Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 658

“I had something to handle last night, so I…”

“I think you just don’t want to come back. Stop coming up with excuses. Mark is very angry. Yvonne, you listen well: you will resolve this matter properly. Do you hear me?” Mom roared from the other end of the line.

If I’m standing in front of her now, not only would she yell at me but she might even hit me. The words that I told her yesterday—did they have any effect at all? She just doesn’t care; that’s why she is acting like this now. I can’t take this! I have said everything I wanted to say, yet nothing has changed. Mom, is it so hard for you to love me a little more? Can you not make me sad because of the people around you?

I didn’t manage to speak out the words in my mind.

“I will find Dad and explain to him myself. Mom, you ask me to calm down but I think you should calm down, too. We both need some time to cool off, so we should stop meeting for the time being. It hurts our bond if you threaten our relationship every time we talk, so don’t talk like that again, okay?”

“Fine. Mark was furious last night. He didn’t even finish his meal at home. He even instructed people to take away all my authority at Goldstein Corporation. After you see Mark, ask him to restore all that he has stripped away and ask him to make me the Goldstein Corporation representative in Kenfort. Do you understand?” Isabelle said plainly.

“Got it. The Kenfort representative. I will ask Dad about it.” I lowered my gaze. So, she is mad because her interests are affected. Does she always place her own interests above me?

“Good that you know that! You are at the mansion, right? I will get someone to bring some tasty lunch over to you. You will take them to Mark’s office and settle the matter.”

Before Mom could hang up, I couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, don’t you have anything else to say to me?”

“What?” Isabelle was a bit stunned. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I… It’s nothing. I will call you later after I head to the office.” I am already used to the disappointment. I would rather things stay the same and not ask any further questions. Nothing is going to change anyway.

“There is no need to call me. I will go and meet you downstairs from the office.”

Mom had a lot of secrets and she kept them close to her heart. Those secrets seemed to burden her. They made her unapproachable and unable to trust the people around her.

“Mom, maybe you should try trusting me a little. I’m your daughter, after all. No matter what happens, I will be there to share your burden. Even if there are no benefits for me, I will still help you. After all, you are my family.”

I rarely got emotional in front of her. After saying that, I quickly hung up the phone as my heart raced. Seems like I still want to go back to the way things were with Mom.

The trip to Goldstein Corporation to see Dad was relatively smooth. Mark had always pampered me. As soon as I mentioned the matter about Mom, he agreed.

My phone rang. I looked down and saw it was a message from Mom. Tonight at Moonlight Cafe. Help me deal with Tobey.

Looking at the message, I shook my head and smiled. She’s tried to word it nicely; I shouldn’t turn her down.
