Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 13 8 Have You No Shame.

Colors drained from Crystal’s face.

Henry reached out to touch her face, but she instinctively took a step back.

In the end, he put his hand down.

“No matter what, you’re hurt. My heart aches for you, Crystal, so please let me take care of you.”

Crystal listened quietly while staring at him expressionlessly. “Mr. Miller, do I really have to make myself clear? I know you like me to some extent, but that’s it. Whenever something happened to Audrey, you would go to her without hesitation, completely disregarding my feelings. You didn’t even care whether I was heartbroken or sad or lying on an operating table.”

Crystal forced a smile despite the heart-wrenching pain in her chest as she continued, “Mr. Miller, I can’t afford to love a man like you!”

Henry approached and cradled her head, attempting to kiss her and hoping to salvage their relationship that way.

At the very least, he wanted to remind her of the intimacy and affection they once shared.

Crystal was stunned.

His tender actions caused her body to stiffen, and even her heart was turning numb from the pain.

As newfound strength surged within her, she pushed him away.

“Henry Miller, have you no shame? Am I, Crystal Winters, a lowly ser vant at your beck and call? If you just want to sleep with a woman, you can h o ok up with as many women as you like. With your qualifications, women will throw themselves at you. You don’t have to cling to me like this.”

Henry’s gaze darkened. “Do you think all I want is to sleep with you?”

Crystal’s lips trembled as she retorted, “What else do you want? Are you planning to marry me, then?”

Henry’s breathing turned slightly labored.

He clenched his fists in silence. The standstill lasted for a long while before he uttered in slight exhaustion, “Crystal, I don’t plan to get married because marriage isn’t one of the milestones in life I aim to achieve, not because I’m toying with you.”

Crystal lowered her gaze and chuckled. “Don’t worry, I don’t plan on intruding into you either.”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand to close the door, but Henry stopped her.

Furrowing his brows slightly, he said, “You are more important than Audrey to me!”
