The lights in the study weren’t switched on, with the computer screen being the sole source of
illumination. The faint glow from the computer screen cast a dim light on Henry’s face.
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it up, staring at the screen quietly.
He had been plagued by anxiety recently, but after figuring out a solution, he was in a different mood.
He could not bear to part with the twenty-year-old Crystal. It wasn’t because he had a preference for
younger women, but rather because he was deeply in love with her. Even if it was only a dream, the
idea c leaving her behind in that dream saddened him.
After smoking two cigarettes, Henry was about to return to the bedroom when Crystal showed up.
She was wearing his shirt. She rubbed her eyes as she asked groggily, “Where’s Madison?”
“Charles picked her up just now,” Henry replied, waving for her to join him in the study.
Crystal felt shy, but she had developed feelings for him, and he always managed to stop himself before
losing control. She trusted him and willingly sat on his lap.
Lying in his arms, she asked softly. “Why would Charles pick her up?”
Henry brushed a hand through her brown hair that had laid on his pillow many times.
He smiled and said, “That’s because Charles is her future husband.”
Future husband?
Playing with the buttons of his pajamas, Crystal asked, “How do you know what will happen in the
future?” Henry caught her hand.
Looking up, Crystal realized he was staring at her, his gaze dark with desire.
Her cheeks turned pink.
She tried to retract her hand, but he wouldn’t let go of her.
Crystal rested her head on his shoulder and enveloped her arms around his neck. “Henry, why do I get
the feeling that you will leave as suddenly as you appeared?”
Upon hearing this, Henry felt profoundly saddened.
It led him to contemplate the possibility of bringing back the twenty-year-old Crystal so that he could
have both Crystals together-one mature and the other young and innocent.
Henry knew that he should cease dwelling on such thoughts. He lowered his head and gently planted a
kiss on her forehead. “We’ll always be together. Trust me, Crystal.”
Crystal looked up, and a stray beam of sunlight shone through the window, illuminating her youthful
face.
Her complexion was fair, and her eyebrows were beautifully shaped. Her brown hair cascaded down
her shoulders, and she was in such good shape.
At that moment, she was looking at him innocently.
Her voice trembled as she replied, “I trust you.”
For the twenty-year-old Crystal, this relationship had appeared unexpectedly, much like an afternoon
storm.
She had attempted to resist his charms, but the moment she stepped into his condominium unit, it felt
strangely familiar, and she surrendered to her feelings. She couldn’t shake the belief that destiny had
guided her to Henry’s side. Otherwise, he would’ve bumped into someone else on campus the other
day.
Crystal had always been steadfast in following her heart.
She longed to be with Henry and disregarded the disparity in their social statuses or whether his would
approve of their relationship.
Just like that, she agreed to date him without thinking much.
Her expression conveyed a sense of vulnerability and helplessness.
Henry had the urge to swallow her whole and bring her back to reality. parents
He remained composed and simply embraced her, sharing his intentions. He spoke of plans like
opening a music center for her, strategically located in the heart of Barnwood, after her graduation. He
also expressed his desire to marry her when she turned twenty-four and start a family together.
Henry spoke at length, and as he glanced down, he noticed a glistening tear at the corner of her eye.
She had drifted off to sleep.
How silly! Why did she cry?
Henry kissed her lips gently before carrying her back to the bedroom.
It was only a week until the anniversary celebration.
Henry took great care to ensure Crystal’s safety and well-being. He went so far as to visit John and
request that the latter allow Crystal to stay with him temporarily so he could personally drive her to and
fro campus.
John disagreed, but Henry persisted and spent a night at the Winters residence, engaging in a game of
chess with him.
When dawn broke, John finally relented.
Following that, Anna assisted Crystal in packing her belongings and handed them over to Henry.
Henry walked down the stairs with her luggage.
Crystal was sitting in the car, clearly displeased.
After placing the luggage in the trunk, he settled into the driver’s seat. As he fastened his seatbelt, he
asked in a casual tone, “Don’t you want to live with me?”
Crystal felt slightly uneasy.
She averted her gaze and took some time before responding. “Henry. I’m sure I have feelings for you,
but it seems like you’re trying to control everything. Everything is moving too fast!” She frowned. “I don’t
want to live with anyone right now.”
Henry’s gaze turned dark.
She couldn’t deny her attraction to him, given his handsome appearance, but she felt it was important
to express her thoughts openly.
“Henry, I appreciate your plans for the future, but none of us can predict what it holds. What if someday
you grow tired of me or meet someone else you prefer and ask me to leave? I won’t be able to take
that,” she continued, tears glistening in her eyes.
She really liked him.
Henry caressed her cheek. He then pulled out a document from the glove compartment and handed it
to Crystal.
Crystal glanced down and discovered a transfer agreement.
The condominium unit as well as the piano had been transferred to her name.
He had also transferred his personal assets to her, amounting to over one hundred and twenty billion.
Shocked, Crystal bit her lip and protested softly, “I never wanted these!”
Henry could guess that she was caught by surprise.
“Doesn’t this reassure you? Why not claim my body as well? Would that make you feel more secure?”
He deliberately spoke in a casual tone, then pressed his forehead against hers. “My body may be an
immovable property, but in your hands, it could become a movable asset! However, this item isn’t
available on the open market, so only you have access to it!”
Crystal felt both embarrassed and furious.
Why did he suddenly mention this? He really has no shame.
Henry took her hand, urging her to sign the document.
Crystal looked at him stubbornly.
Henry patted her head affectionately and said, “You said I can predict the future, right? Is there
anything wrong with giving everything to my future wife?”
His words made sense.
Crystal signed the contract in advance at twenty years old and gave her entire being to Henry.
Living together was both a new and exciting experience for her.
Henry felt the same.
That night, they lay in bed, kissing and fondling each other. Crystal was inexperienced, but he patiently
taught her what to do.
After that, Crystal went to the bathroom and washed her hands for a long time.
When she stepped out of the bathroom, Henry was already fully clothed.
She couldn’t hide her surprise. “You’re heading out at this hour?”
Henry put on his belt and gently pinched her chin. “I have some matters to attend to, so I need to go
out. Go to bed. If you’re hungry, I’ll bring some food back for you.”
“No, thanks. I don’t want to gain weight.”
Henry looked at her with a hint of amusement.
She had to admit that he looked very handsome.
She blushed. I’m not doing this for him!
Late at night, Henry drove to someplace alone.
It was a theater in Barnwood.
Thanks to Jamie’s arrangement, the door was wide open when Henry arrived. He entered without
encountering any obstacles.
It was dark inside, so he switched on the lights.
It became as bright as day.
The hall was huge and desolate, and his footsteps echoed with a creaking sound on the floor.
Slowly, Henry made his way to the front row and settled into the familiar seat. This was where he had
witnessed Crystal being struck by the falling debris of the chandelier.
She was still in a coma.
Henry closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
When he reopened his eyes, they held a steely determination and a touch of ruthlessness. He
remained seated there from nightfall until dawn.
In the morning, he called the dean of the Department of Music, Clifford Livingstone. “Mr. Livingstone.
this is Henry Miller.”
Clifford perked up and jolted upright in bed. “Oh, Henry, it’s you,” he greeted cheerfully.
Despite his polite tone, he was cursing inwardly. Why is this Grim Reaper calling me early in the
morning?
Henry didn’t bother beating around the bush. “I heard that your university is hosting an anniversary
celebration next week with numerous performances. I’d like my girlfriend to have a performance on
stage”
Clifford hesitated.
Henry chuckled and offered, Tm willing to sponsor twenty million for this event
Upon hearing this, Clifford quickly agreed, “It’s just a performance, isn’t it? Money won’: affect our
relationship, Henry”
Henry’s lips quirked up. “She’ll play the piano. I’ll arrange for someone to design the stage.”
Clifford agreed without hesitation.
He was willing to go along with Henry’s wishes, even if it meant plastering Crystal’s name all over the
hall. It wasn’t just about the twenty million as the Miller family was also involved.
Henry ended the call.
He walked out of the hall silently, and the morning sun cast a long shadow in his wake.
As Henry didn’t go home last night, he thought Crystal would be upset. She had a bad temper.
However, when he opened the door to the condominium unit, the delightful aroma of his favorite
meatballs greeted his senses.
Clad in an oversized T-shirt and an apron, Crystal was busy cooking in the kitchen.
She looked like a loving wife.
Henry’s frustration began to dissipate as he hugged her from behind and murmured, “Why didn’t you
call me when I didn’t come back? It’s not wise to let men have their way. Crystal, the first lesson in
becoming Mrs. Miller is learning how to keep me on a leash, okay?”
Crystal blushed prettily. “I’ve never heard of anyone asking to be kept on a leash!”
Henry kissed her neck and mumbled, “I have.”
With his concerns weighing on his mind, he kissed her passionately.
Crystal remained inexperienced, but she hugged him back and reciprocated his kisses. A long while
later, he was finally satiated. “I’ll give you a ride to the campus later,” he said hoarsely.
Crystal shook her head. “I can take the bus or the cab.”
Henry’s gaze was dark as he patted her butt. “Do you feel sorry for me?”
Crystal refused to admit to it, but she didn’t deny it either.
She continued preparing the meatballs while Henry went to the bathroom to shave. He wanted a clean
jaw,
He cast a brief glance at his reflection in the mirror, noting that he still looked as handsome as ever.
Suddenly, his hands paused midair.
He suddenly realized that he had overlooked a critical issue. If he couldn’t endure the hardships on
behalf of Crystal, he would remain trapped in this dream indefinitely and would not be able to return to
reality.
The realization caused him to break out in a cold sweat.
His hand slipped, and the razor micked his jaw, causing a small trickle of blood to ooze out.
Henry was back to his calm sell when he stepped out of the bathroom.
He changed into a dark blue shirt and grey trousers which gave him a mature and handsome vibe.
Crystal couldn’t help but gaze at him.
She served him a plate of meatballs so he could try her cooking. Naturally, Henry loved it. “Crystal, I’ll
cook for you after we get married.”
“Are you saying I have to cook for the next four years?”
Henry said nothing and gave her a kiss.
Of course not. I can’t be by her side for the next four years and can only wait for her in the future. By
then, she was already a mature woman, a mother of three.
Crystal knew nothing. She felt blissful to be able to be with him.
Henry was not only handsome but also came from a well-off family.
Most importantly, he understood her well, and she felt entirely at ease in his presence.
After breakfast, Henry dropped her off at the campus.
His car was pretty ostentatious.
Crystal insisted that he dropped her at the entrance, but his car still managed to attract attention.
Biting her lip, Crystal complained, “It’s all your fault!”
Feeling sorry, Henry kissed her. “I’ll get another car tomorrow.”
Crystal was moved. She kissed his jaw and opened the door to get out of the car.
Henry watched as she walked away and finally realized who Skyler looked like.
While Skyler did bear a resemblance to him, she also bore a striking resemblance to the young Crystal.
Henry made a call and instructed, “Spread the rumor that the piano performance was initially intended.
for Clementine, but due to her background, the university ultimately selected Crystal. Also, ensure
Crystal’s protection at all times.”
That afternoon, Crystal bumped into Clementine.
The rumor about the solo piano performance had circulated throughout the Department of Music.
Everyone was gossiping about Clementine, and she was furious.
Crystal already has so much, so why did she take this opportunity away from me? The university has
invited numerous influential individuals from Barnwood, and it is a crucial opportunity for me to
showcase myself.
She refused to give up just yet.
Taking in Crystal’s calm expression, Clementine snorted icily. “This hasn’t been decided yet. Don’t get
all smug”
Crystal had never sought to draw attention to herself.
Clementine had ambitions to rise through the ranks, but Crystal had no such desire. However, since the
university had chosen her, she had no intention of relinquishing the position easily.
She merely responded with a faint smile, which successfully ignited Clementine’s anger.
She sneered, “You must be feeling sorry for Madison. But that’s not my fault, Crystal. Madison simply
wasn’t capable enough!”,
Crystal shook her head gently.
Clementine still couldn’t get it. Even after Madison’s breakup with Zachary, Madison could move on and
find another suitable partner, but Clementine had compromised her dignity and was beyond
redemption.
The more unfazed Crystal was, the more Clementine was filled with hatred.
She went to Clifford.
Clifford was a handsome man in his fifties, but he was already an elderly man.
Nevertheless, Clementine didn’t mind that.
She considered that it might not be a terrible idea to keep him company to seize an opportunity. After
all, she had heard about his complicated personal life.
She was pretty certain that she could seduce him.
However, when she began to undress in front of him, Clifford gently assisted her in putting her clothes.
back on. He said kindly, “Clemmy, they say we should sacrifice for art, but this isn’t the way. It’s about
the spirit, not the body. It’s easy to take off your clothes but not so easy to put them back on.”
Clementine was taken aback, and her expression turned dark.
Clifford added, “I don’t know where this rumor came from, but the university never intended for you to
perform. It’s just a falsehood spread by someone with bad intentions.”
Clementine refused to believe him.
She still thought that it was Crystal who had taken the chance away from her.
She left the dean’s office and left in search of Crystal.
Crystal was sitting in the library, engrossed in her reading. The atmosphere was tranquil, with four
black- clad bodyguards positioned nearby, ensuring that no one could get close to her.
