The phone came to the command of a servant.
Crystal knew that Eric was supervising the servants to decorate the villa for the celebration party tonight.
She hung up the phone.
Thinking that now that she had spent Eric’s money, Eric must be suspicious if she went back home empty-handed.
Thus, she returned to the counter and bought a pair of bracelets.
One was for herself, and one was for Nancy.
She even bought a pair of necklaces and hairpins with rubies.
Then she swiped the card again, without asking the price.
She turned around to leave, followed by three bodyguards.
The guests who attended were also requested to wear cartoon costumes to cater to the theme of the party, making everyone present feel like returning to childhood or being in the fairy-tale world.Nancy was particularly fond of SpongeBob, but its costume was not beautiful at all.So, she finally chose a blue top and a long white dress, and the crystal shoes Marcos had customized for her. Together with the silver crown on her wavy hair, it’s self-evident that she was playing Snow White.Her complexion was initially delicate and pink-and-fair; with the fairy-tale-like hairstyle and the costume, she looked as adorable as a cartoon character.To match Nancy’s look, Marcos specially wore a blue prince suit, decorated with a red badge and tassels on his shoulders, a
Crystal couldn’t stand the smell, either.“For the health of our baby, you have to drink at least three glasses a day. Just stick to it,” Eric instructed.Finding that the soup was also made from milk, Crystal lost her appetite instantly. Although the food was not satisfactory, the atmosphere of the whole dinner was warm and peaceful.The last time to have a lively and relaxed dinner like this seemed to be a century ago. Seeing Eric feed her food, Nancy being taken care of by Marcos, and Paul mocking Nancy from time to time, Crystal falls into a trance.What is Nathan eating? How does he spend his Valentine’s day? Is he alone?At this time, Nathan was like a walking dead. Without Crystal, any
However, Marcos remained cool and ignored him.On the contrary, Nancy failed to stay calm.“Paul Burnett, you’re going too far. Do you think everyone in the world is as despicable and dirty as you?”“Is sleeping with me equal to being despicable and dirty? That’s a part of human nature,” Paul stared at Nancy with erotic eyes, “if I’m not dirty, how could we have Clark?”His sight was as if a hand stripping Nancy naked and stroking her.Nancy blushed with shame at once.“Paul Burnett, you!...”“Nancy,” Marcos said without emotion, “it’s just a dog
Nancy’s eyes dimmed, she shook her head, “No, I can’t marry you.”Her words took a load off Paul’s mind.Right! You’re not qualified to marry anyone, Paul hummed.“I have been tarnished by Paul Burnett. I’m not a good match for Mr. Garcia.”What is this damn woman talking in her mind!?Paul was satisfied with her refusal but could not accept the reason.“And, Mr. Garcia, you know that I was divorced and even had a 4-year-old child….” Nancy smiled bitterly.Marcos gazed at her with affection, “What if I say I don’t mi
Marcos frowned slightly and had to loosen his hand. Nancy hung up the phone timely and finally let out a sigh of relief. Paul got rid of Marcos, flew at Nancy, and snatched the phone in her hand away. He had to teach the lad a lesson. “Paul Burnett, you know why... Why does Clark hate you? You... always frighten him, threaten him! You’re... not qualified... to be a father!” Nancy panted and said while jumping up to snatch the phone. Paul stopped suddenly. Nancy’s words stabbed into Paul’s heart like a knife. Nancy rebuked him, “Did you just hear your son’s mind? He wants anyone to be his father except for you.” “I heard it!” Paul yelled, “You don’t need to remind me again an
“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.
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!
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
