Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 53

The moment I saw them, I wanted to run, but my feet were glued to the ground. I cursed myself for feeling a coward in front of the three bullies. Moreover, Wendy was still my mother-in-law, so I couldn’t ignore her and leave.

“Yvonne, what a coincidence! Are you shopping as well?” Crystal put a grin on her elegant face.

“Yeah, hi!” I greeted her with a forced smile. Christopher was still talking over the phone. I immediately bid him farewell and hung up to focus on the upcoming confrontation.

No matter how hard one tried, life could still feel stressful. That was how I felt at that moment. I wished I didn’t have to accommodate these women, but I had to.

“Geez! You spend all day loafing around while Lyle works so hard at the company. Don’t you care about him? I can’t understand why he married you in the first place. Grrr!” Wendy scoffed sarcastically.

I merely smiled because I didn’t have an answer to that question. Then, my gaze shifted to Crystal. The two locked arms like a real mother-daughter duo.

“Mrs. Smith, don’t say that. After all, she quitted her job after she married Lyle. Naturally, she has more free time. Wow, what a nice watch you got there. I bet it is worth over two million. Lucky you, Lyle treats you so well,” Yvette chimed in.

Maintaining my silence, I glanced at my watch which was my most valuable possession. Christopher had trapped it to my wrist before I left the suite in the morning to remind me not to be home late.
