Chapter 158 Overshadowed

As their lips finally parted from the passionate kiss, they couldn’t help but exhale heavy breaths.

Crystal leaned weakly against the bathroom wall, her body on the verge of collapsing if not for his support. Even so, her legs felt weak and powerless.

Henry, too, was overcome by the intensity of their connection.

His handsome face was flushed with desire, and each breath that escaped his lips was an ardent exhale.

“Crystal, what did Robert say?” he asked in a husky voice.

Crystal, who was afraid of disturbing the two elders, bit her lip. “I don’t know.”

The man’s gaze was intense; it was hard to decipher his thoughts.

After a brief pause, he bent over and kissed her again.

“You don’t want to talk; you just want me to kiss you. Is that right?”

Feeling embarrassed and annoyed by his words, Crystal gave him a gentle kick.

“All you ever do is tease me, Henry! You said you wanted a fresh start. Is this really the place you want to start over? You jerk!” Her eyes glistened with tears as she spoke.

Undeterred by her protest, Henry continued to kiss her.

When their lips finally parted, he pressed his forehead against hers.

Crystal glared at him as she found his argument utterly unreasonable.

Henry chuckled lightly and placed her hand on his cheek.

When her palm brushed against his warm skin, she felt a sudden surge of heat and instinctively pulled away.
