Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Stay In My Room 1 

Melora’s face flushed. 

It’s been days since then, so why would it still hurt? 

Alfred discreetly smiled. 

Perhaps he had been too rough that night, for he recalled her calling out in pain several times. Young women like her had to be treated with care. 

Right then, the server came in with more food. 

There were only two of them, but the table was filled with dishes. She could not help but say, “It’ll be a waste if we can’t finish them.” 

With a half-smile on his face, Alfred said, “Now you know that you shouldn’t be spending so much of my money?” 

As he placed some food on her plate, he muttered, “You’ll be considerate when you learn to let me conserve some energy.” 

At that, Melora’s face turned redder. He’s shameless! 

Noticing her expression, Alfred decided to let her go on the matter. 

Bringing her a bowl of chicken soup, he gently said, “This is made from free-range chickens. It’s good for you.” 

Melora quietly drank it. 

Despite everything, she found it hard to relax. 

She did not know what he had in mind for her. 

Alfred made sure Melora was fed well during the meal, and he seemed pleased at the end of it. Then, he took out something from his pocket. 

It was a talisman for safety. 

As Alfred tied the string for her and tucked it under her shirt, he said, “When I was getting one for Crystal, I got one for 

you too. You’re not allowed to take it off this month, understand?” 

Melora could not help but take it back out to touch it. 

Alfred patted her head and went on, saying, “I hope both you and Crystal are safe and sound.” 

In a small voice, Melora said, “I want to give it to Skyler.” 

The one who needed to be protected the most was Skyler. 

A wave of sorrow washed over Alfred when he heard her words. He knew not if that child would survive, but he knew that Henry was on the verge of insanity. Nothing was going to stop Henry from saving Skyler. At this rate, Henry would not even mind transforming Skyler into something not human. 

Alfred then took out a sub-card from his wallet and placed it in Melora’s hand.

Melora froze. 

What… is the meaning of this? 

She stammered out, “We…. We…” 

Instead of answering her straightforwardly, he gently told her, “This is my sub-card. You can buy anything you like.” 

Melora seemed to be on the verge of tears. 

It was time for Alfred to leave, but he was worried about her, so he said, “I’ll come visit you in a while. Melora, please take care of Crystal for me.” 

Melora nodded obediently. 

However, when he stood up, she could not stop herself from grabbing the hem of his shirt and uttering in a trembling voice, “Alfred.” 

He turned to fix his gentle gaze on her. 

Melora had an anxious look on her face as she held onto the black card. She had to muster her courage to squeeze out, “What does this mean?” 

Alfred smiled.. 

He countered, “What do you think it means?” 

Her lips trembled. “I don’t know. Alfred, please be clear with me.” 

Alfred hugged her and let her bury her head into his belly. In comparison to him, she was young, and he could not help but treat her like a child. After a long while, he finally said, “Isn’t it normal for a boyfriend to buy things for his girlfriend?” 

Melora’s lips trembled even more. 

As she hugged his waist tightly, she sobbed out, “Then can your girlfriend request for you to not go for other women? Can I please just be the only person for you?” 

She dared not imagine their future, but she could sense his sincerity when he said that they were going to be together with no one else between them. 

Alfred bowed his head to gaze at her, and at that moment, she lifted her head. 

He took the opportunity to kiss her. 

He had a flight to catch soon, so he did not have much time to spend with her. After a brief while of kissing, he muttered, “There hasn’t been anyone else since we met.” 

Her arms were still wrapped around his waist as her face reddened again. 

She suddenly recalled the other time when she became jealous. 

Alfred did not laugh at her. The young woman liked him so much, so how could he laugh at her? 

As he caressed her cheek, he uttered, “You’re not allowed to date others too. If I see others confessing to

you, I’ll break your legs.” 

She meekly hummed in acknowledgment before looking at him, reluctant to let him leave. 

Alfred kissed her and said, “I should go now.” 

Melora stood up and adjusted his collar before passing him his bag. At that very moment, Alfred felt the urge to shove her into his bag so that he could bring her with him. 

Before leaving, he said, “I’ll be bringing Crystal back to Coldbridge soon. Come with us then.” 

Melora was surprised. 

The future remained uncertain for her brother and Crystal, so was it right for her to go to Coldbridge? 

Alfred recalled how his mother had misheard her name as “Melon” and laughed. “You don’t have to worry. I’ll be right there with you.” 

After exchanging a few more sweet words with each other, Alfred finally left. 

Leslie was eating in another room. When he saw Alfred exit his room, he quickly came over and teased, “Mr. Lodge, you seem like you’re in a good mood.” 

“How can I be? There are many things to deal with.” 

Despite his words, a smile played on his lips. 

Melora’s my source of happiness. 

In the meantime, Melora was studying the card Alfred had given to her again and again. This is a gift from a boyfriend to a girlfriend! 

She even sniffed the talisman, concluding that the scent on it belonged to Alfred. He had put the talisman in his pants pocket, and it was still warm in her hands.. 

A beat later, her face turned red again. 

She could not help but be reminded of that night. 

Melora never expected him to be so proficient in that field despite how much older he was than her. 

He was a little rough, but he had pleasured her several times that night. 

At that, she pinched her thigh.. 

Melora Miller! What are you thinking about? Why are you thinking such things at a time like this? No, no. You should be thinking more about what being boyfriend-girlfriend means… 

Half a month later, Crystal and Henry got a divorce. 

It had been a full month since Crystal gave birth to Skyler. After the procedures, Alfred came back from Coldbridge to pick up Crystal and Melora. 

Trapped in her throes of misery, Crystal did not think much about that. 

Back at the Lodge residence in Coldbridge, Lucia’s heart ached whenever she looked at Crystal. As she

embraced her granddaughter, she cursed at Henry. 

Melora felt embarrassed, 

Alfred glanced at her before turning to the butler. “Crystal will be staying in her old room. Tidy up the guest room in the east for Miss Melora.” 

The butler froze. 

Isn’t the guest room to the east right opposite Mr. Lodge’s? 

He hesitated before asking. “Would that disturb you?”
