Crystal's One Night of Love

Never in Melora’s wildest dreams did she know she’d run into Alfred again soon, and in such an awkward situation too.

The next day, Melora enjoyed coffee with a companion in a cafe located on the first floor of a luxurious five-star hotel.

Her closest friend, Lynette Leitz, sat across from her. “Are you okay now? Why would you take three sleeping pills for a b*stard like him?” she asked worriedly.

Melora responded quietly, “I had no clue he used to date Crystal. He’s truly a deceitful man. Whenever I think about how he lied to her for years, I get the urge to stab him to death.”

She sniffled and added, “Fortunately, Crystal didn’t lose her virginity to him!”

Lynette burst out laughing in anger.

Is she a fool?

They were engrossed in their conversation, completely unaware that a few well-dressed individuals were seated at a table just two away from them. Among them were Alfred, Leslie, and several of their associates.

Leslie was the first to discover them.

He lowered his voice and reported, “Mr. Lodge, that’s the daughter of the Miller family.”

Alfred sipped on his coffee nonchalantly.

He had spotted her earlier and had overheard the conversation between the young women, which made him realize Melora was quite naive.

Alfred was a busy man, and women would often flock to him.

He hadn’t planned on talking to her and made to stand up. At once, his subordinates rose to their feet hastily.

“Melora!”

Without warning, a handsome man appeared out of nowhere and gripped Melora’s wrist.

It was none other than Robert.

When his affair became public knowledge, Melora steadfastly ignored his calls and chose not to entertain his explanations.

She even took pills, and he only got to meet her today.

Melora flung his hand away and frowned. “That hurts!”

Robert wanted to win her back.

His mistress might be compliant, but he was merely using her to have fun. Melora, with her influential background and innocence, remained his ideal wife.
