Chapter 985

"There are a few more little things, all noted down here,’ Crystal said, smiling at Clark, 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 the company.

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

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

She felt her tears welling up. She had planned to give him one last embrace before leaving, but the silhouette at the upstairs window made her suppress her final impulse and whimsy.

“Well, I'm off~” Crystal flashed her most radiant, sunny smile and waved to Clark. "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.” Clark 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, was completely baffled.

His mother disliked a lady but had to maintain cordial relations due to past favors. So, Crystal had noted down three questions that, when asked, would certainly make the lady back off.

From the notebook, Clark 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 Clark as he engrossed himself in the notebook, her eyes darkening a bit.

After some time, Clark 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 Villa.

Riverside Villa 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.
