Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 649

Isabelle was quiet for a long time, but she eventually answered sadly, “Of course, I love you, my child. But you’re too soft. You break down from the slightest comment. I’m your mother. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“Hah! What a joke!” I shook my head tearfully. “If you really love me, you wouldn’t have left me to rot in the Tanner family. If you really love me, you wouldn’t have taken Crystal back to the Goldstein family! If you love me, you wouldn’t have forced me to do the things I don’t like time and again. If you love me, you wouldn’t have let Crystal mock me like I’m trash!”

Neither Isabelle nor I could stay calm when it came to Robert’s death. We could never take a step back, nor could we ever come up with a compromise. Julia didn’t kill him, but she was definitely related to his death. Yes, every irrational decision made by Isabelle would make it harder for me to deal with the case, but I wouldn’t get angry at her.

I was only mad at her because she tolerated Crystal. Crystal could mock me all she wanted, and Isabelle wouldn’t even do a thing. Instead, she would praise Crystal for calling me trash. Isabelle was my mother. She should be protecting me from any harm, but instead, she was enabling the abuse.

Even until this point, she didn’t realize her unbridled tolerance toward Crystal had hurt me on more levels than one.

“I think you really need to calm down. Just come back for lunch, and we’ll talk about it once we handle your father.” Isabelle was quiet for a moment again. “All right, that’s it. I still have something else to do.”

What does she mean by ‘handle’ Dad? I was annoyed by how she phrased that, and her hanging up on me only frustrated me more. I wanted to vent, but I had no outlet to do that.

At some point, it became impossible to communicate with Isabelle. There was a great gap between us that was difficult to bridge. I had to lie back on the sofa and stare at the ceiling for a long, long time to get rid of my depression.
