Harold laughed. “Okay.”
Crystal was relieved to take a shower after he closed the door. But after a while, someone knocked on the door again. Crystal frowned and asked, “What do you want?”
Harold said with a smile, “You didn’t bring any clothes.”
Crystal replied with an “oh” and Harold added, “This time, I brought you the little shark costume you liked.”
Crystal was speechless.
Harold knocked on the door. “Do you want it?”
Crystal slowly opened the door and stretched out an arm. “Give it to me.”
Harold put her clothes on her hand. Then, she quickly retracted her hand, and slammed the door shut.
Marcus leaned against the car and lit a cigarette.
Kalen said fearfully, “Marcus, you…” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Marcus suddenly asked Kalen to turn back. Kalen did not dare to have any doubts and quickly drove back, but Crystal was no longer there.
He broke out in a cold sweat and said, “Didn’t we see a car coming down from the mountain when we came? It must be the car that took Miss Evans away…”
Marcus smiled, blew out a smoke ring, and said, “What does it have to do with me?”
Kalen was speechless.
Then why did he come back? Why was he smoking here?
Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart.
Marcus had no expression on his face, which most people had never seen before. After all, he was generally known in the entertainment circle to have a good temper, being gentle and considerate. He always had a smile on his face. Not to mention losing his temper, even his cold facial expression was rarely seen.
“Do
you think I’ve gone too far by doing this to her?” Marcus suddenly asked.
Kalen was shocked and said, “You are my boss. How can I have any opinions about you…”
Marcus snorted. “Twenty years ago, my mother was pregnant with Crystal.”
“In fact, she was in good health at that time. There was nothing wrong with her during the pregnancy check-up. We knew that the baby was a girl. We were very happy.” Marcus lowered his eyelashes. “Whether it was me, Danny, or my father, we were all very happy.”
They were really happy. They were all looking forward to the birth of a sister who looked like their mother.
“As the months went by, Crystal kept absorbing nutrients from my mother’s body. It was normal for my mother’s body to be deprived of nutrients due to the growth of the fetus, but she was too abnormal. The doctor suggested that we abort this child.”
A cold smile tugged at the corners of Marcus’s lips. “But my mother couldn’t bear it.”
“In the end, my father requested the doctor to save my mother, but she still insisted on giving birth to the baby. She didn’t even have the chance to look at the daughter she desperately gave birth to, and she was already out of breath.”
Kalen’s throat was dry, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.
From the perspective of an outsider, Crystal was not wrong, but her birth did indeed take away their mother, and her father’s beloved wife.
Kalen asked himself. If he were Marcus, would he be able to accept Crystal without any grudge? No, he couldn’t.
Not to mention, the relationship of the Evans family relied on Madam Evans. As soon as Madam Evans left, their house could no longer be called a home.
“Why should I tell you this?” After he finished smoking, Marcus narrowed his eyes. His face was as gentle as usual, and his voice was very soft. “Let’s go back.”
He was crazy enough to have gone back to find no one there.
Even if Crystal was dead or alive, or even scared to tears, what did it have to do with him?
