Crystal stated coldly, “No need!”
While she wanted to get out of the car, Henry was a step faster than her and blocked her inside.
Gazing at her, he said, “I was wrong last time. I shouldn’t have done that to you. However, please don’t
treat me coldly and provoke me anymore. Can you do that?”
Crystal smirked.
Staring at him, she said gently, “Lara visited me today. She said she wants to stay by your side but
doesn’t need a title. Do you know how disgusted I feel, Henry? If you didn’t insist on saving her
personally and staying by her side for three days, she wouldn’t have had the gall to say that to my
face!” This is all your fault!
Henry was visibly taken aback upon hearing that,
He also didn’t expect Lara to be that aggressive. After all, once he paid her medical bills and ensured
her life wasn’t in danger, he cut contact with her and blocked her.
Lowering his voice, he promised, “I’ll handle it, okay?”
Crystal smirked again. “No need. I can deal with this!”
Henry thought it would just be an argument between women which would lead to Lara being chased
away. Hence, he didn’t ask any further.
Although, he was feeling touched that night and wanted to spend time with Crystal.
In a small voice, he pleaded, “Can you spend the night in my room? I won’t do anything that’ll disgust
you.”
Sadly for him, Crystal wasn’t interested, even if she needed to quench her own sexual urge.
She simply couldn’t accept it, so she rejected him.
Under the moonlight, Henry leaned toward her, wanting to kiss her.
In response, Crystal shifted toward the other door and exited the car.
Hastily, Henry entered the vehicle, pulled her arm, and pinned her on the backseat, wanting to kiss her.
Outside the car, someone coughed.
Then, David asked, “What are you doing, Henry?”
Henry froze, still gazing at the woman below him.
A slight frown formed on his handsome countenance.
Crystal felt her throat tightened as she spoke hoarsely. “I’ll accompany you on a walk, Dad!”
David waited outside of the automobile.
Upon her release, she tidied her clothes before leaving the car.
It only took a glance for David to tell the couple was having a quarrel. Thus, he replied with a grin.
“Come then, Crys! Walk with me.”
Crystal wore her coat and sauntered next to David.
They had a very tight bond, as though they were blood-related.
After a while, David spoke kindly. “Mom and I know how aggrieved you’re feeling. Henry, he’s… Even
though we’re his parents, it’s still difficult for us to manage his temper in the past.”
Crystal nodded. “It is.”
Patting her shoulder, David continued to walk with her.
In reality, he knew Crystal was unhappy. If not for her past relationship with Henry and her children, she
wouldn’t have needed to subject herself to this terrible situation.
The days went by uneventfully.
A week later, Crystal played the piano in the living room in the evening.
The butler approached her and said that Emily was visiting again.
Crystal replied plainly, “Let her in!”
It was Emily’s second time in the Miller residence. She didn’t have the nerve to sit, so she stood beside
Crystal. “Please, spare Lara, Mrs. Miller!”
Wordlessly, Crystal continued to play the piano.
With a crying voice, Emily pleaded, “Lara’s almost driven insane after she was expelled and followed
by your two bodyguards at every moment! She isn’t wealthy, Mrs. Miller. Please let her go!”
Crystal stopped, turned to Emily, and smirked. “Tell her that if she returns to her old home, I won’t
demand the three hundred thousand from her anymore.”
Emily paled and whispered, “It wasn’t easy for Lara to be in Barnwood, Mrs. Miller. She can’t go back! If
she does, her life will be over! Please have mercy!”
“She’s the one who can’t move on. It’s her fault,” sneered Crystal.
Emily still wanted to keep begging for mercy when Henry arrived with a frown.
It was difficult to tell how much he overheard.
Emily tried to ask him for help, but he didn’t agree to it and requested her to leave.
Once she did, he leaned against the piano with a half smile. “This is against the law, Mrs. Miller.”
Of course, Crystal knew he was pleading on Lara’s behalf, too.
She lowered her eyes, her heart clenching with pain. “If you feel bad for her, why don’t you find a way
to ensure she won’t show up in front of me and call you again?”
Henry stared at her for seconds before clarifying, “You know I don’t have any ideas about her, so why
do all this?” I just feel she’s being too cruel.
Lara’s past was something he was aware of.
She grew up in a terrible environment, so her life was pretty rough. Therefore, even though he knew
she was romantically attracted to him, he thought that as long as he didn’t reciprocate it, she wouldn’t
be at problem.
In other words, he believed Crystal was overreacting.
Crystal continued to play the piano. After the song ended, she muttered, “I just want to protect the
people. I care about, Henry…”
Once again, Henry gazed at her wordlessly for a long while.
Loosening his tie, he headed upstairs.
After dinner, the couple brought Skyler and Remi to sleep without exchanging a word. Though they
lived. in the same building, they were like strangers to each other, not that Crystal cared anymore.
Deep in the night, they returned to their own rooms.
In the dark corridor, Henry grabbed Crystal’s hand. “Let’s talk!”
The moment he ended his sentence, Crystal’s phone rang, and she answered it.
It was the bodyguard she assigned to watch over Lara. He stammered, “Miss Winters, t-the woman j-
jumped from the third floor and broke her 1-leg!”
Calmly, Crystal replied, “Send her to the hospital and keep your eye on her!”
Henry slapped her phone away. Panicked, he snapped, “What else do you want? She’s already been.
expelled from her school. Are you truly that cold-blooded, Crystal? Are you doing this because
you don’t trust me or because you aren’t confident in your charm? Or is that how our marriage initially
came to be?”
His barrage of questions startled her a bit before she smiled. “Yes, I am cold-blooded! I can’t allow
someone like her to remain in Barnwood, and I don’t care if she’s dead or alive!”
Henry glowered at her, fury burning in his chest.
In response, he reached the end of the corridor and called his assistant before relaying a series of
orders.
While his assistant was surprised, he still executed the orders.
Standing below the corridor light, Crystal heard what he said. So, he wants to restore Lara’s status as a
student, pay for her medical bills, and keep her in Barnwood. God, I’m so tired right now. I feel like
we’re not on the same wavelength at all. The current Henry can never understand the fear and pain I
experience.
Paling under the brilliant crystal light, Crystal texted: Retreat. No need to keep an eye on her anymore.
After Henry ended the call, he turned back and saw Crystal was gone.
All that was left in the fancy corridor was her disappointment.
Henry recalled what he said and realized he was being too harsh.
He didn’t want to worsen his relationship with Crystal and was willing to relent a bit to put Lara’s matter
past them.
Knocking on the bedroom, he exclaimed, “Open the door, Crystal!”
No sound came from within the room.
Clearly, Crystal didn’t want to chat with him.
Patiently, Henry waited for a while before speaking in a nicer tone. “Open the door so we can talk about
it. okay? It’s pretty late at night already. Do you want our elders to be woken up by the noise? Be
sensible, will you, Crystal?”
Ultimately, she still didn’t leave her room.
Henry remained in front of her room for a long time before returning to his bedroom.
Their relationship as a couple had taken a turn for the worst.
As the days went by, they met less and less. Crystal almost didn’t spare him any chance to approach
her, and he was too prideful to admit his wrongdoing.
Deep into the night, he would sexually and emotionally desire her, which informed him that he still
wanted her.
