Chapter 113: Chapter 113

Chapter 113 She Has Me Behind Her Zachary’s words brought silence upon the private room.

Someone gave him a nudge. “Enough, Zachary, Go pick up Madison. It’s unbecoming for men to argue with women, isn’t it?”

Having had a lot to drink, Zachary was tongue–tied.

He just refused to accept what was going on. “All I’m doing is have a good time with a girl. Madison isn’t even complaining, so who gave someone like Crystal the right to do so? Who does she think she is?”

The room was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Henry let out a chuckle.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin before getting to his feet. “I’m leaving Someone persuaded, “Please stay, Mr. Miller. Zachary had too much to drink and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Why don’t we punish him by getting him to down three shots?”

Flashing a smug smile at Zachary, who had fully regained his senses, Henry said in a nonchalant tone. “You were asking just now who Crystal thought she was, weren’t you? Let me tell you, she has me behind her! I can’t even bring myself to raise my voice at her, so who are you to criticize her?”

Only then did Zachary realize what was going on.

A smirk subsequently emerged on Henry’s face. “Honestly, I had no intention of coming today, but I decided to do so on the account that Madison is close to Crystal. Fine. Since you’re not going after her, I’ll take Madison home on your behalf.”

Henry left the moment he finished.

A long silence prevailed in the room until someone patted Zachary on his shoulder. “You better go apologize to Mr. Miller. Not that I want to lecture you, Zachary, but you can’t take thuse women seriously regardless of how sexy they are. Clementine has a terrible reputation, so you better not do anything foolish. Otherwise, you’ll just end up as a laughingstock in everyone’s eyes.”

Zachary gave his face a wipe, and having regained his senses, he asked hesitantly, “What about Henry’s feelings for Crystal?”

I don’t suppose he’s serious about her?

Henry was known to be a workaholic and someone who wasn’t keen on marriage. He refused to believe that Crystal had captured Henry’s heart.

Zachary’s question elicited laughter from others in the room.

“Whether Mr. Miller will end up with Crystal is one thing, but his feelings for her are obvious to all. Have you ever seen him publicly put someone down? Or defend the honor of another woman? I’m sure you haven’t, so, my friend, congratulations on what you have done!”

Zachary set out in pursuit of Madison.

In the end, he found Crystal and Madison in a bar.

There was no sign of Henry at all, a realization that infuriated Zachary I’ve been had!

Now that he had found them, there was no way he could abandon his wife. He went over and patted Madison on the shoulder.

“Whatever it is, we can discuss it at home. Doing so in front of our friends is embarrassing.”

Madison was in the midst of washing her face when her husband’s voice caused her to freeze.

Zachary continued in an awkward voice, “Didn’t I tell you that I was just having some fun? Your status as my wife will never change.”

Madison finished washing her hands slowly, her eyes red.

She replied calmly. “Whatever it is, we’ll talk when we get home. I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of my friend.”

When Crystal showed her concern, Madison responded with a wry smile.

“Crystal, I hope you won’t think less of me after this. Do invite me out for lunch whenever you’re free.”

Her words caused a sense of sorrow to wash over Crystal.

She felt the urge to tell Zachary to treat Madison better but just couldn’t bring herself to do so.

After cheating on her time and again, he’s truly hopeless.

Crystal drove home.

The gloominess she felt caused her to stop at the ground floor of her condominium for a long time before turning off the engine and heading up.

Even though it wasn’t nine yet, Henry was already home.

He was sitting on the couch, watching TV, seemingly waiting for her.

When Crystal looked up at him, he patted the seat beside him.

“What’s wrong, Miss Winters?”

Crystal sat down and leaned against him.

Truth be told. Henry had heard what she said earlier over Zachary’s phone. He noticed that Crystal had many sides. In front of him, she would always blush and fumble around nervously. But when it was time to give Zachary a dressing down, she would unleash her fiery rage on him.

The feistiness in her was something he couldn’t deny.

Initially, his plan was to celebrate her birthday on Saturday before making love with her, but now, he didn’t feel like waiting any longer.

When he pinned Crys on the couch and began to kiss her, she wasn’t in the mood. However, he managed to easily ignite the desire within her by pressing all the right buttons.

Soon, their clothes were strewn across the floor.

With passion brimming in her eyes, Crystal allowed herself to be swept up in the moment.

The look on her face fanned the flames of lust in Henry.

All of a sudden, Henry’s ringing phone interrupted the amorous air that had saturated the room.

Although Henry wasn’t bothered by its incessant ringing. Crystal was too distracted by it that she gently pushed him away. “Your phone...”

“Ignore it.” Henry kissed her with increasing intensity, yet the phone continues to ring stubbornly.

Finally, Crystal pecked him on the lips and suggested. “Answer the call first. We’ll continue later.”

Henry looked at her intensely before releasing her and turning around to pick up his phone.

“Mr. Quinn, it’s me, Henry.”

Crystal put Henry’s shirt on and returned to the master bedroom.

No sooner had she taken a few steps than Henry wrapped his arm around her slender waist. As he casually let his fingers wander around her body, Crystal fell into his embrace from feeling ticklish.

He looked down at her.

Unable to resist his handsome looks and the masculine air he exuded, Crystal planted a kiss on his chin. While doing so, she felt a sting from the stubble that had grown on his chin.

Henry stared at her as he continued speaking with Joshua.

In an excited voice, Joshua said, “Henry, I’ve found the middleman for the jewelry! Now that I’ve done so, finding my child will be much easier.”

Stroking Crystal’s lips gently, Henry broke into a faint smile. “Congratulations, Mr. Quinn.”

However, Joshua let out a sigh as his mood suddenly dampened.

“Unfortunately, that person met an accident two days ago and is now in a coma. Henry, I’m really afraid that he’ll become a vegetable. If it comes to that, I won’t be able to find Krystal, let alone my child.

Suddenly, Henry gasped when Crystal gently bit his finger.

Over the line, Joshua furrowed his brows curiously. “Is something wrong, Henry?”

Henry chuckled in response. “I was just bitten by a cat. Anyway, Mr. Quinn, don’t you worry. Ill get the best specialists to treat him. We’ll make sure that he regains consciousness as soon as possible so that you and Krystal can be reunited.”

The mention of the topic clicited a sigh from Joshua again.

“After so many years, I’m not even sure if she’s married. Henry, I just want to see her and see how she’s doing, and also the child... I have a strong feeling it’s a girl. Henry... Henry, are you still listening?”

Henry was all tensed up from Crystal’s seductive moves.

He breathed as gently as possible while suppressing his growing lust.

“I am, Mr. Quinn.”

Joshua mumbled to himself, “Come to think of it, the child should be twenty–four this year, an age where she should be considering marriage.”

As Henry had his way with Crystal, he was amused that he could comfort Joshua at the same time. “Mr. Quinn, considering how pretty Krystal is, I’m sure her daughter would be equally stunning. Who knows, she might already be married and have her own children.”

Joshua was heartened by the words.

“I was still worried about her meeting a jerk over the last few days. I’m relieved you said that.”

“Henry... are you there? Henry?”
