Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 548

“Of course, that doesn’t matter anymore. What’s mine will still be mine. My daughter can’t get married without a proper dowry!” Isabelle smiled.

She wants to give me everything? Naturally, my first response was to refuse her offer. “I don’t want any of that, Mom. You know how I’ve always preferred drawing since I was a kid, right? I’m getting kind of famous now and a lot of people have acknowledged my artistic skills. I’m really happy to do what I like for a living, and I don’t need anything else.”

Isabelle gave me a strange look and said after a brief pause, “You silly girl! Why would you defend that scumbag father of yours after all the suffering they’ve put you through? You should spoil yourself a little sometimes, you know? I’d grant your requests even if they are selfish.”

“In that case, could you spare the Tanner family? I mean, we’re already free to live our own lives now. We don’t need to bother with certain things anymore,” I said softly.

I did sometimes want to be a little selfish but I couldn’t bring myself to do so with anyone other than Christopher. Isabelle and I seemed to have this barrier between us; things simply didn’t feel the same anymore. The cost of being selfish with her was far too great and I was afraid of losing what I had.

“Enough. Look, I know what I’m doing. Nathan wants to protect the Tanner family but he chose to send you while he hides in the back. How smart of him, treating us both like fools!”

Hearing that, I knew better than to say any further because she would get mad if I did. She then brought me shopping for clothes and had me try on a ton of them. She also bought a lot of clothes after simply asking for my size without me even trying them on.
