Chapter 154 Give It A Try
The farce came to an end.
Crystal briskly walked out of the cafe.
Her relationship with Ritchie was over, but she got herself into bigger trouble.
Henry took a few quick steps and grabbed her wrist. “Crystal!”
Crystal bit her lip lightly. “You’re crazy!”
It was so embarrassing! He was so… Ritchie and I can’t become husband and wife, but we could at least be on nodding terms. He’s made things awkward.
Henry was angry as well.
Forcefully, he pressed Crystal against the car.
He brushed her cheek with his slender fingers and whispered in a dangerous tone. “Do you feel
for him! Crystal, I’ve watched you guys getting close these days, and you don’t feel sorry for
sorry me?”
Clearly, he was jealous.
He gently pinched her chin and asked, “Did you kiss him?”
Crystal was so livid that she slapped him.
After that, she lifted her face slightly and waited for him to strike back. She knew Henry had a bad temper.
Henry was indeed angry
but there was no way he would hit a woman.
He touched his face and flashed a smile. “Crystal, I’ve told you before. You only know how to
cross me!”
They had been apart for quite a while. As their bodies pressed against each other, he could not help to tease her gently.
“Crystal, let’s give it a try!”
With that, he kissed her neck.
The touch of his lips on her snowy white skin made it blush with a faint pink hue, which looked incredibly beautiful.
Crystal’s body stiffened.
Even though Henry had mentioned it to her before, she had been unwilling to think about it, even afraid to do so. Now that he had brought it up again, Crystal had no choice but to take it seriously.
She gently pushed him away and murmured, “Henry, it’s impossible between us anymore.”
Henry took a step back, looking at her vulnerable state with his deep eyes.
“Why? Weren’t we happy together? Did you really have feelings for Ritchie?”
Crystal slowly straightened her body.
She looked into his eyes and said firmly, “Even without Ritchie, there would be someone else! Henry, it was you who didn’t want me in the first place. Now, just because you want to give it a try, am I supposed to gratefully come back to you? If I were to do that, I would be looking down on myself!” She took a deep breath. “We’re done! Don’t come looking for me anymore and don’t do any of those weird things, or else—”
Henry chuckled softly.
He lowered his head and lit a cigarette. “Or else what? Are you going to sue me for sexual harassment?”
Crystal’s anger sparked.
She opened the car door, intending to get in, but her arm was caught by him.
Henry blew a cloud of smoke toward her and said, “Miss Winters, 1 did you a favor and you didn’t even say thank you. How heartless!”
Crystal knew his ways all too well.
She shook off his hand, got into the car, and drove away.
Henry stood there, smoking quietly.
Ritchie came out and had a brief encounter with him.
Henry narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, he let out a snort, got i
Crystal had broken up with Ritchie.
She called Anna and informed her about the situation.
his car, and drove away.
Anna/remained silent for a moment and then said, “If he’s not the right person, then there’s no need to push it.”
“Mm.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
On the other side of the phone, Anna hesitated to speak.
She had received a call from Rayna. No doubt that Rayna had vented her anger and spoke about
Henry. However, since Crystal did not bring it up, Anna did not inquire further.
Crystal hung up the phone.
She suddenly felt empty, so she decided to tidy up her condominium and lit a scented candle.
The night grew silent.
She thought about her troubled love life and poured herself a glass of red wine.
Initially, it was just a casual drink, but she was feeling so down that she could not help drinking more and more.
When she was slightly tipsy, Ritchie called her.
Crystal thought for a moment and decided to answer the call.
“Crystal…” Ritchie’s voice was quite h oa rse. After contemplating for a while, he asked in a low voice, “Crystal, is there really no chance for us to be together?”
Crystal remained silent.
She knew Ritchie was going through a tough time.
Her relationship with him did not end well, but she was willing to offer him some kindness.
He chuckled bitterly, then lowered his voice and said somewhat dejectedly. “Well, Crystal, I might be
getting engaged. She’s from my mother’s side of the family.”
Crystal did not expect it to happen so soon.
However, she was not naive. She quickly figured out that this girl had likely been around all along. Ritchie had resisted previously, but he accepted the engagement after this incident.
Crystal congratulated him.
Ritchie could not help but think that perhaps Crystal had never truly liked him.
He was merely there at the right moment, filling the void in her life after her breakup with Henry. He had never truly touched her heart.
Crystal hang up the phone.
Her mood worsened. She wasn’t sad, but rather, she could not understand why she was still single given her good looks and personality when even Ritchie had a fiancée now.
Nothing is working out for me!
Late into the night, thinking that she would be safe at home, Crystal got drunk.
The condominium door clicked open.
Henry, looking elegant, walked in with a freshly cut key in his hand.
Inside the cozy little abode, the heater was turned up high.
A scented candle was lit, filling the room with a pleasant aroma of oranges.
Crystal was dressed in soft cotton cow-print pajamas and was slumbering on the couch. Her head was slightly tilted, her eyes were closed, and her enticing red lips were slightly parted.
Henry’s body tensed up.
It had been too long since he had had any relief. Just witnessing this scene was unbearable for him.
He was not the type of man to deny himself physically. He wanted her and wanted to start anew with her. He could not help but think that by possessing her and sleeping with her, he could alleviate his me ntal burden.
Henry took off his thin wool coat, revealing his business suit underneath.
He gently unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, exposing his Adam’s apple.
He walked over and leaned over Crystal’s body, one hand supporting himself on the couch while the other cupped her face.
With her lips slightly parted, she exhaled the mellow scent of red wine.
Henry felt that if he held back any longer, he would not be considered a man.
Taking advantage of that nature, he lowered his head and kissed her passionately for a while. Thinking
it was not enough, he could not resist tightly embracing her body again.
She’s so soft… After drinking, she became so well-behaved and obedient.
Henry kissed her and softly called out her name, “Crystal…
Crystal was drunk, but not completely dead drunk.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Henry’s handsome face up close. His chin was slightly lifted, his eyes were partially closed, and his face was tinged with a faint blush. He looked se xy.
Crystal could not resist touching his handsome face.
“Crystal…” Henry’s body trembled.
If it were in the past, Crystal would have been moved. However, she could not forget that night in the hospital. While the cold machines stirred inside her body so painfully, he was not there by her side.
Crystal felt weak.
“How did you get in? Henry, we’re exes from a long time ago! I just broke up with Ritchie, and even if I were to sleep with someone, it wouldn’t be you!”
She kicked him with her foot, refusing to give in.
It was a critical situation for Henry.
Her kick almost rendered the Miller family extinct for generations to come.
Henry grabbed her delicate calf, gazed at her, and uttered, “What’s so enjoyable about a loser like Ritchie? How could he ever make you happy as I do? Besides, am I not your only man?”
