Female Novel
Chapter 528
Crystal did not go back to the hospital, nor did she got back the five-thousand-dollar hospital deposit. It
seemed that she was no longer as meticulous and cared about the money as she used to be.
She changed into a casual dress and went straight to the agency. Just like a normal person who
wanted to sell a house, she asked about the process briefly.
Before she got married, she had a small apartment in the eastern suburbs of the city that was more
than 70 square meters. It was paid monthly, and she still had to pay it for five years.
"Though you haven't finished the monthly installment payment, we can find a way to sell it for you. But
the price..."
"As long as you can sell it in three days and give me the cash, I can accept it even if it's less than half
the normal price." Crystal didn't talk in detail. She left after saying a few words.
When the agent heard what she said, he quickly responded and went to sell the house. And he
promised to help her sell the house in the next few days.
During the past few days, Crystal had been very busy going to various departments to handle her
certificates.
She threw away her previous phone card and changed it into a new one.
Three days later, the real estate agent called her excitedly, saying that a buyer was willing to transfer
the money to her immediately, and if Crystal reduced the price by 100000 dollars again, the agency
would complete all the procedures for her.
Crystal agreed without thinking. "Okay."
The agent really didn't expect her to be so easy to negotiate. According to experience, someone who
was in such a hurry to sell the house for cash in a short time must have encountered an accident.
But Miss Zhu gave him the impression that she was not sad or anxious at all. She was especially calm
and silent.
Lucy was in low spirits these days. She felt that she could no longer work for Christina without paying,
but she thought that it was a little vulgar to ask Christina for money. She was mentally unbalanced and
deliberately disappeared for a few days.
Christina wanted to look for Crystal to help her. Without Lucy's help, Christina couldn't do anything.
But Christina couldn't find Crystal, and there was no news from Chandler.
[At the quadrangle courtyard of the Stephenson family]
"It's so late. Where are you going? We are waiting for you to have dinner."
Erica came out in an apron and thick gloves. She said with a bottle of ginseng soup in her hands,
"You've been very busy these days. Look, you've lost a lot of weight."
Without looking back, Chandler continued to walk towards the door. "You eat first. I have something to
do."
Erica put down the soup and ran over to pull him.
"Geoffrey just got out of the hospital today. Where are you going? You should stay with him."
Chandler said fretfully, "There are so many people at home with him. He doesn't need me."
"You are different from us in his eyes. He has liked to be with you since he was a child."
Senior Mrs. Stephenson also walked over and said, "Chandler, why are you going out in the evening?
No matter how busy you are, you have to spend time with your family."
As she spoke, she looked at her grandson, who was sitting at the dining table with a weak expression.
"Go to comfort him. Otherwise, he will have nightmares when he sleeps at night."
At this moment, the phone in Chandler's pocket rang. He took it out in alarm and saw a strange number
on the screen. He was about to answer it.
But Senior Mrs. Stephenson snatched the phone away and hanged it up. She said unhappily, "You care
about this strange call very much, but you are unwilling to spend more time with your family. Chandler,
do you still care about us?"
Chandler vented his great anger for the past few days to his mother, "You're talking about family, but
you've never found out that Crystal has left!"
He rarely glared at his mother.
Senior Mrs. Stephenson looked very hurt when she saw that Chandler was angry at her for a woman.
Senior Mr. Stephenson quickly strode over and scolded Chandler sternly, "Chandler, how could you talk
to your mother like that?"
Chandler also realized that his tone was inappropriate. He compressed his lips, turning his head away
and remaining silent.
Erica walked over and grabbed Chandler's hand naturally. Then she said gently, "We're are family. Let's
sit down to talk about it." She dragged Chandler to the dining table and said, "Go and get some soup
for mom and dad. You should be hungry too."
Erica handled it very well. She looked up and invited Senior Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson to have dinner,
"Dad, mom, let's have dinner together."
Although what Erica did before really annoyed them, Senior Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson were extremely
indulgent to her because she gave birth to Geoffrey. They always hoped that Erica could be together
with Chandler for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that Erica had changed so much in the past few months, Senior Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson were
especially gratified. After all, Erica was Geoffrey's biological mother. No matter how good other women
were, they could not replace Erica's place.
Chandler looked upset, but he let Erica drag him to the table. They all sat around the table to have
dinner.
"Erica's soup tastes well." Senior Mr. Stephenson took a sip of the soup and praised it.
Erica smiled brightly and picked up a few pieces of meat for Senior Mr. Stephenson. "I just learned how
to fry cuttlefish. Dad, mom, try and see if it suits your taste."
Recently, Erica has become more and more capable of being a virtuous wife. Senior Mrs. Stephenson
blew a small spoonful of porridge and carefully fed it to Geoffrey, who was sitting in a child's chair next
to her. Then she looked up and said, "This is an ordinary pleasure for us. We should be grateful that we
are all sitting together to have dinner."
As she spoke, she turned to remind Chandler, who was eating opposite her, "Chandler, when are you
going to the civil affairs bureau to remarry Erica?"
Chandler's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and he immediately looked up.
Erica took the initiative to say with embarrassment, "Mom, Chandler and I will deal with this matter
slowly in the future. It's not urgent."
"Everyone at Geoffrey's school is saying that he has two mothers. That's so strange. You adults should
deal with it quickly. Don't affect the child."
Senior Mrs. Stephenson was concerned about her grandson.
Chandler suddenly slammed his chopsticks down and announced in a serious tone, "Mom, I can't
remarry Erica!"
The harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken.
Everyone immediately turned to look at Chandler, and Erica's face turned pale.
Senior Mr. Stephenson seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chandler recently. He put down his
chopsticks angrily and said, "What are you talking about? What are you dissatisfied with Erica now?
She is so serious and hardworking in washing and cooking for us. Why are you still so picky?"
"You all ignore Crystal, do you?" Chandler roared.
"I thought Crystal had a good temper in the past, but she made trouble many times and even ran away.
Now we don't even know where she went. Do you still expect her to stay in our Stephenson family
obediently?"
Senior Mrs. Stephenson scolded Crystal's inappropriate behavior seriously, "If she imitates Christina,
we Stephenson family can't bear it!"
"Why did Crystal run away from home?"
Chandler suddenly stood up from the chair and asked his parents loudly.
He had suppressed his anger for many years. He screamed, "We forced her to do that. She couldn't go
back to her house. Did she ever complain it? I, as her husband, was so useless. She even aborted the
child now. Are you satisfied?"
Senior Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson were shocked and remained silent. Although Chandler was not docile,
he would never yell at them like this.
Moreover, he said that Crystal had aborted the child.
Erica heard the main point and asked in a low voice, "Did Crystal really abort the child?"
Chandler clenched his fists angrily.
"Aunt Zhu ran away because of me."
Geoffrey suddenly burst into tears. He had just finished the operation for appendicitis a few days ago,novelbin
and he recovered more slowly than adults. He cried bitterly with his small face sickly and pale. "I'm not
dad's biological child. I knew it long ago. I don't have a father."
