Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 570

“Christopher, that’s too much!” When Lyle was about to throw a powerful punch in Christopher’s direction, I got in his way and yelled, “No! Stop it, Lyle! You’re not supposed to beat him!”

“That’s it! Stop being lovey-dovey in front of me! It’s disgusting! Get out of my sight at once! Yvonne, I’ll file for divorce with you as soon as I make it out alive!” Christopher was at the top of his lungs again.

As my mind was all over the place, I started wailing, “No! There’s no way I’m leaving you just yet! If you want me to leave, you need to come with me!”

“Well, if you’re not leaving, I’ll leave! Zach, it’s time to go and leave them alone!” Christopher staggered the moment he tried to bring himself up. Nonetheless, he supported himself and made his way to Zachary’s side with the aid of the boulder.

I rushed over to his side and stopped him from leaving while wailing, “Can you stop chasing me away? I know you’re trying to get rid of me and lure John away from us! I’m well aware you’re trying to keep me safe, but you’re not supposed to leave me alone! Haven’t you promised me to stay with me till death do us part?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Slouching against Christopher, I started weeping and gasped out the things I had in mind, “I have long made up my mind to brace myself through the challenge with you! Have you forgotten your promise when we were stranded on the island? You told me you would never leave me again!”

I was conscious of the reason behind his drastic change of attitude since he was never an arrogant man. There was no way he would make a fuss merely because Lyle was there. Therefore, I was certain

it was another attempt of his to drive me away from him to keep me safe.

Christopher couldn’t bring himself to keep up with his act. Instead, he repeated himself while wiping my tears off my cheeks, “You’re not supposed to be here! You shouldn’t have made your way here in the first place!”

As I continued bawling my eyes out, I wrapped my arms around him. “Chris, I can’t live without you! You’re the only reason I’m still alive! You need to stop driving me away!”

Gritting his teeth, he remarked, “You know that’s not true, don’t you? After all, you’re still alive after leaving Lyle when you once mentioned you couldn’t live without him. Yvonne, listen to me! I can still keep all of you safe as long as I lure them away with me! Can you do me a favor and bring them to safety with you?”

“No!” Shaking my head, I repeated myself, “There’s no way I’m leaving you!”

“Yvonne, listen to me and stay here!” It was the first time in forever he groveled himself at others’ mercy. Staring at me in the eyes, he asked, “Do you want me to witness you passing on in front of me? If you love me, listen to me! Otherwise, I’m going to leave you for good!”

“No! I’m not going to repeat myself anymore! I don’t care if you’re going to file for divorce with me once we make it out alive; there’s no way I’m leaving you! You don’t get to make the call when we’re in the middle of nowhere!”

Christopher finally gave up since he figured out he couldn’t do anything to change my mind. Once he returned to his senses after a few minutes, he turned around and told Lyle, “You should’ve stopped her

from making the trip if you truly have a thing for her! Keep her safe, and she’s yours once I’m gone!”

Lyle shook his head and rebuked, “I have always resented you for driving us apart from one another, but I’m well aware I’ll never be a match for you. She cares for you as much as you do. Thus, she would’ve made the trip even if I tried stopping her.”

Sighing, Christopher repeated himself, “Aren’t you aware it’s over the moment you pass on? You still stand a chance if you take her away with you!”
