Chapter 981 “Crystal?” Serena paused in her conversation, looking at Crystal Temple with a sweet smile in her eyes, "Are you here for Clark? He won't be coming hfor a while." “know, your mom said he’s busy with work." "Well, he's been staying at his own place recently. | think it's probably the Mystic Oak House. How about we go visit him together one day?” Serena proposed.
Having her as a sister to accompany Crystal to visit Clark would make Crystal's intentions less obvious.
Crystal smiled, feeling Serena's warmth, saying, "Sure, thank you." "You're too polite, Crystal." They chatted for a while longer before Crystal went home. As soon as she entered her room, she couldn't wait to try on the new clothes and made sure to pose in front of the mirror, making cute and playful faces while recording videos for Louisa.

After sending them, she saw how pretty she looked in the videos and forwarded them to Clark.
Hearing his phone ring nine times, Clark took it out to see videos from Crystal.
He was puzzled, but upon opening one of them, he saw Crystal wearing a cute puffy dress, making adorable faces in the mirror.
Since the video volwas on speaker, everyone heard Crystal saying, "Oh my gosh, this dress is so cute! You have such good taste. It's so vibrant when | put it on, and | love it. Thank you! This dress must've been expensive" Clark didn’t understand why Crystal would randomly make such videos and say such things in them. He felt Dennis’ questioning gaze and quickly sent him a few question marks.
Soon, Crystal replied, [Clark, do | look good in these clothes?] Her voice was sweet and full of laughter, which further infuriated Dennis.
Carol, on the other hand, didn't show much emotion.
Clark, getting anxious, couldn't help but send a voice message asking, “What's with these clothes? People might think | bought them. Why are you sending these to me?" Crystal laughed again, [Aunt boughtall these beautiful clothes. I'm happy, so | wanted to show you. Aunt is so thoughtful, and she treatslike her own daughter.] Dennis, hearing this, was about to explode.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[My mom bought you clothes?? Why don't you show them to my mom then? Why are you showing them to me?] Clark was a little frustrated.
Crystal didn't know what had upset him and quickly made a voice call.
Clark didn't want to answer at first, but he thought it was necessary to clarify sthings, so he answered and put it on speaker.
"Clark" Crystal's sweet voice cfrom the other end, "I was just sharing Aunt's kindness with you. Why are you upset? Did | interrupt your work? Or do you not like these clothes?" It seemed like she was a very considerate, gentle, and caring person who cared a lot about Clark's feelings.
Carol's gaze deepened. She realized that in the year she and Clark had been dating, she had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone. It was always he who took the initiative to care.
"Crystal, | have something to tell you." Clark began, glancing at Dennis and Carol. He said seriously, "We can only be friends. I'm sorry." Crystal's laughter froze.
