Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 144

While I fell silent for a while, Sharon heaved a sigh and said melancholically, “You don’t have to help him out. I’m sure he has left to meet Crystal. When you two stood together and held hands, I saw that the smiles on your faces were stiff.”

“Ah!” I chuckled awkwardly, for I never thought Sharon would nail my lie straightforwardly. “Since you knew the answer, why do you have to ask me?”

Sharon’s expression turned grim as she sat still. Gazing at her, I felt that she looked pale-faced and dejected. As such, I comforted, “Grandma, Lyle and Crystal are meant for each other. They had no choice but to separate from one another back then. So, why don’t you consider giving them your blessing?”

I never imagined asking Sharon to give her blessing to Lyle and Crystal one day. Nevertheless, I didn’t do it out of generosity but only wished to get a divorce as soon as possible. I believed she understood the connotation in my words.

Isn’t it the best solution for everyone? Although Crystal always played tricks behind people’s backs, she dared not go overboard before Sharon. I felt that Crystal was afraid of Sharon since she was young, probably because Sharon knew her dirty tricks.

For instance, there was a time when Sharon figured out Crystal bullied a girl and framed me with it. Since then, Crystal would be afraid whenever she saw Sharon.

Sharon and I knew the reason that Crystal left very well. Nonetheless, I still wished that Sharon could accept her. Deep down, I never understood why Sharon resisted Crystal so much.

I guessed birds of a feather flocked together indeed. Sharon disliked Wendy but was fond of me; Wendy liked Crystal but loathed me.

“No way!” Sharon interrupted me seriously and bellowed, “I’ll never let a woman like Crystal be married into the Smith family. There is no way I’ll accept her!”

I was shocked to see Sharon’s reaction once I mentioned Crystal. It was as if Crystal committed some unforgivable crimes before.
