Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 631

It turned out they were arguing over Christopher and I; I sighed internally. Mark had said before that he would help me persuade Isabelle, but she never gave in. I thought that Mark had given up after Christopher refused to join his business.

“Do you even hear yourself? Please. Think about what you’re saying. Eve marrying Christopher is the best thing that could happen to her. Why are you being so stubborn?”

“If it were anything else, I would listen to you, but not this time. Mark, I know you are worried about your newly found daughter. However, can’t you extend that same consideration for me? I’ve been with you for so long. While I may hold the title of your wife, I will always be known as that woman that abandoned her husband and daughter. We never even had a wedding ceremony, yet I chose to leave with you.

“Similarly, I am willing to be just as determined for my family. Even if Yvonne ends up hating me, I won’t budge. He was my brother. Didn’t you look up to him too? If he wasn’t dead, maybe you guys might be good friends.” Isabelle covered her face with her hands and started to sob.

“Don’t bring up Robert in front of me. He was the one who didn’t want anything to do with me back then. Otherwise, you would have married me long ago,” Mark snapped back. When he saw Isabelle crying, he went up to give her a hug.

“After being together so many years, I know how good you are to me. I’ve always known. No matter how I mess up, you always forgive me. Since you chose me, you’re mine to cherish forever. You will always be a part of the Goldstein family now. So, how could I ever bear to hurt you?

“But when it comes to Eve, it’s different. She’s important to us both. Taking a step back will be better for all of us. Please, just give in this once. When everything is settled, you can do whatever you want to. I promise I won’t stop you, okay?”

Mark squeezed Isabelle gently on the shoulders. In his dark grey eyes, a glint flashed through. Looking at her, he said, “Promise me, Belle. Please.”

“N-No… I can’t… I really can’t.” Seeing him like this, Isabelle’s expression changed drastically. This was a sign that he was about to lose his temper. If they continued talking about this, she knew she was going to get in trouble.
