Chapter 543

"What happened?”

It was 7 pm, time for their restaurant to close. Generally, business was the best at night for

restaurants, but their landlady said that she could not let her employees work overtime, so the

staff's work time was almost the same as the white collar workers in offices.

The front door of the restaurant had a closed sign on it. Only a few people were busy in the kitchen,

and they were preparing to close the door and go back to rest as usual.

But just then, the new employee of their restaurant, Crystal from China, was back, and she was

dragged back by an angry man.

“Your boss should ask your employees to deliver food 20 kilometers away just for 20 euros! Is she

crazy?”

Chandler rushed in. After he pushed the door which had a sign of “Close” on it, he barged in. When

he saw the bookkeeper who was busy inside, he became furious and cursed in fluent English.

The elder female bookkeeper was confused for a moment, wanting to ask what was going on.

"Si.

But Chandler was so angry that he lost his mind. He gritted his teeth and warned, “Your employee

went out to deliver food, but she was almost dragged into a house by a few men... Your behavior

violated the employment rules. Let your boss come out to see me immediately, or..."

The bookkeeper's eyes widened. And when she was about to say something, Crystal also became

angry. Crystal fumed, “Chandler, you don't have the right or obligation to mind my business.”

Of course, Chandler knew that she deride him for minding others’ business. During the period of

time, he had been extremely anxious, and now her anger was burning in his heart. “Right or

obligation!? Leaving and coming abroad, are you a good wife! Do you know how I've been living

these days?”

“I don't want to know about your business.” Crystal forced herself to be ruthless, retorting loudly.

Chandler was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had never been so cruel to him before.

They were speaking Chinese, and the rest of the staff in the restaurant came over when they heard

the noise. They couldn’t understand Chinese, but just now, this handsome Asian man threatened

them in English that he was going to sue their restaurant.

"Crystal, what's going on?"

The employees of the restaurant glanced at angry Chandler. Although they did not know this Asian

man, from his clothes, they felt that he looked like a rich man from the upper class. The staff quickly

gathered around Crystal to ask what had happened.

“It's just a misunderstanding,” Crystal said lightly.

“I just went out to deliver the food. The guest wanted to renege on his debt, so I had a dispute with

this him. This gentleman passed by and saw it. He was just helping me out. I don’t know him.”

Crystal looked calm and she emphasized her last sentence, “I don't know him.”

Chandler wasn't angry anymore. He became expressionless.

“Thank you.”

"Sir, thank you for helping our friend. Crystal has just arrived in Paris. She isn't familiar with this

place.”

The staff in the restaurant did not doubt Crystal's explanation and immediately expressed their

gratitude to Chandler. In their country, there would always be many such “righteous” people who

liked to threaten others with litigation, especially the idle rich.

"As I said, this kind of online orde ring is unreliable.”

"Yes, it's all Camille's fault. It's her bad idea.”

The old employees of the restaurant quickly dispersed. After cleaning up, they were ready to close

the door. “Crystal, we have to talk to our boss about this tomorrow.”

“Maybe we can get off work an hour earlier.” They laughed.

Chandler looked at Crystal smiling and talking to these people. They seemed to be very harmonious

with each other. Crystal looked ordinary, but she could quickly integrate into a group.

She always made the people around her feel at ease and comfortable.

That evening, they parted without saying goodbye to each other, as if they were really strangers.

Returning to the hotel suite, Chandler took a quick shower. Having no appetite, he lay on the bed,

staring blankly at the exquisitely decorated ceiling.

"What's Crystal doing now?” He thought.

He really couldn't figure out why she insisted on divorcing him.

He knew that she had been wronged in the Stephenson family and that she would definitely live a

better life after she divorced him. But in fact, she was now renting with three women of unknown

origin and living in a dilapidated dangerous building, the alley of which was stinky. She even found

a hard and thankless job as a dogsbody.

She really would rather suffer alone here than go back to live with him?

"Did I give her too little money in the past?”

Chandler frowned, trying to think about the small details in the past.

“Because she had a miscarriage.” This must be the main reason. He was also very heartbroken to

hear this news, but since it already happened, he accepted it rationally and tried to find a way to

deal with it properly. “We are young and healthy. We can have one later...”

“Is it because of Erica or Geoffrey?”

suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He pressed against his stomach tightly with his right hand. His

stomach ached again.

“I can tell her that the two of us are moving out.” His face was taut as he was overcoming the hurt.

Then Chandler came up with a way to reconcile with her and he felt that the pain in his stomach had

immediately been alleviated.

Crystal would be very happy and would definitely agree to that.

He wanted to tell her that after a while, he had figured it all out. Although he should be responsible

for the Stephenson family, he really hoped that she would give him another chance. He would

change his behavior because he really wanted her to be with him for the rest of his life.

He needed her more than he had imagined. Even though she was not very outstanding, she made

him feel comfortable and relaxed when she kept him company.

Chandler really regretted when he recalled that a week ago, because of illness, depression, and the

pressure from the Stephenson family, he impulsively signed the divorce agreement to give her

freedom.

Chandler looked at the clock on the wall and then at the dark sky outside the window. He looked

forward to it that the day would arrive early. He would then go to her place again and explain it to

her.

At 5: 00 in the morning, Chandler had breakfast because he didn’t want to pass out in front of

Crystal again. Then he put on a new casual striped light blue suit. When the sun rose, Chandler

reached the building where Crystal lived.

Chandler wanted to meet Crystal on the first floor, but he was especially impatient today. After he

looked impatiently at his swiss watches several times, he decided to go upstairs to find Crystal.

The old building was not strictly managed so anyone could enter and leave at any time. When

Chandler stepped on the creaking wooden stairs, his brows furrowed even more.

11:34 AM

“She should live in such a place?!” The environment here was really terrible.

Chandler was a smart man. As he walked the stairs, he came up with a lot of Ideas. For example, he

could tell Crystal that his company gave him a month off, so he could take her to France and Europe

for vacations. He could take her to visit famous attractions, stay at the best hotels, eat the best food,

and buy her diamond jewelry...

All women like these things, so she may be happy about that.

However, in fact, these were just Chandler's wishful thinking.

He knocked on the door. A dark-skinned French woman, who was about 1.7 meters tall and

weighed at least 220 pounds, opened the door. The person in the room called the woman Emma.

“Hello, I'm looking for Crystal,” Chandler said as politely as he could.

The woman looked at Chandler with burning eyes. Before Chandler could answer her question, two

other tall and thin women in the room quickly walked to the door and stopped him. “Who are you?"

"Where are you from? What's your name?” One of the prettier women was especially enthusiastic.

"Hello, my name is Andrea.”

Chandler

“You're looking for Crystal?”

“Ah, I see. He must be the Armani who came last time!" Camille tugged at Emma besides her, saying

excitedly

Andrea's eyes became more eager. She wore the bright smile, and her voice softened. “Sir, please

come in and have a seat. What do you want to drink? Is Blue Mountain Coffee ok ?”

“No, I'm looking for Crystal...”

Seeing that he didn't pay much attention to her, Andrea looked a little disappointed and asked him

nervously, “What's your relationship?”

“We are just friends.”

Crystal came out of the room, afraid that Chandler would say something like “Ex-husband and ex-

wife,” so she took the initiative, eager to get rid of him.

Crystal strode over and asked in Ch

He didn't expect that Crystal would show a disgusted expression and tone to him, so he didn’t know

how to answer her.

Compared to Chandler's silence, when Andrea heard the words “just friends,” she immediately burst

into a bright smile. She held Crystal's hand affectionately and asked her in a shy and excited voice.

"Crystal, can you ask him if he has a girlfriend... Introduce him to me! He is my type.”

Not only Crystal but also Chandler outside the house could hear these words clearly.

He remained silent and raised his eyebrows to watch closely Crystal's expression. He thought she

would be jealous.

“Mr. Stephenson might be single for the time being. He has a cute boy and a good family

background, He comes from a scholarly family with his parents being university professors ...”

Crystal told Andrea everything about Chandler in a very calm tone. Andrea listened carefully. It

seemed that she wanted to memorize his background.

“Enough!”

Her calmness broke all Chandler's fantasies. He glared fiercely at Chandler in front of him, who was

both familiar and strange to him.

"Crystal, I don't need you to try so hard to find me a girlfriend... I've divorced twice because I was

abandoned by you women!”
