Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 184 I Would Rather You Hate Me

Early in the morning, Crystal took Snowy for a walk.

It was now early summer. Crystal was dressed in white sportswear that revealed a generous expanse of her fair legs, lending an alluring charm to her overall appearance.

Henry’s Adam’s apple bobbed multiple times when he saw her.

He stepped out of the car with a profound gaze, asking. Taking the dog for a walk?”

Crystal walked past him, guiding Snowy toward the lake.

Snowy turned around and barked at him a few times.

Henry lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and simply trailed behind her.

Crystal ignored him.

After walking the dog for an hour, she had breakfast and purchased a packet of toast and milk on her journey back home.

As she ascended the stairs, Henry firmly grasped her slender wrist and inquired, “Are you with him?”

Crystal was taken aback.

Then she realized that he had witnessed the scene the previous night and had followed her all the way to this place.

Crystal’s expression turned icy. “Mr. Miller, we have already ended our relationship! It is none of your concern who I am with, and I have no obligation to provide you with any explanations!”

She forcefully pushed his hand away and briskly made her way into the condominium.

Once she closed the door, she leaned against the door panel, pressing her back against it.

No matter how many times she encountered Henry, her heart continued to ache in his presence, and she still couldn’t feign indifference. However, she was determined to put an end to the agony and move forward with her life.

Why does he keep pestering me like this?

Crystal contemplated the idea of moving, but she had done nothing wrong and shouldn’t feel obliged to avoid him.

Despite Crystal’s rejection of Seth that night, Seth did not give up his pursuit.

He was a smart man, and after the rejection, he chose to pursue her in a gentle and subtle manner.

He would only make four or five appearances per month, either visiting her home for a meal or sending health products to Anna. Over time, word spread throughout Barnwood that Seth had developed feelings for her and was actively pursuing her.

That night, Seth ran into Crystal again.

With a cheeky face, he invited himself over to Crystal’s condominium for a meal. However, at nine o’clock
