Chapter 447: You Want To Join Me?
“Did he have to take advantage of this wedding?”
“He wants to reassure Davis’s concerns that he can make plans succeed while he’s put down his guard.”
Crystal’s thoughts finally came together. But there was still something she didn’t understand.
“Why does Nathan give the key to Mr. Davis?”
“Master did it to show his sincerity and his determination that he would not stay with you. In fact, to gain Mr. Davis’s trust.” Vic replied, “It was the young master who cut off his back.”
That was the reason why Nathan was so cruel to her.
Crystal felt a little cold as the wind blew.
Vic took off his coat and put it on for her. “Miss Smith, the master, did everything for you.”
“If he really wanted to do it for me, he should put down his hatred and go to the hospital!”
“Even if he got better, he would not be with you. He doesn’t want to drag you down.”
Crystal looked up at Nathan at one of the gravestones and stood for a moment coldly.
Then he turned and walked down the long steps.
Crystal pushed her wheelchair by herself and waited for him at the bottom of the steps.
The two looked across the long staircase. He seemed so far away to her, his eyes so deep.
She felt that she was not relieved to know the truth of the matter. On the contrary, she felt as heavy as a mountain and did not know what to do.
At last, he stood before her and looked at her coldly. “All explained?”
Vic leaned over and replied, “Yes, sir.”
“Is Miss Smith happy with this outcome?”
He was looking at her coldly.
His estrangement saddened her.
Crystal reached for him. “Nathan, don’t do that to me.”
“Thanks for all you’ve done for me...” Crystal shook her head wryly. “But people don’t live to live. We must always put ourselves at risk for those we love.”
Nathan didn’t think she understood his intentions.
“We had such a short, pleasant time together. Every time it gets better and better, some misunderstanding separates us.” She looked at him firmly. “You don’t have much time left. Why can’t you keep me by your side, be with you, and fall in love with you once?”
Nathan looked at her steadily.
Crystal smiled. “Why don’t we all do what we want, regardless of the consequences?”
His voice was quiet. “How do you want to be reckless?”
“I wanted us to be like a normal couple, going to the movies, cooking, shopping.”
Nathan looked at her so affectionately.
“I want you to be happy once,” smiled Crystal, her eyes sparkling. “Does hatred matter so much? You think so, and I won’t stop you from getting your revenge... But don’t give up love for hate.”
Nathan leaned down slowly and kissed her on the forehead.
“Crystal, this may be the only time we’ve thought together.”
“Huh?”
“That’s what I was going to do.” When he asked the legal team to make a will, he planned to keep Crystal by his side, and they would love each other and be together from day to day. “Otherwise, you think I’m going to ask Vic to explain this?” He raised his eyebrow.
Crystal smiled suddenly and put her arms around his neck.
Naturally, Nathan straightened up and lifted her to his body.
“Nathan, am I heavy?”
“You press down on my heart like a rock every day. What do you think?”
Nathan carried Crystal and walked out while Vic happily pushed the wheelchair to follow.
Crystal hugged him tightly. “Really?” she asked. “Why don’t you pick out a graveyard now that you’ve come?”
Nathan stared at her insidiously. “Have you forgotten what I said? All I do is keep you alive.”
Crystal arranged his collar and said, “I will live until I die of old age. And then I’ll bury myself next to you, okay?”
Nathan clenched his arm and said, “do you like jewelry or diamonds?”
“Hey, do you change the subject too fast?”
“Tell me, which one do you like?”
“Diamonds.” She answered casually, “A diamond ring would be better.”
“Miss Smith, ashes diamonds refer to the conversion of cremated human ashes into bright diamonds. It can be carried with you and can be made into jewelry. “Vic said.
Crystal tightened up and stared hard at Nathan. “Is this your plan?”
Nathan glanced gloomily at Vic. “Keep your mouth shut!”
Vic silently slowed down his pace and followed behind.
Crystal clutched Nathan’s clothes. “You planned that already? Once you die, will you let Vic make you into a diamond and send it to me?”
“Don’t you like it?”
“Don’t you think it’s terrible?”
“Are you afraid of me?” He stared at her with red eyes.
Crystal couldn’t tell. Of course, she wasn’t afraid. How can love make people afraid?
“If you’re afraid, forget it.”
“I’m not afraid! Crystal hugged him. “I just can’t accept you like a cold diamond.”
“Everyone dies.”
“But we haven’t loved enough yet.”
Nathan grinned. “Is that so? What are you going to do about it?”
“Nathan, you’re so selfish. You want me to live well, but I can only love a cold diamond for the rest of my life?”
“I can live in your heart for as long as you want.”
Crystal’s heart gave a sharp pull, and it twitched with pain.
His chin touched the top of her head, and from time to time, he kissed her hair.
What had been a cloudy day turned into sunshine.
“Let’s go.” Nathan led her away.
Crystal paused. “I don’t want to go back to the hospital.”
“Your hand was hurt. I don’t recommend you run around. When you’re a little better, I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go.”
“I just don’t want to go back to the hospital.” She didn’t like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
“Well, we’re not going back to the hospital.
At this time, Nathan’s cell phone rang.
He answered the phone with only a few faint answers.
Crystal knew it was either Marcos or Mabel calling because they didn’t talk to Nathan over Vic.
Crystal felt a pang of disappointment. “You have something to do, don’t you?
“No, it’s all right.”
“Marcos called you? Don’t you have a lot of planning to do about the wedding over there?”
Nathan stared at her thoughtfully. “Your business is the most important.”
Crystal stared at him.
“We’ll go back downtown and have dinner first. Then we’ll go to the movies.”
The two tucked into dinner at the hotel, where Nathan booked her a room.
Crystal lay on the bed and did not want to move.
“Nathan, it’s so tiring going to the theater. Why don’t we go another time? Let’s go to the home theater today.”
“With a TV that big, we can watch movies in 3D.”
Actually, she didn’t want Nathan to be too tired.
Nathan agreed. Then he took off his coat and threw it over the bed.
“What are you going to do?”
“Taking a bath. You want to join me?” His eyes glowed.
“No. Wait a few more days. Just wait.” Crystal didn’t want to fire him up.
But her suggestive words had easily titillated Nathan.
