Chapter 5

The small western-style building in Crescent Haven was the wedding room of Kristie and Harvey. After marriage, they had always lived alone and did not live in the old house of the Stokes Family.

After days of running around and emotional ups and downs, Kristie was exhausted both physically and mentally. She had not slept well for several days and that day she stayed in bed for a rare time.

However, she was just sleeping when she was woken up by a loud noise.

Susan led her men directly into the villa and pushed open Kristie's door without any reason.

“Move in quickly and be careful. This bed was specially made for me by Harvey. If you bump into it, you will have to pay for it!”

Kristie frowned slightly, sat up with the quilt and the shoulder straps of her silk nightgown slipped down slightly, revealing her fair and round shoulders.

“Oh, Sister, you have not woken up yet. I'm so sorry! What are you looking at? Close your eyes and turn your back.”

Susan did it on purpose. Seeing Kristie's look, she scolded the workers but deliberately stepped aside to embarrass Kristie.

The five workers behind stared at Kristie.

Kristie sneered, picked up the nightgown beside her and put it on, went down barefoot, walked in front of Susan and slapped her without saying a word.

The movements were crisp and clear, while the sound of the slap was clear and pleasant.

Susan was stunned as he yelled, “You dare to hit me?! Harvey will not let you go.”

Kristie was not afraid at all. She glanced at the big bed blocking the door and asked coldly, “Did Harvey ask you to bring it here?”

“Yes, Harvey said that my baby and I need to get a good night's sleep. He made this bed specifically for us.”

Susan was very proud. She came here that day just to assert her sovereignty.

“Sister, the master bedroom has the best location and lighting. Do you mind giving up your room? After all, the eldest grandson of the Stokes Family in my belly is more important than anything else. What do you think?”

Kristie followed Susan's gaze and looked at her bulging belly. It was really a case of a villain succeeding.

With a slight smile on her lips, Kristie walked straight past Susan and went to the door of the room. The corridor outside was filled with bed frames, mattresses, bedside tables and a lazy sofa.

Standing at the railing and looking down, the hall was already full of things.

Susan was really preparing to move in.

Kristie smiled contemptuously, picked the one that saved the most effort and pushed the mattress against the railing. The mattress fell from the second floor and hit the crystal ornaments below.

With a series of ‘crackling’ sounds, the glass shattered all over the floor.

Everyone was stunned.

Kristie turned around and smiled at Susan as she explained, “This place is not suitable for you to raise your baby. Harvey will understand. Also, I, Kristie Swan, am an orphan and have no brothers or sisters. Miss Carey, please call me with my name directly. The most important thing is…."

Kristie paused and her eyes fell on Susan's lower abdomen. “You'd better hope that you give birth to a son in a month. After all, the old man has said that the shares will only be left to the eldest grandson.”

Susan was so angry that her face turned red and her index finger pointing at Kristie was trembling.

She originally thought that Kristie was a soft person, an orphan with a dull personality and she was just at the mercy of her, but she did not expect that this was not the case.

“Kristie, Harvey will never let you go!”

Susan picked up the phone and was about to call Harvey to complain.

“It's too much trouble to call, you can just complain to him directly,” Kristie interrupted and looked down at the gate. 

Harvey was just entering the house from the courtyard corridor and was shocked to see the mess in the hall. “What's going on?”

Harvey raised his head and looked towards the second floor. His eyes were cold but with a hint of rage. After looking around, his eyes fixed on Kristie.

Kristie was wearing pajamas and robe, with long hair draped over her shoulders and her eyes were lazy and charming.

There was a flash of surprise in Harvey's eyes, but soon he frowned and turned to look at the workers as if he wanted to kill them.

How could she let other men see Kristie like this?!

“What a shame. Change your clothes!”

Hearing this, Kristie just found it funny. Harvey was really schizophrenic. Even at that time, he was still concerned about whether her clothes were appropriate.

“Harvey!”

When Susan saw Harvey, she wanted to fly downstairs like a butterfly. Kristie was worried for her when she saw this.

Harvey's expression changed as well and he ran upstairs with big strides.

“Susan, slow down, be careful of the baby in your belly.”

As he said this, before Susan went down the stairs, he pulled her into his arms and took care of her with care.

The scene was so disgusting and annoying at the same time, making her eyes sore and her heart aching.

Susan hugged Harvey, gave Kristie a provocative look and then sobbed and accused, “Mrs. Stokes seems to dislike me very much. Not only did she smash the new bed, she also broke the blue crystal you gave me. Harvey, she also threatened our child badly, saying…."

Susan deliberately left the following words blank.

Harvey's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Kristie and were full of hostility.

“Harvey, I was the one who threw the mattress away and I was the one who smashed the things underneath. You should know the reasons. As for the others…."

Kristie had a clear conscience and her eyes fell on the two of them indifferently, “I, Kristie, disdain it.”

After saying that, she turned back to her room and locked the door from the inside.

Harvey's handsome eyebrows were twisted, he had no idea what Susan had done that day.

“Susan, what's going on?” he asked in the end.

“Harvey, you were the one who told me to take good care of the baby. I just want to live here, closer to you.”

***

Inside the room, Kristie leaned against the door, listening quietly to the conversation between the two.

The woman acted coquettishly while the man coaxed her softly.

It seemed that the outcome of this matter was not important and it did not matter whether Harvey knew about it in advance.

Since the ending was already decided, Kristie did not want to dwell on the process anymore, but her heart still ached when she saw how much Harvey cherished Susan and the baby in her belly.

Kristie laughed at herself and went to change her clothes.

That month, she had to settle the company's affairs. Stokes Group was her hard work and she could not abandon it just because of her and Harvey's emotional problems.

Kristie changed her clothes and put on some light makeup. When she opened the door, she did not expect that Harvey was waiting for her outside.

“Tonight, the old house is holding a banquet, you and I will attend together.”
