Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 245 I Want To Know Your Stance

Early in the morning, a shiny black sedan pulled up at the gate of the Lodge residence in Coldbridge.

The car rolled to a stop and a slender figure got out of the vehicle.

Upon seeing him, the housekeeper respectfully greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Miller.”

Henry frowned. “Where’s Mr. Lodge?”

The housekeeper didn’t know how to respond after sensing something was off.

Just then, Alfred exited the house. When he saw Henry, he asked nonchalantly, “What brings you here so carly?”

Henry gritted his pearly white teeth and sneered. “I’m here to see you, of course, Uncle Alfred!”

Alfred glanced at his watch. “What a shame. I have a meeting to attend soon. The driver is already waiting.”

Henry blocked Alfred’s way and uttered with a mirthless smile, “This won’t take much of your time, Uncle Alfred. You won’t be late even if you depart after we’re done talking.”

Alfred furrowed his brows.

Henry lowered his head and lit a cigarette. Then, he took a few drags before stubbing it out and said, “I’d like to talk to you about Melora, Mr. Lodge!”

Mr. Lodge?

Alfred shot a look at his secretary, and the latter immediately retreated and even sent away all the housekeepers.

After everyone left, Alfred also lit a cigarette.

As he was standing in the wind, the smoke he puffed out momentarily obscured his handsome facial features before swiftly dispersing with the wind.

After a long while, he asked hoarsely. “How is she?”

Henry sneered. “How is she? A girl who’s already thirty-one years old, yet refuses to return home or get married, insisting on staying outside in a run-down-forty-square-meter rented flat. How do you think she’s doing, Mr. Lodge?”

Alfred’s slender fingers that were clutching the cigarette trembled subtly.

As a prominent figure, he was not one to wear his heart on his sleeve.

However, hearing about Melora’s news after over two years caused a stir in his heart, leaving him unable to maintain his indifference.

He guessed that Henry must’ve figured something out.

Alfred’s voice turned huskier as he spoke. “W-Why won’t she return home?”
