Crystal fastened her seatbelt.
She looked at Erik, who was starting the car. She thought for a moment and then took the initiative to explain, "Ahem! I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I came here to accompany my female senior schoolmate and only knew it was a fellowship activity after I came!"
Erik answered faintly, "I see!"
Seeing this, Crystal stopped talking about this topic.
She pursed her lips like a child and asked hesitantly, "Brother, weren't you having a meal with Sister Holly? Is it okay for you to come here?"
Erik glanced at her.
His eyes were meaningful, and his voice was slightly deep. "It's okay!"
Crystal nodded her head.
She clasped her hands on her knees and stopped talking, just looking at the dazzling neon lights in front of her.
The car steadily stopped downstairs the apartment building.
Crystal pushed open the door and looked at
Erik, who was walking over in a military uniform from the other side. He seemed to blend into the night. His facial features were shrouded in a dark shadow.
She smiled at him and said, "Brother, the security here has been improved. You can rest assured!"
Erik responded in a low voice, just like what he did in the car before.
"Brother, thank you for sending me back!" Crystal said as she tucked the loose hair in her ear.
"You're welcome!" Erik said.
As his eyes turned to her little face, he suddenly asked faintly, "Lil Star, have you always treated me as your brother, and never treated me as a man?"
Crystal was silent.
Erik's pupils contracted and his voice seemed to be filled with sadness. "Not even once?"
Crystal was stunned.
She clenched her fists hard and she felt pain.
"Forget it!" Before she could say anything, Erik suddenly turned his face away. "It's getting late. You should go to bed early!"
When he was in Ice city, he had heard from her personally that she had always treated him as her brother. Erik even thought that perhaps she had already sensed his feelings, so she purposely rejected him in advance.
But even so, he still didn't give up and asked her again. Now at the critical moment, he was afraid to hear her answer. He was so contradictory.
Erik was going crazy!
Crystal bit her lip. She stepped forward and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
After taking it out, Erik glanced at her from the corner of his eye and then picked it up. "Hello, Holly..."
Holly had intended to have a meal together with Crystal and Erik. Erik knew that Crystal didn't want to go and deliberately made an excuse. So Holly and he just had a simple meal. And he just happened to see Crystal when he passed by the cafe.
At this time, Holly told him on the phone that she had left her phone in his car and there was an important email message for her to reply. She asked him to help send it back.
Erik said, "I know. I'm going back now!"
When Crystal heard it was a call from Holly, she didn't say anything else.
There seemed to be a sharp tool flashing in her heart and she felt a dull pain.
After he hung up the phone, Crystal smiled and said, "Brother, I'm going upstairs. Good night!" "Okay." Erik nodded.
Crystal waved her hand at him. She then turned around and quickly entered the apartment building, not looking back.

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 😩...
