Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 500

Many businessmen had also attended the after-party. As Christopher and I did a few rounds around the hall, some greeted him as if they were close friends. It was then I realized Christopher had worked in Anglandur before. He had even helped the Lane family closed a few business deals.

No wonder Julia was eager to hand over all the businesses under the Lane family to Christopher. I saw him negotiating casually within the group as though he’s the one in charge. He was really good with words and without giving his audience a chance to interrupt, he managed to bag a business deal within a short period. He was made to thrive in the business world.

Suddenly, my smile froze on my face. My gaze had landed on a woman in a fiery red dress. I was baffled and stood rooted in place.

The lady in red was poised. She had an elegant smile on her face. Accompanied by a gentleman, they slowly approached the hall. They were laughing and talking as though they were a perfect couple.

The lady was Isabelle Anderson, my mother. I was convinced the lady I saw three days ago was her.

After a few words with Remington, Christopher turned and noticed my expression. As he followed my line of sight and saw Isabelle, he asked, “She is the one?”

I closed my eyes, unable to explain my feelings at that moment. She’s my mother, yet I don’t even know the man by her side. She’s just right there, but I don’t have to courage to walk over there and greet her. How sad is this…

“Chris, let’s go.”

“Sure.” Without asking me anything, he tugged me toward the exit. Maybe Isabelle didn’t see me. She and her date was talking to a group of businessmen. There was only an independent woman’s astute and confidence on her face. It was completely different from the very gentle woman with a soft smile in my memory.
