Spoil My Sweet Window

Chapter 28

Crystal’s mood was complicated. “But, but I was just an infant at that time. How could I know these things?”

“I understand what you mean, but I can’t deny the fact that we lost our mother because of you.” A trace of sadness flashed across Antony’s eyes. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Crystal lowered her line of sight, standing quietly.

Antony heaved a long sigh of relief. “Crystal, I’m saying all these because I want to tell you that there’s no place for you in the Evans family anymore. Do you understand what I mean?”

Crystal’s eyelashes trembled slightly, making Antony think that she was crying. The next second, she raised her eyes, looking calm. “I understand.”

After Antony left, she lay on the bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

She remembered when she was in Sunshine Village, her grandmother often hit her. Her mother was just watching from the side, didn’t even want to help her. Even when she cried and shouted, her mother was still indifferent. There were also times that her mother would hit her even harder than what her grandmother had done to her.

When she was young, she had been wondering why other mothers loved their children, except for her own mother.

She had always thought that no one loved her in this world. Now, she knew that the person who loved her most in the world was her biological mother. The mother that had given up her own life to give birth to her.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a message popped up on her phone.

“Come out for supper.”

Crystal crawled out of bed and made a call. Soon, a man’s deep and pleasant voice came from the phone.

“You don’t know who I am?”

“Are you Master White? It’s so late. What’s the matter?”

It was dead silent on Harold’s side. She could even hear the wind blowing. Still, his voice was special. “Are you hungry?”

“Well, I haven’t had dinner yet.” Crystal touched her poor belly and felt a little wronged.

“Then come out and have dinner with me. It’s an all-seafood feast.”

She suddenly came to her senses but lay down again in the next second. “Of course I want to go, but the Evans family’s house is too big. I forgot how I got in.”

Was this the life of rich people? How could they build a house like a maze? Were they afraid of burglars?

“Tsk, then forget it.”

Thinking of the seafood feast, Crystal desperately pleaded, “Don’t, don’t, please. I’ll get out now.”

She jumped off the bed, changed her clothes, and walked out. When she reached the garden, she was completely confused. Should she turn left or turn right?

Crystal scratched her hair. What kind of lousy design was this? She could only seek Harold’s help. “Master White, I can’t find the way out…”

Luke was wiping his gun when Harold, who was next to him, suddenly chuckled. The latter then said, “That little idiot got lost in the Evans’. I’ll take her out.”

Luke was not surprised. He said in a very tacit way, “Okay, I’ll inform them to postpone the time now.”

Harold rubbed his temples. “This girl is really foolish.”

Afraid of being seen by others, Crystal had been squatting in the corner, waiting. After a long time without seeing Harold coming to pick her up, she got up again and decided to try her luck. Walking around, she found nothing else but walls.

She sighed a few times, feeling so stupid. While she was lowering her head, a shadow jumped into the courtyard. Crystal thought that she had seen a ghost. She almost cried, but that shadow covered her mouth.

When Crystal smelled the smell of tobacco in the other party’s hand, her mind went blank for a moment. How could it be such a good smell?

“Don’t tell me you want to shout for help.” Harold’s magnetic voice was above her head. “If you do, the Evans family will definitely think that you were fooling around with a wild man in the middle of the night.”
