Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 582

I frowned unwittingly as Scarlett’s voice rang out in the background on the other end. Isabelle had only just agreed to let the Tanners off the hook. If Scarlett made another ruckus at this time and pissed Isabelle off, the latter might just change her mind.

The chaotic noise went on for a long while before Nathan’s voice came back on the line, asking in a hushed voice, “Did your mother say anything else?”

I shook my head. “All she said was that she needed to discuss something important with you in person. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about. I’m sure everything’s going to be okay since she’s already promised me she wouldn’t take any action on your family.”

“That’s good to know.” Nathan sounded relieved.

After a moment’s hesitation, I added tentatively, “Dad, I think it’d be better if you come alone. Mom’s temper is no longer as it used to be. I mean, she’s still a gentle soul, but you’ve hurt her quite badly. So… Do you get what I mean?”

Keeping in mind that he was my father, I was aware that there were certain things I couldn’t say without being outright inappropriate. However, I still had to give him a heads up about this.

“Yes, I get what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll come alone later.”

It was indeed better that way. He and Isabelle would need to talk things out to resolve their issues. If a whole bunch of other Tanners tagged along – forget about talking – the meeting would inevitably turn into a full-blown wrestling match.

Crystal and the others, especially, would definitely seize the opportunity to find trouble with me.

After the phone call ended, I went and knocked on Isabelle’s door, entering only after she asked me to. She was in the midst of dolling herself up and was adding the final touch by slapping on some lipstick. Then she stood before me, twirling her long, red dress, asking, “How do I look? Is this too much?”

It had been years since she last saw Nathan. Seeing the amount of effort she put in to look her best, it was evident that she cared about this meeting immensely. As for Nathan, he clearly felt the same, judging from the way his voice lit up with excitement when he was speaking about Isabelle earlier. It really made me wonder, if they never stopped loving each other, then why had they still chosen to betray each other those years ago?

Is this simply how fate toys with people?
