Female Novel
Chapter 298
In the end, she got into his car and followed him back to the Stephenson family.
The car drove smoothly.Crystal and Erica were in the back seat.
Chandler was driving, while Erica was glaring at Crystal fiercely, Silence reigned.
Crystal sat close to the window and looked at the scenery outside expressionlessly, but her hands were
tightly clasped together, revealing her nervousness, With her hair scattered and clothes messy, Erica
looked very disheveled after being slapped by Christina.
And her heavy makeup had faded, making her look like a shrew.
She must have been treated so badly for the first time.
Crystal tensed up stiffly and looked at the Stephenson family gate in front.
So Chandler took her back to the Stephenson family to ask her to apologize to Erica or serve as a vent
to Erica’s anger? “Wha, what’s wrong?”
As soon as they got out of the car, the parents of Chandler came over.
They were surprised to see Erica’s disheveled appearance.
They were both from traditional scholarly families.
They were invited abroad to be visiting professors before, and they just came back last week.
Crystal, after being in contact with them for a few days, was filled with admiration for their knowledge
and gentleness.
“Did you fall?”
Senior Mrs.Stephenson looked worried.
Then she turned to Crystal and said, “There’s a medicine box at home.Crystal, help get it for me.”
But Senior Mr.Stephenson looked grave, for he could see the palm print on Erica’s face.
People in the Stephenson family lived a life indifferent to fame and wealth, and they had educated their
offspring not to get into a fight, especially a girl.
Although Erica was used to being arrogant, she felt shameful being bullied by Christina today.
She looked gloomy but kept her mouth shut.
Then she cursed, “There is an ingrate at home.You must be careful!”
“What’s going on?”
Senior Mrs.Stephenson could sense the implication.
Although Erica had a bad temper and divorced her son, she was at least the biological mother of her
grandson.
“Mom, check the trauma for Erica”
Chandler suddenly spoke in a mixed expression.
Erica was very dissatisfied with his attitude and warned, “No need to.But about today, Chandler, you
have to deal with it!”
Then Erica turned around and left as arrogant as usual.
“Erica, stop!”
It was rare to hear Chandler speak so angrily.
Crystal looked at the former couple in astonishment, thinking that Erica would run away according to
her personality, but she stopped.
It turned out that Chandler could handle his arrogant ex-wife.
Or rather, it turned out that Erica would listen to him.
This feeling was very strange.
Crystal lowered her head and felt stuffy.
Senior Mrs.Stephenson seemed to have gotten used to the way Chandler and Erica got along.She
walked over and held Erica’s hand into the house to check her injuries.
“Come with me into the study:’ Chandler looked at her with mixed feelings for a while, until Crystal
lowered her head like an innocent child.
Then she followed him step by step.
“Calm down and then have a conversation.”
Senior Mr.Stephenson suddenly called out to the back of the two of them in a low voice.
“Dad, I’ll take care of these things” Chandler didn’t look back and replied irritably.
Crystal did not dare to say anything.She liked the two elders very much.
Perhaps since their family did not have a daughter, the seemingly stern Senior Mr.Stephenson was
actually very tender to her.
As they went to the study together, Crystal stood in front of the desk, pursed her lips, and said
hesitantly, “I…I’m sorry about what happened today…”novelbin
In the end, she apologized.
She felt that she was right, but in her life, as long as something happened, she would be the one that
compromised.
Christina fought with Erica because of her…
“You don’t need to apologize.I saw it all”
Chandler took a pen and wrote something.
Then he raised his head and stared at her timid face with a sharp and complicated gaze.He didn’t say
much to blame her, but he looked cold.
Then he handed her a piece of paper.
“This is for you.You won’t be coming tomorrow” Crystal looked at the 100-grand cheque and listened to
him dismiss her ina calm tone.
She stood up stiffly in a daze.
“You mean I’m making trouble for you, so you think…”
Crystal tried her best to calm herself down and talk to him.A sour feeling welled up in her heart.
“I know I am responsible for what happened today.And I shouldn’t have quarreled with Erica but run
away the moment I saw her.I didn’t want to make trouble for you.I went there just to buy Geoffrey a
Christmas present.”
Her voice was choked with sobs.It would be Christmas in a few days.
Geoffrey was very excited and kept pestering her about having a Christmas feast.
And he was going to cut down a Christmas tree and decorate the house with her.
She had offered to leave once before, but now…
Suddenly, she felt reluctant to leave.
Crystal didn’t know what her existence in the Stephenson family meant, maybe just a nanny.
At first, she felt unwilling, then secretly had a crush on him, wanted to escape, and finally, she really
didn’t want to leave.
Even if she didn’t have any title here, she was happy to take care of them like this.
Sometimes she felt herself stupid and despicable.She felt too humble to tell Christina about all these.
Because she liked them.She never thought of doing anything bad.
Really, she really didn’t want to destroy the harmony of this family, let alone being a mistress.
Crystal lowered her head and tears welled up in the corner of her eyes.
She held back her tears.
Chandler didn’t seem to look at her.
He walked out quickly and came in with a large box of dominoes.
Crystal sniffled and pretended to be fine.
Seeing him holding the huge dominoes in both hands, she did not know what he was going to do, but
the next second, she understood.
“Crystal, I know your initial intention here is to be an informant of Christina”
His eyes were very clear, under the silver-rimmed glasses and reflected light, looking very cold.
“No matter what your purpose is, thank you for staying and taking care of us.But I hope you understand
that there is just an employment relationship between us, nothing more.” He had already seen through
her feelings for him.
“Between you and Erica, we will only choose Erica.No matter how incompetent Erica is, we will forgive
her.And Geoffrey only likes the gift from his mother.Take this yourself”
Crystal was stunned and humiliated as if she had been taken as a fool.
He was mocking her sincerity.
All her concern was so worthless that it even made them feel troublesome.
She felt ashamed to stay here.
Crystal wanted to walk away with disdain and dignity, but she found that she couldn’t do it now.
She choked and didn’t say a word.She reached out to get the Christmas present and just wanted to
leave quickly.But her hand trembled and she couldn’t hold it steadily.
The heavy dominoes fell between them with a bang.She guessed that the 10,000 wooden small
dominoes inside must be messy.
It was a gift she had considered for a long time.
Not expensive though it was, it really took her a lot of energy.
“Dad”
“Dad, why is my mom injured?”
Suddenly, a small figure ran in from the door.
This innocent voice frightened her.
Crystal couldn’t help but cry out.
She didn’t take the cheque, nor did she pick up the gift on the floor.She ran out in bitterness.
