Initially, everyone was trying to ease the awkwardness. However, Sabrina had made things worse by suggesting that stupid idea. “Remember, you must kiss the guy for at least three minutes and nothing less. We should all go by the rules of the game.”
I intended to reject her request, yet she winked at me and motioned to me to take this chance to teach Lyle a lesson. Upon that, I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed, indicating that I understood what she meant.
If Lyle was a real gentleman, he would have walked out of the room and passed the hallway deliberately. That way, I could have a chance to kiss my husband and rubbed it in Crystal’s face. Frankly speaking, that would be the best way to crush any intentions she had in mind. Nevertheless, they weren’t aware that Lyle and I were no more than strangers to each other now.
I didn’t want to kiss somebody else, so I decided to say something to change their minds. Then, I gave Lyle a look, hoping that he would take the hint. Perhaps a word or even a kiss would end this stupid game immediately.
Yet, he just stared back at me mockingly. His stare was full of contempt like I was nothing but a used rag. Seeing that, I became enraged and decided to accept the dare.
I pushed my chair away and stood by the door. True enough, someone came by in an instant. I was stunned when I noticed it was Christopher. Then, I recalled the countless messages he had sent, but I didn’t reply to them. However, for some reason, I met him here at this moment.
I ran toward him and blocked his path. The man looked at me in surprise as I cupped his cheeks and kissed him deeply, only letting him go after a long while.
Christopher was stunned by my sudden action. After all, I never wanted anyone to know about our relationship. Heck, I even insisted on drawing the line between us. But who knew that this day would come, that I actually kissed him in public.
“I… You…” He touched his lips as he stared blankly at me. It was obvious he didn’t see this coming, but his expression was extremely adorable.
I tried to stay calm and replied, “I’m playing truth or dare with my friends, so I’m sorry if I’ve made you uncomfortable. But you can vent your anger on me if you’re mad. I don’t mind.”
Christopher then came to his senses as I said so and noticed everyone in the room with their jaws dropped. He instantly grasped the entire situation and felt was very pleased when his eyes fell upon Lyle’s dark expression. Well, that was great. I was actually mad that you didn’t respond to my messages, but I’ll let it slip this once.
He smiled devilishly and leaned against the wall. “Why would I be mad if a beauty like you decides to offer me a kiss? You’re cool with this, right, Lyle?”
Hearing that, I knew Christopher’s intention right away. That man was just saying it on purpose to anger Lyle. I felt a sense of pleasure as I had gotten my revenge by the look on his face.
Well, well, would you look at that! You’re not the only one who dares to embarrass me, y’know! I can do the same thing to you too. Don’t you forget that I used to be outstanding as well… It’s just that I chose to tone it down because of you.
Just then, Lyle slammed his wine glass on the table and walked out of the room, staring daggers at me when he left.
“Lyle!” Crystal ran after him. “Eve, you’ve crossed the line! How could you have kissed another man in front of him?” she reprimanded.
I smiled coldly as I watched them leave. Lyle had always called me a sl*t, and finally, I had proven him right today. You called me a sl*t, and a sl*t you shall have!
“My apologies, but I would like to make a move first. Have a good night!” I couldn’t bear to think of what others would say about me once I left. The atmosphere was getting weirder by the minute anyway, so I had no intention to stay. However, my lower abdomen started to hurt because I was walking too fast.
Although it was a miscarriage during the early stages of my pregnancy, and I would be fine after a few days of rest, I was still a human. It was merely the third day since my miscarriage, and I was already out in the cold. Thus, it made me feel unwell. As soon as I left, Sabrina came running after me, saying that she wanted to send me home. Yet, I rejected her. I needed some time alone to process my thoughts as she wouldn’t understand my frustrations.
