Chapter 125: Chapter 125

Chapter 125 I Never Touched Her Crystal bit her lip.

What a shameless man!

At the same time, she felt quite sad. To be honest, Henry did not give a hoot about Audrey or her.

He simply enjoyed her body.

As of now, he was still interested in her, and that was why he was willing to coax her.

As for Audrey, he looked down on her, perhaps even hated her. However, he kept her at arm’s length, occasionally letting her come closer to give her a slither of hope. It was as if he was toying with her!

Upon arriving at that thought, Crystal felt calm.

She replied coolly, “We’ll talk when you get back!”

For a moment, Henry stared at her back before he left.

Audrey, who had been waiting for him at the door, was pale.

She had seen everything.

It was obvious Henry cared a lot about Crystal from the way he coaxed her. In the past, all these belonged to Audrey. From what she witnessed with her own eyes, she realized that Henry’s heart now belonged to someone else.

Even so, Audrey refused to give up.

She said softly, “Why don’t you come over to my place for a drink?”

Henry did not reply until he was inside the car. “Audrey, I won’t deny that your recent antics of pursuing me are thrilling for a man, but we both know that it’s just for fun. It means nothing!”

Audrey’s face paled.

Henry then lit a cigarette.

He puffed out a ring of smoke and looked at her.

“What we had was in the past. There’s nothing between the both of us anymore! Even though we’ve parted ways, I’m still friends with Mr. Quinn, so please don’t make things difficult, Audrey.”

Audrey’s lips trembled.

“Is it because of Crystal? Are you in love with her?”

He said nothing in response. There was no need for him to share his private life with Audrey.

After a long moment of silence, Audrey chuckled.

“Henry, I wish you all the best.”

Crystal thought that Henry would stay out all night. After all, he was with his ex–lover, and that was Audrey’s intention for visiting as well.

To her surprise, Henry came back home around one in the morning.

At that time, Crystal was already deep asleep.

He removed his coat before embracing her from behind and nibbling her neck.

His hands began to explore her body, causing Crystal to groan response.

Henry asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you feeling better?”

Crystal grabbed his hands to stop him.

“It still hurts.”

Henry was restless. Even though he had satisfied himself the other night, a hot–blooded young man like him would want it every night.

He could not help but want to kiss her.

Crystal was troubled, so she turned her head away. She sounded like she was about to burst into tears as she protested, “Henry... I’m sleepy.... Stop it... Henry, I don’t feel like it!”

She finally blurted out her true feelings. Henry leaned on one arm and looked down at her.

He knew what was bothering her, His dark, inky eyes stared at her for a while. In the end, he could not help but rub his nose with hers.

“Crystal, I’ve never touched her. Not in the past and certainly not now.”

Crystal was embarrassed and furious that her concern had been exposed. She looked away and said, “How do I know that?”

Thankfully, Henry was in a good mood that night.

He nibbled the tip of her button nose, finding it adorable.

“I have a way to prove it. Miss Winters, do you want to give it a try?” teased Henry.

He then grabbed her hand and brought it to his lower region.

Crystal let out a soft shrick and tried to struggle.

Her futile attempt to resist only made it more enticing for him.

He continued to taunt her, “Now you know. I didn’t use it on other women. I have been saving it for you, Miss Winters. Let me know when you will be willing. hmm?”

Crystal was about to burst into tears.

Her nose started to turn red.

Henry leaned closer to her car and made a shameless request in a husky voice.

Crystal refused, but he was not letting up. In the end, she caved.

In the midst of their passion, his phone rang.

Although there was no caller ID, Crystal could guess that it was Audrey.

She turned her back toward him and said softly. “Answer it!”

Henry took one look at his phone before hanging up. He then turned his phone off.

Afterward, he did not attempt to bully her anymore. Instead, he just hugged her from the back.

“From now on, I won’t see her again. We’ll go back to how we were before, okay?”

There was no response from Crystal.

Then again, he had been on his best behavior that night, and she fancied him too. It was hard for her not to be moved since he was giving in to her.

Nevertheless, she maintained her dignity and did not respond.

However, when he started fondling her body again, she did not turn him down....

Life became hectic for Crystal after that.

Things between Henry and her seemed to reach an impasse. He hardly ever went to social gatherings anymore. Even if he did not come home, he was busy at work.

As for Audrey, it was as if she had disappeared from their lives, Crystal behaved indifferently toward Henry.

Two nights ago when he wanted to have sex with her, she did not push him away. She allowed him to enjoy himself, but she was less enthusiastic in bed.

Henry only slept with her once that night.

After the deed, he leaned back against the headboard for a cigarette and said nothing.

However, his eyes told a different story.

Crystal felt like she had nowhere to hide..

Ever since Audrey returned, their lovemaking had not been the same.

Soon, the music center was about to open, and Crystal received several gifts. Boxes of various colors adorned her table.

Crystal took her time and opened up all the presents before recording them down.

In the future, she would have to return the favors..

While Crystal was reaching for a golden–glazed box, she noticed the familiar–looking handwriting.

She looked again and saw that the gift was from Henry.

Crystal was astonished that he would send his present to the music center. Then again, it was a lovely surprise. Any woman would be pleased.

She opened the present up gently.

Initially, she thought it was some jewelry. The gift turned out to be a pair of butterfly specimens that were a thousand years old.

There was a distinct difference in the sizes of the two butterflies.

One should be a male, and the other should be a female.

Judging from the bright colors and animated posture of the specimens, they had been well- preserved. They were definitely rare to come by.

The present came with a card.

Crystal opened it up, and there was only one sentence.

A gift for my little Morning Dew.

In the end, Crystal was a young lady, after all. Although she was still disappointed and guarded against him, it was difficult for her not to be thrilled with such a thoughtful gift and sweet words.

As she ran her fingers across the card, she could feel the resistance in her melting away.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Henry.

After a moment of hesitation, Crystal answered the call.

Henry’s gentle voice rang out. “Have you received my present? Do you like it?”

Crystal answered with a hum.

“These butterflies existed during the ice age, and this is the last pair of specimens left. Henry, how did you know I liked this when I was in high school?”

To that, Henry chuckled.

At that moment, he was seated in his office and idly twirling his leather chair.

He did no answer her question. Instead, he said, “Do you want to have dinner at the condominium tonight? The mansion has sent some food over. We’ll have some red wine together. How about that?”

Crystal was not an innocent little girl.

It was obvious that Henry’s invitation was a prelude to something more intimate, and he wanted her to be more passionate about it as well.
