Spoil My Sweet Window novel (Harold and Crystal) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Crystal ate a lot of cake. Her stomach was finally full. After eating, Luke took her to the funeral hall. “Madam, I have to go back to report to Master White. Please excuse me.”

Crystal nodded. “Okay, go and do your work. I’ll go in myself.”

There were indeed more people coming to the funeral hall than yesterday. Freda’s face was full of tears as she spoke to the crowd. Crystal didn’t even need to pay attention to her words to know what she was lamenting about.

“Freda,” a short-haired woman walked over from not far away. “Where’s the wife Mrs. White got for Harold? Why isn’t she here?”

The person next to Freda couldn’t wait to speak up. “You mean Dora Evans? She’s a rare beauty in City W. I didn’t expect the Evans family to be willing to…”

Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, the woman smiled servilely, “Freda, that’s not what I meant. No matter how beautiful the daughter of the Evans family is, she can’t compare to the status of the White family. Even if Master White dies, Dora’s marriage isn’t a fair one…”

The short-haired lady snorted. “Dora? Do you think the Evans family is stupid? Dora didn’t marry into the White family. The one who got married to Harold is the Evans’ biological daughter, who has been raised in the countryside.”

The Evans family’s scandal had been spread among the upper class in City W. Back then, after Mrs. Evans gave birth to three sons, she wanted to have another daughter so she went to the countryside to recuperate. She thought that she would go back to give birth to her little daughter in the city when the due day came. Unexpectedly, she had to deliver the baby earlier in the village. The condition in the countryside was poor. The medical staff was careless enough to bring her the wrong baby from the nursery. The life of the real daughter had undergone great changes since then. Talking about common senses, after knowing the babies’ identities, the Evans family should have swapped them back. Or, they could easily take care both of them. But they were so afraid that Doral couldn’t bear this fact, and that was why they had decided to abandon their blood daughter in the rural village.

If it wasn’t for the sake of fulfilling their engagement with the White family, the Evans family would have probably considered that their blood daughter was already dead.
