“I’m heading downstairs,” she muttered.

Henry stared at her silently and only uttered h oar sely after some time, “I’m sorry, Crystal.”
He watched as she practically scurried away before lowering his head and lighting a cigarette.
Twenty minutes later, a pleasant aroma wafted from the kitchen, which Henry immediately recognized as Crystal’s cooking.
He stubbed out his cigarette and headed to the dining room.
After serving him some spaghetti, Crystal tried to leave but he sat down and grabbed her hand. “Stay with me.”
She shook her head and said firmly, “Henry, if you weren’t injured, I wouldn’t even be here!”
Crystal was very calm. Perhaps she felt numb after crying many times at night. Facing him did not hurt as much.
Henry’s eyes turned gloomy but he respected her wishes. Not in the mood to enjoy his food without her company, he finished it quickly.
Crystal pointed at the couch after fetching a blanket from the guest room. “I’ll sleep here tonight.”
Henry’s gaze darkened. “Sleep in the master bedroom. It’s not as if we’ve never slept together before. Besides, I’m not going to do anything!”
Crystal was not so naive as to believe him.
Henry has strong sexual cravings and will undoubtedly become aroused once we get into bed together Besides… it’s over between us, so there’s no need for any more ambiguity.
“It’s better to keep things clear,” she refused flatly.
Exhausted from drinking and forcing herself to sober up, she curled up in the blanket on the couch and promptly fell asleep.
Henry gulped as he watched her sleep. He entered his bedroom and grabbed his quilt, which he
threw over her.
Without waking up, Crystal tugged the quilt and curled into it, making herself look especially thin
Henry’s heart ached when he thought about all the alcohol she had consumed that night.

Does being with me cause her so much suffering that she’d rather drink with a stranger to gamble on a chance that might not work out?
Henry went into his study and made a call.
The person who answered it was Emelia.
Her tone was polite yet distant at the same time. “Mr. Miller, do you need something at this late hour?”
Henry’s voice sounded particularly chilly in the night. “Miss Long, is your music center still short of students?”
“Yes! Of course!”
Emelia snickered inwardly. What we’re lacking the most are foolish rich folks!
“I’ll recommend a student over tomorrow. Get Miss Winters to teach her, Henry said calmly.
Emelia was dumbfounded.
“Your child, Mr. Miller?” she deliberately asked.
Henry chuckled nonchalantly. “Have you ever seen Crystal’s belly get bigger, Miss Long? She’s just a relative.”
Emelia could not help but grumble inwardly. This man is utterly shameless. He appears so refined in the newspapers and magazines that no one can tell that he’s actually rather promiscuous. No matter what, it’s always good to have money in the bank.
She then probed about Crystal, to which Henry answered ambiguously, “Crystal was so tired that she fell asleep.”
The next morning, Henry was already up when Crystal woke up.
His wound seemed to be healing well. He was sitting in the dining room drinking coffee while reading the newspaper.
Dressed in a dark grey shirt with a thin dark tie, he looked handsome as always.
Crystal was a life stunned.
As Henry’s gaze fell on her, he said softly, “You’re missing a button.”
She lowered her gaze to her light-colored shirt and discovered that the third button was missing.
Because she was sitting, both sides of her top naturally parted, revealing a portion of her chest.
Crystal hastily bunched up her shirt. She searched the couch for a long time but could not find the button.
“Go and get changed in the walk-in closet. Your clothes are still there,” Henry said flatly.
Crystal remained silent.
He bought those expensive clothes for me when he was pampering me, and they amount to tens of thousands. Now that we’ve split up, I have no reason to accept them again. Just like the piano, Morning Dew, no matter how much I like it, I have no interest in playing it again.
She simply requested to use the guest room.
Having lived there before, she knew where the sewing kit was, so she moved the button at the collar lower to cover her chest.
Crystal did not freshen up there. She merely wiped her face.
After leaving the room, she looked at Henry and said. “You seem fine, Mr. Miller. I’ll head back
now.”
Henry placed the newspaper down and regarded her silently.
“Have your breakfast before you go. It was delivered from the Miller residence early this morning.”
Crystal smiled faintly and replied, “That’s not appropriate.”
She sounded distant and polite. Henry could tell she was trying to draw a line with him. He did not know how others won back their lovers, but he had a feeling that she was more difficult than ordinary girls.
He gazed at her and went into deep thought.
The atmosphere became a little tense. Crystal gave him a slight bow and said, “Thank you for continuing to help my dad with the lawsuit, Mr. Miller. I’m very grateful to you.”
Henry felt extremely uncomfortable.
Crystal treated him like an ordinary citizen treating a prominent person even though they had had the best experience together in that condominium. Be it physically or in terms of lifestyle, they were very compatible with each other.
He was slightly annoyed.
He picked up the newspaper with his slender fingers and said indifferently. “Do as you like!”
Crystal ran as fast she could.
After taking a cab back to her condominium, she took a shower and changed her clothes.

She even had her breakfast in the car.
When she arrived at the music center, she found Emelia looking apologetic. “I truly can’t afford to offend that imposing man last night.”
Crystal did not blame her. She merely stated softly. “I had to make things clear.”
Emelia showed her the contract signed by Zayne and said with admiration, “Crystal, last night was amazing. Mr. Zadriel is well-known for being difficult to deal with, but him over almost immediately.”
Crystal smiled faintly.
what you did
you won
She was well aware that Henry’s appearance last night was an opportunity, which scored her the chance.
Not wanting to bring up Henry, she made no reply.
Emelia then told her another big news. “That Hades of the legal profession called me last night, saying that he’s sending a young relative over to learn the piano, and he requested you to be her teacher. Crystal, have you ever heard of the Miller family having young relatives? Or are they simply Henry’s illegitimate child, and he’s just covering it up.”
Crystal pondered for a moment.
It’s not strange for the relatives of the Miller family to have young children, but there shouldn’t be many that Henry would make an exception to take care of
She could not come up with an answer.
Emelia waved her hand nonchalantly. “We’ll find out when the child comes. As she spoke, she suddenly recalled Henry’s suggestive words and asked curiously, “Crystal, did you guys… do the deed last night?”
Crystal, who was drinking water at that moment, spat out the entire mouthful.
She glared at Emelia with watery eyes filled with frustration and embarrassment.
Emelia merely shrugged. “He said on the phone that you fell asleep from exhaustion, so of course
I overthought! Besides… Henry seemed unsatisfied last night!”
Crystal wiped her clothes before saying softly, “No! He suffered a minor injury, and I just bandaged him up! It’s over between us. It’s not going to happen again.”
Emelia thought it was a shame.
With Mr. Miller’s physique, looks, and the sexual tension in his eyes, who wouldn’t be interested in him?
Just as she was imagining that, the landline phone rang.
