Will You Come Back To Me
Henry gently embraced her.
For once, Crystal let him hold onto her for a long while instead of prying him off her.
When the sun was finally above their heads, she said, “Henry, when are we getting a divorce?”
Henry stiffened.
He had guessed that she was going to mention it by the end of the day, but he still did not want to let
her go. He wished that their marriage would not end so soon. Perhaps he could still salvage their
ruined marriage.
After a long moment of silence, he hoarsely said, “Let’s wait for a while longer.”
Crystal pushed him away.
She turned around to stare at him. To Crystal, their relationship had already ended. Their divorce was
already set in stone.
“What for?” she asked, her voice equally raspy. “If we end this marriage quickly, we can start our
respective new journeys earlier. This marriage existed because of Skyler, and now that she’s gone,
we-” Henry cut her off.
As he gazed at her, he asked in a quiet and humble tone, “If Skyler were still around, will you return to
me?”
The question was cleverly phrased.
He did not ask her if she would get a divorce from him if Skyler were still around.
Instead, he asked her if she would return to his side.
However, Crystal did not read between the lines.
Staring at the almost-white sky, she softly muttered, “But there aren’t any ifs between us anymore.”
Stepping forward to slowly wrap his arms around her again, and before she could push him away,
Henry mumbled, “I’ll sign it. Just… let me hold you for a little longer, Crystal.”
And so, they hugged in silence.
Henry had no idea how long they were going to be separated for. Maybe two to three years, or even for
the rest of their lives.
But no matter how long it was going to last, he told himself that he had to set her free.
Staring at her, he finally said, “Let’s have a meal in the condominium we used to live in. I’ll get Jamie to
bring the divorce agreement to us later.”
In the end, Crystal still pushed him away.
With a faint smile, she said, “There is no such need.”
He grabbed her hand. “Just a meal, and I’ll sign the papers.”
His gaze on her was a burning and persistent one.
Crystal ultimately relented.
As she sat in his car, he called Jamie to give her his instructions. Clearly, Jamie knew what was going
to happen, for she quickly completed the task he had for her.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the condominium
Everything remained unchanged.
The Rococo-styled curtains, the piano, and the blue vase were still the same as they were in his
memories Even the injured Snowy had been brought back from the veterinary hospital and was
sunbathing on the cushion.
When Crystal came in, it dashed toward her and started whining.
She reached out to pat its head.
Looking at her thin hand, Henry softly said, “You can take it with you if you want.”
Crystal nodded.
Since it was their last meal as a married couple, Crystal did not want to dine in a hospital gown. She
went to the walk-in closet and picked a dress before putting on some makeup.
Both were silent when they ate their food.
Besides the delectable food, there were two copies of the divorce agreement, and they were the
reason for the quiet atmosphere,
Putting them aside, Henry told her, “We’ll look at the agreement after the meal.”
He gently served her more food, wanting her to eat more.
But Crystal only ate a little before putting down her fork and smiling at him. “Henry, let’s sign them now.
His hand on his fork stiffened.
A beat later, he said, “I’m not done eating yet.”
Crystal patiently waited for him. There was no trace of insanity on her. Sure enough, no matter how
melancholic she was, she had to return to reality and continue her life bravely.
Now, Crystal had found her courage again.
She would have to continue walking on this path of life on her own.
The conditions Henry had listed out for her were excellent. Real estate plus stock funds and cash
added up to more than two billion.
Crystal could not bring herself to sign the papers.
His voice was gentle and tranquil as he told her, “Take them. Don’t drink so much for work from now on.
Henry’s vision was blurred for a moment. It took him a while before he could recollect himself enough
to force a nonchalant tone as he said, “What are your plans?”
Crystal did not say anything.
He was taken aback for a moment before realization struck him hard.
Right. We’ve gotten a divorce. Why would she tell me her plans? Everything has ended.
Standing up. Crystal called Snowy over and put the leash on it. When she was departing, she softly
informed him. “I’m leaving now.”
Henry was still sitting by the table.
He wanted to send her off, but he was afraid he would want to make her stay.
Hence, as he stared at her face which had hardly any expressions, he told himself that this was the
best for the two of them. Finally, he averted his gaze from her and squeezed out, “Your uncle’s car is
downstairs.”
“Okay,” she said.
It’s over.
Just as her fingers touched the door handle, Henry suddenly said, “Believe it or not, Crystal, the one I
love is you.”
Crystal froze.
Her fingers hovered over the metal handle for a second, but she steeled herself and opened the door.
The sun outside was dazzling
Alfred’s car was parked downstairs. He had come in person to pick her up.
While they were on their way back, Crystal remained quiet, staring at the passing scenery outside.
Alfred chuckled and asked, “What’s the matter? Can’t bear to part with the b*stard?”
“No.”
Alfred’s gaze darkened. “By the way, that b*stard has left the court and has left the legal profession for
good today.”
Crystal visibly tensed up.
With another chuckle, Alfred continued, “Move on if that doesn’t bother
you
But Crystal’s heart was racing.
Henry Miller. What are you trying to do? You’re leaving the legal profession on the day of our divorce?
You’re never going to be a lawyer ever again? What are you trying to tell the world?
Crystal decided to stop dwelling on that.
ink about each other anymore.
After Crystal’s departure, Henry continued sitting in the condominium.
Empty space surrounded him.
He felt very lonely.
He knew that Crystal was going to go overseas. Alfred had already applied for a visa for Sumanthova
for her. She would be gone for three years.
It would be a long separation.
How will things be when she comes back? Will she have someone else by her side?
Henry had no answers to those questions.
All he knew was that he had traded the divorce certificate for a chance for the future, even if it meant
enduring heartache and discomfort. Despite being deeply in love, he was willing to let her go and set
her free.
Sitting down by Morning Dew, he began playing Moonlight Lovers by himself.
He played the piece again and again but did not feel tired.
In the evening, he received a call. “Mr. Miller, your daughter has opened her eyes, I’m sure you want to
be the first to know about this. Maybe you’d like to come take a look at her and talk to her.”
Henry held his phone tightly, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
Ultimately, he managed to keep his emotions in control to say, “I’ll be right there.”
Half an hour later, a black Maybach pulled up outside a grand lab.
The lab was built by a professor from Anglandur, and its research was focused on genetics. Skyler had
been brought to the lab half a month ago, and of course, the fees to save her had been very costly,
The fees was calculated in seconds.
Just as Henry pushed open the glass door, a blond foreigner passed him a small pod..
“She was lucky. Her survival rate is now fifty percent. But Mr. Miller… it’ll be difficult to raise this baby.
We won’t know what will happen during her growth as well. Anyway, she’ll have to remain in our lab for
further observation until she’s two years old.”
Henry clutched the pod tightly.
There was a small being inside.
She was fairer than before, and her tuft of hair was coffee-colored. Her eyes were bright, and she had
taken after her mother with a slight show of veins by the ends of her brows.
The tiny Skyler was looking at the man above her.
All of a sudden, she beamed and revealed her toothless gums.
At that very moment, all of Henry’s frustrations washed away. He kissed the pod. Skyler, I am Daddy
