Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 546

I had wanted to tell Dad about my marriage with Christopher as it was killing me to keep so many things bottled up, but I held my tongue because I knew he wouldn’t care.

“I was just curious, that’s all. Mom seemed to care a lot about Uncle Robert when she spoke to me the other day. She’s really sad about his death, too. Do you know how Uncle Robert died?”

Nathan shuddered and said after a brief pause, “The Andersons were quite a prominent family in Avenport back in the day. Robert was a brilliant businessman, but his stubbornness and arrogance got to him and he couldn’t get back up after taking a few huge blows. The Andersons faced bankruptcy after a major project of theirs failed, and Robert… Well, he couldn’t take it and jumped off a building.”

“Really?” I remember Mom telling me that Julia was the last person Uncle Robert saw before he died, but it seemed everyone else thought he had taken his own life.

“That’s right. He jumped from Centurion Tower ten years ago. That building was owned by the Andersons, and your mom has been conflicted about it ever since. It happened shortly after we got married,” Nathan said in a low voice.

My mind was completely filled with thoughts about Christopher after leaving the hospital that I ignored both Crystal’s taunts as well as the strange looks Scarlett and the others gave me.

I thought about paying the Goldstein family a visit even though I really disliked them, which was probably due to the conflicts I had with the Tanners.

While crossing the street, I saw Mom and Darius on the other side. They seemed to be having an unpleasant conversation, judging by the angry look on Mom’s face. Darius, on the other hand, looked helpless as though he was plagued with guilt. He was trying to tell Mom something, but she simply brushed his arm off and walked away.

The two of them used to be really close and nearly became a couple. I waited until Mom drove off in her car before coming around the corner.

Darius stood there in place for quite a while, only to jump in shock when he noticed me standing next to him. “You saw everything?”
