Chapter 166 You Are The Only Man I Love
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Crystal received the most exquisite display of fireworks.
Henry set off a lot of fireworks in the courtyard of the Miller residence.
Melora circled him with a sparkler in hand, looking beautiful and bubbly. Henry likewise wore a smile on his handsome face, making one’s heart skip a beat.
Soon, the clock struck midnight.
Crystal received a phone call from him, in which he greeted, “Happy New Year, Crystal.”
She leaned against the window, gazing out at the dark night with warmth brimming within her.
“Happy New Year to you, too!”
Thereafter, they did not hang up the phone but chatted occasionally.
Crystal could hear the voices from the man’s side.
She could even hear Robert speaking, but Henry occupied her entire body and mind right then, so there was no space for anyone else.
When she fell asleep at two o’clock in the morning, she did so accompanied by Henry’s voice.
As she was all groggy, she mused inwardly.
This will be a good year!
A few days later, Henry came over to pick Crystal up.
Naturally, John and Anna allowed it.
After getting into the car, Crystal shrugged off her jacket. “Where are we going?”
With a hand on the steering wheel, Henry turned to her.
Since it was technically still Christmas, she was wearing a red wool dress. It rendered her bare skin snow- white and incredibly alluring.
His voice turned a touch hoarse. “You look beautiful!”
At that compliment, Crystal could not help blushing.
Taking her hand gently, Henry said nothing further. He merely drove his Bentley Continental toward his
condominium.
As soon as they arrived at the condominium, Crystal looked for Snowy.
Henry hugged her from the back. “It’s at the Miller residence. You can see it tomorrow.”
He was burning so hotly that Crystal could not quite stand the heat.
Deep within, she had a vague idea of his desire. However, her reservedness as a woman did not allow her to be intimate with him so quickly. It went without saying that Henry saw right through her.

Hugging her, he coaxed her tenderly and murmured a lot of sweet nothings.
Crystal felt that no woman would be able to resist it, so she eventually caved in.
Following their reconciliation this time, their coupling felt even better than it did previously..
In the past, he had always been worried about her inexperience. But this time, things were somewhat different. He no longer had any qualms about using immodest and titillating techniques on her.
Crystal had been intimate with him multiple times, and she gradually surmised that he liked things a bit rough.
If a woman loved a man, she would indulge him in bed.
Their bout of passion that night overturned everything she had ever imagined.
Her whole world was filled with Henry’s handsome countenance, and his passionate voice echoed in her
cars.
Their passions burned hotly for the entire night.
Early in the morning, Crystal slowly opened her eyes.
She was greeted by Henry’s magnified striking face right before her.
He had indulged his desires for the whole night, yet he was still as handsome and energetic without a trace of weariness.
The sight of him reminded her of the events last night. Any scene was sufficient to make her flush bright red.
“Morning Dew!” Henry greeted intimately, planting a kiss on her.
Then, he continued, “It’s time to wake up, my Little Morning Dew!”
Crystal could not resist wrapping her arms around him and kissing him fervently.
Pressing his lips against hers, Henry mumbled, “I really want to take you, but we’ll be late if we tarry any longer. Let’s go and buy some gifts together, okay?”
Crystal’s eyes sparkled like diamonds.
It was a look that was only present in the gaze of a woman in love.
Henry kissed her eyes. After pondering for a moment, he instructed, “Go and change. Robert will be there as well. You’re not allowed to wear that dress.”
In truth, women loved it when men were openly jealous because of them.
Pecking him on the lips, Crystal confessed her love to him for the very first time.
“You’re the only man I love right now, Henry.”
Henry stared at her. A while later, he abruptly chuckled and slipped his hand under the covers.
“Let me check whether you’re lying.”

Being teased by the man, Crystal inexorably lifted her body.
“Didn’t you say we’re going to buy some gifts together?” she implored.
Henry stopped but continued gazing at her intently through narrowed eyes as though he wanted to sec through her clothes.
His scrutiny had Crystal go weak at the knees.
She took the initiative to kiss him before purring, “We’ll continue this when we come back at night.”
Laughing softly, Henry withdrew his hand, his salacious look making Crystal avert her eyes.
When she went to the dressing room to choose an outfit, her feelings were wholly different compared to before.
In the past, she was a tad averse to those expensive jewelry and clothing, feeling that it made her seem like Henry’s mistress. But now that their relationship had changed, she found it sweet when she picked an outfit.
Keeping within the confines of appropriacy, she chose a light purple wool dress and a pair of pearl earrings.
By the time she stepped out after washing up, Henry was already waiting for her.
“We’ll go out for breakfast.
She wore no makeup, her face tinged with a faint hint of crimson. Henry loved her natural look.
He then drove off with her.
It was right after the New Year celebrations at the moment, so there were few people at the shopping mall.
Crystal chose an LV scarf for Julia, a limited-edition handbag for Melora, and an expensive diamond- encrusted pen for David.
When it was time to foot the bill, Henry wanted to pay with his card.
However, Crystal objected in a low voice, “I’ll pay instead. It isn’t appropriate for you to pay for these.”
Henry pinned his gaze on her. A teasing smirk slowly curved his lips.
Uneasiness swamped Crystal, and her face heated slightly.
The sense of discomfiture lingered within her all the way to the Miller residence
After bringing the car to a stop, Henry turned to her and pinched her cheek lightly. “It’s not embarrassing to buy gifts for your future parents-in-law and sister-in-law, Crystal. How could you be so shy? Who was the one who kept riding me, refusing to get down last night?”
Just when Crystal was about to blow up at him, the car door swung open.
Melora leaned close with Snowy in her arms, very much enthusiastic. “You’re here, Crystal!”
Thus, Crystal had no choice but to let Henry off the hook.

Alighting from the car, she handed the gift to Melora. “This is for you.”
Before Melora had taken a look at it, she shrieked, “How did you know that I like this?”
Seeing that, Henry burst out laughing.
Verily, she’s hopeless!
Subsequently, he led Crystal into the house to meet David and Julia. The instant they stepped into the living room, they were greeted by the sight of Robert on the couch.
With that, the couple who once dated met again.
The look in Robert’s eyes was unfathomable.
Crystal had given thought to the fact that she would never be able to be rid of Robert if she were to get together with Henry. But then, she loved the latter. Besides, she felt that Robert was a distant past of hers.
Furthermore, they never had a physical relationship.
Henry went upstairs to seek David out while Melora played with the puppy in the courtyard. Hence, Robert and Crystal were the only ones left in the living room.
A contemptuous smirk bloomed on Robert’s face.
“You’ve made up your mind to marry Henry?”
“Can we please be civil, Robert?” Crystal asked coldly.
“No!” Narrowing his eyes, Robert added, “Do you think I can stand seeing the two of you putting on a public display of affection daily?”
Despite having braced herself for that answer, Crystal was inexorably saddened.
“Actually, Robert, the four years we spent together were nothing. To me, they were merely a scam. Letting me off and sparing yourself is best for us both.”
Robert swept his gaze down her, glimpsing the diamond ring on her finger.
For a moment, he plunged into a trance. A long time passed before he queried. “You’re… getting married?”
Crystal was just about to answer when footsteps sounded from the second floor.
Henry and David slowly descended the stairs.
Henry, who was walking in front, fixed his eyes on Robert. Then, he glanced at Crystal, whose eyes were red-rimmed. His gaze turned indecipherable.
Belonging naturally to the metropolitan elite with a plethora of properties registered to his name, Henry Miller was the preeminent attorney in the country. Nevertheless, he also assumed an additional role—Robert's forthcoming brother-in-law. Crystal hesitated momentarily, but then she mused, If Robert can cheat on me, why can't I indulge and enjoy myself too?Instead of pushing Henry away, she held onto him even tighter as she was beautiful and had an attractive figure.
