Chapter 189 Pete The Young Pup

Crystal’s words were full of sarcasm.

Feeling his heart throb with pain, Henry lowered his head. After a long silence, he called out, “Crystal.”

Crystal remained silent as she tore the document to pieces.

After that, she looked up at him as if he was a stranger. “Henry, I hope you keep your promise!”

With a dark gaze, Henry eventually made a call and ordered the suppression against Jake-Seth Technologies be terminated.

Everything was finally over.

Looking at Crystal standing with her back to him, Henry wanted to touch her, but her body stiffened. instantly. He withdrew his hand and forced a smile. “I won’t touch you. Just cook me a meal, Crystal.”

Crystal did not respond..

Failing to hold himself back, Henry hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, murmuring. “Cook for me. I haven’t had a good meal for a long time. I can’t sleep at night without you.”

She was all he could think about.

However, Crystal pushed him away.

Standing in the shadow by the window, she said softly, “Henry, you didn’t give me a chance when I wanted to be in a proper relationship. Now, I don’t want it anymore. Moreover, while I agreed not to meet Seth, it’s impossible for me to get back with you. If you force me again, I don’t mind dragging you down with me!”

She turned around slowly and continued, “You have privacy too, Mr. Miller. I believe a big name like you pays great attention to these things. After all, your perfect image will be ruined if you’re not careful, right?”

Henry was not surprised by her words,

He had been with Crystal for a long time, so it was natural that she knew things. To him, it wouldn’t matter much if those things got out, but he was willing to back down a little since Crystal was furious at the

moment.

“I’m leaving, then. Don’t forget to eat.” Henry seemed to have switched to his affectionate self again as his tone was gentle. It was as if his threats earlier never happened.

Before Henry left, he stroked Crystal’s back lightly, which caused her to freeze in repulsion.

He stayed quiet for a second before saying in a hoarse voice, “Crystal, I know you hate me, but I don’t regret it.”

Hearing that, Crystal let out a scornful chuckle.

Of course, he doesn’t regret it because it doesn’t cost him anything

The next day, Crystal went to the music center and began to bury herself in work.

Henry called a few times, but she did not answer.

He then began sending flowers often and would even order food from high-end restaurants for her, but she never accepted them.

A week later, Crystal got a call from Madison.

“Crystal, Seth is going to the south to do business. His flight is at two o’clock in the afternoon. I heard from Charles that he won’t be back for at least one to two years.”

Holding the phone, Crystal stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

She uttered nothing but a hum of acknowledgment in response.

“Do… Do you want to go see him off together?” Madison asked in a low voice.

Crystal looked up slightly. After a while, she said, “No. Give him my regards… Wait, never mind.”
