Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 212

Chapter 212 Pregnant

Alfred smiled faintly and asked, “Is it from the Millers?”

The butler smiled awkwardly, then glanced at Crystal. Everyone in the family knew about her relationship with Henry.

After pondering for a moment, Alfred instructed them to enter.

Eighteen black Mercedes-Benz cars and eighty-eight exquisite gifts, carefully arranged in pairs, were brought in.

Alfred pointed at the items and inquired, “Are these mere gifts or a marriage proposal?”

The representative from the Miller family simply smiled.

Just as Lucia was about to speak, Alfred whispered softly in her ear, “I’ve met the guy; he is talented and looks decent!”

Lucia nodded in acceptance as she trusted her son’s judgment.

Although Alfred accepted half of the gifts, he didn’t voice his approval of the relationship.

It was also his way of establishing Crystal’s status in the Lodge family.

After all, Crystal was a highly sought-after woman; even the wealthiest family in the northern region came to propose marriage. He wanted there to be no doubt about Crystal’s position as the esteemed heiress of the Lodge family.

On the other hand, Crystal felt a whirlwind of emotions.

What is Henry up to?

Later that evening, Crystal finally had a moment to herself. Just as she was about to call Henry, he surprised her by calling first.

She answered the call and heard the man’s uncharacteristically gentle voice. “Are you having a good time at Coldbridge?”

“It’s all right.” Crystal nodded.

After a brief contemplation, she decided to be straightforward with him. “From now on, please refrain from sending more gifts to the Lodge family. I’m afraid-”

“That others will misunderstand?” he interrupted.

“Crystal, I wanted to propose to you, but your uncle objected to it.”

Henry’s voice seemed particularly alluring in the dark silent night. “What should I do? It seems like pursuing you has become more challenging! Crystal, do you want me to come over?”

Crystal shook her head.

My reunion with the Lodges has nothing to do with my relationship with Henry. He’s trying to create a diversion.

She remained composed and replied softly, “I have something to do. Let’s talk about it when I return to Barnwood.”

There was a long silence on the other end before Henry whispered, “Crystal, are you pushing me out of your life?”

In the Lodge family, she was the sole female of her generation.

It was evident that Alfred wanted her to return to Coldbridge. If Crystal agreed to the arrangement, was there still any hope for them?

After his question, they both fell silent.

Crystal understood that he was looking for a commitment, but at the moment, she couldn’t promise him anything.

She didn’t want to impulsively give her heart away and surrender herself entirely once again.

Finally, Henry hung up the phone.
