Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 70

“All right, Grandma.” I managed a smile.

Maybe I could continue to wait for some more time. Lyle was already set on leaving me. Perhaps she would agree to it if he was the one to say it. Besides, Sharon could have as many granddaughter-in-laws as she liked. Even if she did not fancy Crystal, I could still come by and visit her.

Her face split into a wide grin as she called Lyle, asking him to come over for a meal. However, her hope was crushed when he did not show up. I reckoned that Josephine told him that I was here too, instead of saying Sharon missed him. Otherwise, he would have shown up.

Wasn’t he looking for me though? Even though I did not know what it was about, I reckoned it wouldn’t be something good. He must be calling to ask me to put up an act to clear Crystal’s name. What else could it be?

“Eve, don’t worry. I will demand Lyle to explain everything to you,” Sharon said sternly before I left the house.

My heart swelled at her remark. She still cared about me, but I could not say the same for Lyle. From the moment I threw my ring away, I had drawn the line to steer clear of him. As long as what he wanted did not concern me, I vowed not to give a dime about what he was up to.

It was only half a year until Sharon’s seventieth birthday celebration. Half a year should be enough to make her realize how much Lyle hated me, and how much he wanted nothing to do with me. Perhaps she wouldn’t be adamant about the idea of me staying together with him after witnessing all that.

I gave Christopher a call and told him all about my conversation with my grandma. I was even telling him these trivial matters that did not concern him. Is this a good or bad thing?

“Grandma really loves me. She always wants the best for me. She thinks I’ll be happy if I stay together with Lyle. I’m afraid that I have to disappoint her this time.”

I let out a sigh and started to complain as I walked down the street. “Why doesn’t Lyle care about his elder? I am an outsider, and yet I worry about Grandma being affected by the news. I don’t know what is up with him that he’s willing to let this go out of hand. Is he out of his mind or what?”
