MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chapter 1652 - 170: Plan Buying A Morning After Pill



Once the bodyguards were gone, Crystal changed her clothes, and then she was ready to go out and buy some emergency birth control. When Nathan initially mentioned having a baby, she'd gotten a bad case of baby fever, but it hadn't lasted long. She wasn't ready to get pregnant and have a baby, and she knew it. And everything she had said to Helen and her nanny had been nothing but a ruse to get Elma riled up.

As Crystal left the house, Vic followed her. She frowned as she turned to face him. "I think you are tailing the wrong person," she said. 

Vic: "Nope. Mr. Davis asked me to follow you for a while."

Crystal: "You don't have to follow me. I will give you the day off today. Why not? It is such a nice day. You should be out enjoying it!"

The sun was bright and hot, and Crystal put on her sunglasses, not just to protect her eyes but also to make her a little less identifiable when she bought the Morning After Pill.

Vic: "Thank you. You are too kind, and I wish I could accept your generous offer, but I must follow Mr. Davis's orders. You know how he is about things like that, so I am sure that you understand…."

Crystal didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Somehow, Nathan had guessed her intentions and sent Vic to make sure that she could not terminate her pregnancy - If, in fact, she was pregnant.

Crystal nodded helplessly and followed Vic to the car. She did understand why Vic couldn't accept her offer, but that knowledge did not make her situation any more comfortable.

Once they were both inside the car, Vic asked her where she wanted to go, and she said, "Take me to the hospital."

Vic: "Mr. Davis said that you could not go to the hospital."

Crystal: "So I can't visit my father?"

Vic: "If you want to see your father, you may FaceTime with him."

Crystal: "Take me to the drugstore. I'm going to buy a box of painkillers."

Vic: "Are you going to buy medicine for Mr. Davis? Everything you need, you already have!"

Crystal: "Why would Mr. Davis need medicine? What's the matter with him?"

Vic: "He had a headache this morning, but he's all right now. Mr. Davis is not happy, though, so I hope you will do as you're told."

"Fine, then," Crystal said. "We don't have to go to the hospital or the drugstore." On the outside, she looked calm and collected, but she was breaking down on the inside. She was desperate to get her hands on the Morning After Pill. Not knowing what else to do, she pulled out her phone and texted Leslie.

A few minutes passed, and then, finally, her friend's reply appeared. It said, "Wait for me at the cafe next to the villa in the military region."

Leslie had short hair, and she was dressed like a punk. She was wearing Doc Martin boots, ripped blue jeans, and a Nirvana tank top. She was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by little girls. Each of these lesbians wanted a piece of her, and if all they could get were a selfie with her, they would happily take whatever they could get.

Leslie took out a cigarette, took a puff, and blew a ring of smoke into one of the girl's faces. She laughed and said, "I am not available today. Get out of here." The girls reluctantly left, and they crossed paths with Crystal as she came into the café- and when they saw Leslie call her over to her table, their faces turned red from bitter anger.

Leslie took a look at Vic, who had walked in behind Crystal, and swallowed the words she had wanted to say. Now she knew why Crystal had asked her to buy the medicine for her. It must be hard to get anything done with the Gestapo on your back 24/7 - thought Leslie.

"Will you buy me a cup of coffee?" Crystal asked as she sat down and took off her sunglasses.

"Have mine," Leslie said as she pushed her cup across the table. "I've only taken a sip." Crystal drank the coffee, chatted for a while with Leslie, and then she left.

Once Crystal was gone, Leslie went outside to talk to Hugo, who had been waiting for her. Hugo saw Leslie and whistled. "Did you finally get a hold of Arnold?" he asked. 

Leslie sighed and said, "The medicine isn't for me. It's for Crystal."

Hugo frowned. "Are you talking about Crystal?" he asked. "The girl with Nathan? The Bush girl's rival?"

Leslie: "I didn't expect you to know about that...."

Hugo noticed that Leslie still had the medicine in her hand, and he asked why Crystal hadn't taken it with her.

Leslie shrugged and said, "You seem so in charge, dude. Do you think Nathan would shoot me if I gave it to her? After all, since there is already one pregnancy, it wouldn't hurt to have one more. Moreover, Nathan wants to have a baby..."

Hugo shook his head and stretched out his hand to twist her earlobe. Then he said," You've always loved stirring up trouble."

Leslie: "Come on. I am helping her. Having a baby would be an extra bargaining chip for her. Anyway... In the end, it is God who decides who gets pregnant and who does not."

Hugo: "You drive me crazy! I can never win an argument with you."

"Whatever, dude," said Leslie as she climbed into Hugo's car.

Hugo: "Hey, don't make a mess in my car, okay. I want you to wash it if it gets dirty."

"Shall I wash you, too?" Leslie flirted with him.

Hugo sighed and said, "Let's just get you to school, okay."

As Serenity got out of the car, she pretended to be surprised when she saw Crystal. "I wasn't expecting to see you here," she said.

Crystal greeted her on the steps, and then she glanced behind her to where Vic was standing. "I am so embarrassed to have him following me around," she whispered. "It is ridiculous. He is enjoying the wonderful life of a man with two wives, even though he has a child."

Serenity looked at Crystal's belly and said, "No way! Why didn't you tell me the good news sooner?"

Crystal lightly punched her friend on the shoulder and said, "Not me, silly! I'm not pregnant. Eric's sister is, though. She used artificial insemination, and she has Professor Davis's child!"

Serenity: "Damn it! Really? Sounds like #FakeNews to me."

Crystal: "Believe it or not, it is the absolute truth.. Anyway, I am moving to the manor this summer, so try not to miss me too much."
