Chapter 144 Do You Love Me

Crystal drove straight home, afraid that he would pester her.

John and Anna were delightfully surprised at her unexpected return.

Anna pulled her inside and said cheerfully, “Speak of the devil! Your dad was just talking about how much he missed you. Father and daughter sure think alike!”

Crystal put down the fruits and approached John.

They had a lengthy conversation.

Just then, Anna’s voice sounded from the kitchen. “Crystal, lend me a hand, will you?”

Crystal agreed with a smile.

No sooner had she entered the kitchen than Anna swiftly shut the door after her.

“What’s the matter, Madam Anna?” Crystal was confused.

Anna pulled her to the window and pointed downstairs. “Isn’t that Mr. Miller’s car? It’s been parked there for a while now! What’s going on? Did both of you get into a fight or did you guys split up?”

Crystal did expect Henry to pursue her all the way here.

She cleaned the strawberries indifferently. “We’ve ended things.”

Henry got out of his car carrying a gift box and looked as if he was about to visit them upstairs.

Anna lowered her voice as she said, “I can see that he kinda likes you. Crystal, aren’t you going to think this over?”

Crystal shook her head.

At that very instant, the doorbell rang.

Anna covered her mouth and smiled. “Look who’s here.”

Crystal was exasperated.

She would have been on cloud nine for several days if he’d done such a thing in the past. But now. that their absurd relationship had ended, she found it pointless.

“I’ll talk to him.” She opened the door ahead of Anna.

Henry was elegantly dressed, holding a bag of imported fruits in his hand. He gazed deeply at Crystal.

Crystal shut the door behind her, stepped out, and whispered, “What are you doing here, Henry?”

“I’m here to visit Mr. and Mrs. Winters.”

Crystal bit her lip lightly. “We’re over. You don’t have to do this.”
