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.

She looked out the window and at the night sky. “I don’t know if I made the right choice to come back this time, Uncle Alfred It’s been three years. I should have forgotten about him no matter how deep our relationship was.”

Crystal had the feeling that he would do something unpleasant if she ever had the audacity to marry another man.

Alfred could guess her thoughts. He was exasperated and amused at the same time.

Crystal froze.

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