Crystal's One Night of Love

Melora returned to Barnwood.

She thought she wouldn’t be able to meet Alfred for a long time, but he showed up within a week of her return.

He had called her that night, and when she picked up, he had told her, “Come outside.”

Huh? Is he in Barnwood? she wondered as her heart began to beat quickly.

She held on to her handphone, unwilling to hang up just yet. Hurriedly, she changed into a dress and ran downstairs. David was still awake, and upon seeing his youngest daughter all dressed up, he said. offhandedly, “You’re going out? But it’s so late.”

“Lynette wants to get supper together,” she lied before running out.

David just shook his head at his daughter’s antics.

A black Lotus was parked next to the Miller residence.

Alfred was dressed in an all-black outfit and blended in perfectly with the night sky as he smoked a cigarette against his car. At the sight of Melora running toward him, he opened his arms just in time for her to crash into his embrace. She buried her head into his shoulder and inhaled deeply, trying to capture the intoxicating scent radiating off him.”

A few seconds passed before she whined playfully, “You nearly burned me with your cigarette.”

He chuckled and put out the cigarette before leaning down to kiss her.

She was a little bit apprehensive since they were right outside her house.

Clearly, Alfred was cautious too, since they only shared a short kiss before he bundled her into the car.

Melora slowly put on her seatbelt. Her eyes glimmered as she asked him, “Where are we going?”

She wanted to ask if they would be going to a hotel, but she didn’t want to sound so eager. If she said that, she might sound like she was desperate to sleep with him.

Alfred turned to look at her.

After a whole week of not seeing her, his longing for her was stronger than he could bear. He barely managed to eke out a few hours that day just so he could see her.

He interlocked their hands and said in a slightly raspy voice, “You’ll know when we get there.”

Melora hummed in response obediently.

-The car sped onto the highway and arrived in front of a high-class condominium at Broadway Alley about.

an hour later.

The condominium was well-known for being expensive but also having good security and privacy.

Apparently, most of the people who bought units there were CEOs and celebrities.

Alfred brought her upstairs.

They arrived at a unit where Alfred opened the door to reveal a room that seemed to be around one hundred and twenty square meters. It was decorated rather luxuriously, and a jazz singer’s soft voice was crooning from the record player.

Melora took her jacket off and started looking around.

Alfred let her give herself a house tour while he went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of milk.
