After rebirth she became heartless

Chapter 28

Nick saw that Crystal didn't want to say anything, After all, this question seemed a bit abrupt.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk about it. Everyone has things they don't want to talk about."

The  fat cat ran to the second floor at some point and squatted at Nick's feet, meowing. Nick bent down and picked it up.

Crystal's brows darkened. She felt that she needed to tell Nick that she was staying at his house now. If Brandon came to see her, she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Nick. Crystal smiled mockingly. She also wondered why Brandon came to see her. Didn't he already meet Ava?

"I did like Brandon before, but now, I don't like him anymore," Crystal said lightly.

Nick didn't seem to hear it and continued to smooth the big fat cat's hair.

As if thinking of something, Crystal asked, "Nick, can I ask you a question?"

Nick raised his head, "What?"

"It's not just any other question... I just really want to know why you draw so many stars..."

She asked this question once yesterday. Nick did not answer her at that time.

There was no expression on his face, but Fat Tiger screamed and ran away from her hand. Nick pondered for a moment and uttered a few words with great force, "Because, a person."

"A very important person."

...

In the afternoon, Crystal accompanied Nick to move the small bed in the warehouse. They went up to the second floor and cleaned the room briefly.

Nick's current source of income relies entirely on this small painting studio. Although his life is a bit poor, it is also very warm.

"If you don't plan to go back to City A, just stay in the town now. The economy here is a bit poor, but the air is very good, suitable for relaxing."

Crystal nodded.

There is no need to talk about Nick's painting skills. The quality of the paintings on the wall was much higher than any teacher Sophia hired for her.

But why does such a powerful Nick live in a small place like Central Town? Why doesn't he go to the more developed city instead of running a half-dead small art gallery here?

"Hello, hello, who are you?"

"Sister, you finally answered my call."

It was Jade.

Crystal was stunned and subconsciously pressed the hang-up button.

Her finger was less than a centimeter away from the red button. Jade's voice continued, "Hey, sister, why don't you speak?"

"I heard from the Ford family, You left the City A, did something unexpected happen?"

The girl's voice was soft and waxy, far less hysterical and crazy than in her memory.

Crystal's expression darkened, "Nothing happened."

Jade listened to the cold voice. Stunned, she was so thoughtful that it was impossible not to hear the unfamiliarity in Crystal's words,

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time since you moved to the City A. Why didn't you say anything to me when you came to Town?"

"Central Town?"

Crystal smiled and wiped off the floating dust on the porcelain bottle.

"I have classmates who live in Central Town. They said that they seemed to have met you on the street... I happened to come to Central today. I'm here to play with my classmates, and I just want to ask if you are really here," Jade said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter if you're not here. Maybe they saw it wrong, but Crystal, I haven't seen you for a long time," the other side choked. "I miss you very much. Can you come and see me?"

The same was true for Jade in her previous life. She had been clamoring to see her since she moved back to City A, but the Jones family had always lived in City D, and the procedures for entering the upper city from City D were very complicated, let alone entering City A.

Crystal didn't want to see her, let alone meet her, but she always felt that if she didn't meet Jade today, the girl would haunt her like a ghost.

How did she know she was in Central Town?

Crystal was not stupid enough to believe her words.

There were not many people at the passenger bus station. It was already dark when Crystal passed by. She saw Jade sitting on a suitcase, wearing a junior high school uniform and a small smile.

"Sister, I'm here!"

Crystal followed her voice and approached. Jade paused for a moment, then retracted her hand a little sarcastically,

"Can I still call you sister now?"

Sophia warned them, now Crystal and she had nothing to do with their Jones family. She did not allow the Jones family to go to City A to see her, let alone mention her casually.

Crystal asked, "What do you want from me?"

Jade took out a gift box from the bag.

The delicate box was squashed by various things in the bag, and the dent marks were a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, it contained nothing. It's an expensive thing, so I won't feel bad if it gets crushed.

The outer packaging is the kind of big pink that small town shopping malls like, which is earthy and cheap.

Jade looked remorseful and tried to flatten the dented area, but it became more and more obvious.

She handed the thing to her awkwardly, "I bought this with my own pocket money. I saved it for a long time."

Crystal opened the packaging bag, and inside was a bracelet. In the middle of the bracelet was a small pendant.

"This is a lucky bead, sister. I heard from others that you seem to be unhappy in City A. I hope you have good luck."

Crystal held the gift.

Such a small gadget was naturally not a big deal for a rich person. What to study, but for a junior high school student like Jade who survives on 80 yuan a month for breakfast, it probably takes a long, long time to save.

If that hadn't happened, she would have been very happy to receive this gift. But now, Crystal didn't know what she felt in her heart and what expression she should show.

Thirteen-year-old Jade smiled a little shyly, not at all the gloomy and bad look she had as an adult.
