Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 643

The name Robert had always been alien to me. I didn’t have any memory of him, and barely anyone brought him up when I was a kid. After Isabelle’s departure, nobody talked about him anymore. The only thing I know about my mysterious uncle was that he used to be a business genius.

However, one thing didn’t add up. Isabelle said that Robert’s business failed and was acquired back when the Scotts were at their zenith. If that was true, that would mean that he was no business genius. After all, If he was, he wouldn’t have run the company to the ground, nor would he commit suicide. I reckoned that something more must be going on.

Before we head over to the Lane residence, Christopher called his family behind my back, thinking that I wouldn’t know. I found out since I was on the balcony. I knew he was trying to make the relationship work, and he was worried I might argue with Julia again. He kept convincing Julia it was fine, and I felt sorry for him.

He was a proud, successful man, but he had to deal with all this bullsh*t because of me.

Sometimes, I thought I’ve failed him. He gave me what I wanted most: love and career. But I couldn’t even give him a simple love. Instead, he had to deal with all the troubles my mother and his mother were throwing around just so our relationship wouldn’t be ruined. If he didn’t do that, he wouldn’t be able to fulfill his promise of giving me a grand wedding.

I didn’t really mind though. I could do with or without the wedding since I already had the best things in life. The ceremony could be canceled and I couldn’t care less. Although someone might gossip or laugh at me, it was still not a concern to me. The most important thing was to be happy.

I used to dream of standing at the receptionist, receiving all the congratulations from the guests, but over time, I thought that was a silly dream. Now, all I wanted was Christopher. As long as he was there, I was okay with anything.

Nonetheless, I still couldn’t go against my mother’s wishes.

It was a sleepless night, so I turned around to look at him. He lost his arrogance when he was asleep, and it was replaced with a childlike smile. He was hugging me tightly, as if he was worried I might disappear if he let me go.
