Chapter 103 Think Of Her As A Daughter
Crystal felt that the arrangement was not quite appropriate, yet she could not decline right in front of Jake.
Seth cast a look at Sophia.
Immediately, Sophia took Crystal’s hand and exclaimed, “Seth’s new car is incredible!”
Crystal could not bring herself to turn the bubbly girl down.
When she got into the car, she said to Seth, “I’m sorry to trouble you tonight.”
Seth was fixing his hair while looking at the rearview mirror. He glanced at her and chuckled. “It’s only been a few days since I’ve last seen you, but you’re already treating me like a stranger, Crystal?”
Crystal merely smiled without saying anything further.
Seth’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Exhaling lightly, he started the car.
He did not talk much during the drive, unlike before.
Thinking that it was because of her relationship with Henry, Crystal did not comment on it.
Unbeknownst to her, it was thanks to his encouragement that Melora had phoned Henry back when Robert backed her into a corner. He had described the Winters family to be as pitiful as possible. Melora was a naïve girl, so she had gossiped to Henry about it.
The current situation
result ola
all.
The Winters family was safe, and Crystal got together with Henry.
Seth was uncertain whether he regretted his actions, but he still harbored feelings toward Crystal. She was a girl he had liked for a long time, so he could not bear to see her uneasy and in a difficult position.
When they alighted from the car, Seth patted his sister on the head and turned to Crystal. “I have a date. Please bring Sophia somewhere for dinner later. I’ll come and pick her up when I’m done.”
At that, relief suffused Crystal.”
Verily, she did not want their relationship to be tense since she still owed him a favor.
She took Sophia’s hand. “Sure. I’ll bring her for some delicious food.”
Seth blew them a kiss and winked at them. “You’re absolutely gorgeous tonight, Miss Winters!”
Crystal flushed bright red..
Gosh! What a flirt!
As they headed into the concert hall, Sophia whispered, “Seth recently got himself a girlfriend.” Then, she gestured with her hands to indicate that the girl had an incredibly shapely figure.
Crystal ruffled her hair, finding her all too adorable.
Joshua was only having two concerts in Barnwood.
The concert hall was packed to the brim. It was rumored that the VIP tickets for the best seats were jacked up to as much as a hundred and fifty thousand each. After listening to Joshua’s live performance, Crystal felt he was worth that price.
Indeed, she idolized him.
She had no chance to talk to him during the banquet previously, and the same was true this time. Once the concert ended, Joshua was surrounded by reporters, who bombarded him with questions about his upcoming itinerary and private life.
Just when he was asked about his relationship status, he inadvertently spotted Crystal below the
stage.
She was gazing at him with admiration in her eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, for she looked very much like Krystal back then.
In the past, Krystal had once looked at him with admiration in her eyes in his shabby rented house.
He had likely spaced out for too long, for a sharp–eyed reported caught the direction of his gaze and turned his camera right at Crystal. “Did your daughter return from abroad specifically to attend your concert, Mr. Quinn?”
Huh? Joshua’s daughter?
Right then, Crystal’s face was magnified on the LCD screen. The crowd grew rather excited since her countenance bore some resemblance to Joshua’s, especially her eyes. On top of that, she was sitting in the best VIP seat in the entire concert hall.
Such a misunderstanding caught Joshua off guard.
He had been through various trials and tribulations in the entertainment industry. For that reason, he knew the matter would bring Crystal trouble if he did not clarify things.
He personally invited her on stage.
With the microphone in his hand, he looked at her tenderly and lovingly as he explained, “True enough, this young lady is a close acquaintance of mine. I’d like to think of her as a daughter if I
could.”
He was gentle, elegant, and charming.
Crystal could not help feeling a sense of affinity toward him. Regret swamped her that she might not know the identity of her biological father for the rest of her life.
Belonging naturally to the metropolitan elite with a plethora of properties registered to his name, Henry Miller was the preeminent attorney in the country. Nevertheless, he also assumed an additional role—Robert's forthcoming brother-in-law. Crystal hesitated momentarily, but then she mused, If Robert can cheat on me, why can't I indulge and enjoy myself too?Instead of pushing Henry away, she held onto him even tighter as she was beautiful and had an attractive figure.
