"More than 20 years?" Nancy didn't understand.
"That is to say, I've been waiting to meet you since I was born," he gave Nancy a charming smile, "You're in a cold sweat, am I so horrible?"
Nancy shook her head, "No..."
"I don't want to be someone you're afraid of," he kissed on the back of Nancy's hand, "I just want to be a big tree, to provide shade and shelter for you."
Nancy lowered her head in a panic, dared not look at him.
That's so unreal, and such dreamlike happiness would catch everyone unprepared, especially someone a boy crazy like Nancy.
Marcos was like a noble prince; no woman could resist his charm and tenderness.
However, Nancy would not know that Marcos's tenderness was exclusive to her.
After hearing the result, the pain in Paul's heart was finally reduced.
He sighed in relief, turned around, and walked to the balcony with depression.
Nancy took a deep breath and blew, then ran to Crystal and whispered with her head on Crystal' shoulder, "Crystal, what should I do?"
Crystal chuckled, "You're excellent; it's not surprising that there are men who like you."
"But... I feel so surprised..."
"He's been so nice to you these days. You should have known his heart."
"I thought it was for you and Master Bush's sake," Nancy buried her head in Crystal' neck, "didn't you say that you'd help me out? And Mr. Garcia is a friend of Master Bush, so...
"You're stupid sometimes..." Crystal sighed.
"Yes, I am stupid, I'm the stupidest. So, just help me out, tell me what to do." Nancy swung Crystal's arm to beg her.
"How do you feel about him?"
"I've never thought about it. I'm afraid of starting a new relationship," Nancy confessed, "I've never thought of getting married again."
"Then think about it from now on," Crystal smoothed back Nancy's hair and went on, "I know what you're afraid of a lot of things. I'll help you see his sincerity. Don't worry; I'm always with you; no one can bully you again."
"Crystal, it's so nice of you..." Nancy acted coquettishly, rubbing against Crystal's arm with her face.
It seemed that Nancy would always be a little girl and could never make decisions herself.
In these three days, Nancy would live in Eric's villa for the convenience of the two women to exchange ideas anytime.
Marriage is a significant event in a woman's life; Crystal would not let Nancy meet another scumbag this time.
In the evening, when Crystal was going to get ready to rest, the cell phone next to the pillow vibrated.
No one knew the number of this cell phone except for Nancy... and the jewelry store...
Crystal picked up the phone.
"Sorry to bother you so late, Miss Smith. We've got in touch with the designer of the watch, and he said he could fix it for you. But there's a small problem, and the designer wants to confirm with you face to face. Could you come over, please?" The caller said.
"Confirm what? I know nothing about watches."
"I don't know, either. The designer told me to inform you of this."
Crystal took a look at the clock. It's almost 10 o'clock.
Eric had said that sleeping earlier was good for the baby, so the party had ended at around 9 o'clock.
"It's a little late now. Does it have to be tonight?"
"In fact, he's going to go abroad for a business trip tomorrow; he plans to fix it tonight. He's the only designer we've found in Brilliant Group who can fix your watch. If we miss the chance, I'm afraid..."
"Tell me the address. I'll set off now."
"That's great. I'll send you the address by message. Please hurry... and be careful."
Although Crystal had doubts about the call but eagerly looked forward to repairing the watch, she had to seize the chance.
It was a specially-made watch, and general designers were not able to deal with it.
However, Eric would certainly stop her from going out and ask her why or request to go with her.
He had been so sensitive when he heard the brand "Brilliant"; if he knew that she was going out to repair Nathan's watch, he would be furious.
He would not only not let her go but would also probably destroy the watch. Crystal rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.
Nancy lived on the first floor; she could secretly escape from the first floor's window!
So, she told the servant that she was going to sleep with Nancy tonight.
Paul was sitting by the window and spending his night in solitary drinking. His long legs hung on the edge of the window, and his eyes kept staring at the lights of a window.
The curtains of that window were suddenly pulled open.
Nancy opened the window.
"Crystal, you're pregnant, it's dangerous to go alone. I'm going with you!"
"Just stay, I'll be back soon," Crystal refused.
"No! I'm going with you. We can take care of each other in case of accidents." Finally, Crystal agreed.
Paul watched the two women sneak out through the window at midnight, and Nancy even wrapped her head in a scarf as if a thief.
Crystal was also amused by her look, "What are you doing?"
"Well, I'm a celebrity now, of course, I have to hide so as not to get found."
"It's late at night; no one can recognize you... You now look more suspicious."
"You're right."
At the gate of the villa, Crystal made up an excuse, and the guard opened the door for them without doubting them.
Fortunately, Eric never restricted her freedom. She always had free access to getting in and out.
Perhaps because he had Carlos in his hand or because he knew that imprisoning Crystal would only raise her rebellion and resistance.
The two women ran out of the neighborhood and caught a taxi smoothly.
The destination was a shallow lake.
The soft light of the European-palace style lamps reflected in the clear lake even at night, the soft sand and swimming fish could be seen in the water.
"It's gorgeous and high-end here."
"Are you Miss Smith?" A man who looked like a steward came over when Crystal was paying for the taxi.
"I am," Crystal answered.
"I'm the chief steward here. The young master asked me to pick you up. Please follow me in. Forgive my asking, this is...?"
The steward gestured towards Nancy.
"I'm her friend," Nancy replied before Crystal.
"I'm sorry, our young master can only meet one guest. I'm afraid that you could go no further."
"Why? We came together, I..." Nancy pouted.
"Young master is eccentric; he doesn't like to meet strangers."
"But... Crystal is also a stranger, and she is also afraid to see strangers!"
Crystal hadn't expected Nancy to be so brave.
"Forget it, Nancy, wait for me in the car," Crystal leaned over to whisper in Nancy's ears, "If I don't come out after half an hour, call me; if I don't answer the phone, call Eric to send people to find me."
Nancy thought it over.
Crystal is right. I can't help even if I go in with her. It'd be better for me to stay outside to be her backup.
"Okay. Be careful. I'll call you after a while."
After arriving here, Crystal somehow felt uneasy and flustered. The luxury style of the villa was very familiar.
Besides, asking her to have a meeting late at night was also suspicious.
Today's Valentine's Day, will it...?
The idea flashed in her mind, but she got rid herself of it at once.
How is it possible.... Nathan must have already forgotten me.
