Gina said busily, “No need, you all have jobs, let me stay and take care of her!”
“Mom, are you treating me like an outsider and not part of the family?” Crystal smiled sweetly, “I just took all my annual leave, and I can take a few more days off. You have a job too, so you guys go ahead and do your thing, and I’ll take care of Emily!”
Gina felt a bit awkward. Although Crystal and Elliott were living together, they hadn’t officially gotten married yet, so having Crystal take care of Emily now felt a bit embarrassing.
“It’s really fine, I’m Emily’s sister–in–law, and taking care of her is something I should do anyway. Let’s just settle this!” Crystal laughed and got busy.
At dinner time, Crystal mentioned that she would be staying to take care of Emily.
Both Emily and Elliott were surprised. Elliott was surprised because Crystal indeed had taken her annual leave, but the two of them had planned to go on a trip, so he didn’t know why she changed her mind all of a sudden.
That was fine though, since he hadn’t found a reason to take a leave from work. Since they were not going on a trip anymore, he didn’t need to ask for leave.
Why was Crystal suddenly so nice to her? Emily wondered.
With Crystal’s determination and enthusiasm, Emily couldn’t refuse, and so the matter was settled.
Elliott went to get Crystal’s clothes in the afternoon, and Gina went back to her rented house.
Taking advantage of this time, Emily arranged Crystal’s living space, telling her that she could use any room except the master bedroom and the study.
Crystal casually asked, “This house belongs to that Mr. James, right? Does he come by often?”
Emily thought Crystal was suspicious of her relationship with Charlie and hurriedly said, “Charlie won’t come over regularly.”
“Oh!” Crystal was a bit disappointed and said to Emily, “You’ve had a long day, go lie down on the bed. Just call me if you need anything.”
After Emily went to rest in her room, Crystal boldly took a look around the house. She saw wine racks filled with various wines, picked a bottle at random, checked its price online, and was immediately stunned.
In the evening, Estelle arrived at Emily’s place with soup and food, intending to take care of her. To her surprise, she found Crystal sitting on the couch, engrossed in watching a show.
“Estelle!” Emily greeted her with a smile, “You didn’t have to buy groceries, my sister–in–law is here to look after me.”
Crystal approached them, taking the soup and food from Estelle’s hands with a cheerful demeanor. “No need to cook tonight!”
She carried the food to the kitchen to heat it up, leaving Estelle with a lingering feeling that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
With Crystal accompanying Emily, Estelle didn’t stay long. She chatted with Emily for a while and then went back upstairs.
In the evening, Jonathan took her to dinner at Courtney’s, and Estelle mentioned Crystal was downstairs taking care of Emily. Jonathan had a meaningful expression after hearing this.
The next day, Carson heard that Emily had been discharged and wanted to visit her. Emily was afraid that he would misunderstand her living in Charlie’s house, so she made an excuse that her sister–in– law was there and it was not convenient to let him come.
But not long after hanging up the phone, Charlie suddenly came by.
Crystal didn’t expect Charlie to show up unexpectedly. She was still wearing her pajamas and hadn’t put on makeup. She quickly hid in the room.
Charlie brought Emily many supplements and asked if she needed a carer to look after her.
Emily hurriedly said, “No need, my sister–in–law is taking care of me these days.”
Charlie sat on the couch and looked around, asking, “Where’s your sister–in–law?”
Emily hadn’t seen Crystal for a while now, so she smiled and said, “She might be in her room.”
As the two of them were talking, Crystal came out of her room, her makeup done, and she had changed into a Chanel dress. The dress wrapped around her voluptuous body, making her look extremely s*xy.
