Crystal stood up, but when she tried to pass Nathan, he blocked her way. She gave him a dirty look and said, “Professor Davis, would you please make way for me?”
Nathan immediately slid out of the way, but as she took her first step, she tripped on his foot and sat on Nathan’s leg. Crystal was wearing a thin skirt, so when she landed on Nathan, she could feel the heat of his body through the delicate material. She felt his hot breath on her neck when he opened his mouth; when he said, “You’re getting good at this.”
Crystal, of course, understood the words’ dual meaning, but she was not in the mood to have a fierce battle of the tongue with him in front of her classmates, mainly because some of them - especially the girls - thought that she had fallen on his leg on purpose.

When Crystal arrived at the cell phone store, she saw a nervous boy standing by the door, and as she approached, she was surprised to discover that he was Frank. Crystal took off the headphones and said, “Hey, what are you doing here?”“Well, I’m waiting... Waiting for you,” Frank replied.“You’re waiting for me….” Crystal said.“What’s up?” She looked up and saw that the sign on the store’s door said, “CLOSED.”Frank: “My friend Reg called me and said that he is hosting a dinner party tonight at a nearby restaurant. He asked me to take you there so that he can give you your phone. He would have called you, but you didn’t leave your number.”
As Crystal gradually awoke, she began to smell the mint fragrance that she associated with Nathan. Then, when she opened her eyes, they confirmed her suspicion. For a moment, she stared blankly at Nathan’s thin lips, and the longer she looked at him, the more attracted to him she felt.Nathan put his left arm under Crystal’s knees and wrapped his right arm around her waist, and she put her arms around the back of his neck. Then she pressed her hot lips on Nathan’s. Crystal felt like she was drowning, and she turned to Nathan and looked at him in the way that one might look at a Life Buoy.Nathan frowned, and he stifled his male physiological response as Crystal touched him and kissed him recklessly. He had never seen Crystal like this, and a voice cried out in his mind - Get out of here! Quick!
Crystal looked at Serenity and asked, “What did Nathan do when he saw Frank’s shrine to me in his house?”Serenity: “Professor Davis nearly blew a gasket. He tore up the photos and the inflatable dolls, and then he burned the pieces in the backyard. He is usually calm and polite, so it was pretty scary to see him lose control of himself like that.”Crystal shook her head and said, “You’ve got it all wrong. His calm and polite persona is just an act. The way you saw him when he was angry is what he is really like.”Serenity: “That can’t be true. After all, Professor Davis said that he didn’t feed Frank to the sharks. As you know, Frank is one of his students. Professor Davis fired him, though, and then he threw him into a mine. It will take Frank ten y
Nathan met Crystal’s eyes in the mirror, and his brow furrowed furiously. “What is your problem?” he shouted. All he knew was that Crystal wanted to divorce him. “I would think that the advantages of being married to me would outweigh the disadvantages, but not only do you not want to talk about our marriage, but you want to keep it a secret! What’s up with that? How long until we can’t make our marriage public?”“We can make it public after I graduate,” Crystal replied.Nathan: “That will do.”It was a ten-minute drive from their home to the supermarket, and when they arrived, Nathan followed Crystal into the store. They got a cart to put the groceries in, and as they were walking through the produce section, someone pushed Crystal against Nathan, an
A store manager came around the corner as Nathan was standing up. He looked at Nathan, then at Crystal, and finally at the mess on the floor. She smiled nervously and said, “Excuse me, sir, but are you responsible for this mess?”Nathan stood up and turned to look at the girl, and when she saw his face for the first time, she gasped, and her jaw nearly hit the floor. The girl wore the blue and red uniform that was a requirement of all supermarket employees. She had a symmetrical face and a pretty smile, and when she saw Nathan, her face flushed. She immediately lowered her head, held out a book with both hands, and said, “I don’t need to ask you to pay for anything. I know you didn’t break it on purpose. I just want you to leave us your phone number. That way, if there is an investigation, we can contact you.”Nathan stared a
Crystal frowned and said, “Oh, no! What a pity. I was going to cook a big lunch for you. I am so sorry! What now?”Nathan shrugged, and as he turned around, he said, “We can go out to eat, and you can cook for me tonight or another time!”“Yes!” Crystal exclaimed. “We can go out for lunch. My treat. And then I’ll make dinner for you tonight!”“Sounds good to me,” Nathan said.They hadn’t driven far when Nathan’s phone rang. He accepted the call through the car’s Bluetooth. It was Andy, Nathan’s assistant. After exchanging pleasantries, Andy said, “Mr. Grant just arrived with a contract. You have an appointment with him at noon. Did you forget?”
Joyce walked over to where Crystal and Nathan were seated. She looked over the table and out their window and then at Crystal. “Well, well, well,” she said. “Since when can just anyone get a table at Air Cosme?” She turned to the manager, “I want this table. You can ask them to leave. I will pay double for everything I ordered.The manager sighed and said, “I’m afraid that is not the way we operate here. As long as Mr. Davis is here, this is his table.”“No,” Joyce whined. “I want this table!”She stomped her feet.” I want it! “I want it! I want it!Suddenly, Carlos grabbed Joyce’s arm. His face was red, “Let’s eat somewhere else,” he said. “You’re caus
The restaurant owner took Nathan’s black credit card, turned around, and told the waiters to invite all customers to leave politely. It wasn’t a surprise, of course, that some of the customers were dissatisfied. A man in a black suit complained to his wife, saying, “Money is not everything. I’m enjoying my dinner...”A man from the next table asked him, “How much did they give you to leave?”“A million dollars,” the man in the suit replied.“Me too,” the other man said. “What the fuck! Who is that man? If he is paying each table a million dollars to leave, it will cost him over ten million dollars to clear the place out -plus, he is paying for our meals!”At this time, the waiter walked over to
Crystal looked at Mrs. Bush in a trance.“Amos Davis is…”Eric stood up and pressed the wound with a swab of alcohol.“Is Amos Davis Nathan’s father?” Crystal asked again.“Yes.” Eric looked down at her. “Are you surprised?”“So you and Nathan...”“You have a good imagination. We are not related.”“What about the child?”“Isn’t it obvious? The child’s death was the main cause of her nervous breakdown.” Eric held out his injured hand and said, “Honey, aren’t yo
At night, Crystal woke up sweating from her nightmare.The servant somehow slipped down on the carpet and fell asleep by the door.Crystal opened her eyes in tears. It was dark and still. She looked down at the overlapping lights, her heart aching as if she had been sliced open by razor blades.She tiptoed out of bed and picked up the phone from the bedside table.She walked barefoot into the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and stared at the black screen for a while.A week before, she had lost control of herself and seemed to have unconsciously dialed the number she had branded at her fingertips.But there came a female voice without feeling:
Eric looked at Crystal in shock.“You can rest assured that these small cuts will not affect the child’s physical health. And it won’t affect your revenge on Nathan!” Crystal said happily, her jaw suddenly strangled.Eric clutched her jaw tightly. “I thought you were a strong woman, but you’re just so vulnerable.”“That’s right. I’m vulnerable. Didn’t you know that?”That was why Eric asked the servant to put the blades away.Just now, it was also the servant who heard that Crystal was looking for the blade, so she rushed to find Eric immediately.Looking at the sweat on his forehead, the way he was out of bre
Inside the villa, doctors came in and out. Luckily, Eric sent Crystal into his car, and he gave her warm measures in time and kept her cold feet warm.“Miss Smith and the baby are fine. But Miss Smith was cold and somewhat weak. As for her feet, it’s taboo to touch cold water in this weather,” replied the doctor. “You’d better help her now, help her to activate her blood lest she might fall off rheumatism when she is older.Eric had Crystal’s feet rubbed by himself with the best essential oil.Crystal fell asleep in a daze. Her tears never stopped, as though she had dreamt of something sad.Her dry lips moved, calling someone’s name.Eric got close enough to hear her.
Crystal seemed to see Nathan staring at her with an angry face in her bewilderment.Her heart was beating wildly across her chest. She broke down and wanted to reach out and let him take her away.Suddenly, she didn’t want to take care of anything. She was not as strong as she thought.She just wanted a man who loved her, and she loved. She wanted to be cared for, have a child, and live a simple life. But the next second, the figure turned into Eric.He held down the handrail of the wooden bridge and jumped into the lake.Splash! Splash!Several bodyguards also jumped down one after another.Eric quickly walked over to her, took
Vic came in from the outside and was quite surprised to see this scene.He had expected Nathan’s return to make up with Crystal.Crystal was thrown into the bathroom, and her body crashed against the cold porcelain wall.Nathan hadn’t given up yet, even though she had made it so clearly.He picked up a birdbath and jabbed it into her hand. “Pee.”Crystal held the basin. “Do you want to check, and then you give up and let me go?”“Now!”He tugged at her trousers.Crystal went out today wearing suspenders, and Nathan took off her coat and stripp
Crystal pulled away from his hand hard and turned to leave.He instantly retrieved her body, and she hit him hard on the chest.Nathan held her tightly, his last icy line collapsed.“Don’t go. Don’t leave me.” He said.This man, who had just been proud and arrogant, was momentarily weak again.Crystal was not feeling any better, and her heart was trembling.“I miss you so much. I’ve been thinking about you, Crystal, every minute of the day. My life was dull and sad. I function every day, but I’m dying inside,” His voice, with the hot air, blew in her ear.Crystal felt as
A man was sitting with his legs crossing on the dark blue leather sofa, silent and noble in the living room.Crystal stood at the door, only by seeing him at a glance did she want to run away. However, her feet were like a tree with deep roots, so steady and heavy that she could not move it a little.Every night, the man she saw in her dream was now sitting in front of her. The man put out the cigarette and said casually, “Miss Smith, here you are.”The voice was like thunder, which immediately woke Crystal up.She jerked around to leave…“Miss Smith, don’t you want your watch back?” Nathan’s cold voice sounded again.It’s him!
“More than 20 years?” Nancy didn’t understand. “That is to say, I’ve been waiting to meet you since I was born,” he gave Nancy a charming smile, “You’re in a cold sweat, am I so horrible?” Nancy shook her head, “No...” “I don’t want to be someone you’re afraid of,” he kissed on the back of Nancy’s hand, “I just want to be a big tree, to provide shade and shelter for you.” Nancy lowered her head in a panic, dared not look at him. That’s so unreal, and such dreamlike happiness would catch everyone unprepared, especially someone a boy crazy like Nancy. Marcos was like a noble prince; no woman could resist his charm and tenderness.
