Chapter 905
The owner of the courtyard must have been paying his respects to the Buddha all this while. The
sandalwood didn''t disperse all year round, which was why there was such a smell lingering in the
empty courtyard.
With a creak, the maid pushed open the door of the Buddha Hall. She stood at the door and said to
Crystal, "Miss Evans, pleasee in."
As soon as Crystal stepped into the door, the door was closed from the outside.
She raised her head and saw the merciful eyes of the Buddha.

In the traditional culture of Buddhism, the guardian of the past was the ancient Randeng Buddha, the
guardian of the future one was the Maitreya Buddha, and the guardian of the present was the Buddha
of the present age.
Next to the Buddha statue was a spirit tablet. The words "Leni" on it were much older than the other
words. It was obvious that someone was often rubbing it.
Antonio knelt on the futon, his fingers fiddling with the prayer beads. He did not open his eyes when he
heard the sound of Crystal entering. He merely said ndly, "Give Leni''s memorial tablet an incense
stick."
Crystal did not understand his intentions, but Leni was Harold''s birth mother. It was only appropriate
for her to light incense for Harold''s mother. Therefore, she took the incense, lit it, solemnly kowtowed
three times, and ced the incense in the censer.
Antonio finally stood up. He looked Crystal up and down for a moment and said, "You seem to have
lost a lot of weightpared to thest time I saw you."
"Is Harold not treating you well?"
Crystal didn''t know if he really didn''t know, or if he deliberately asked this question. Her cheeks bulged,
but he didn''t answer.
Antonio said, "The child should be two months old?"
Crystal nodded.
Antonio frowned and didn''t know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said, "I heard that you
have been locked up in Flower Land. It''s ridiculous. If you want to, you can live in the White family. I
won''t interfere with your freedom. You can go anywhere you want."
The temptation of his words was too great. Antonio was waiting for Crystal''s answer. He was sure that
Crystal would agree.
But what surprised him was that Crystal shook her head gently.
"Why?" Antonio was really puzzled. "Are you willing to be locked up by him? He''s restricting your
freedom. You can even call the police."
Crystal clenched her fists. After a long while, she said, "I want to stay in Flower Land."
If she had agreed to Antonio''s proposal, she might not have been able to see Harold even after the
child had been born.
Moreover, the father-and-son rtionship between Antonio and Harold was like not good. Crystal did
not want to stand on the side of Harold''s enemy.
Antonio sighed softly and said, "You''re really... stubborn. You''re very simr to Chloe, but... she''s not as
popr as you."
He rubbed Crystal''s hair like a loving elder and said, "You really don''t want to think about it? It''s not a
good choice for you to stay with him."
However, Crystal felt as if she had been entangled by an ice-cold snake, causing goosebumps on her
back. However, she bit the corner of her lips and did not show any sign of fear or disgust. Instead, she
spoke slowly in the words of a hatchet man, "Thank you for your kindness."
Antonioughed. He seemed to find it interesting. Just as he was about to say something, the door of
the Buddha Hall was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
Harold unbuttoned two of the buttons on his cor, revealing his thin corbone. His eyes were colder
than the night inte November. "So you''re here."
He strode over, grabbed Crystal''s wrist, pulled her behind him, stared into her eyes, and asked, "What
did you say to him?"
Crystal quickly shook his head. Harold pinched her lower jaw and said word by word, "You''d better not
say anything."
