Chapter 106 The Cold Shoulder

Henry could tell she was really mad..

He inched closer and whispered into her car, “Is it worth making a fuss over someone insignificant?

It was late. Crystal did not want to argue with him any longer.

Her attitude softened and she gently held onto his waist. “I believe you.” Then she closed her eyes to rest, her breathing gradually becoming steady.

Henry’s drowsiness dissipated.

Bathed in the moonlight, he gazed at her delicate face and softly gritted his teeth.

Crystal had drifted off to sleep.

After the argument, it seemed she did not want to communicate with him or resolve the issues.

That caused Henry to become irritable.

Since she had chosen to keep her distance from him, he saw no need to coax her either.

When he woke up the next morning, he found himself alone in bed.

Crystal was not there anymore.

Outside the room, the faint sound of someone carrying out household chores could be heard.

Henry lay there, recalling the events of the previous night. He felt his relationship with Crystal had taken an unexpected turn.

There should not have been any arents between them.

Once Henry realized that, he stopped dwelling on it. He got up, freshened up, and changed into his formal attire–a light gray shirt, black trousers, and a trench coat.

As he wore his wristwatch, he walked out. Crystal was setting the table.

The morning light bathed her in a soft glow, giving her an exceptionally gentle appearance. However, Henry had witnessed Crystal’s temper the previous night. The gentlest animals can bite too.

Henry sat down, sipping his coffee and reading the morning paper.

Crystal had made him a chicken sandwich for breakfast.

Henry took a bite of the sandwich and relished the flavor, finding it even more delicious than

those sold in cafes. He cast an intent gaze upon it.
