Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 370

Can I say no? I thought secretly to myself. Obviously, I can’t do that. God sure has a sense of humor giving Christopher a mother like Julia! I knew that she had deliberately called Christopher away to the office so that she could see me alone. However, I had no choice but to invite her in.

Although Christopher and I did not have a wedding, we were still married. This meant that Julia was my mother-in-law, even if she was not fond of me, I still had to be cordial to her. I politely invited her into the house and poured her a cup of tea. Julia surveyed the state of the house. I saw her lips twitch disapprovingly when her gaze fell on the unmade bed. I hastily stepped forward and closed the bedroom door.

“Mrs. Lane! Here, have some tea!” Christopher had repeatedly requested me to address his parents as ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’, but knowing that his mother disliked me, how could I bring myself to call her ‘Mom’? That would upset her even more.

Julia stared at me for a while. Then, she sat down with a look of disgust at the couch that I had just tidied up a moment ago. She kept silent and went on to scrutinize me.

Well, the house is messy, but I can’t help it! Your son and I just had it on the bed and the sofa, and if I had not stopped him, you would probably have walked in on us making love on the carpet right now! I thought helplessly to myself.

“You don’t go out for work? Do you just stay at home all day?” Julia finally spoke. She sounded displeased.

“Uh, yes!” Is Julia actually taking an interest in me? Is she starting to accept me? I really was naïve to be so optimistic even in such circumstances. Julia had made sure her son was out of the way before she came over. She obviously had no good intention if she did not want Christopher around during her visit.

“As a woman, it’s absolutely fine if you don’t work. As long her husband has the money, he’ll be able to provide her with everything that she desires. If nothing else, the Lane family definitely is not short of money.” Julia delicately sipped the tea that I had poured for her.
