Chapter 130 Compromise.

Crystal angrily kicked him.

Henry doubled over in pain, and Crystal took the chance to walk out of the bedroom, dragging her suitcase behind her.

With his long legs, Henry managed to reach her in two long strides. He grabbed her hand just as she was reaching the door.

Henry gazed at her intensely. “Are you really going to leave?”

Crystal cast her eyes downwards.

“Let go of me!” she insisted.

Henry lowered his head, leaning closer to her. His tone was soft with a touch of surrender when he said, “There’s food. Let’s eat together!”

Crystal knew his ways.

Whenever Henry wanted to coax a woman, he would use gentleness, and it had always worked in his favor.

Time and time again, Crystal had found herself seduced by his tender affection, unable to pull herself away. In the end, she realized that it was all just a game for him, and she was the only one who had taken it seriously.

Crystal chuckled at her own foolishness.

“I don’t want to eat! I’m not hungry!”

Henry furrowed his brows lightly, but he did not let go of her hand.

As they remained locked in this stalemate, the doorbell rang.

Crystal could easily guess who was outside the door. Who else could it be if not Audrey!

She smirked. “Henry, there’re plenty of people out there who would kill just to have a meal with. you. There’s no need for you to beg for my time!”

Henry griued his teeth angrily.

He released her hand.

Crystal took a deep breath and opened the door.

As she had expected, Audrey stood outside, holding a wrapped gift in her hands.

She took in the suitcase trailing behind Crystal, and her sla nted, foxy eyes widened innocently. She seemed genuinely surprised.

“Miss Winters, I’ve come to apologize to you. It’s my fault that you and Henry had an argument. I’m sorry! Did… Did I cause trouble in your relationship?”

Audrey’s false concern and fake sweet tone disgusted Crystal.

She walked past the other woman, ignoring her presence, and headed toward the elevator. Henry’s displeased voice called out behind her, “Crystal!”

They had a heated argument the night before.
