Henry felt taunted, Instead of feeling angry, he found it interesting.
Crystal snatched the massage cream from him and applied it to her body.
Henry saw her serene facial expression and thought she looked as pretty as a picture.
âYou look so much prettier than her!â he commented abruptly.
Crystal froze momentarily before lifting her leg gently to continue applying the massage cream. Henry checked out her slender legs there and then. He had never seen another pair of legs as alluring as hers.
While staring at her leg, he couldnât help but gulp.
When they got into the car, Crystal sat in the backseat.
With both hands on the steering wheel, Henry asked softly, âMiss Winters, do you take me for your driver?â
Crystal was flipping through a document. When she heard that question, she replied without lifting her head, âI need to go through a document!â
Henry frowned. âYouâre a woman. Why do you have to work so hard to make money?â
Crystal suddenly chuckled. âWell, my husband left this behind for me, so I have to cherish it!â
Annoyed, Henry didnât say anything in response.
Crystal wasnât affected by him, so she continued flipping through her document. The couple remained silent throughout the journey.
The moment they arrived at the Miller residence, Skyler ran over to the car.
Skyler held her motherâs hand and said sweetly, âYou look fabulous, Mommy!â
Crystal squatted down and kissed her. They held each otherâs hands and entered the mansion.
As the winter sunlight shone on her, she looked incredibly elegant in her beige coat and loosely tied hair. That was especially the case when one looked at her from behind. Her waist was so slender that she didnât even look like a woman who had given birth twice.
Ever since Henry returned, he had been enjoying everything Crystal had to offer. Not only was she a caring wife, but she also adored him.
He couldnât help but feel dejected when she gave him the cold shoulder. He still wanted to have sex with her.
Henry didnât follow them into the mansion. Instead, he stood beside the car and lit a cigarette.
Right then, he thought about his relationship with Crystal, and regret soon filled his heart. I shouldnât have said those words that day. I shouldnât have said she treated me as a substitute because sheâs now actually treating me as one!
Henry stubbed out his cigarette, and right when he was about to enter the living room, he saw David bringing Berthold out of the mansion.
David was infuriated when he saw his son. How useless! If he didnât pass his wife off, she wouldnât be staying here all the time!
With a provocative smirk, David teased, âOh? I thought you could endure the loneliness! Whatâs the matter? Are you finally willing to visit your wife and children? Are you not interested in the girl in the law firm anymore?â
Henry felt as though he was being attacked.
He chuckled wryly. âDad, itâs not like that!â
David stared fixedly at his son. âYou listen carefully. If you cheat on Crystal, she will dump you! That doesnât bother me because I already have my grandchildren. Feel free to do whatever you want!â
Henry furrowed his brows. âIâm not going to cheat on her!â
âThat better be the case!â
David led Berthold to the other side of the mansion to bask in the sun according to the doctorâs advice.
That evening, Henry didnât see much of Crystal.
He didnât want to appear desperate, so he only went to the childrenâs room right before he was about to head to bed.
Skyler and Remi were sleeping in the same room.
At that time, Remi was already sleeping soundly, and Skyler was taking a shower in the bathroom.
When Henry entered the room, Crystal had just finished nursing the kid and hadnât yet pulled her wool dress down.
Needless to say, the atmosphere turned awkward immediately.
Henry approached her and asked softly, âDoes the engorgement of your breast make you uncomfortable?â
âIâll pump it out and leave it for Remi to drink tomorrow morning.â Crystal replied expressionlessly.
âLet me help you.â
Crystal couldnât believe how shameless he was. Weâre still fighting, but he seems eager to get intimate with me! How can he think about that when he isnât even putting effort into this relationship?
Judging by the sounds Crystal heard coming from inside the bathroom, she knew Skyler wouldnât be coming out anytime soon.
She wrapped her arms around Henryâs neck and whispered, âAre you having trouble suppressing your lustful desires?â
Indeed, Henry looked aroused.
He put his arm around her waist and inched closer to her. âYou go to the gym and take care of your skin well. Mrs. Miller, dare you say youâre not trying to seduce me?â
Crystal kissed him, alternating between deep and shallow kisses to stir up his desires. She then leaned on his shoulder and smiled faintly. âItâs actually so that I can marry a better man.â
She reached out and traced his nose with her finger Henry remained silent.
âAfter all, I have two kids. If I canât make a man fall in love with me, my life will be tough! Henry, teach me how to make a man fall for me.â Crystal ran her slender finger down his chest. âIs this the way to capture a manâs heart?â
Henry was sweating bullets. âWhere did you learn this, Mrs. Miller?â he asked in a hoarse voice.
Crystal pushed him away and started buttoning her shirt. She lifted her gaze, flipped her curly brown hair, and flashed a faint smile. âI learned it from my husband!â
Henryâs anger sparked, but he was so aroused that he couldnât think straight.
Just then, a sound rang out from the bathroom, indicating that Skyler was done with her shower.
Crystal said in a serious tone, âHenry, I wonât sleep with you again until you learn to respect our marriage.â As soon as she said that walked out of the bathroom.
She was naked and wet all over.
Crystal quickly walked up to her daughter with a towel and gently wrapped her She went on to wipe Skyler dry, put on a set of pajamas for her, and dimmed the lights in the childrenâs room. After that, she leaned against the headboard and read Skyler a bedtime story. However, Skyler was only interested in her motherâs scent.
Usually, Crystal would feed Skyler before putting her to sleep.
With Henry present, however, Crystal could only pat Skylerâs back, and the child fell asleep in no time.
Seeing that, Henry walked over and bent down to kiss Skyler. In a grumbling tone, he asked Crystal, âAre you going to sleep here every day?â
At that moment, the room was bathed in a warm, golden glow.
Crystal glanced at him and replied calmly, âIâve never asked about where you sleep at night, have I? Henry, I hope youâll get rid of Lara yourself. Otherwise, Iâll go after her!â
Henry sat on the edge of the bed. Sheâs so gentle and seductive. I must admit that she totally enchants me, and Iâm willing to do whatever I can to please her....
