Chapter 62 In Love
Crystal thought Henry would be unhappy.
To her surprise, he pulled her closer and whispered next to her ear, “I already had my fill”
Crystal’s cheeks reddened. How shameless!
Henry strode toward the dining room in a rather good mood. “Come and eat!”
Crystal went to the bathroom to wash her face first.
She turned on the tap and splashed her face with cold water violently to collect herself. I need to resolve Clementine’s issue as soon as possible. I won’t tell Henry about it because I’ve troubled him too much. I’m aware of our relationship, and I don’t think it’s okay to act coy with him whenever I have issues. His time is precious, after all!
Upon recollecting herself, she walked out of the bathroom. To her surprise, the dining table was filled with food, far more than what she would’ve prepared.
Henry clarified placidly, “I had the chef from my family residence send them over.” After a moment of contemplation, he added, “If you don’t like to cook, let Marie do it.”
Crystal quickly said, “No, I’ll do it.” I know how much Henry cares about privacy. If Marie’s here at night, it’ll definitely disturb his work. I don’t have the heart to ask him to sacrifice for me.
Henry did not insist and ate quietly.
Believing that she came here to serve him, Crystal took the initiative to deliver him a bowl of
stew.
Henry looked up.
“It smells good,” Crystal said in a low voice.
Instead of consuming it immediately, Henry stated, “I would be quite happy if you were so active in kissing.”
The atmosphere in the room took a turn as they both recalled the kiss in the car.
Technically, there was a lot more intimate moment than just kissing.
Crystal felt her cheeks burning. Why did he start that topic at the table?
Mir dinner washed the dishes before watching a video on her phone.
She was wide awake at that moment. She realized it would be difficult for her to sue Clementine. She was extremely careful with her wording! I doubt anything she said can be used to establish a crime. Dammit!
Bitterness was present on her pale face.
Henry snatched her phone away at that moment and nonchalantly brushed his finger across the screen. “Indeed, you can’t sue her.”
Crystal was stunned. “You knew?”
Henry returned the phone to her and sat by her side. “About the fact that you were targeted or the fact that Robert has a woman outside?”
Crystal thought the man had a big heart. She had met Melora before and could tell that her relationship with Henry was tight. Does he not care that Robert’s fooling around with another
woman?
Henry flashed a faint smile and held her chin. “Have you seen anyone truly caring about their toys before? As long as the toy knows who its owner is and is obedient, what does it matter? The toy is going to be thrown away at the end.”
Crystal froze.
She gazed at him dumbfoundedly, unsure of how to react.
In response, Henry spelled things out clearly for her. “Melora has committed suicide before, so asking her to break up right now is a terrible idea. In this case, there’s only one option left. We’ll let her play with Robert until she’s satisfied and dump him. It doesn’t matter if Robert’s cheating or not as long as Melora is happy now.”
Complicated emotions coursed through Crystal’s heart. Even though he’s talking about Robert, it’s also applicable to me. He’s only treating me nicely because it makes him happy.
Her silence lasted for a long while. Of course, Henry could tell what was on her mind.
He stroked her cheek and assured softly, “We’re different! We reciprocate each other’s feelings. To put it nicely, we’re in love. Do you not like my looks and my figure, Crystal?”
Crystal closed her eyes. Yeah, I do!
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.
