Crystal's One Night of Love

Late at night in Coldbridge, Alfred had just returned from a social party. He was feeling tipsy, so he leaned back on the couch to rest.

The housekeeper wanted to serve him tea, but he raised his hand, indicating he did not need.

The housekeeper caught on and left.

“What’s up? Did that *sshole pick on you again?” Alfred asked in a tender voice.

Crystal shook her head. “No, not that. I need a favor from you. It’s about Melora. Henry told. me that she ran away from home two years ago and hasn’t returned since. I wonder if could help to look for her.”

As she talked, Alfred straightened his body slightly and unbuttoned two buttons.

In a low voice, he asked, “She hasn’t been home for two years?”

“Yeah.”

Alfred fell into silence, leaving only the sound of his heavy breathing coming from his end of the phone. It took some time before he spoke again. “I happen to be in Barnwood for a business trip tomorrow. I’ll come over to visit Skyler.”

Crystal was surprised by the coincidence.

Before Crystal could say something, Alfred hung up the phone. Otherwise, he would lose control!

The night was getting darker, but a memory he had tried hard to forget only grew more vivid. Closing his eyes, he swore he could still hear that delicate voice.

“Mr. Alfred, I beg you. Please don’t be mad at my brother…”

“Mr. Alfred, is Skyler going to be okay?”

“Mr. Alfred, you’re drunk! Stop drinking… No, don’t-

Alfred’s face was flushed from the alcohol he had drunk at the dinner earlier, much like that night when he lost control.

That night, he forced himself on a woman sixteen years younger than him, aggressively taking from her what he wanted.

Under him, the woman never stopped crying, but she could not snap him out of his frenzied

state.

He hurt her that night.

Back in the present, Alfred silently lit a cigarette.

With his unique identity, he knew it was best not to get involved with her again because he could not give her a bright future. Furthermore, he was sixteen years older than her!

Nevertheless, there was no denying the truth that he had slept with her, and with how sad. she had been when they separated back then, he had to know she was safe and sound.

Alfred saw himself as a tough man. However, within that half year of being together, the sweet way she had called him “Mr. Alfred” had softened him.

He had known he would miss her a lot when she left, but what else could he do?

The next day, since Alfred was coming to visit, Crystal did not go to Henry’s office. Instead, she brought Skyler to the hospital in the morning and back to the mansion in the afternoon.

Alfred arrived at the mansion at two o’clock in the afternoon.

He did not bring Melora up, but Crystal updated him with what she knew.

On the surface, he appeared to be playing with Skyler and not paying much attention to her words. Around five o’clock in the evening, he bid farewell to Crystal. “I need to get back to Coldbridge, so I won’t be staying for dinner.”
