Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 69

“Grandma!” I burrowed myself in her chest and burst into a violent sob as I wiped the tears streaming down my cheeks. I really did not intend to break down in front of her, and I was actually here to comfort her. However, it proved to be impossible for me to hold back my tears at the sight of her.

“My good child, just let it all out. Everything is going to be alright afterward.” She patted my back gently and coaxed me like I was a child.

The crying went on for quite some time before I could finally bring it to a stop. Seeing that the wind got stronger, I summoned Josephine and steadied Sharon back into the house. Perhaps it was because I had been crying for a long time, but I kept burping, and nothing I did could stop it. Josephine kindly brought me a glass of hot water, and I drank it all in one go before I finally felt better.

“How dare that brat cheat on you! Now everyone knows about this! Eve, don’t worry. Grandma will make this right by you. That wretched girl has to go through me to marry into the Smiths. You are the only granddaughter-in-law whom I approve of,” Sharon said sternly.

“Grandma, it’s alright. Lyle has only had eyes for Crystal since the very beginning. I don’t want to stand in their way any longer. I’m going to divorce him.” I summoned all my courage and told her about my intention of getting a divorce.

“Grandma, I’m really too tired to go on any longer. Don’t trouble yourself over this, okay? Even if I’m no longer your granddaughter-in-law, I will still treat you as my dearest grandma. I promise I will come by often to visit you, okay?”

I chose my words carefully and watched my tone. Sharon’s face grimaced at the mention of divorce, and I tactfully bit my tongue, fearing that she might faint again.

“Eve!” She heaved out a long sigh and sent Josephine to fetch her medicine. She took quite a number of seemingly different pills before she finally said, “I watched you grow up, and I noticed that you liked Lyle when you came over to my house to play for the very first time. You’re an innocent and honest girl, and I really took a liking for you since then. That’s the reason I insisted for Lyle to marry you.”
