Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 168 Not Home

Henry pulled Crystal close into his arms after stepping out of the study but remained silent.

Crystal felt somewhat aggrieved.

Nonetheless, it was still Christmas, and she was staying at his house, so she didn’t feel it was appropriate to throw a tantrum.

Leaning on his shoulder and catching whiffs of the pleasant aftershave on him, she asked in an undertone, “What time will you be back?”

Henry had to go to the law firm later to negotiate with the lawyer hired by Audrey’s husband.

After briefly pondering, he replied, “I’ll be back before dinner to accompany you for a meal. Then, we’ll return to the condominium together. Crystal, this matter won’t affect our lives.”

Crystal forced a smile.

In the afternoon, Henry left with David.

Initially, Julia planned to take the two girls out, but she was no longer in the mood to do so.

The atmosphere in the Miller residence became somewhat stifling.

Crystal waited for the entire day, but Henry didn’t come home.

He did call to tell her to eat first and have the driver send her back to the condominium, saying he would be back late.

Crystal didn’t probe further for a specific time.

She couldn’t help but behave slightly indifferently to preserve her pride and dignity, given that matter involved Audrey.

At eight o’clock at night, Crystal was ready to take her leave with Snowy. Julia felt very apologetic.

Crystal smiled faintly. “It’s all right.”

However, only she knew of the bitterness that filled her chest for the entire day.

After she got into the vehicle, the driver didn’t start the car immediately.

The next second, the door to the backseat was abruptly opened from the outside, and Robert’s figure came into view.

The driver, knowing his place, understood the newcomer had something to discuss with Crystal, so he tactfully kept quiet.

Robert rested his hand on the roof of the car while gazing at Crystal. “I have something to say to you.”

Crystal was in a foul mood in the first place, so she had no intention of dealing with him.

Robert caught her arm and forcefully dragged her out of the car.

The night wind buffeted their figures.

Crystal glared at him. He lit a cigarette, looking at her through the rising smoke. “You still want to be with him even after all this? A transnational divorce lawsuit like this could last two years. Are you willing to see Henry always being around his ex-lover? He will have to go to the hospital to take care of her whenever she harms herself. Do you really want to be in such a relationship? Can you bear such grievances?”

Crystal despised Robert’s straightforwardness, but everything he mentioned was on the mark.

Crystal responded calmly. “Robert, I don’t think whether I’m doing well or not is any of your business.”

All of a sudden, he slammed the roof of the car, startling the driver.

Illuminated by the moonlight, Robert’s grimace appeared frightening as he questioned her, “Crystal, am I that heartless of a person to you, someone who doesn’t wish you well? But have you considered that I actually want you to be happy?”

Robert was probably overly agitated as the cigarette between his fingers could be seen trembling. “F*cking think with your head. Even Seth would be a hundred times better for you than him!”

Colors drained from Crystal’s face.
