Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 473

As a teenager, I used to always run to my mother’s room and sob whenever I was bullied ruthlessly by Crystal and Yvette. And I would always take advantage of my father’s good mood to question him about my mother’s whereabouts. Despite that, he would often fly into a rage and slap me across the face. Gradually, I stopped asking him.

“I’m a grown-up now, Dad. You said it yourself before that once I become an adult, then I don’t need your care and concern anymore.” After saying that, I took a long deep breath. It was late summer, and the air was warm and humid. However, I somehow felt chilled to the bones.

Nathan’s face darkened at my remark. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out of his mouth. There was no remorse on his face, only calmness.

“You’ve grown up indeed, Yvonne. I can’t tell you what to do anymore.”

“You’re wrong again, Dad. How can I pretend I didn’t see it when you’ve already said so?” In the end, I couldn’t ignore his opinion.

When Christopher returned, I told him about the conversation I had with my father. There was a weird expression on his face as I recounted the conversation. All the while, he kept sighing at me as though he was at a loss of what to say.

“I’m a fool, ain’t I? Is that why you have nothing to say to me?” I asked as I scratched the back of my head. Not waiting for him to reply, I leaned over and wrapped my arms around his waist, and rested my head on his back. “I often think of myself as a fool. You were the only one who came to see me when I was in prison. None of my family members were there for me. He brought up the news about my mother, and I couldn’t refuse him.”

“He told you about it?” Christopher asked as he tapped the tip of my nose lightly with his finger.

“I didn’t agree to his terms.” The truth is, I’m a little surprised by all this myself. I said with a wry smile, “Chris, maybe I don’t miss her as much as I thought I would. So what if I know about her whereabouts? Am I supposed to go and find her? It’s been so many years, and she would have started a new family of her own. She probably had forgotten about me.”
