Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 57

“They truly love each other. They have for ten years. If you hadn’t got in between them, they wouldn’t have broken up. Now that they have finally gathered up their courage to give it another try, you wouldn’t be so heartless to separate them from each other again, would you?”

Tears started streaming down my sister’s face as she whimpered, looking pitiful. Even though I was the victim of being slapped just a second ago, Yvette had managed to make me look like the villain of this story.

“So she’s the true mistress. And here I was about to offer her my sympathy. Sure ain’t worth it,” mocked Crystal.

“Damn right it isn’t. Lyle and Crystal have been in love with each other for ten years. She was the one who forced herself between them and caused their separation. Women like her deserve to get beaten up.”

Unfortunately, it just so happened that Wendy had emerged from the restroom and heard the last line. Upon seeing Crystal’s messy state, Wendy stormed forward and slapped me twice without a second thought. “I knew you had ulterior motives, Yvonne! What did Crystal do to deserve this?”

Murmurs started to rise around us, just like what had happened in the banquet last time. Even though I was not in the wrong, I was still the one being accused at the end of the day, abandoned by all with no one by my side. Despite all that had happened, I kept my gaze firmly on Lyle.

Even after hearing them calling me the mistress, he had not once spoken up on my behalf. I closed my eyes before taking a deep breath. “Lyle Smith, do you also see me as the homewrecker that got in the way of your future with Crystal?”

“Can you stop being unreasonable? You shouldn’t have hurt Crystal,” he responded with a voice as cold as ice.

“I’m unreasonable?” My eyes flew wide open in shock. “Lyle Smith, you were the one who never believed me. When you were hooking up with some other woman behind my back, did the fact that I am your wife ever cross your mind?” Exhaustion filled my eyes as I looked at Lyle, my gaze hard. To my surprise, my eyes were not welling up; perhaps I was too disappointed to even have any energy to cry over him.

“You cheated on me with Christopher too! If I hadn’t seen you two myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
