Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 35

Usually, others would express their concerns over their child’s wellbeing after such a serious incident. As I couldn’t take it anymore, I interrupted him and said, “Dad, if you’re going to talk about the banquet in the afternoon, don’t worry because I’ll be there. Is there anything else?”

“Crystal has been away for a few years. Hence, I don’t want anyone to mess up the banquet. You better keep that in mind and show up on time with Lyle. Otherwise, get yourself ready to bear the consequences of your mistakes!”

He hung up the call once he made himself clear. I had a hard time comprehending the reason he was worried Lyle wouldn’t show up. My so-called husband was way more pumped up than me the moment he found out Crystal would soon be back. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Has he no shame at all? He picked a fight with me on Bianca’s behalf a few days ago, yet he’s currently pumped up for Crystal’s return.

Since Crystal has forsaken him for once for the sake of her career, I’m pretty sure she’s going to do it again!

When the image of Lyle returning to Crystal and being ditched all over again flashed back in my mind, I realized how pathetic I was. At the end of the day, I was nothing more than Lyle’s backup, and Lyle was the same to Crystal.

After putting on a relatively plain-colored dress, I departed without going through the hassle of dolling myself up. On my way there, I encountered Nancy going on a date with a handsome man.

The man had a pair of aqua-blue eyes and a charming smile. I winked at her because I finally figured out the reason she couldn’t make it to the banquet. Well, who would want to waste their time attending a pointless banquet when they could spend some quality time with their loved ones?

Once Nancy greeted me and noticed I had a relatively simple look for the banquet, she rolled her eyes and yelled, “Yvonne, are you giving up already? Oh, God! Come on!”

I noticed the differences between us once I compared myself against Nancy, who was in her best fit for the date. We were both from a renowned family, but we were nothing similar.

Never had I learned the proper way to doll up myself because I wasn’t given a chance to pick my clothes. The ones I had were the used ones from Crystal and Yvette. They were either of the right sizes with odd patterns or vice versa.

“I don’t think it’s necessary for me to put on my best fit for a banquet that’s held for Crystal.” I could barely convenience myself with the random excuse I had made up out of the blue.

Immediately after Nancy encountered me, she bade farewell to the man next to her and brought me to a nearby studio. “Yvonne, if you refuse to dress up, I won’t allow you to step out of this studio! How can you not do anything when everyone’s aware Nancy and Lyle used to be in a relationship?”

Standing at the entrance of the studio, I rebuked with my lips pursed, “Actually, he still has a thing for her as we speak. Since it’s not going to change a thing, shall we forget about it? It’s not like I’ll be a match for Crystal even if I doll myself up.”

Nancy almost strangled me to death as she dragged me all the way into the studio. She forced me to take a seat in front of the makeup artist and said, “I want you to prove yourself wrong! Where’s the woman that kissed Christopher in front of everyone? Who’s this coward in front of me?”

She had been exaggerating things because I was just a pathetic woman who had little to no savings. The dress I had put on was the one I purchased more than a year ago. It was about time for me to get myself a job. Otherwise, I would have to live on the streets soon.

I told them to try their best within the budget of three thousand, but Nancy stopped me and instructed the makeup artists to get me their best fit. In the end, she dropped me off at Tanner residence and urged, “Show me the things you’re capable of if you’re afraid of wasting my time and effort! I’m sure you’re going to be just fine without Lyle!”
