Chapter 141
Chapter 141 Sleep In The Master Bedroom
Crystal was overwhelmed by unease.
“I’m heading downstairs,” she muttered.
Henry stared at her silently and only uttered h oar sely after some time, “I’m sorry, Crystal.”
He watched as she practically scurried away before lowering his head and lighting a cigarette.
Twenty minutester, a pleasant aroma wafted from the kitchen, which Henry immediately recognized
as Crystal’s cooking.
He stubbed out his cigarette and headed to the dining room.
After serving him some spaghetti, Crystal tried to leave but he sat down and grabbed her hand. “Stay
with me.”
She shook her head and said firmly, “Henry, if you weren’t injured, I wouldn’t even be here!”
Crystal was very calm. Perhaps she felt numb after crying many times at night. Facing him did not hurt
as much.
Henry’s eyes turned gloomy but he respected her wishes. Not in the mood to enjoy his food without her
company, he finished it quickly.
Crystal pointed at the couch after fetching a nket from the guest room. “I’ll sleep here tonight.”
Henry’s gaze darkened. “Sleep in the master bedroom. It’s not as if we’ve never slept together before.
Besides, I’m not going to do anything!”
Crystal was not so naive as to believe him.
Henry has strong sexual cravings and will undoubtedly be aroused once we get into bed together
Besides… it’s over between us, so there’s no need for any more ambiguity.
“It’s better to keep things clear,” she refused tly.
Exhausted from drinking and forcing herself to sober up, she curled up in the nket on the couch and
promptly fell asleep.
Henry gulped as he watched her sleep. He entered his bedroom and grabbed his quilt, which he
threw over her.
Without waking up, Crystal tugged the quilt and curled into it, making herself look especially thin
Henry’s heart ached when he thought about all the alcohol she had consumed that night.
Does being with me cause her so much suffering that she’d rather drink with a stranger to gamble on a
chance that might not work out?
Henry went into his study and made a call.
The person who answered it was Emelia.
Her tone was polite yet distant at the same time. “Mr. Miller, do you need something at thiste hour?”
Henry’s voice sounded particrly chilly in the night. “Miss Long, is your music center still short of
students?”
“Yes! Of course!”
Emelia snickered inwardly. What we’recking the most are foolish rich folks!
“I’ll rmend a student over tomorrow. Get Miss Winters to teach her, Henry said calmly.
Emelia was dumbfounded.
“Your child, Mr. Miller?” she deliberately asked.
Henry chuckled nonchntly. “Have you ever seen Crystal’s belly get bigger, Miss Long? She’s just a
rtive.”
Emelia could not help but grumble inwardly. This man is utterly shameless. He appears so refined in
the newspapers and magazines that no one can tell that he’s actually rather promiscuous. No matter
what, it’s always good to have money in the bank.
She then probed about Crystal, to which Henry answered ambiguously, “Crystal was so tired that she
fell asleep.”
The next morning, Henry was already up when Crystal woke up.
His wound seemed to be healing well. He was sitting in the dining room drinking coffee while reading
the newspaper.
Dressed in a dark grey shirt with a thin dark tie, he looked handsome as always.
Crystal was a life stunned.
As Henry’s gaze fell on her, he said softly, “You’re missing a button.”
She lowered her gaze to her light-colored shirt and discovered that the third button was missing.
Because she was sitting, both sides of her top naturally parted, revealing a portion of her chest.
Crystal hastily bunched up her shirt. She searched the couch for a long time but could not find the
button.
“Go and get changed in the walk-in closet. Your clothes are still there,” Henry said tly.
Crystal remained silent.
He bought those expensive clothes for me when he was pampering me, and they amount to tens of
thousands. Now that we’ve split up, I have no reason to ept them again. Just like the piano, Morning
Dew, no matter how much I like it, I have no interest in ying it again.
She simply requested to use the guest room.
Having lived there before, she knew where the sewing kit was, so she moved the button at the cor
lower to cover her chest.
Crystal did not freshen up there. She merely wiped her face.
After leaving the room, she looked at Henry and said. “You seem fine, Mr. Miller. I’ll head back now.”
Henry ced the newspaper down and regarded her silently.
“Have your breakfast before you go. It was delivered from the Miller residence early this morning.”
Crystal smiled faintly and replied, “That’s not appropriate.”
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
She sounded distant and polite. Henry could tell she was trying to draw a line with him. He did not
know how others won back their lovers, but he had a feeling that she was more difficult than ordinary
girls.
He gazed at her and went into deep thought.
The atmosphere became a little tense. Crystal gave him a slight bow and said, “Thank you for
continuing to help my dad with thewsuit, Mr. Miller. I’m very grateful to you.”
Henry felt extremely ufortable.
Crystal treated him like an ordinary citizen treating a prominent person even though they had had the
best experience together in that condominium. Be it physically or in terms of lifestyle, they were very
compatible with each other.
He was slightly annoyed.
He picked up the newspaper with his slender fingers and said indifferently. “Do as you like!”
Crystal ran as fast she could.
After taking a cab back to her condominium, she took a shower and changed her clothes.
She even had her breakfast in the car.
When she arrived at the music center, she found Emelia looking apologetic. “I truly can’t afford to
offend that imposing manst night.”
Crystal did not me her. She merely stated softly. “I had to make things clear.”
Emelia showed her the contract signed by Zayne and said with admiration, “Crystal,st night was
amazing. Mr. Zadriel is well-known for being difficult to deal with, but him over almost immediately.”
Crystal smiled faintly.
She was well aware that Henry’s appearancest night was an opportunity, which scored her the
chance.
Not wanting to bring up Henry, she made no reply.
Emelia then told her another big news. “That Hades of the legal profession called mest night, saying
that he’s sending a young rtive over to learn the piano, and he requested you to be her teacher.
Crystal, have you ever heard of the Miller family having young rtives? Or are they simply Henry’s
illegitimate child, and he’s just covering it up.”
Crystal pondered for a moment.
It’s not strange for the rtives of the Miller family to have young children, but there shouldn’t be many
that Henry would make an exception to take care of
She could note up with an answer.
Emelia waved her hand nonchntly. “We’ll find out when the childes. As she spoke, she
suddenly recalled Henry’s suggestive words and asked curiously, “Crystal, did you guys… do the deed
last night?”
Crystal, who was drinking water at that moment, spat out the entire mouthful.
She red at Emelia with watery eyes filled with frustration and embarrassment.
Emelia merely shrugged. “He said on the phone that you fell asleep from exhaustion, so of course
I overthought! Besides… Henry seemed unsatisfiedst night!”
Crystal wiped her clothes before saying softly, “No! He suffered a minor injury, and I just bandaged him
up! It’s over between us. It’s not going to happen again.”
Emelia thought it was a shame.
With Mr. Miller’s physique, looks, and the sexual tension in his eyes, who wouldn’t be interested in
him?
Just as she was imagining that, thendline phone rang.
“Miss Winters, Mr. Miller’s family havee. They wish to sign up for your VIP course.”
