Chapter 48 Calling Crystal Right in Front of Robert +5 Bonus The pair took a nap in Melora's bedroom . The noise of the car engine downstairs woke Robert . It must be Henry . He gently cast Melora's arm away and slid out of the bed . Walking over to the balcony , he looked down . It really is him . It was a hot afternoon . Henry had removed his suit jacket , showcasing his dark blue button - up and trousers . He was speaking to his phone right beneath where Robert stood . " Yes , I'm at the Miller Residence . I'll pick you up at 5.00PM . You should get your things ready ." Robert's body tensed as he eavesdropped on their conversation . He had a feeling that Crystal was on the other end of the line .
