Unexpectedly Married to a Billionaire (Lorraine and Logan)

Chapter 70

“Let’s go home. It’s a holiday tomorrow, Lorraine said.

Logan was jealous, but he kept it to himself. He helped Finnegan and Lana in the pickup truck while Lorraine climbed into the back seat with them since her pickup truck lacked child safety seats.

Logan shot her a frustrated yet yearning glance, but she didn’t notice. With a sigh, he settled into the driver’s seat.

He planned to call Michael as soon as they got home to arrange for two child safety seats to be installed in Lorraine’s truck the next day. That way, the kids could ride safely in the back, and she could sit next to him.

While driving, he asked, “Why did Vanessa call earlier? Did she run into troub

She hesitated briefly before replying, “It’s about her sister–in–law, Donna. I’ve never met anyone so shameless. She’s getting married, and since the groom’s family can’t afford a house, they all expect Vanessa to give up a floor of her apartment building for them.

“Vanessa is just her sister–in–law, not her mother. Why should Vanessa give up her property to her? Vanessa’s in–laws are always trying to take advantage of her.” Lorraine had nothing but contempt for Donna even though they were the same age.

She continued, “Donna has a habit of borrowing Vanessa’s makeup and skincare products without asking despite Vanessa telling her off repeatedly. She never cha Vanessa doesn’t want to argue over trivial things

“But now, asking for an entire floor in an apartment building as a wedding gift? That’s too much, The very thought of it made Lorraine furious.

“They could rent an apartment unit if they’re short on cash. Then, they could work their way up to owning a house. Nobody earns money without putting in the effort. You don’t just get it of thin.

Logan nodded and thought Vanessa had spoiled Donna too much. He said, “Vanessa should’ve set clear boundaries from the beginning, especially when Donna started taking her things. Now, her in– laws see her as a pushover.”

Lorraine sighed. “Vanessa really loves her husband, Jaden. When they were dating, his family promised her a dowry, jewelry, and even a car. But once she got pregnant, they didn’t follow through This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

They figured she was already part of their family since she was already pregnant. We were all furious and advised her to break off the engagement, but she loved him and couldn’t bear to abort the baby

“Vanessa even went on a hunger strike. Eventually, my parents took pity on her and agreed to the marriage.”

The Sommers weren’t thrilled with the Wares, but they put up with them for Vanessa’s sake. Whenever Jaden and Vanessa visited, they treated him warmly and showered her with

Lorraine, who managed several orchards, would often send Vanessa fresh fruits while their parents gave her livestock and vegetables from their garden.

Lorraine said, “After the wedding, Mom had to step in when Bethany, Vanessa’s mother–in–law, tried to boss Vanessa around. Jaden is usually really nice to her as well. You’ve seen how affectionate they are. Vanessa is very devoted to her in–laws as well

“Bethany had four sons before finally having a daughter who’s my age, and she’s incredibly spoiled. She can be selfish and thoughtless. She often plays with Joshua, who seems to have picked up some of her bad habits.”

Lorraine shook her head at the mention of Joshua. He was afraid of her because she didn’t spoil him. Once, he tore up one of her design drafts, and she whacked him. None of the elders could stopher, so now, he behaved himself around her.
