the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 981: He Doesn’t Want His Marriage to Be a Loveless U

"Okay, I’ll definitely co." Crystal Landon nodded, she was certainly not at ease with Pearl Landon being with Richard Shaw.

Pearl Landon stood outside the Shaw Mansion, watching as Crystal Landon pulled Richard Shaw inside, she stomped her foot in frustration, and only returned after she couldn’t see them.

"Are you going to the charity event?" After dinner, Crystal Landon, having no classes the next day, sat in the living room chatting with the elderly lady.

Richard Shaw liked tea ceremonies. Seeing the elderly lady was happy today, he personally brewed tea on the side.

"Crystal is still young. It won’t do to go to the charity event without items. Grandma will find sothing for you." The elderly lady said as she headed to open her private vault.

Crystal Landon hurriedly pulled her back, smiling: "Grandma, these so-called charity events, if even a tenth of the funds are used for charity, that would be good enough. Only a fool would auction treasures, not to ntion the priceless items in your collection—it won’t sell. It won’t sell. I have my ways."

The elderly lady was amused by her cheeky words and laughed: "Crystal knows so much. She’s even saving for now. All those things will be left for you in the future, won’t they?"

Upon hearing this, Richard Shaw frowned slightly. He continued the tea ceremony, pushing a cup towards the elderly lady, then another towards Crystal. Her character was too spirited and might not be capable of handling the Shaw family’s affairs. Besides, a young girl who fancies him now might fancy soone else later, and a military marriage isn’t one you can easily dissolve.

Anyway, Crystal wasn’t a good choice. And he didn’t want his marriage to be without love.

Crystal felt a jolt at the elderly lady’s candid and fervent words. Even her own parents had never spoken to her like this.

"Grandma, you’re rambling again." Crystal felt warm inside, but jokingly covered up, laughing, "You don’t know, the socialites of the Imperial City adore my brother. If I casually take sothing from his collection and say he used it, they’d surely pay for it themselves."

"You little rascal. So full of ideas." The elderly lady laughed, poking her little head, finding joy in every aspect.

The elderly lady had sharp eyes. This child was perceptive, with a free-spirited character, yet smart and kind—a perfect complent to her grandson’s nature.

This kid Richard Shaw, his parents passed away early, burdening him with all of the Shaw Family’s affairs, maturing quickly. The elderly lady felt guilty for her grandson.

The next day, Crystal Landon playfully pulled the elderly lady to have a deep blue corduroy cheongsam and another elegant brocade cheongsam tailored.

The elderly lady couldn’t stop smiling from joy, never expecting to be trendy at her age, feeling youthful again.

The elderly lady thought she should also make so beautiful clothes and discuss marriage matters with the Landon Family.

Sunday was Pearl Landon’s charity event. Crystal naturally wouldn’t take out anything from her own jewelry box. They were all the treasures given by the elderly lady.

After pondering, she knocked on Richard Shaw’s door after dinner. Richard just finished showering and was in a vest and shorts. His gaze sharp, his entire being exuding masculine strength. Upon noticing her, he raised an eyebrow and asked deeply, "What’s up?"

Crystal Landon looked at the muscles on his arms, freshly showered, hair not dried, water drops rolling down along the contours of his muscles, unusually sexy.

Richard Shaw’s muscles weren’t exaggerated like those of a bodybuilder, but were full of strength, solid and powerful. Crystal instantly exclaid, "Wow!"
