Chapter 985


    "There are a few more little things, all noted down here,’ Crystal said, smiling at rk, her gaze steady.


    "You have a girlfriend now, so unless there''s a group activity, I won''t be around anymore. I don''t want to


    cause any misunderstandings. Besides, I have a lot of things to handle in thepany.


    Take care of yourself, and don''t forget to take care of your girlfriend too.


    As she said this, she noticed the injury on rk. No doubt, he had gotten it for Carol, hadn''t he?


    She felt her tears welling up. She had nned to give him onest embrace before leaving, but the


    silhouette at the upstairs window made her suppress her final impulse and whimsy.

    “Well, I''m off~” Crystal shed her most radiant, sunny smile and waved to rk. "You must be happy."


    Only then would her letting go mean something.


    Turning around, her tears finally overflowed. To keep the person behind her from seeing her trembling


    shoulders, she kept smiling, trying to calm down.


    “Crystal.” rk wanted to say sorry, but deep down, he knew that wasn''t what she needed.


    Without halting her steps or looking back, Crystal waved her hand high, bidding farewell to the person


    behind her and elegantly leaving Mystic Oak House.


    Once she got into the car, she maintained her smile. “Drive."


    The chauffeur, seeing her smiling through her tears, waspletely baffled.


    It wasn''t until they had driven off into the distance that she broke down crying, as if she had lost the


    most important, most precious light in her life.


    Meanwhile, rk stared in the direction she had left in for a while before lowering his head to flip


    through the small notebook in his hand.


    The book was filled with small anecdotes that helped him understand his parents better.


    It revealed that his father had worked so hard when he was young that he now suffered from chronic


    neck and shoulder pain, sometimes keeping him awake at night. Only a certain brand of ointment could


    alleviate it.


    This brand was exclusive to the royal family, but Crystal had managed to secure a decade''s worth of


    the ointment using her connections.


    His mother, it turned out, liked wearing knee-length skirts because they made her look dignified. She


    wasn''t a fan of extravagant earrings, preferring simple and elegant designs.


    His father had acrophobia and would get weak in the knees in any building taller than twenty stories.


    rk remembered how his father had tried to bond with him by taking him skydiving.


    His mother disliked ady but had to maintain cordial rtions due to past favors. So, Crystal had


    noted down three questions that, when asked, would certainly make thedy back off.


    From the notebook, rk could feel Crystal''s meticulous care. She had recorded many details,


    including what kind of flowers his parents disliked, their dining habits, what things upset them, and so


    on.


    Carol stood by the window on the second floor, watching rk as he engrossed himself in the


    notebook, her eyes darkening a bit.


    After some time, rk entered the house to wake Carol up, the notebook nowhere in sight.


    Carol didn''t ask and acted as if nothing had happened. After breakfast, they set off for Riverside Vi.


    Riverside Vi was one of the many properties under Romeo''s name. Located by the river and usually


    vacant, it had been lent to her foster parents for the time being.
