Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 248 She Sure Has Changed A Lot 

Alfred stared at Melora in silence.

She sure has changed a lot… Not only has she gotten a lot thinner, but she has also ditched her bright-colored dresses for more mature-looking ones. She has gone from a girl to a woman.

It was at that moment that Alfred knew he still desired her.

He kept his gaze fixated on her face as he said softly, “Long time no see, Melora.”

Melora seemed to be a lot more emotional than he was.

She was choking back her tears as she said with all her strength. “Yes, it has been a long time, Mr. Lodge…”

As the two continued on, Crystal found herself feeling a little awkward standing in between them.

She then picked up Skyler and had the driver and a reliable housekeeper send the girl to kindergarten. Being an obedient little girl, Skyler gave her a kiss and said, “Bye, Mommy!”

Crystal kissed her in return as well. “I’ll pick you up later tonight!”

Skyler then got off Crystal and went to school holding the housekeeper’s hand.

Crystal turned around and cleared her throat softly. “Ill go make some coffee!”

Feeling a little vulnerable, Melora tugged at her arm. “Crystal!”

“You two continue with your conversation,” Crystal replied with a smile.

“Come on; let’s go inside,” Alfred said.

Melora kept her head low and entered the house, only to have him grab her wrist and drag her into the bathroom.

Alfred closed the bathroom door behind him, forming a tight space around them.

Her back was pressed firmly against the bathroom wall.

Alfred kept one hand on top of her head while pinning the rest of her body with his own. She found herself feeling a little dazed when she caught a whiff of the faint smell of tobacco on his body.

Neither of them said a word for what seemed like forever.

After a prolonged moment of silence, Melora said in a trembling voice, “Let go of me!”

Alfred stared at her as he whispered, “I waited one whole night for you last night!”

She looked up at him in shock when she heard that. Not wanting the tears in her eyes to fall, she tried her best not to blink..

She was not willing to cry in front of him anymore. After all the suffering she had been through after going their separate ways, she didn’t think it would be right to cry right now.

Things hadn’t been any easier on Alfred either.

Alfred stared at the door before shifting his gaze back toward her face. “Why didn’t you go home for two years?”

“What does that have to do with you, Mr. Lodge? It should be obvious that I was having fun out there. Who are you to question me about it?” Melora retorted with a faint smile.
