Chapter 223 Will You Come Back To Me

Henry gently embraced her.

For once, Crystal let him hold onto her for a long while instead of prying him off her.

When the sun was finally above their heads, she said, “Henry, when are we getting a divorce?”

Henry stiffened.

He had guessed that she was going to mention it by the end of the day, but he still did not want to let her go. He wished that their marriage would not end so soon. Perhaps he could still salvage their ruined marriage.

After a long moment of silence, he hoarsely said, “Let’s wait for a while longer.”

Crystal pushed him away.

She turned around to stare at him. To Crystal, their relationship had already ended. Their divorce was already set in stone.

“What for?” she asked, her voice equally raspy. “If we end this marriage quickly, we can start our respective new journeys earlier. This marriage existed because of Skyler, and now that she’s gone, we-” Henry cut her off.

As he gazed at her, he asked in a quiet and humble tone, “If Skyler were still around, will you return to

me?”

The question was cleverly phrased.

He did not ask her if she would get a divorce from him if Skyler were still around.

Instead, he asked her if she would return to his side.

However, Crystal did not read between the lines.

Staring at the almost-white sky, she softly muttered, “But there aren’t any ifs between us anymore.”

Stepping forward to slowly wrap his arms around her again, and before she could push him away, Henry mumbled, “I’ll sign it. Just… let me hold you for a little longer, Crystal.”

And so, they hugged in silence.

Henry had no idea how long they were going to be separated for. Maybe two to three years, or even for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how long it was going to last, he told himself that he had to set her free.

Staring at her, he finally said, “Let’s have a meal in the condominium we used to live in. I’ll get Jamie to bring the divorce agreement to us later.”

In the end, Crystal still pushed him away.

With a faint smile, she said, “There is no such need.”

He grabbed her hand. “Just a meal, and I’ll sign the papers.”

His gaze on her was a burning and persistent one.

Crystal ultimately relented.
