Chapter 88 Feeling Ashamed
It was three in the morning when Henry returned to his condominium.
When he opened the door, a warm yellow light spilled out from the bedroom, lending a touch of warmth to the cold and luxurious decor.
Since Crystal had been sleeping lightly, she was awakened when he walked into the bedroom. She sat up against the headboard and uttered groggily, “Do you want supper?”
“It’s too late for that. I’m going to take a shower,” he replied.
Didn’t he shower before he left? Is he…
As he leaned in to kiss her, Henry noticed the clarity in her eyes. “What are you thinking? Do you really think I have the energy to seek others when you have captivated my soul?”
When Crystal heard that, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. She decided not to probe further.
Henry undressed and made his way to the bathroom, casually tossing his white shirt onto the floor. Crystal instinctively picked it up and placed it in the laundry basket. She planned to hand-wash it the next day.
However, as she examined the shirt, her expression froze.
It was stained with blood, and a faint metallic scent hung in the air.
She turned to look at the bathroom, a look of concern creasing her brows.
Did Henry go out so late in the night to fight someone?
Her mind immediately connected the dots between Robert’s earlier outburst and Henry’s late-night departure. She guessed that his opponent must have been Robert.
After carefully placing the shirt aside, Crystal settled back on the bed.
Soon after, Henry emerged from the bathroom, clad in a black bathrobe and still damp from his shower.
He approached Crystal from behind and began to explore her body with a deliberate and sensual touch. With his hand supporting her head, he passionately kissed her. Despite the discomfort in her neck, Crystal, who felt a sense of guilt, yielded to his desires.

As their desires grew stronger, Henry pinned Crystal beneath him, his gaze piercing and intense.
He didn’t make any further moves, choosing instead to simply stare at her.
Captivated by his striking features, Crystal traced her fingers delicately along his prominent nose and chiseled jawline. Blushing, she whispered, “Henry, you’re incredibly good-looking.”
The man chuckled in disbelief. “Do women give praises to men like that? Don’t you feel shy?”
Crystal arched her body slightly and leaned in, planting a soft kiss on his lips. Her seductive move served to fan the flames of desire within them.
Tonight, she had truly embraced her womanhood.
All the pleasure she experienced was thanks to Henry.
Moved by her gesture, Henry lowered his head and kissed her with tenderness.
After a lingering kiss, he lay down and pulled her into his embrace. “Let’s get some sleep.”
Crystal nestled against his chest, finding solace and comfort in his embrace. With one hand delicately wrapped around his waist, she closed her eyes, surrendering herself to the tranquil moment. Meanwhile, Henry watched her intently, captivated by her beauty.
Her beauty was understated yet enchanting.
No wonder Robert couldn’t bear to let her go. If he were in the man’s shoes, he would find it equally challenging to give her up.
When Crystal woke up the next morning, she found herself alone in bed; a single long- stemmed white rose lay beside her pillow, its petals adorned with glistening dew.
A sense of delight filled her as she picked up the flower and inhaled its fragrance. She rolled around on the bed with a contented smile.
Crystal’s face flushed as she recalled their passionate activities from the previous night.
Although it was her first time and she had no previous experiences with other men, she instinctively sensed that Henry was skilled in that aspect and had a greater appetite than most men. After engaging in two rounds of intimacy last night, she was surprised that he didn’t even need rest and wanted to continue further.
As a mature woman, Crystal didn’t view being intimate with a man as a burden.
On the contrary, she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Just then, a faint sound came from outside, followed by a knock on the door. The housekeeper said joyfully, “Miss Winters, Mr. Miller has sent you a gift. Please get up and have a look.”
Crystal gently bit her lip.
A gift from Henry?
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.
