Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 502

The reunion between a mother and daughter who hadn’t seen each other for many years should have been exceedingly touching. However, even Isabelle herself could sense the distance between us. Not only did her feeble consolation and words that cut me to the quick fail to reduce the distance between us, but they had blood gushing from my wound instead.

After she had left, and the family had an addition of a stepmother and her daughter, how good would my life be as a child with no mother? Had she never considered all that? I just wanted a hug from her and for her to tell me how much she missed me and console me for having suffered in her absence while sobbing. But she didn’t say that to me. She merely uttered vapid words of how Nathan took good care of me!

I didn’t stay at the party. Christopher kept comforting me after returning to the hotel, but I remained despondent.

“Since you missed her so much, why didn’t you talk to her nicely? You really should have kept a tight rein on your temper. Look, you only caused yourself to be so crestfallen and regretful instead. I’ve truly pampered you too much,” Christopher lamented with a sigh as he hugged me.

“Perhaps I expected too much.” I rubbed my red and swollen eyes before forcing a chuckle. “Chris, I really wanted to throw myself into her arms and exclaim for joy that I’ve finally found her and now have a mother at long last. But I truly couldn’t bring myself to do so anymore at her feeble words of consolation. Do you think I went overboard?”

“You only did something many people will do, so it’s human nature. When you see her next time, talk to her nicely.”

Talk to her nicely? I inwardly heaved a sigh. I’m afraid that I might not know what to say to her.

“She might still put in an appearance at the party tomorrow, so communicate with her properly then.”

“Okay,” I answered wanly. Instead of anticipating meeting her again, I was instead filled with apprehension.

On the second day of the party, a charity auction was held at the Pelagic Museum. Ansley donated an old painting from his collection and declared that he would be channeling the proceeds from the auction of the painting to impoverished areas. Likewise, the rest of us could also donate the proceeds from the auction of our paintings to the country on the spot.
