Chapter 244
For as long as Harold could remember, it seemed that the White family’s old house was always this quiet.
It didn’t matter whether it was day or night.
It seemed that only this kind of solemnity could maintain the glory that had been accumulated for hundreds of years.
Harold leaned against the side of the car and lit a cigarette with his eyes lowered. The azure flame burned in the night, lit up the chopped cigarette, and emitted a faint fragrance.
His long, slender joints were flushed by the cold wind. When the lighter was burning hot, he released his hand. The fire went out, and only the palace lamp hanging at the gate of the White family’s house was still flashing in the night.
“Have you ever heard about my mother?” Harold suddenly asked.
Luke was stunned and then said, “I’ve heard a little about her.”
Back then, the incident that had happened in the White family had gone too far. A lot of people were aware of it.
However, rumors could not be trusted. No one knew whether the rumors now were different from the truth of that year.
“I don’t remember her very well.” Harold spat out a mouthful of smoke. The tar and nicotine failed to soothe his lungs and emotions, so he frowned and put out the cigarette. He smiled and said, “There are
always countless people who try their best to get into this profitable place. The White family is rich and powerful, standing in the highest place, but no one can see the dirt under the prosperous appearance.”
Luke paused and said, “That’s why you like Young Madam.”
At the mention of Crystal, Harold raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s a good thing that she didn’t grow up in the Evans family.”
He opened the car door and said, “Daxton is full of bad intentions. The child he raises won’t be so innocent.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Luke also got in the car and said, “I heard about the Evan family’s master’s deeds when he was young. He was more brilliant than Danny, the eldest young master of the Evans family back then.” Harold said, “People say that it’s a blessing for Chloe to marry Daxton.” He smiled coldly. “Who would have thought that it’s actually Chloe’s bad luck?”
Luke frowned and said, “Master, do you mean…”
“Speaking of old friends, I suddenly felt something,” Harold said, “Let’s leave.”
The White family’s old house was far away from Flower Land. When Harold returned, it was already midnight. When he entered the bedroom, it was completely dark. Crystal should have already fallen asleep.
Just as he was about to take his clothes to the guest room to take a shower, suddenly a gust of wind came from behind him. Harold’s fighting skills made him want to dodge and catch her, but considering that Crystal was the only one in the room other than him, that little idiot…
Forget it. If it hurt her, she would probably cry.
Harold stood where he was and let Crystal pounce on him.
Crystal hugged Harold’s neck and leaned against his back. She moved closer to Harold’s ear and said with a smile, “I didn’t go back on my word. I waited for you to come back.”
Harold’s heart suddenly softened. He hugged Crystal, pulled her into his embrace, and said, “You said that if I come back early, you would wait for me. It’s already half past twelve.”
Crystal said, “Recently, I’ve been learning from my peers to stay up late. I won’t sleep until the moon sleeps. I’m a little bald baby.”
“…” Harold said, “If you become bald, I won’t want you anymore. Do you think I can bring such an ugly fiancee out without taking care of my pride?”
Crystal’s eyes widened. “So you only care about the looks! When we first met, did you give me an apple because you thought I was good-looking?”
Harold thought about it and was sure that he didn’t even see Crystal’s face clearly at that time.
