Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1641 - 159: I’ll Wait For You

Once Crystal recovered from her shock, she said, "If Nathan is engaged to Helen, where does that leave me?"

Leslie shrugged and said, "I don't know. I can see now why Eric hasn't been around lately, though…." She produced a pack of cigarettes, took one for herself, and offered Crystal another. "Want one?"

Crystal looked up and nodded. She knew how bad she looked now, and it made her feel like a harlot.

Leslie lit up a cigarette and placed it directly into Crystal's mouth. Then she said, "Everyone knows how much Helen loves Nathan. She would die for him. It is quite the triangle you've landed in. If Helen still loves Nathan, though, he will have to marry her. So you have to be prepared for that."

Leslie blew a cloud of smoke in the air and squinted at Crystal. At this point, Crystal didn't know that the most trouble would come from the old Mr. Davis. He liked Helen, and he had made it clear that she was the only one worthy of marrying Nathan.

Crystal had never smoked before, so the cigarette in her hand was her first. She began to cough as she took a drag, and she quickly decided that smoking was not for her. She hated the smell of cigarettes, with one exception: when it was Nathan that was smoking. She butted the cigarette into the ashtray and said, "Let's get back to the party."

The two went downstairs, and Leslie sat down beside Hugo.

Crystal looked around, and at first, she didn't see Nathan. That was because he was standing on the balcony with Helen.

Helen looked up at Nathan, smiled shyly, and said, "Nathan, how have you been all these years?"

Nathan slightly lowered his head and sighed. From this angle, he could see the small beads of sweat on Helen's nose. She seemed to be really nervous.

"I'm fine," Nathan replied.

"That's good," Helen said. "I thought I'd never see you again. I didn't expect to be rescued. Unfortunately, though, I might be blind forever…."

Nathan: "Don't think too much about it. It's good to be alive."

Helen: "Nathan, I heard that you've..."

Nathan: "Um, I'm married."

"Congratulations," Helen muttered. She fiddled with her fingers, and after a minute of silence, she said, "I'll go and talk to Grandpa."

"I'll go with you tonight," Nathan said.

"Grandpa will be glad to see you." He knew that, in all the world, the only person that his grandpa would listen to was Helen.

Now that Helen was at the party, the atmosphere changed, and it suddenly looked like a scene of bloody slaughter.

When Crystal got up and went to the kitchen to wash her hands, her mind was so preoccupied that she didn't realize that Nathan was behind her.

The kitchen was big, and Nathan's movements were light, like an elegant cheetah. He leaned against the refrigerator and watched Crystal wash her hands. She picked up a towel to dry her hands and brushed a wisp of hair behind her ear with her fingers.

This simple action was a temptation for Nathan, and it made his Adam's apple move slightly. He stretched his long legs and walked towards Crystal lazily and slowly, like a night hunter hidden in a thicket of long, thick grass. Then, suddenly, he circled Crystal's slender waist with his arms and buried his face in her neck.

Crystal' body stiffed, and she tried to create some space between them. "Your fiancée is outside," she said. "Aren't you afraid of being found?"

"Are you afraid?" Nathan asked.

Crystal: "Do you think I'm afraid?"

Nathan: "You're my wife. There's no need to be afraid."

Crystal tried to push his hands away, but he wouldn't budge. "Don't move!" he said. He smiled as he took her hand and pressed it against his erect manhood.

Crystal drew back her hand instinctively, then she pinched the head of his cock and said, "You need to learn to control your lower body, Professor Davis,"

Nathan sighed as he lifted her chin with his free hand. "I just can't control the little guy when I'm with you," he said.

Crystal withdrew her hand and said, "So…should I say thank you?"

Nathan: "Nah, I'll deal with it."

Crystal looked him in the eye and said, "Great. Because, if you don't, I'll have you charged with bigamy."

Nathan chuckled and said, "Never mind that. Where is my birthday present?"

"I didn't get you anything," Crystal answered coldly.

When Nathan heard that, he grabbed her wrist and said, "Well, if you don't have a gift for me, you will have to give yourself as a replacement for your gift!"

Crystal giggled as she went on tiptoe to whisper in his ear. "Tonight," she said. "I'll wait for you."

Once the party was over, Nathan sent Crystal home so that he could take Helen to see the old Mr. Davis.

Nathan didn't know it, but the old man already knew about Helen's return. Eric had contacted him over a week earlier to tell him everything. Thus, when they pulled up to the Davis' villa, he was not surprised at all. In fact, he had been expecting them.

The old man was excited to see Helen. He had felt guilty about her death, and he knew he would sleep easier knowing that she was alive. Today is a good day! - he thought when Nathan had called to say that they were on their way. Once he got off the phone, he had the maid prepare a light meal. That way, the three of them could share a meal together.

Once they were all seated at the table, the old man lifted his glass to propose a toast. He said, "Today, we have two things to celebrate! It is Nathan's birthday, and Helen has returned! Now, there is no reason why two should not become one!"

Nathan had been going to drink a toast, but when he heard the old man's last words, his cup slipped through his fingers and shattered on the ground.
