Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 668

I was so nervous that my hands were trembling. That was actually Christopher’s number. If Flora sent our photos over, my plan to be rescued would be on its way to success. Even though I did pity Flora, I did not wish to die yet. I wanted to spend more time with Christopher and grow old with him.

Flora smiled after sending the photos. She paced around the room excitedly, while mumbling to herself, “Tobey is mine. He belongs to me.” I was feeling increasingly sorry for her. Tobey should really reflect on himself for causing so much pain to the woman.

Indeed, Christopher did not disappoint me and called at once after the photos were sent. In a cheery tone, he asked, “What are you doing? You’ve made a new friend and even had a makeover. I’m scared of a lot of things, but not ghosts.”

I was so overjoyed that I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I yelled in the direction of the phone immediately, “Chris, I’m kidnapped by Flora, Tobey’s girlfriend! She’s mentally unstable. Get Tobey to come over and settle her!”

“Shut up! You’re not allowed to talk to Tobey!” Flora growled, interrupting my cries for help. She spoke gently into the phone, “Tobey, you’ve seen the photos right? Look how ugly she is now. She’s not good enough for you at all. I’m the one who loves you the most. I’m prettier than her too. Can you don’t talk to her ever again?”

Flora had turned on speaker mode, and I could clearly hear Christopher trying to steady his breath. Wanting to reassure him that I was alright, I said softly, “I’m fine, I just got a shock. Don’t worry.”

Finally, Christopher spoke. Addressing Flora, he said, “You’re definitely the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. I’m going over to look for you right now. Can you dress up and wait for me? Are you at home now?”

“Yup, I’m at home. I have been waiting for you but you didn’t show up. I finally managed to see you yesterday but you left so early. I’m so sad.”

“I’m so sorry, I wasn’t thoughtful enough. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Don’t be scared, I’ll be there right away,” Christopher said gently.

When I heard his deep and gentle voice, I could no longer hold back my emotions and burst into tears. Even though it seemed like he was addressing Flora, he was actually talking to me, telling me not to worry.

I lifted my head up and hummed a tune, pretending to be relaxed. It was a very old love song, where the lyrics talked about not giving up, regardless of the obstacles one faced in life. I could relate to that very well. As long as I could be together with Christopher, I would feel blissful and would be able to endure any obstacles along the way.

“I appreciate your kind intentions,” Flora replied.

What followed was a long wait, with Flora pacing to and fro soullessly and aimlessly. She was in an excited mood and seemed to have completely forgotten about me. She headed into the kitchen and after a while, she emerged with a plate of colorful stuff that looked like different vegetables blended together.

After that, she sat down and waited quietly. When the clock on the wall suddenly rang, Flora was alarmed and jumped up. She dashed toward me aggressively, and I thought that she had finally decided to beat me up, which was what kidnappers usually did. However, to my surprise, she dropped to her knees and started crying while hugging my legs. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Please leave him and give us your blessings. I can’t live without Tobey. I would rather die than lose him. Life would be meaningless without him.”

I was at a loss for words at her sudden dramatic display of agony.

After a while, I finally heard the sound of the door unlocking from outside. When the door was swung open, Tobey and a few men who were dressed in white coats rushed in. He took an anxious glance at me first, making sure I was alright, before heaving a sigh of relief and walking toward Flora.

“Tobey, you’re finally here! I love you. I love you so much! Can you kiss me? Let me feel your love for me,” Flora said emotionally.

“What on Earth do you think you’re doing?” Tobey lifted his hand and gave Flora a tight slap across her face.
