Chapter 252 I Belong To Crystal Alone
The two ex-partners had nothing to say as they reunited.
Robert couldn’t bring himself to ask about Alfred.
Despite being the accomplished man he was, he knew he had messed up when he lost both. Crystal and Melora.
Feelings of reminiscence arose within him when he saw Melora again.
Yet, Melora had completely moved on.
She clutched onto her chest and nodded at Crystal. “I’ll get changed.”
Crystal smiled faintly and nodded.
Then, she noticed the look of disappointment on Robert’s face but said nothing. Well, some people only appreciate something after losing it.
The man left with his date, not even trying on any clothes.
At the door, they bumped into Henry, who had just parked his car.
Henry narrowed his eyes at Robert, and the two men brushed
past each other.
He entered the studio to find Crystal still seated while drinking a cup of coffee and flipping through a magazine.
“You look pretty calm even after bumping into an ex-lover,” Henry commented, sitting next to her.
“You’re my ex-lover too,” Crystal responded nonchalantly while continuing to browse her magazine. “Oh, wait. We were actually married, so that makes you my ex-husband.”
Henry laughed in exasperation.
“Funny how you’re saying that after all the things we did last night,” he murmured.
Crystal realized she had no way of arguing with him.
Her face flushed as she recalled the previous night’s ordeal. “You pervert!”
The man chuckled.
He unbuttoned his suit and took the magazine from her before looking through it himself.
“This gown’s pretty nice.”
Choosing not to retaliate, Crystal leaned over.
Henry placed an arm around her shoulder and turned his head slightly to gaze at her profile. “We’ll go home after the banquet and do it while you’re in this dress,” he muttered.
Crystal felt her cheeks burn. She knew he’d harbor such thoughts.
Still, there was no denying that she liked the gown too.
Henry’s taste was indeed praiseworthy.
The woman pointed at the magazine and had a sales assistant bring out the dress, but she refused to let Henry take a look as she changed into it. She believed in keeping things interesting even if they were married or still dating.
Melora headed home after picking her outfit.
Meanwhile, Henry and Crystal made their way over to Seeas Corporation with Skyler for their PR photoshoot.
Crystal appeared hesitant.
“Am I not worth being with again, Crystal?” Henry asked with his eyes on the road and one hand on the wheel, knowing how she felt. Worried that Skyler would hear him, he lowered. his voice as he added, “You’d do it with me, but you don’t want to marry me?”
Crystal leaned back into her seat, observing him quietly.
The light turned red.
Taking the opportunity, Henry turned toward her and took her hand gently. “We can date while being married, Crystal. I don’t just want your body. I want everything about me a chance. Don’t turn me down.”
Crystal held his hand in return.
you. Give
If she didn’t want to give him a chance, she wouldn’t have agreed to sleep in his bed and let him do whatever he pleased with her. She had never even gotten mad at him or picked a fight.
Henry stared at her deeply.
This time, it’ll just be us
Skyler sat in the backseat, listening quietly
I think I’m really going to have a mommy!
The PR photos were released on the day of Seeas Corporation’s anniversary.
There was a significant change in this yearly tradition. While all of the previous years’ photos. were of Henry alone, it was a family photo this time.
The image showed a graceful-looking Crystal carrying Skyler while seated on the couch inside the CEO’s office, with the little girl smiling elegantly.
Standing behind the couch was Henry, with one hand on Crystal’s shoulder.
He had a very tender expression on his face.
From this picture, it was clear how much the CEO of Seeas Corporation adored his wife.
By eight in the evening, almost every member of Barnwood’s upper echelon had come over to Seeas Hotel for the celebration.
Henry stood on the stage to deliver his speech while occasionally glancing at Crystal. From the he looked at her, it was plain to see how enthralled he was.
way
She looked absolutely stunning tonight.
With her dark green silk gown highlighting her slim figure, she certainly didn’t look as though she had given birth before. Her waist was so slender that he could hold it with one. hand.
Her shoulders and back looked just as exquisite.
“A massive thank you to our dear Mr. Miller!” the emcee said after Henry was done with hist speech.
Henry smiled faintly. “I belong to Mrs. Miller alone.”
The crowd was taken aback. No one had expected Henry to make such a remark since he was known for being especially uptight about his private life and rarely talked about women.
The man had already walked down the stage while everyone remained stunned.
“May I invite you to a dance, Mrs. Miller?” he asked Crystal, gazing at her and smiling courteously.
His charming demeanor made Crystal’s heart race.
She had been with him for five years since she was twenty-four. They had gotten married and had a child together, but this was their first time officially announcing their relationship.
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.
