Chapter 47 She’ll Listen as Long as She Loves Him
After Crystal hung up on him, Robert took his anger out on his car with a punch.
Damn it, Crystal Winters! It feels like I don’t even know her anymore.

Crystal’s response put Robert in a bad mood even though he refused to admit that her attitude had a huge impact on him.
She’s just a woman that got away. She means nothing to me.
Robert didn’t visit the hospital to patch himself up. Instead, he drove to a club that he frequented for business affairs. It was an exclusive club that only served influential customers.
After asking for a private room, Robert began to drink in broad daylight..
The manager accompanied him. After a few drinks, he prompted, “Did you fight with your girlfriend, Mr. Sloan? Otherwise, you wouldn’t drink in the morning. What happened? I was told the daughter of the Miller Family is crazy about you.”
Robert/reclined the leather couch. He cast his dark eyes down as he processed the manager’s words. “Crazy about/me?”
The manager poured him another glass of wine with a winning smile. “A woman will listen to her man’s words as long as she loves him.”
Robert finished half of the glass without a word.
A few moments later, a faint smile finally graced his lips. “Does it mean she no longer loves him if she stops listening to him one day?”
“That’s impossible! Mr. Sloan, you’re more charismatic than you think. Women will stay for you,” the manager flattered Robert.
Now that he found Robert was troubled over a woman, he summoned a girl to the private room.
She was young and innocent.
“She’ll accompany you throughout your stay, Mr. Sloan.” The manager kept it vague.
At first, Robert wanted to reject the manager’s gesture. However, he was stunned when he locked eyes with the girl.
The girl with a pure look resembled Crystal, especially in her side profile. He went into a trance as he pulled her toward him and whispered, “Crystal?”
The manager took the hint and walked away, leaving the luxurious private room to them.
The girl was a female escort, so she was good at pleasing a man. She took the initiative as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. The kiss aroused Robert and he pushed her onto the couch.
After that, the pair silently enjoyed the afterglow.
Robert casually asked, “What’s your name?”
The girl sweetly helped him to get dressed as she replied, “Crystalline.”

Chapter 47 She’ll Listen as Long as She Loves Him
Robert shot her an alluring smile before commenting, “That’s a good name.”
Crystalline blushed at his comment. She put her arms around him as she purred, “Mr. Sloan, when will you come again?”
Robert lit a cigarette and took a drag from it. “We’ll see.”
His answer disappointed her. She was gauging his reaction to see whether he would keep her or not. After all, he was very passionate and kept repeating the same name a few moments ago.
She knew he saw someone else in her, but she didn’t care. All she wanted was a big shot to depend on.
Meanwhile, Robert was in no mood to deal with the woman. He immediately left the club after that.
After getting in his car, he checked the time on his watch. It was 11.00AM, which meant it was time to have lunch at the Miller Residence. A shadow fell on Robert’s handsome face at the thought of seeing Henry.
Much to his surprise, Henry wasn’t home when he arrived at the Miller Residence.
Melora got downstairs with her phone and sweetly addressed her parents, “I wonder why Henry is so busy. He agreed on coming home for lunch, but it’s almost 3.00PM already!”
Robert clenched his fists. Oh, I’m well aware of the reason.
Even so, he kept his composure as he played chess with David.
Melora took a seat beside him and murmured coquettishly, “Please don’t get angry. Henry doesn’t mean
it.”
Robert smiled at her. “I won’t.”
David was very pleased with Robert’s character. Glancing at his precious daughter, he teased, “Robert isn’t as restless as you, you know. He can’t do business with that attitude.”
Robert gently put an arm around Melora. “She’s a considerate girl.”
His words coated Melora’s heart in honey. Just as she wanted to answer, she leaned toward him and sniffed his shoulder. “Robert, why do you smell like perfume?”
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.
