Both Erik and Holly walked towards Crystal.
Crystal felt awkward as if she was spying on them. She scratched her head and forced a smile, "I'm just feeling a little full at dinner and want to take a stroll! If you two have something to talk about, I won't disturb you!"
Holly grabbed her arm and said, "It doesn't matter. We're done talking!"
When Crystal heard this, she couldn't help but turn to Erik.
Erik was also looking at her with his eyes full of warmth. He smiled and said, "Lil Star, let's go out together tomorrow night! I have a few good comrades-in-arms from Ice city. Holly will also come. It will be be lively!"
Crystal asked, "Holly, are you coming along?"
Holly glanced at Erik and smiled meaningfully. "Yes, of course I will!"
Crystal didn't notice their eye contact in the dark. She simply nodded with a smile. "Okay, I got it!"
Erik smiled and went back to the dinning room.
Holly held Crystal's arm and said, "Lil Star, let's go!"
Crystal smiled in response.
As the sun rose, a new day soon arrived.
Just after lunch, Anthea urged Erik and Crystal to go to the supermarket with her.
After seperating from home for almost a week, Adam would return tomorrow. She wanted to buy his favourite food to fill up the fridge.
Crystal asked in shock, "Mom, are you going to cook?"
She had never seen Anthea appear in front of the stove. Moreover, Adam was reluctant to let his lovely wife cook for him. Even when he was not at home, he would hire a nanny to cook for her.
Anthea said, "Your dad will cook!"
Crystal was stunned.
There were a lot of people in the mall and supermarket. Everyone was busy preparing for the new year.
Anthea was a woman who went shopping crazily. She kept picking things into the shopping cart. When it was almost evening, the three of them went out from the supermarket.
In the direction of the exit, there was a familiar figure walking down.
No way!
She chased all the way here.
At first, Crystal thought that she was wrong. She looked at Erik in surprise and whispered, "Erik, the one in front seems to be..."
Erik looked ahead and frowned.
They were getting closer and closer.
The woman obviously saw them. She stopped and her red lips opened slightly. It seemed that she was going to say hello to Erik.
However, Erik passed by as if he didn't see her.
The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot.
The car was parked far away, so Erik asked Anthea and Crystal to wait for him to pick them up.
Anthea felt extreme happy for his caring.
She felt that he was a good man, just like Adam. If Crystal could marry him, she would be completely relieved!
She sighed in her heart while stroking her daughter's long hair.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
