Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 17

Looking back now, I wanted to slap myself.

I was in no mood to listen to her anymore, but she kept on taunting me. “Do you know what Lyle said to me about you?”

No, I don’t want to know.

But she continued, “He said that you’re an old hag. Although he married you, you’re just an unpaid housekeeper to him.”

I became annoyed after hearing that hurtful remark. So, I picked up my phone and looked at her. “Why don’t we call Lyle now and see what he has to say about it?”

Instantly, she panicked and pretended to be calm. “Don’t be so smug. I’ll kick you out sooner or later.”

Great. That would save me the legal fees.

I walked over to the door and opened it. Then, I gave her a look that said, “It’s time for you to leave now”.

Only then did she pick up her bag in frustration and rattle toward me in her high heels.

Just when I thought she was about to walk out the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. And when I least expected it, she stretched out her hand and shoved my shoulder.

I was caught off guard and stumbled backward before landing on my hip.

“Yvonne!” Lyle called out when he came back and saw the scene before him.

However, it was too late. There was a sharp pain in my stomach.

Before Lyle could rush over to break my fall, I had crashed to the ground.

All of a sudden, I felt a sharp and intense pain in my abdomen. I had a dreadful feeling that I was about to miscarry.

Tossing his bag aside, Lyle rushed toward me. He crouched next to me and tried to help me into a sitting position. “Are you alright, Yvonne? Are you hurt?”

He didn’t even know that I was pregnant, and all he cared about was whether I hurt myself from the fall.
