Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 640

I already knew that when I accidentally listened in on Mom and Dad’s conversation that day. After seeing how resolute she was about the matter with Christopher, I realized that she would never compromise.

I felt a little lost. Why was Mom acting so differently ever since she returned?

“Tell me that you won’t be seeing Christopher or anyone from the Lane family again.” Isabelle took a feather duster out of nowhere and whipped me with it.

She kept yelling with each whip, “Tell me you won’t see Christopher again and keep in contact with them. Tell me…”
