Chapter 74 Have Some Self Respect
After the conversation, a strange air descended upon the atmosphere.
Just as Crystal planned to leave shortly, they heard the doorbell ring.
Anna was in the midst of giving John treatment, so she instructed, “Crystal, why don’t you get the door.”
The moment Crystal opened the door, her face gradually lost all color.
Standing at the door was none other than Robert. With seven to eight cigarette butts littered. at his feet, it was clear that he had been there for some time. As both of their eyes met, the gloominess in Robert’s eyes was unmistakable.
Meanwhile, Anna’s voice rang out from inside. “Who is it?”
Crystal replied at once, “It’s just an insurance salesman.” She then headed outside before shutting the door immediately.
Seeing Robert again, Crystal no longer harbored any feelings of the past.
She asked coldly. “What are you doing here? If you’re here to visit Dad, you can save it. Don’t you think he has suffered enough?”
After throwing the cigarette in his hand on the ground, Robert stubbed it out with his expensive leather shoe before looking up with an intent expression in his eyes. “I’m here to see you, Crystal.”
He added, “Let’s go back to our old condominium to talk. You still have stuff there which can collect.”

Crystal was amused that he had the gall to bring it up.
Previously, she had assumed that the condominium held the best of her memories until she discovered that it was simply poison disguised as candy. Without a moment’s hesitation, she rejected the idea. “I don’t want them anymore. Just throw them away.”
Expecting her response, Robert gulped before replying softly, “You know I won’t do that, Crystal. I just can’t bring myself to.”
“Suit yourself!”
Just as Crystal opened the door to go back in, Robert hugged her tightly from behind and. Inlock succeeded ear, “Don’t be so cold, Crystal. You were never like this in the past.
Contrary to his belief, Crystal had now moved on, whereas he was the one who was still stuck. in the past.
In spite of that, Robert was a proud man. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the condominium’s key, the same one Crystal used to have.
Flashing a wry smile, he remarked in a nonchalant tone, “You’re right. We should forget. about the past for both our sakes.”
Crystal said nothing in response.
As Robert leaned into her, his tone took an insidious turn. “That aside, do

At that moment, the feelings Robert had for her grew, as he had never slept with her before.
