Chapter 289: Chapter 289 She Just Wants To Hurt Him.

An hour later, the car arrived at the mansion they used to reside. There wasn’t anyone inside, and the housekeepers had gone on vacation.

Henry unbuckled his seatbelt before dragging Crystal down the car.

Crystal refused to get down, so he carried her like a princess, ignoring her attempts to try to break free.

As he ambled into the building, he turned on the lights, illuminating the mansion.

After arriving at their bedroom, he tossed Crystal onto the bed.

Her squishy body bounced lightly on the soft bed. Just as she tried to flee, her arms were. pinned to the bed by Henry.

In his eyes, she was particularly beautiful at that moment because she was enraged. The way she looked and she breathed heavily looked extremely enticing to him.

Henry was acting pretty impulsively because he was provoked by Robert in addition to his naturally strong sexual urge. With one hand, he clutched Crystal’s wrists. Meanwhile, he gripped her chin with another hand, forcing a kiss on her.

His intense sexual desire poured into the steamy, overwhelming kiss.

Crystal didn’t want any of it, so she vigorously shook her head, attempting to avoid his kiss. “Don’t touch me, Henry!”

Panting, Henry lifted his body and spat, “We’re married. Why can’t I touch you?”

Crystal struggled so much that she was feeling drained.

Her body sunk into the soft mattress, and she muttered, “Because I’m disgusted with you!”

Henry was stunned, gazing at the woman beneath him, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing. She’s... disgusted with me? Doesn’t she love me?

Crystal’s lips trembled, and her nose reddened, but she insisted on holding back her tears. “If you had loved me even just a little bit, you would’ve known how much Audrey had harmed. me and Skyler, Henry! Skyler almost lost her life! Yet, you’re tending to her sister now! Your abandoned your family during Christmas and stayed in the mountain area for days! Mr. Miller, oh, Mr. Miller.

You sure are a charming man. Women are willing to give up for you!”

In response, Henry released her, and he slowly backed away before sitting down on her lower legs.

An urge to smoke arose in his mind.

Henry stared at Crystal for a while before asking, “If women are willing to throw their lives. away for me, what about you? Who am I in your heart?”

There was only a single thought in Crystal’s noggin as she lay on the big bed. I just want to hurt you!

Smirking, she said, “Haven’t you been dying to know how you compare to him’ in my heart? Well, I’ll tell you. You’re not even half as good as the Henry I knew! In fact, you don’t even deserve that apartment and the memories I share with him! Truth be told, I really hate the fact that you’re occupying his body!”

Henry froze before rage exploded in his heart. Even though she’s lying on my bed, she dares to enrage me!

Leaning toward her, he gently traced his finger from her head to her abdomen and sneered, “You don’t seem to hate our sex.

After all, you still moaned like crazy and were immersed in pleasure. Why are you acting all high-and-mighty, Mrs. Miller?”

Crystal’s chest rose and fell heavily.

Sitting up, she patted his handsome mug and mocked, “Yes, it was great! However, I don’t want it anymore.”

“Really?”

Glowering, Henry kissed her lips and said, “Your body doesn’t seem to agree with your words.”

He was furious she said that to him.

At that moment, Crystal’s phone rang.

It was from Skyler, and she spoke the moment the call connected. “Mommy, when are you coming home with Daddy?”

Crystal pushed her hair away before turning her back.

Her soft voice sounded a bit broken as she said. “I’ll be back soon!”

Skyler continued, “I want Daddy to read me fairytales!”

“Mhm.” Crystal lowered her voice. “I miss you.”

“I miss you too, Mommy!” answered Skyler, smiling sweetly.

Henry was watching from the side. It’s like she just turned into another person. The way she treats me and Skyler is vastly different.

Henry was still bothered by her words earlier, so he lost interest in having sex with her and lay on the bed with his shoes still on.

Improperly, he smoked without saying a word...

Crystal proposed, “Let’s tidy up and go home.”

Henry understood her intention that they should collect themselves before returning home, treating each other as coldly as before. It was to prevent their elders and children from noticing their quarrel.

Spitting out a ring of smoke, he asked, “Aren’t you tired, Crystal?”

“I am!” exclaimed Crystal. “However, I don’t have any choice. If possible, I’ll choose freedom. too.” I’ve too much burden on me.

Aside from Henry, there is still so much that I’m unwilling to let Standing up, she changed into a wool dress in the walk-in closet. When she exited it, Henry sneered, “What? Are you afraid of my parents seeing you in that outfit?”

Crystal lifted her hair, responding casually, “If you like it, I’ll wear it every day.”

That ticked Henry off. What the f*ck!

However, she was already heading outside. “We’ll return home half an hour later.”

After she descended the stairs, she turned off the lights and sat before Morning Dew. Closing her eyes, she played Moonlight Lovers.

Moonlight reflected on Crystal’s gentle countenance. She wore an expression of sorrow with tears welling at the corner of her eye.

Is she crying? Henry stared at her on the staircase.

Earlier, he suspected that she still had feelings for Robert. However, at that moment, he was certain she was deeply in love with the past version of “Henry Miller”.

It made him feel jealous and very uncomfortable.

However, he couldn’t peel his eyes away from her because she looked brilliant while playing. the piano.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a starry night, but its beauty couldn’t be to hers.

Crystal continued to give Henry the cold shoulder.

They were busy after Christmas, and neither of them wanted to break the ice.

When February arrived, the weather turned warm.

Crystal was sitting in the office when Edith delivered her a bouquet with a smile. “There are flowers for you, Miss Winters!”

Instead of lifting her head, Crystal ordered, “Throw it into the trashcan.”

Edith coughed. “We’ve taken care of Mr. Sloan’s flowers. This is from Mr. Miller.”

In response, Crystal glanced at her assistant. “Let me take a look!”

In response, Edith settled the bouquet on the desk.

Staring at the champagne-colored roses wordlessly, Crystal removed the card inside it, which had a sentence written on it.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Mrs. Miller!”

It’s Valentine’s Day already? Feeling morose, Crystal stared at Edith. “Announce to everyone that they’re allowed to leave the office two hours earlier than usual so they can celebrate. Valentine’s Day.”

Edith smiled. “You’re so nice, Miss Winters! Everyone will definitely be delighted to hear that!”

Crystal nodded before gesturing for her assistant to leave.

After that, she read the newspaper at the side. The headline featured Henry winning a big case in Hulcaster.

In the picture, he was smiling and holding a champagne glass at the celebratory banquet.

Then, her phone buzzed because she received a WhatsApp message from him: Crystal, I really want to share this joyous moment with you!
