Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 33 Beg Me, Crystal!

Crystal lowered her eyes and she was more clear–headed than she had ever been as she replied, “It’s just his pride at work.”

Robert didn’t love her.

He was only trying to regain his dignity in other ways because he couldn’t handle the shame of having to depend on the Millers. And that was how Crystal, a woman who used to love him deeply, became his target.

Madison was even more upset after hearing that. She hugged Crystal and spat, “Just ignore him. He probably has a split personality or something!”

Crystal only hummed softly in response.

She already had a plan in mind. After her father’s affairs were settled, she would leave Barnwood with Anna and live somewhere else. Still, she couldn’t help feeling guilty and sad. After all, it was because of her relationship that her father went to prison and Anna had to live a life wandering from place to place even in her old age.

Madison kept comforting Crystal until she had to leave to attend to something else.
