Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 32

Well, that was the case in the past because he was the one who had rushed to my rescue when Yvette tried to drown me in the pond. Whenever Lyle showed up, she would put on a timid front and stop picking on me.

It was very foolish of me to fall for him just because he had saved me. Those who had no near-death experiences would never figure out the way it felt to have someone to rely on in the nick of time.

When I struggled in the pond, those nearby wouldn’t stop laughing at me. They couldn’t care less if I would make it out alive or not. Lyle was the only one who had jumped into the pond and saved me in the nick of time without any hesitation.

As the one who had saved me, I felt indebted and obliged to repay the favor. Unfortunately, I might be wrong because the last thing he needed was my affection.

Unable to bring up the request to file for divorce, I returned home feeling dejected. The housekeepers hired to keep the place clean had been dismissed because Lyle disliked being surrounded by strangers. After spending a few days away from home, the place was messed up once again, but I couldn’t be bothered.

Suddenly, someone barged into the foyer. The drunk Lyle staggered his way into the dining hall and slammed the dishes I had prepared to the ground while yelling, “What have you told Grandma?”

Sighing, I put everything aside and answered, “I’m not as shameless as you. I have merely dropped by to visit Grandma because I’m aware she’s not feeling well.”

“Are you sure? If that’s the case, why have Grandma terminated Bianca after your trip to her place? Are you jealous?” Lyle kicked the table with all his might and ended up falling to the ground.

I rushed over to help him up, but he shrugged me off, slapping me in the face the moment I touched him. The thunderous slap reverberated in the desolate mansion.

Staring at him in the eyes, I ran my fingers across my swollen cheek. I thought he wouldn’t be able to hurt me anymore, but I was wrong. My heart ached because he had taken out his frustration on me for his mistress’ sake again.
