Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 133 Your Benefactor Is Somebody Else

Witnessing Robert suffer a blow to the heart, Henry could feel his boiling rage subsiding.

Just then, Susan began serving dessert at the dining table.

Having been taking care of Henry ever since the man was still a baby, she had always doted on him- “Where’s Miss Winters, by the way? Why didn’t you bring her home with you, Mr. Miller?”

Henry’s finger froze for a fleeting moment when those words reached his ears.

After taking a mouthful of the dessert, he replied, “It’s too late. She’s gone to bed.”

Susan bobbed her head and exchanged a meaningful gaze with Julia before walking away.

Julia then tried to glean more information from Henry, only to receive nothing more than

diplomatic answers from her son. No matter what, letting his mother pry into his personal affairs was the last thing Henry wanted.

Robert, for one, could read the room pretty well himself.

A chuckle escaped him. “Did you have a tiff with Miss Winters, Henry?”

That drove Henry to put down the dessert.

“Robert, it seems like Sloan Group’s last distress hasn’t been able to keep you busy,” he remarked with a condescending demeanor.

Robert’s mien became as grim as death on the spot.

No longer did Henry have the mood to continue eating. With that, he leaped up from his seat and went upstairs.

“Henry!” cried out Melora unwittingly. “You seem to have a prejudice against Robert.”

Henry wheeled around, his frosty gaze landing on Robert.

“Is it? I didn’t even notice it! Maybe he’ll know better.”

Robert’s expression darkened even further at that response. Narrowing his eyes to slits, he observed that all-around man.

He clear didn’t get on Crystal’s good side. Well, to think that he’s accustomed to having women dancing attendance on him day in and day out. Of course, it’ll irk him for stumbling upon such a tough nut to c rack like Crystal.

Robert recalled the scene at the club the other day, where Henry had acted as though he had not qualms about fooling around.

Ha! He must’ve never thought that he’d end up falling for her for real!

Not a split second would Robert spend to nurse a grudge against that poor, lovelorn man.

He left the Miller Residence and hopped into the car. Once again, he could not help checking the calendar.

In two days’ time, I’ll finally be meeting Crystal. I can already imagine how surprised she’ll be to see me! I can barely wait to lay eyes on that vibrant, adorable look on her face!

At that thought. Robert could not stop himself from stroking the steering wheel.
