Female Novel
Chapter 497
On Friday afternoon, when school time was over, it was getting crowded outside the school gate.
Parents came early to pick up their children from school.
In Christina's words, all the parents immediately turned to look at the school gate in unison when the
bell rang. As soon as the big iron gate at the school gate opened, a group of little babies rushed over. It
was quite a spectacular scene.
"Crystal, don't go into the crowd as you're pregnant now." Christina was very dutiful, protecting Crystal
behind her so as not to be hit by some reckless child.
They still had to be very careful in the first three months of pregnancy.
Seeing that she was so nervous, Crystal was very moved. She smiled and said. "The doctor said we
don't have to be too nervous to make a fuss. Just calm down."
Christina had no sense of being a mother when she was pregnant then. Only when her grandfather
glared at her with a frown did she become vigilant herself.
Christina was completely unprepared to be pregnant and had a lot of problems during childbirth so that
when she saw the two little lives in front of her, she had a very magical feeling. "Oh, how did these two
cute little babies come out of my belly?"
She was now so relieved thinking that the twins in her family were now safe and sound. "God bless
them."
Last night at dinner, Geoffrey was very excited to say that he wanted to buy a rabbit and he would take
good care of it. Crystal was free today so she asked Christina out today to go to the pet store and pick
a little rabbit for him. She was going to surprise the little guy when she saw him later.
As usual, Geoffrey always liked to come out slowly from the school gate at the end. He was such a
clever boy and he said he didn't want to be sandwiched in the crowd. In fact, he was only in the second
year of primary school.
"Didn't I say that I don't need you to pick me up from school?" Geoffrey was very handsome in a light
blue school uniform.
"I've told you eight times."
Geoffrey looked at Crystal, who was waiting for him at the school gate and complained in his childish
voice.
Crystal ignored his words and deliberately reached out to ruffle his short hair. "You told me not to come
the first seven times. Oh, you think you've grown up and want to walk home on your own. Do you know
how far it is? If you're kidnapped by human traffickers halfway, it's no use crying then."
"I'm not that stupid!" Geoffrey's expression was a little awkward.
Christina watched from the side and felt that Crystal and Geoffrey were getting along quite well.
"Geoffrey!"
Across the road, Erica drove slowly past in a white BMW. She rolled down the window and shouted at
them, "Geoffrey, come here. I can't stop my car here. Hurry up!"
It seemed that in case they didn't hear her, Erica specially tapped the horn of the car twice to urge
them.
Christina frowned and looked at Erica. Crystal was about to say something when Geoffrey, who was
standing beside her, heard her mother's voice and ran over.
Crystal stood there and watched as Geoffrey ran happily towards his own mother. Geoffrey opened the
door and climbed into the car in a familiar manner. Erica seemed to have turned around and said
something to him. Then Geoffrey craned his neck and waved at them. The car drove away.
Biological mother was indeed different.
"Crystal." Christina felt that she was a little disappointed and called her.
Crystal forced a smile. "I forgot to tell him about the rabbit."
Yes, she didn't have a chance to say anything more. When he heard Erica's call, he turned around and
ran away without any hesitation.
A stepmother was indeed a stepmother. There was always a gap between them no matter how hard
she tried to get close to him.
The stepmother was really in a difficult position. Even in fairy tales, Snow White's stepmother was
vicious. There were many reorganized families in society. The stepmothers could not communicate with
their children and they even hated each other. Christina had no idea about this problem so she could
only pat Crystal on the shoulder to comfort her.
"By the way, does Erica still live in the Stephenson family?" Christina suddenly asked her in a serious
tone.
Crystal said in a low voice, "No."
The Stephenson family also knew that it was embarrassing to let an ex-wife sneak around all day long
as the new wife had already entered into the family.
Erica had been in the police station for a relationship dispute with her ex-boyfriend. The Stephenson
family was very nervous about her so they immediately asked Chandler to get her out and then let her
live in the Stephenson family for a while.
Crystal was not a stingy woman but there were some things she could only hide in her heart feeling
aggrieved. Later on, Erica took the initiative to move out of the Stephenson family while Crystal did not
say anything about this.
At first, Crystal was secretly a little happy. After all, two women in a family were really embarrassing.
However, it backfired.
"After Erica moved out, Geoffrey packed his luggage and said that he was going to live with his mother
and would come back to see his grandparents on the weekend. Of course, Mrs. Pei and the others
want to see their little grandson every day so now they live there most of the time and occasionally go
back to the Stephenson family on weekends."
Crystal told Christina what she had been thinking for a long time.
Christina looked surprised. Was that okay?
"You mean that Erica has taken all the Stephenson family people away?" Christina said quickly.
The old man and the children followed Erica. Then where was the home exactly was?
Crystal smiled bitterly. "Not exactly. They'll be back for a day this weekend so I bought a lot of
ingredients this morning."
Unexpectedly, Erica picked up Geoffrey on Friday afternoon and it was so obvious that they should not
go back to the Stephenson family tonight.
"How about Chandler?"
Christina had already shown an angry look. She held back her scolding and asked.
Crystal knew that she was angry for her seeing her expression. She softened her voice to comfort her,
"Chandler is busy with work. He often goes on business trips..."
Crystal tried to be relaxed and indifferent. A new text message came on her phone.
She carefully peeked at the screen of her phone.
"I'm going to Erica's place today. You don't have to wait for me for dinner." It was Chandler's message.novelbin
Crystal lowered her head and her eyes darkened.
Like countless times before, she quickly replied one word. "Okay."
Christina didn't notice Crystal's slight movements and muttered to herself, "At least Chandler didn't play
around with the old and the child. Otherwise, it would be a mess. The original home has become a
hotel and it can't be regarded as home anymore."
Crystal raised her head again and the forced smile on her face froze.
"Although I don't have much experience dealing with family matters, I think the most important one is
Geoffrey. The Stephenson family pay all their attention to Geoffrey."
Christina decided to accompany this brave but poor woman. They were going out to the restaurant for
a candlelight dinner and having a good talk about the trivial matters in life.
