Spoil My Sweet Window

Chapter 12

Crystal ate a lot of cake. Her stomach was finally full. After eating, Luke took her to the funeral hall. “Madam, I have to go back to report to Master White. Please excuse me.”

Crystal nodded. “Okay, go and do your work. I’ll go in myself.”

There were indeed more people coming to the funeral hall than yesterday. Freda’s face was full of tears as she spoke to the crowd. Crystal didn’t even need to pay attention to her words to know what she was lamenting about.

“Freda,” a short-haired woman walked over from not far away. “Where’s the wife Mrs. White got for Harold? Why isn’t she here?”

The person next to Freda couldn’t wait to speak up. “You mean Dora Evans? She’s a rare beauty in City W. I didn’t expect the Evans family to be willing to…”

Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, the woman smiled servilely, “Freda, that’s not what I meant. No matter how beautiful the daughter of the Evans family is, she can’t compare to the status of the White family. Even if Master White dies, Dora’s marriage isn’t a fair one…”

The short-haired lady snorted. “Dora? Do you think the Evans family is stupid? Dora didn’t marry into the White family. The one who got married to Harold is the Evans’ biological daughter, who has been raised in the countryside.”

The Evans family’s scandal had been spread among the upper class in City W. Back then, after Mrs. Evans gave birth to three sons, she wanted to have another daughter so she went to the countryside to recuperate. She thought that she would go back to give birth to her little daughter in the city when the due day came. Unexpectedly, she had to deliver the baby earlier in the village. The condition in the

countryside was poor. The medical staff was careless enough to bring her the wrong baby from the nursery. The life of the real daughter had undergone great changes since then. Talking about common senses, after knowing the babies’ identities, the Evans family should have swapped them back. Or, they could easily take care both of them. But they were so afraid that Doral couldn’t bear this fact, and that was why they had decided to abandon their blood daughter in the rural village.

If it wasn’t for the sake of fulfilling their engagement with the White family, the Evans family would have probably considered that their blood daughter was already dead.

Freda revealed an awkward smile. “Miss Evans… She’s still sleeping in the room. She’s just joined the White family. She doesn’t know many rules. I don’t blame her… After all, I’m Harold’s aunt. I have to take care of these things.”

The short-haired lady immediately perked up. “A country bumpkin married into the White family and she knows nothing. No wonder why her parents don’t like her.”

“You’re right. I’ve heard that this girl is ordinary-looking, a real bumpkin. She can’t compare with Dora Evans at all.”

These people hadn’t even seen Crystal Evans, but they gathered just to slander her.

Freda timely acted as a moral elder. “Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore. The Evans family will send someone to visit later. It’s not good if they hear this.”

“What’s not good? I can see that the Evans family doesn’t want to take her in at all. She was brought back yesterday, and she didn’t even have a chance to meet her father and brothers. See, it speaks of something fishy.”

Just then, a girl’s gentle voice sounded. “Crystal is a nice, decent girl. Please don’t talk about her like that.”

People stopped talking and looked over. They saw a girl standing gracefully in a white dress with an elegant temperament. She had an oval face with delicate features. She wasn’t stunning, but she had great charisma. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Behind her was a handsome man with a noble temperament.

Although he wore a formal suit, he looked unrestrained with a pair of amorous eyes and a smiling face, which made him especially hunky. His lips were slightly thin, and when he smiled, he could melt little girls’ hearts.

“It’s Miss Evans and Mr. Evans.” Someone recognized them.
