Chapter 628


    I waspletely guilty, so I dared not say a word back as Remington let out his anger. Unfortunately,


    Christopher was by my side. He was the type to protect his wife no matter what happened. Whenever


    Remington raised his voice at me, Christopher would start putting on a cold front. In the end,


    Remington was shrieking in anger. He grabbed Christopher by the cor and dragged him to the


    practice room upstairs.


    Outside the door, I could hear the two of them fighting with each other. I sped my hands together


    before my chest. “Please just let them put an end to this peacefully.”


    “To h*ll with peace! Yvonne… Ouch! You… I’m telling you, if this painting isn’t done by Sunday, I will cut


    off all ties with you. I will never show up before you again. I… Argh! Oh, is that how you want to y it?


    Come here and let me teach you a lesson, Christopher!”


    “What else did you expect? For me to stand here and let you hit me? My wife is the only one that I will


    willingly allow toy a finger on me.”


    “I see you’re willing to throw away your friendship for your rtionship. I can only say that it is


    unfortunate to have been your friend.”


    “Friends are for using. My wife is for loving. That’s just how it is.”


    Listening in to their conversation, my eyes were twitching. Hopefully, Remington would not get angrier


    after hearing Christopher’s preposterous logic.


    I kept hearing heavy thumps on the floor, coupled with Remington’s miserable screams from time to


    time. Finally, the practice room door opened. Christopher walked out first with his sleeves rolled up


    high. The tie around his neck was in a mess. There was a bruise on the corner of his mouth. The sight


    of it made my heart ache.


    “Aren’t you going to blow on it for me? It hurts.” Christopher put his face near mine.


    “I can’t believe you guys actually beat each other up. Couldn’t you have toned it down a little? Besides,


    there’s a punching bag right there. The two of you could have justpeted to see who would break


    the punching bag first or something.” I leaned over to him and blew gently on his bruise.


    “Don’t worry. I never lose.” Christopher shot me a sly smile. “Your kiss numbs all pain.”


    “Will the two of you stop showing off? At least take a moment to consider how I feel. Move aside.”


    Remington stepped out with his chest puffed. There seemed to be no injuries on his face. As he walked


    out, he even did a biting motion toward us to signify his victory. With my jaw wide open, I softly


    whispered to Christopher, “I thought you said you never lose?”


    “Shush!” Christopher took a step nearer to me. “He’s just happy he left a mark on my face. I


    deliberatelynded all my punches on ces that are covered by his clothes. Trust me. He’s definitely


    in more pain than me.”


    I shot him a thumbs up. Indeed, I had to admit that I admired his skills.


    “What about Spencer? If I use Crystal as an excuse to lure him back, do you think it will work?” I asked


    hesitantly.


    “Just tell him that Crystal is looking for him urgently. Remember to emphasize that she is close to tears.


    I guarantee he will be on a flight back tonight,” Christopher said solemnly.


    “That’s true. No argument there.” I once again gave him a thumbs up to salute his intelligence.


    That night, after Christopher and I finished our “vigorous exercise”, wey cuddling in bed. Suddenly, a


    series of fast-paced knocks sounded. Initially, I thought it was probably the neighbors. After a while, the


    knocking did not stop, and both Christopher and I were awakened. It was only then we realized that


    someone was knocking at our door.

    I exchanged nces with Christopher. Both of us were visibly puzzled. I held onto my forehead and


    frowned. “It can’t be. When I called him, he was busy. So I left a message. Considering the time


    difference, he must have left at around midnight. That man is honestly hopeless.”


    “Even more importantly, he’s so blind. He had just had to fall in love with a girl that loves ying games


    and flirting with other men. He has such weird taste, unlike me.” Christopher had just gotten done


    changing. He kissed me on the forehead before going to check on the door.


    I shut my eyes. I was half asleep when suddenly someone kicked the bedroom door open. This was


    followed by Spencer’s loud and panicked voice shouting in my ear. “Yvonne, tell me. Where is Crystal?


    Is she okay?”
