Chapter 300: I Never Lie

Crystal had been taking a nap when Nancy started crying, and the noise woke her up. By the time she got to the stairs, though, Nancy, Noah, and Clark were hugging it out. She paused to catch the moment on film, and then she joined them.

Nancy’s face turned red when she saw her friend. “I suppose you saw all of that….”

“Not really.” Crystal shrugged. “But I’ve got a picture of you guys hugging. A blind man could see how much you love each other.”

As Clark climbed onto the sofa to comfort Nancy, Crystal took out her cell phone and took a few more photos.

“What’s with the photos?” Nancy asked.

“I want to show the world what a happy life you’ve given Clark,” she replied.

“It won’t work,” Nancy argued. “Paul will just say that the pictures are fake.”

“He might,” Crystal admitted. “But I still think it’s our best defense against his accusations. We can also use older photos and videos like the ones the servants took of us playing in the snow yesterday.”

“The more photos the better.” Nancy smiled hopefully. “Isn’t that right?”

“Exactly so,” Crystal agreed. “Let’s stay positive. I have a feeling that everything will work out in the end.”

Nancy frowned and said, “I wish I had your ability to stay positive.”

Nathan arrived home that evening as per his usual time, with Vic walking in front of him. Today, though, when he reached the door, it opened automatically.

Crystal had a giant grin on her face as she pulled it inward. “You’re back!” she exclaimed.

And she held out her hand for his coat. Feeling a little surprised, Nathan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “What’s all this?” hung it up. “You must be cold,” she said.

Crystal brushed the snow off his coat, and “The snow melts when it sees you.” Nathan shook his head and chuckled. “So, how could I ever be cold?”

Nathan kicked off his shoes, and Clark offered him a pair of warm slippers. “Uncle Davis,” he said. “Put on your slippers.” Then, while he was putting the slippers on, the boy put his shoes on the shoe rack for him.

Nathan could not figure out what was going on, but he liked it. Multiple times, he asked them why they were being so nice, but they evaded the question. He was about to try again, but as he opened his mouth, Nancy called from the kitchen: “Dinner time. Everyone up to the table!” And as she spoke, the scents struck him, and his mouth began to water.

There was a box of toys under Nathan’s arm, and he handed it to Clark. “These are for you,” he said. “Now, let’s go and eat!”

They sat down at the table, and as Nathan dished his food onto his plate, Crystal asked him how his day went. Nathan frowned and asked, “Why are you so nice today?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Crystal grumbled. “You make it sound like I am usually a real bitch...”

“No, no, no.” He gave her a kiss and said, “That’s not what I meant. You have to admit that you are being a lot more attentive to me than you usually are.”

“Well, okay.” Crystal smiled. He kissed her again, this time more passionately, but when he tried to gnaw on her lip, she pulled away. “What the heck?”

“We can’t do this in front of Clark,” Crystal replied. “We can’t be bad role models.” She pointed to the porch. “Let’s go over there. Don’t you think that it will be exciting to sneak off to kiss?”

Once they were on the porch, they embraced, and he pressed her against the wall. They kissed passionately as they explored each other’s mouths with their tongues and their bodies with their hands.

As they were kissing, Nathan noticed that Crystal was keeping an eye on what was going on in the house. He bit into her lip, and she yelped.

“What was that for?” Crystal hissed.

“You are very distracted,” Nathan replied. “Stay with me.” He slipped his right hand into her dress and caressed her left breast. “Why are you being so kind to me today?”

When Crystal did not respond, he lifted her skirt and rubbed himself against her thighs. She wanted to resist, but she was afraid of making a big noise and drawing everyone’s attention. “Don’t you dare!” she hissed.

Nathan chuckled. He pressed his index finger against her lips and shushed her.

“We can’t do this here,” Crystal whispered. “We could be found out at any time...”

Nathan wriggled his eyebrows and said, “That’s what makes this so exciting.”

He pushed her panties aside, and he was about to insert two fingers into her wet core when Wolf came around the corner. He was barking and wagging his tail, and Clark was on his back.

Crystal hastily pushed Nathan away so that she could greet the happy intruders. “Clark!” she exclaimed. “Look at you! You are such a big boy!”

Clark’s brow furrowed. “Aunt Crystal, what were you doing with Uncle Davis?”

The color drained from Crystal’s face. For a moment, her mind was completely blank, and just as an appropriate answer came to her, Nathan said, “We’re making a little sister for you!”

Crystal glared at Nathan. “Why did you say that?!?!” she shouted.

“I never lie.”

“Where will my little sister come from?” Clark asked.

Nathan grinned and said, “Girls are born with a hole, and boys have a duty to fill it. That is what you crawled out of: the hole. And your little sister will do the same, and she will also have a hole.”

Crystal gritted her teeth and pinched him. “What are you talking about?”

Nathan grunted but said no more on the matter.

Clark stared at them for a moment, considering what had been said, and then he rode away on Wolf.

Later that night, Nancy noticed that Clark was rummaging through his clothes, and she asked him what he was doing. He looked up at her, smiled, and said, “Uncle Davis said Aunt Crystal has a hole...”

“Oh?” Nancy was shocked, but she hid it as best she could.

“I crawled out of your hole,” he explained. “My baby sister will crawl out of Aunt Crystal’s. But you must mend your hole, Mommy. Let me fill it for you.”

Nancy’s mouth dropped open. She almost fainted. She began to blush, and she did not know what to say to her son.

Crystal and Nathan were in the next room, and they heard everything. “Look what you’ve done!” she growled.

Nathan just shrugged. “He’ll have to know sooner or later.”

“He’s just a toddler!” Crystal exclaimed. “If I get pregnant, I won’t let you near the baby, not if this is the kind of parent you’ll be!”

Nathan’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re going to get pregnant! Oh, happy day!”

“What the f**k?” Crystal could not believe what she was hearing. He was like a child. He only heard what he wanted to hear. “If you want to have children,” she said, “you will have to have them with someone else!”
