Krystal blinked several times. Her heart was in turmoil.
Yale slowly leaned over. She thought he wanted to kiss her. Her pupils were quivering.
But he only hugged her. She could feel the warmth emanating from his body. He made her feel warm and shielded her from the snow.
"This way, you won't feel cold."
Krystal didn't know how she used to feel about Yale, but at that moment, she could feel herself falling for him.
She hugged Yale back for the first time and buried her face in his embrace. She could hear his heart beating, and it made her feel safe.
For the longest time, she had been chasing after Ethan. She was tired of it.
As she started to let go of her feelings for Ethan and tried to accept another person, Krystal felt like a weight had been lifted from her chest.
So, it wasn't that hard to accept another person.
Yale stayed that night. There wasn't any alcohol or drugs. Everything happened naturally.
This time, Krystal didn't call out Ethan's name. She was looking at Yale the whole time.
"Yale, will you really treat me well?"
Yale wrapped his arm around her waist. He whispered, "It took me so much effort to pursue you. Why would I ever mistreat you?"
Krystal was moved. She wanted to lean in and kiss him.
Yale moved away and got up. "It's getting late. I have a lot of work today. I have to get up."
This was the first time Krystal had ever felt like this. She wanted to cuddle with him for a little while more.
"Why are you so busy? Should I tell my father to lessen your workload? That way, you'll be able to stay with me more."
Yale chuckled as he tapped her nose lightly.
"If I don't work, I won't be able to provide for you. I don't want others to say I only achieved success because of the Heath Family.
Yale sat down and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"There are two reasons. Firstly, I'm getting old. I want a child of my own. I would be delighted if you could give birth to my baby."
"What about the other reason?"
"Think about it. Mr. Heath is outraged because of that incident with Olivia. He even chased you out. He's still very angry now.
"If he finds out that you're pregnant, would he still allow you to be out here on your own?"
Krystal fell into deep thought. She knew that Mason preferred Ethan to be his son-in-law.
He didn't want her to be with Yale. The three-month deadline was just an excuse.
If he found out that she had accepted Yale, wouldn't he be even more angry? Much less getting pregnant with his child.
Yale noticed her reluctance. He looked at her tenderly. "What's wrong, Krystal? Don't you want to bear my child?"
