Henry Got Anxious.
Seth picked a nice Irushean restaurant.
It was exactly eight o’clock when Crystal arrived in her car.
Seth, who had been waiting for her in the parking lot, opened the door for her chivalrously as soon as
her car came to a halt.
“It’s not easy to treat you to a meal,” he said.
After getting out of the car, Crystal placed a hand on the car door and smiled. “Mr. Murray asked me to
stay for dinner when I taught Sophia piano at your house the day before yesterday, but you weren’t
home.”
Seth stared at her intently before saying, “You know that’s not what I want.”
After a moment of deliberation, Crystal replied truthfully, “Seth, you know me. We’re not suitable for
each other.”
Seth continued fixing his gaze on her.
The tension in the air was palpable. This was the first time Crystal sensed masculine aggression from
Seth. He did not do anything, but she felt stressed somehow.
Seth suddenly flashed her a relaxed smile.
Lowering his head, he murmured in an undertone, “If you’re so stressed over a meal, I won’t dare to
ask you out in the future.”
He then assured her, “This meal is to celebrate your success in your career.
Finding Seth likable, Crystal could not help but smile as well.
Closing the car door, she walked into the restaurant with him.
Seth had reserved a table, but unfortunately, Henry was also having a meal there with a graceful-
looking woman in her fifties.
His speech and demeanor exuded respect, clearly indicating his familiarity with the woman.
Seth knew the elderly woman, too, so he greeted the latter.
Henry looked up at Seth and then at Crystal, who wished the ground would swallow her up.
As Crystal had expected, Henry wiped his lips with a napkin and uttered in a flat tone, “Miss Winters,
living alone without any obligations must make it quite convenient for you to have a boyfriend.”
Seth raised his eyebrow.
Wow. He’s obviously jealous!
With one hand resting on the back of Henry’s chair, Seth responded with a smile, “You live alone
as well, Henry. So it should be quite convenient for you too!”
Henry narrowed his eyes, while Seth still wore a smile on his face.
The graceful elderly woman could sense the tense atmosphere between them as she asked in soft
voice, “Henry, who is this lady?”
While Henry was persisting with the silent treatment, his ego prevented him from acknowledging
Crystal as his girlfriend.
With a faint smile, he was about to evade the question by providing a vague, perfunctory answer when
Seth blinked and said deliberately. “Mrs. Xenos, this is my friend, Crystal Winters. What do you think of
her?”
As a wealthy housewife, she did not know how to read the signs of compatibility between two
individuals.
Smiling, she replied, “She seems nice!”
Then, she looked at Henry and added, “Your mom mentioned that you have a girlfriend who is a Virgo,
just as the fortune teller predicted. Do bring her over someday and I would be delighted to treat her to
dinner.”
Henry and Seth were speechless.
Fortunately, they exhibited proper behavior in the presence of an elder and refrained from getting into a
fight in the restaurant. Moreover, Seth respected Crystal and had no intention of causing her any
embarrassment.
Henry left after a while.
It was only at that moment Crystal felt a sense of relief. Throughout the meal, she had been constantly
aware of Henry’s gaze upon her, which had kept her on edge the entire time.
“You still have feelings for him.”
She heard Seth’s remark, which left her stunned.
His charming and beautiful eyes were fixated on her as he added in a hoarse and alluring voice, “Like I
told you before, you’ll see Henry in a different light if you try hanging out with me. Well, look, he was
about to beat me up in a fancy restaurant just now!”
Crystal cast her eyes down.
As her relationship with Henry was practically over, she found it pointless to talk about that.
Seth smiled and said nothing more.
Crystal felt comfortable and relaxed while spending time with him as he was personable and respectful
toward others.
She cherished him as a friend, for he was always there for her whenever she needed him.
After the meal, Seth proposed taking a walk and possibly visiting the cinema to see if there were any
good movies showing.
Thinking that doing so would make them seem unnecessarily intimate, Crystal turned him down.
Beneath the glow of a street lamp, Seth gallantly held open the car door for her, chuckling as he
remarked, “Miss Winters, you have your guard up so high!”
Crystal fastened her seat belt.
Looking up at him, she said softly, “I cherish our friendship, so I don’t want to take things any further.”
Taking a long look at her, Seth said nothing. Eventually, he took a step back to let her drive.
As Crystal drove off, Seth curled his lips slightly.
Friendship. Who the f*ck wants friendship? I just want to marry her and have kids with her!
Crystal slowly drove back to the condominium.
A golden Bentley Continental was parked under a tree.
Dressed in formal attire, Henry was leaning against the car door smoking.
The combination of a handsome man and a luxurious car was particularly eye-catching.
Despite the attempts of the young ladies passing by, who were smiling and trying to catch hist
attention, the man’s gaze remained fixed solely on Crystal.
As she approached him, Henry took a deep drag of his cigarette, causing his cheeks to cave in, further
accentuating his distinct and appealing facial features beneath the shadow cast by the tree.
Crystal was convinced that with such a handsome face, Henry could easily engage in romantic affairs
with any woman he desired.
His appearance was simply unparalleled.
Crystal went up to him and asked, “Do you need something, Mr. Miller?”
Henry discarded the cigarette hunt and crushed it under his foot.
“Aren’t you going to invite me to your place?”
Standing still, Crystal remained silent for a long time before asking in a h oar se voice, “Do you want to
do it? If yes, let’s go to a hotel.”
Henry knitted his brows.
“Why do you want to go to the hotel when your place is right here?”
He remembered that Crystal disliked hotels. Obviously, she was still mad at him.
Henry softened his attitude. “Come on, stop throwing a tantrum. Are you still angry after so many days?
There’s nothing going on between her and me.
Crystal remained unwavering.
Looking at his car, she replied, “I’m not throwing a tantrum, Mr. Miller. I don’t have the right to, either. I
just think that given our relationship, it’s more suitable to do it in a hotel. Let’s take your car. I will take a
taxi back later.”
The look in Henry’s eyes darkened.
He stared at her for a while before turning around to get into the car.
After he fastened the seat belt, Crystal sat down beside him.
Henry deliberately threw a small square box onto the space above the center console, then turned. to
her and said. “Let’s spend the night at the hotel. I’m afraid you won’t be able to get out of bed.”
Crystal looked away.
He is such a jerk!
Henry stared at her for a moment and drove to a five-star hotel in a fit of anger when she still did. not
say anything.
The receptionist sensed the tension between them and dared not make a sound while handing them
the keycard.
Taking the keycard, Henry walked ahead of Crystal at a fast pace.
Trailing behind him, Crystal stepped slowly into the elevator.
This was the second time she had come to a hotel with him, and the memories of his previous erratic
and wild behavior still haunted her.
The elevator was enveloped in an unsettling silence.
Henry kept his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless.
Crystal did not understand what was on his mind.
He’s here to have fun but he looks like he’s suffering.
Upon entering the room, Henry was not as eager as he was the previous time.
He casually threw the box onto the large bed before taking off his coat and tossing it at the foot of the
bed.
“Do you want to take a shower, Miss Winters?”
Crystal had lost her virginity to him and only him. She had never slept with other men.
Consequently, his tone at that moment hurt her deeply. She felt a lump in her throat, but she pretended
to be calm.
“No need for that!”
“Are you sure?” Henry suddenly approached her, stroking her face with his fingers. “You smell like
Seth. It’d be better if you could wash his scent off.”
