Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 650

“What does she have to do in your case with the Lane family?” Sabrina was confused.

I smacked my forehead and sighed. “You went on a vacation with Zachary back when Remington held his art exhibition, so you didn’t know about it. My art’s credit was stolen. It sold for an exorbitant price, and even art lovers overseas knew about it. You even congratulated me, but my name wasn’t on that painting. Crystal’s was.

I told Sabrina briefly about Isabelle’s demands, including why she was nice to Crystal. Sabrina didn’t think it was serious at first, but she was shocked when I told her my own mother wanted me to give the painting to Crystal. When she heard that Isabelle wanted me to marry Tobey, she almost went on a rampage.

“Yvonne, did you get dumber after your mother came back? You aren’t even that smart in the first place, and now you’ve gotten worse. Just say no, woman. I know you don’t want to make things tense, but that’s how it is with relationships. You haven’t seen her in years, so I know you want to get along with her, but giving in to her every demand is not going to work.”

I covered my face and sighed again. “What should I do then?”

“Simple. Tell her what your boundaries are, why you’re upset, and what you want her to do. It’s important. If you give in, she’ll just think you don’t mind her controlling you. You need to be frank.” Sabrina shrugged.

“Sabby, it’s a lot worse than you think it is. Just because I want to communicate, it doesn’t mean she’d listen.” I used to think Sabrina’s advice was great, but it was useless when it came to Isabelle. Of course, I would like to talk to Mom, but she refused to listen. If she refused to listen, then there was no use.

Sabrina, for once, was confused. “But that’s how families work. If communication fails, then are you even a family?” She scratched her head.
