Hearing what he said, I immediately froze and acted like we were still kissing. Christopher’s lips shifted from my cheeks to my forehead as he concentrated his attention on the dance floor, just like in the movies.
They do the same thing in the movies! How exciting!
“Wow. Those two have been at it for quite some time now. That guy must be an exceptional kisser.”
“I wish I could get a kiss like that. Maybe I should try flirting with him. I’m much prettier than that woman with him.”
I kept quiet. I knew it was an act, but it still felt awkward. I moved my neck a little, uncomfortable as I heard people talking about us and felt their eyes on the two of us. Don’t you dare mock me like that! I’m only a tad pale compared to Crystal and Monica. I’m definitely prettier than most average janes!
A moment later, Christopher helped me up. I noticed that lipstick was smeared all over his mouth and burst out into a laugh. “Christopher, you’re wearing lipstick too now. It’s doesn’t look half bad. I’ve never actually realized how charming you look until now. You might even be prettier than Crystal if you wore a dress!”
Christopher proceeded to wipe his mouth, and my mouth as well while he was at it. “Your lipstick tasted really sweet. We’ll pick up where we left off next time.”
“Don’t change the subject!” I got nearer to him, fluttering my lashes. “Why don’t you put on a dress some time and let me take a look?”
“Stop fooling around!”
Right as I was just about to show my cute side by retorting coquettishly, Lyle appeared and cleared his throat. He was looking at us with a straight face. Seeing him made me let out a sigh. What does he want this time? It feels like none of what I said actually got to him.
“Something wrong, Mr. Smith?” Christopher sat beside me, preventing Lyle from doing that.
So, Lyle sat opposite of us and looked at us with his piercing gaze. “Christopher, who would have thought that you had the guts to marry the used shoes I threw out..”
My expression immediately darkened after hearing that. This b*stard’s definitely looking for a beating.
“Used shoes?” Christopher narrowed his gaze. “You know full well whether or not it’s used. As far as I know, you never even touched Eve. As to who the real used shoes are, it’s rather obvious, if I may say.”
“Ha!” Lyle took a glance at me with a sinister look on his face before tapping on the table with his finger and sneered. “I never touched her because she’s filthy. Mr. Lane, you don’t know, do you? Right after we got married, she went ahead and slept with some other guy in a hotel. Who knows? Maybe there’s more. Are you sure that’s not by definition, a used pair of second-hand shoes? There’s a chance she might even be seeing people behind your back.”
His word left me in shock as I stared at him. I could not believe what I was hearing nor fathom the consequences of that statement if the man I was with back then was not Christopher.
“Lyle Smith!” I grabbed the drink on the table and splashed it onto his face. “You’ve made it, Lyle Smith. You’re the first person that I actually wholeheartedly hate. Congratulations.”
Lyle touched his face and looked at me mockingly. It was like he was telling me that there was no escape, that I would always be living in his shadow, and no one could have me even if he cast me aside.
“Are you upset? You didn’t tell him, did you? Tell him. Tell him how you spent the night with that man, how you enjoyed it to your heart’s content. The marks on your body said it all back then.”
How could someone so despicable actually exist! It was like it was his life’s mission to destroy my life, and that left me trembling in anger. If it were not for Christopher pulling me back, we would be throwing punches at each other.
“Relax, darling,” Christopher calmed me down and patted my shoulder. Then, he stood up all of a sudden and flung his fist straight into Lyle’s face before kicking him in the gut. The kick was so powerful, Lyle fell back to the floor along with the chair. However, it was not enough for Christopher, so he went ahead and kicked Lyle again in the chest.
