a surprise since he can easily deny himself of his liabilities as a husband


    because the only one he cares about is Crystal!


    In spite of the things I had in mind, I decided to pay no heed to the man who would soon be an


    estranged man in my life. I turned around and bade farewell to him with a bright grin, “I hope I won’t run


    into you anymore!”
