Chapter 53
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-inw, 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 uing 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 amodate these women, but I had to.
“Geez! You spend all day loafing around while Lyle works so hard at thepany. Don’t you care about
him? I can’t understand why he married you in the first ce. 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 nced 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 homete.
“Has the cat got your tongue? Gosh, you’re such a disgrace! Come on, follow us.” As usual, Wendy was
being unreasonable.
She took the lead like a queen bee and we trailed behind her when she walked into a shopping mall.
Then she whispered something to Crystal and chortled. I wanted to leave, but my feet just wouldn’t
budge.
Wendy had her ways to make my life a living hell at home. After I married Lyle, she turned the Smiths
against me too. Initially, I would stand up for myself. She was too formidable, and I gave up fighting.

The trio shopped as I struggled to carry everything gifts from Wendy to Crystal. In return, Crystal bought
a ne for her and tossed a few words of praise. Surely she was ecstatic.
Panting, I tried to keep up with the mountain of bags. Nobody offered to help.
“Yvonne, hi! It has been a while, huh?” My little sister walked over to me with a mischievous grin. Before I
could respond, she stepped on my foot really hard while no one was watching.
The pain made me lose my bnce, and I fell face-first onto the ground. Passerby chattered amongst
themselves as they watched me. It was humiliating.
Wendy roared, “Yvonne! You’re doing this on purpose, don’t you? Can’t you walk properly? Gosh, you
are a good-for-nothing!”
I ignored her and massaged my toes to ease the pain. Then I gazed up at Yvette to see her mocking me.
“I’m sorry, Yvonne. I didn’t notice your hands are full. Here, let me help you.” Crystal came up to me and
reached out her hands. Yet, I declined her offer to assist and scrambled up myself. Then I figured it was
a chance for me to excuse myself from that evil mother-inw.
