Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 229 She Is Still Alive

Crystal did not consider it.

“I have no plans for the time being, Uncle Alfred,” she said softly.

Alfred sighed. “Still can’t get over Henry?”

Crystal shook her head.

Based on that alone, Alfred thought Henry still stood a chance.

Crystal froze.

Over the years, she had never dared imagine what could have been.
