Crystal's One Night of Love

In the living room on the first floor, the housekeepers were tidying up the place.

Julia, Melora, and Berthold were gone. Alfred could not help but feel disappointed. When he hurried outside, he spotted them and called out, “Melora.”

It was dark outside, and Julia had already gotten into the car.

Berthold was sitting on Julia’s lap, and Melora was about to get into the car.

Alfred came over to hold the door. He patted Berthold’s head and said gently, “You must listen to your mommy, okay?”

Berthold nodded.

Although he looked much like the Lodges, he was a soft individual, a trait he inherited from Melora.

Alfred talked to Julia for a while before Julia said to her daughter, “Talk to him.”

She seemed open-minded about the matter, but that was because David had persuaded her many times. And perhaps she could finally understand her daughter, so she decided to leave this matter to them instead.

Melora was dragged to the car by Alfred.

Alfred personally drove. After a while, Melora could not help but mock, “Mr. Lodge, why are you still looking for me? I thought you wanted to prioritize your career. Aren’t you even willing to give up your body for your career?”

Although she knew that he did not genuinely love Caylie, she still felt jealous.

He had said that he admired Caylie as she was independent.

When Alfred heard her words that were laced with jealousy, he chuckled and asked, “Are you jealous?”

Melora fell silent. She leaned against the seat and stared out the window.

She wanted to sever ties with him, but they had a child.

When the car stopped, her eyes were misty. She noticed he had brought her to the river. “Alfred, what are you trying to do?”
