Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Are You Jealous.

Crystal was livid, for Henry was speaking boldly in front of an elder.

She got to her feet and nodded at Julia. “I have some business to deal with, Mrs. Miller. I’ll be off now.”

Julia’s expression instantly darkened into a scowl.

Is this how my son handles relationships? Women need to be treated gently. How could he be so rude as soon as he met her? He was never this graceless.

Softly, Julia urged, “Henry, give Crys a lift.”

Crystal curled her lips into a polite smile. “I drove here.”

Hearing that, Henry did not bother to change her mind.

He set the glass down in a dignified manner. “There’ll be a short meeting at the firm tomorrow. It’s about John’s case. Is the defendant attending or…

Of course, Crystal would not let her father attend the meeting for fear it might agitate him. Even if she knew Henry had ulterior motives, she had no choice but to give in.

That was exactly what Henry wanted.

“I’ll see you at the firm tomorrow,” he said expressionlessly.

Crystal left in a hurry.

When she was out of earshot, Julia reprimanded, “You can’t do this, Henry! That’s not the way to pursue women! What were you thinking? Is this a date at the firm?”

Henry merely smiled.

He would never tell his mother about the obstacles he had faced with Crystal.

Standing up elegantly, he offered, “I’ll send you home.”

His exceptional looks and elegance were sure to have attracted many glances from countless women.

The thought of that filled Julia with pride and sorrow,

“You’re a great person, Henry. How are you still single?”

Melora’s lips curled into a smirk. “It must be Henry’s fault.”

The comment left Henry at a loss for what to say.
