Chapter 504


    They didn''t sleep in the middle of the night and went out to look for people.


    After Christina found out about Crystal''s whereabouts from Lucy, she couldn''t fall asleep and decided


    to go out to find her immediately. "Crystal is at the fountain in the center of Crescent Garden square.


    I''m going to find her now."


    Patrick didn''t know who disturbed his rest n at night. However, he gave in and apanied his wife


    to go out with his wife reluctantly.


    "You don''t have to get me involved."


    Charles, who was driving, was innocent and helpless. He looked at the road ahead upset. When he


    received a call from Patrick and heard his order which asked him toe over immediately, he knew


    that he had no choice at all.


    Christina, who was sitting in the back seat, held Patrick''s hand and said angrily, "Why did you call


    Chandler just now?"


    Now Christina felt very angry when she heard "Stephenson". Crystal ran away from home because of


    the unscrupulous oppression of the Stephenson family.


    "If Chandler was a real man, he should go to Crystal himself. I got the news, why do you use it to help


    that bastard?"


    Christina looked angry and showed a tough attitude. "Listen, if Chandler says anything unpleasant to


    Crystalter, I''ll hit him."


    Charles, who was holding the steering wheel in front, felt surprised and thought, "Why did she take it


    for granted even she wanna hit someone?"


    Patrick looked calm. He reached out and gently caressed her long hair, and said calmly, "Let them deal


    with their own business."


    Charles chose to remain silent and continue driving. There was no intention of stopping his wife.


    Chandler was also very nervous. After receiving Patrick''s call, he immediately drove over and ran a few


    red lights. From the other direction, he arrived almost at the same time as Christina''s car.


    "Chandler is worried too."


    Charles was a peacemaker. When husband and wife quarreled, it was better to help them bury the


    hatchet, cause they always went well soon.


    Christina red at Chandler, who was in the dark blue BMW car next to her. She still didn''t show any


    easy look.


    Late at night, the lights in the square were dim because there were only a few streetlights on.


    They started to look around therge square. Because Crescent Garden was Derek''s current


    apartmentplex, Christina knew the environment here better. She found the fountain in the square


    as soon as possible.


    As expected, in the dim and boundless quiet night, Crystal wearing a thin and light-colored dress, and a


    light yellow suitcase was at the right hand side. She sat by the fountain, looked down, and her hair was


    messy blown by the night wind, even the face was a little cold and pale.


    Christina walked closer and looked at her eyes, which were bloodshot from crying.


    Christina felt a little depressed when she saw how sad Crystal was, but she also knew that she was not


    good atforting and she couldn''t think of anything to ease her mood.


    As she approached, Patrick followed behind her. Soon Crystal heard footsteps and she looked up at


    them as if she was frightened.


    Christina didn''t want to scare her or embarrass her. She pushed Patrick and asked him to turn around.


    Then she pretended to be calm and asked, "Crystal, you blow me off today."


    Crystal looked at Christina for a long time and tears welled up in her eyes immediately, as if she had


    been holding back all day and finally saw a friend who could rely on for a while.


    She stammered incoherently, "I, I, I''m sorry... I have something to do, so I didn''t go shopping with


    you..."


    As Crystal spoke, she couldn''t help crying.


    "Hey, why are you crying!" Christina could not see others crying and she didn''t know how tofort


    others. Instead, she spoke in a harsh tone and taught her a lesson.


    Crystal was such an honest person. As long as she did something wrong, she would feel extremely


    guilty. If someone else made a mistake, she would easily let it go and forgive it immediately.


    "You''re going to sit here foolishly all night?! Even if you want to hide, you have to find a cozy ce to


    eat and sleep in..."


    Crystal cried even harder when she heard Christina say that.


    Christina sighed and sat directly next to her. Crystal directlyy on her shoulder, wetting her clothes.


    "I know I''m stupid..."


    "Christina, I don''t know what to do."


    Crystal was choked up and she said in a low voice, "They asked me if I could abort this baby because


    they are afraid that Geoffrey would not be able to ept me with a second child. I, I don''t know how to


    refuse... I really want to tell them that I want this child, and I want to give birth to it and raise it myself..."


    Christina gritted her teeth after hearing this. At this moment, Chandler, who was standing not far from


    the fountain, stood there. He didn''t dare to approach, and his gentle face was somewhat at a loss.


    Charles was really worried that Christina would hit Chandler hard and lead him to the hospital. He


    walked over and forced a smile. "Anyway, go home and talk it over. It''s too windy here. It''s bad to catch


    a cold."


    Crystal heard Charles''s voice, she sobbed and tried to stop her tears because she did not dare to


    make a fool of herself with outsiders present.


    Crystal let go of Christina, but she still cast down her eyes. Christina knew Crystal was easy to be


    timid, so she looked at Charles and said, "Crystal, let''s find a ce to rest first. We''ll talk about it


    tomorrow." Then she motioned Charles to give her the car keys.


    "Crystal, let''s go home."


    Chandler knew that Christina was going to take crystal away. He was a little anxious and walked


    forward quickly.


    Crystal shook slightly. She did not turn her head, but she was surprised to hear Chandler''s voice


    because she did not expect him toe to her.


    She had always lived a in life. After her marriage, her life was also considered peaceful, and she


    never expected to quarrel with her husband and leave home. She came to this square aimlessly, silly


    sitting, thinking a lot, and she even felt a little regretful that she should not quarrel with Chandler, or she


    could try other ways tomunicate with him. She only med her own not being good at words.


    "I, today... Today, I suddenly received that B Ultrasound picture and I couldn''t believe it. I was too


    excited..."


    Chandler talked intermittently, probably because Patrick and Charles were present, and he felt worse


    when he saw Crystal crying so sadly.


    He had been tired of looking for her all day and was in a daze. Christina pped him at noon, but he


    didn''t mind much. The news of Crystal''s sudden pregnancy surprised him more. The couple would


    make love at night but they had taken full contraceptive measures. This pregnancy was an ident


    and it was beyond his n. Most importantly, he never thought that he would have his own child.


    Charles looked at Chandler who was so unconfident now, he immediately remembered the time when


    Chandler''s brother died, Chandler was also so depressed.


    "You guys go home first. Calm down and discuss what you need to do. There''s nothing that can''t be


    solved between a couple." Charles said at the right time.


    Crystal hesitated when she heard Charles say that.


    Chandler walked over and held her hand tightly. He turned to her and looked at her gently. "Let''s go


    home."


    These words melted the ice in Crystal''s heart for many years. Her mother got married for the second


    time and she was living in her stepfather''s house. She had no ambition in her life and she only hoped


    to have her own home when she grew up.


    Tears welled up again. Her cheeks, which had been blown by the night wind, were cold. Chandler held


    her hand so tightly, which made her feel more secure.


    It was the first time she had run away so willfully, and she had been very uneasy all day.


    She was not as strong as those career women who always called for divorce. She did not want to


    divorce and tried very hard to protect her family. She was careful not to make others unhappy because


    she cared too much about her family.


    But she insisted on having a baby.


    On the other side, Christina looked angry and shouted at Chandler, "Things haven''t been settled yet.


    Don''t think about taking her back..."


    Seeing that Chandler ignored herpletely, Christina ran over and wanted to snatch Crystal away,


    but Patrick stopped her in time. Christina kept going forward, bared her teeth and hands, and lost her


    temper following Chandler''s car. "Hey, Chandler Stephenson, stop!"


    Chandler''s dark blue BMW started the engine and quickly disappeared into the quiet night.


    "Don''t you know that Crystal is a timid girl? How can you watch her go back?" Christina was so angry


    that she punched Patrick on the shoulder.


    "You''d better not meddle in their family affairs."


    Charles said slowly, "And the Stephenson family is a schrly family, so the whole family is very


    reasonable. It will be fine."


    Christina red at him angrily. "They''re forcing Crystal to have an abortion now. Is that fine?"


    "This matter, Stephenson family was indeed wrong," Charles added. "But you''d better not interfere if


    they have children or not. Do you want the couple to divorce just like that? Marriage is a serious thing,


    and Crystal should never have thought of divorce. Christina, don''t teach her a bad lesson. Not


    everyone is the same as you, Miss Dickens."


    Crystal cherished Chandler a lot and the Stephenson family knew it well.


    Christina''s face darkened but she did not speak again.


    No matter how close friends they were, they shouldn''t interfere in each other''s marriage. Otherwise,


    things might get worse.


    "Lucy is right. Why do women get married? They only suffer!"


    Christina was furious. Looking at Charles and Patrick, she immediately vented her anger on them


    strode into the car.


    Charles followed her to be the driver, and said to her, "You can''t say that. It''s good for women to get


    married."


    "Bah."


    Patrick walked at the end, his eyes first fixed on a small ck shadow in the grass. It was a ck cat


    squatted there very upright and it did not move. Its golden eyes and pupils looked a little unusual and


    strange. It seemed to understand what they were saying and its tail asionally swung.


    It was just a cat. Patrick didn''t care.


    Inside the car, Christina and Charles were still arguing about the pros and cons of a woman getting


    married. Patrick suddenly thought of another thing and asked, "Are you very familiar with Lucy?"


    Christina in the car was caught off guard by his question. She wanted to make an excuse guiltily and


    dodged his eyesight.


    "Meow!"

    The ck cat in the grass walked out slowly and gave a sudden cry in the quiet square.


    Christina immediately pointed out the window and changed the subject. "There''s a cat!"


    Charles drove the car and replied, "A cat. Why?"


    "It seems a little familiar."


    Charlesined, "Cats all over the world look alike."


    "I feel iting out of the grass and staring at me..."


    "Christina, you''re thinking wildly."


    Patrick called Charles out because he didn''t want Christina to go home in a bad mood because of


    Crystal.
