Chapter 96 Look At Me
Crystal’s heart ached for Joshua, but she didn’t know how to comfort him.
Joshua looked at her eyes and eyebrows, which strangely resembled the person in his memory. He shook his head, thinking that he was hallucinating because he had been longing for Krystal too much.
He quickly adjusted himself. After all, he was a public figure.
He sighed, thinking that Henry had finally found a girlfriend who had a nice personality.
“You keep looking at Crystal, Mr. Quinn. You haven’t even looked at me,” Melora complained coquettishly.
Joshua laughed.
Putting an arm around Melora, he teased her affectionately, “You already have a boyfriend. Why are you still clinging to me like when you were a child?”
Melora grew up abroad.
Since Joshua used to carry her on his shoulders when she was a little girl, she was quite daring in front of Joshua. Hearing Joshua’s words, she pouted like a daughter would to her father. “Even if I get married, I won’t forget you.”
Joshua looked at her lovingly.
If he was lucky enough to find his own child, it would be so wonderful if the child was as lovely as Melora! He would give her everything and only the best…
Crystal quietly watched them.
She thought that Joshua must really love children because he was looking at Melora the way one would look at his own child…
In fact, Joshua came back this time to find his daughter. He had something to ask Henry, and with just a glance, Henry understood what he meant.
Henry instructed Crystal to eat something first while he and Joshua went to a small lounge.
Joshua couldn’t contain his eagerness. “Henry, is there any progress on the matter I entrusted to you?”
Pury had investigated carefully, but there was still no news. Unlock succeeded
He shook his head gently.
Joshua couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He carefully took out a delicate chain that was adorned with a pink diamond from his pocket.
Joshua murmured sadly, “This is something she wore back then. It has been so many years. never expected to see this again.”
I
Henry took the chain from him, frowning.
There was something familiar about it. He had a nagging sensation that he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember. Perhaps it belonged to one of my clients?
Henry looked at it for a while and then returned it to Joshua. “Rest assured, Mr. Quinn. I will continue to investigate.”
Joshua patted his shoulder. “I have to consider Audrey’s mother’s feelings, so I’ll have to trouble you, Henry.”
Henry’s eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing Audrey’s name.
Joshua saw the change in his expression, and he didn’t comment on it. Instead, they casually chatted for a moment….
Crystal waited for half an hour, but Henry hadn’t come out.
It was her first time attending such an occasion. Feeling bored, she decided to go out to the balcony for some fresh air. The banquet hall was located on the sixty-eighth floor, which provided a scenic night view.
Crystal leaned against the railing as she sipped some red wine. Her side profile exuded a captivating tenderness.
Robert stood at the entrance of the balcony.
He sneered, wondering if her expression was because she thought of Henry.
Perhaps it was due to his resentment that those hurtful words slipped out.
“Congratulations on becoming Mr. Miller’s official girlfriend! Are you happy now that you’re wearing expensive jewelry and high-end couture? Are you truly happy, Crystal?” he mocked.
What he really wanted to say was that he could provide her with all those things as well.
However, he couldn’t say it out loud.
The night breeze blew strongly.
As Crystal turned around slowly, Robert felt a sudden ache in his heart.
Crystal lowered her gaze and smiled faintly. “Robert, what can mocking me give you? The pleasure of revenge? If that’s the case, feel free to do so.”
Robert laughed.
With a menacing look on his face, he approached Crystal. When he was just a step away, sneered, “Have you forgotten so quickly? You are able to accept other men and sleep with someone else so soon, aren’t you?”
he
His words were so crude that Crystal was on the verge of tears.
He seemed to have forgotten who was actually hurt in their relationship.
What could a person like him know about love?
How would he understand how much Crystal had yearned for a lifetime partner?
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.
