Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 160

I ignored what he said and left the shopping mall. Deep down, I felt that Lyle didn’t understand me at all. While I was gentle and timid, my pride and self-esteem were a lot more than he imagined.

Back then, after Nathan drove me out of home, I didn’t ask for money from him but worked in the basement to make ends meet. After Lyle hurt me badly, I was brave enough to forgo my eight years of secret crush and two years of marriage. These were proofs that I could be resolute whenever I wanted to.

However, he thought I was the same nose of wax, who was obedient to him.

As I was deep in thought, I opened my handbag and looked at the gift I prepared for Nathan—a slightly old-fashioned necktie. Initially, I wanted to deliver it to him via courier. After the incident, Scarlett and Yvette would claim that I dared not go home because I was guilty. Therefore, I decided to go, for I wanted them to shut their mouths. I would leave as soon as possible if all of them were unhappy to see me.

It had been a long time since I returned to the Tanner residence. As I stood at the entrance, I somehow felt unfamiliar with it. Although it was my home and supposedly haven, I seldom came back after I turned eighteen.

The servants opened the door for me coldly and didn’t even serve me with a glass of water. Given that servants there disrespected me, I was indeed a nobody in the Tanner family.

Nathan and Scarlett were chatting happily on the couch. Nonetheless, the atmosphere changed the moment I came in. The next moment, Nathan sneered, slammed the table with his hand, and said, “Why are you here?”

Judging from his tone, I knew that something wasn’t right. I came up to him, put down the necktie on the table, and said calmly, “I bought it from the mall just now. Happy birthday, Dad.”

“Why should I be happy? How can you have the cheek to give me something that you stole from the mall?” Nathan flung the necktie to the floor and said, “I don’t have such a disgraceful daughter.”

Knowing that they loathed my presence, I wanted to leave the Tanner residence once I finished packing. As I arrived at the door, I was suddenly hit by something from behind. I turned around and realized that it was the necktie that I spent two hours choosing for Nathan.

“Take your belonging away. I can’t accept any stolen goods,” Nathan said coldly.

As I picked up the necktie, I noticed the smug smiles on Scarlett and Yvette’s faces. Besides, Yvette, who was leaning against Nathan, turned her thumb down at me provokingly. I turned around to look at Nathan, who glared at me, and said curtly, “It’s fine if you don’t want it. I wish the three of you a happy and harmonious life.”

After exiting the Tanner residence, I lifted my arm and threw the necktie into the dustbin. Also, I told myself that I wouldn’t come back ever again.
