Chapter 15 Pitying Crystal for the First Time

The restaurant closed at 10.00PM.

When Crystal left the restaurant, it was raining outside.

The drizzle had coated the gray road with a shimmering sheen.

Crystal didn’t bring an umbrella, so she held her purse over her head as she ran 200 yards to a nearby bus stop.

Her clothes were soaked through, and her hands trembled as she took out her phone to hail a ride. It was quite difficult to find a cab in the rain, and Crystal didn’t manage to book any rides in the end.

Opposite the bus stop, a golden Bentley Continental was parked by the road. Henry sat in the car as he watched Crystal in silence.

He watched as she ran in the rain, got her clothes completely wet, and shivered from the cold.

Meanwhile, Melora was sitting in the passenger seat.

She had been fiddling with her phone for an hour. Feeling bored, she yawned and said, “Henry, aren’t you going to treat me to supper? You’ve been choosing the destination for an hour now… Hey, isn’t that Seth’s girlfriend?”

Henry lightly brushed against the steering wheel as he asked lazily, “Seth’s girlfriend?”

Melora put her hand on the car window. “Yes, the one who looks pretty and is at least a C! Henry, let’s give her a ride.”

Henry looked reluctant. “She’s Seth’s girlfriend, so wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”
