"Why...do you like someone else?"

Crystal chuckled lightly. "It has nothing to do with anyone else because we're done."

"It's over…"

How come we're over?

"I can explain what happened before. I didn't mean not to answer your call," Brandon said a little incoherently.

"I'm buying you a ring. Don't you want a wedding? I agree. Let's get married now. Get the biggest one."

He didn't lie; he was really talking to the designer about the style of the ring. He was in the city C at the time. He couldn't stand the old-fashioned looks in the city B. Brandon has such a high vision. The designer was talking about the style of the ring. When someone asked him what kind of ring he wanted, he said he wanted the biggest and most expensive one.

Quite a nouveau riche, too.

But he wanted to give the best to Crystal, to his only wife.

He was talking about the style of the ring. Olivia told him that the annoying Ava seemed to have found many media outlets and posted today's photos in a garish manner. Brandon told her and Ava to get out. He was choosing a ring, so don't come. Disturb him.

Then he got a call from the hospital.

Crystal is dead.

His wife is dead.

Their wedding hasn't happened yet.

Brandon held back his desire to cry. He thought he had to hold it back and not cry. If he shed too many tears, they would be worthless. Would Crystal cherish him even less then? Brandon doesn't know, and doesn't dare to know.

Crystal said nothing, watching Brandon's expression carefully, as if thinking about the credibility of his words. But Brandon is not a person who can lie. Has he deceived Crystal before? He couldn't do anything relying on Crystal's preference. There was, maybe only one time, just that one time.

He said, "Our love is wishful thinking."

Two streams of slightly cool liquid slid down the side of Brandon's neck, releasing a moist heat that made the person who rubbed it feel uncomfortable.

"It’s not wishful thinking, no, if you're angry with what I said before, no, I didn't actually mean it."

Brandon's voice became softer and softer, and he cried again. Brandon rarely cried in the past. Every time he cried, Crystal would feel heartbroken and wipe his tears.

"I don't dislike you... I like you very much, you know..."

"You are still angry about Ava. You are angry at me for teaching her to ski."

"At that time," Brandon changed his words, "I hadn't remembered what happened before. I forgot about you, Crystal. Don't you think this is unfair to me? Don't you blame me if you don't remember..."

In his previous life, he only went on a business trip to the third city B. He did not accept Ava's confession, nor was he engaged to Ava. The two photos captured by the reporter were of Brandon showing her the wedding suit he had chosen. He had just ordered it, and he had not appreciated it enough...

No one asked him, and no one gave him a chance to explain. The photos spread like crazy, and before he had time to react, he received the news of Crystal's death.

"He wants to go back and marry her...

Why wasn't he the one who died?

"It's my fault, please forgive me, okay?"

He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die.

But she should be satisfied with getting such an apology. "No need, Brandon."

Crystal was a little choked up for no reason.

"Brandon, I don't want to hear these things anymore. Just think that we missed it. But if we miss it, we miss it. There are not so many ifs in this world."

"Wait a moment."

Brandon said, "You don't... like me anymore?"

He was a little unbelievable. Brandon didn't have any advantages in their relationship with Crystal. Yes, he was powerful, he had money, but so what. Crystal doted on him and tolerated him. It's not because he has power or money, it's because he is Brandon, and she, Crystal, likes Brandon, so she tolerates him, takes care of him, and loves him.

But now, Crystal doesn't like him anymore.

No matter how powerful or rich he is, what's the use if he is nothing?

Nick came down from the stands. His posture was very natural and comfortable, as if he was lightly flying down; it was very beautiful. He tugged on Crystal's sleeve and told her to stop talking, as it was cold outside. Let's go back.

Nick suddenly felt a little confused. Could the scene in front of him be regarded as a Shura field? This child has grown up so much. Nick had an impression of Brandon. The first time he saw him was more than ten years ago, and his memory was far away.

Crazy and tired are two completely different emotions. When the two are combined into one, they will appear a little aggrieved. Brandon grabbed Crystal's sleeve and said the name aloud, "Crystal—!"

Brandon burst into tears, "Don't leave..."

"Don't you like me anymore?"

But how could she not like him?

There was just a small misunderstanding between them. This small misunderstanding magnified and led to a tragedy. Now he spoke openly. He confessed to Crystal. He told Crystal that it was actually his words that meant what he said. He loved her, and he has always loved her, and he means reconciliation...

Crystal silently took a step back.
