Chapter 150 Blow Dry Your Hair
Henry was momentarily stunned.
“Just leave it. I have yet to figure out what to do with them.”
Marie continued, “And what about the piano? You presented it to Miss Winters as a gift. I believe it’s
called Ludweig or something like that, and it’s quite valuable. Since you don’t y the piano, Mr. Miller,
should I arrange for Jamie to have it removed?”
Henry was speechless.
“That piano is called Morning Dew,” he exined.
Marie’s lips twitched. I don’t know Brundn well.
Henry’s gazended on the Morning Dew. A whileter, he said softly, “Leave it here for the time
being.”
Marie stopped asking questions.
Ha! Mr. Miller can’t even bear to part with Miss Winters’ belongings. It’s evident that he still has feelings
for her. Based on my experience, I won’t be surprised if Mr. Miller soon pleads for her to return to him.
Marie went back to work, leaving Henry spa cing out with his coffee in his hand.
In the following week. Henry developed a troubling habit. He would consistently tail Crystal after
finishing work, inadvertently crossing paths with her on numerous asions.
Sometimes, it happened at Crystal’s favorite ces.
Sometimes, it happened at Ritchie’s favorite bars and restaurants.
While Henry and Ritchie were not particrly close acquaintances, their families knew each other,
leading to a certain level of acquaintance between them as well.
Ritchie wasn’t close to anyone in their social circle and didn’t know that Henry used to date Crystal.
However, as they kept bumping into each other, he soon realized something was off,
He asked Crystal about it.
Crystal was taken aback as she thought Ritchie knew about her past rtionship with Henry.
After regaining herposure, she revealed to Ritchie that she used to date Henry.
She nced at Ritchie.
If Ritchie couldn’t ept it, she wouldn’t impose her desires on him. She understood that not all men
were capable of epting certain situations.
Ritchie didn’t say anything.
Nevertheless, when he sent her back home, he confessed his feelings to her in the car. “Crystal, if
Hemy wants to get back together with you, will you say yes?”
Men have an inherent understanding of their own kind.
Everyone knew that Henry would never marry anyone, so Ritchie guessed that was why they broke up
in the end.
As Henry frequently appeared in front of Crystal, Ritchie discerned that the persistent presence of this
arrogant man stemmed from his inability to set aside his pride and plead for Crystal’s return to his side.
He wanted to know if Crystal would get back together with Henry.
After asking that question, Ritchie stared at Crystal intently,
Leaning back in the chair, Crystal looked sideways at Ritchie. She had been getting along well with
Ritchie these days. While their time together might not have been filled with intense passion, they
shared some heartfelt moments. Apart from the gentle kiss he nted on her forehead on Christmas
Eve, he had always respected their boundaries.
She knew Ritchie valued her, and she cherished their rtionship. She wanted to make itst.
A long whileter, Crystal said softly, “Ritchie, I’m serious about us.”
Finally, Ritchie’s tense body rxed. No one could imagine how nervous he had been as he awaited
her answer. Despite being aware of his privileged background and good looks, he humbly
acknowledged that he paled inparison to Henry’s seemingly remarkable qualities.
Henry was influential and charming, and he was called “The Most Charming Man” by the magazines.
That made Ritchie lose some of his confidence.
However, he felt relieved to hear Crystal’s answer.
He leaned in and nted a kiss on her cheek. “It’s only nine. How about you invite me upstairs?”
Crystal ran her fingers through her hair.
Back at the restaurant, a kid had identally touched her hair with hands full of chocte,
She offered an apologetic smile. “I’m afraid I can’t brew coffee for you as I need to wash my hair.”
Ritchie gazed at her.
“I’m not heading upstairs for coffee. Shall I dry your hair for you?”
Crystal had no reason to reject his offer.
Having engaged in a few serious dates with Ritchie, she knew it would be too callous for her to deny
him the opportunity to visit her condominium.
She gave him a smile. “Then 111 brew some coffee before washing my hair.”
Ritchie also smiled in response.
Crystal didn’t realize that despite their rtionship, she was still holding back in some way,
Crystal invited Ritchie to her modest-sized condominium located on the fourth floor and spanning
approximately fifty square meters.
The interior design of the condominium exuded a cozy and inviting ambiance despite itspact size.
After brewing coffee for Ritchie, Crystal headed to the bathroom to wash her hair. When she emerged
from the bathroom, he was standing in front of the window with the coffee.
While wiping her hair with a towel, she asked, “What are you looking at?”
Ritchie’s gaze was fixed on the gold Bentley Continental parked downstairs. When he heard Crystal’s
question, he raised the cup andmented, “The coffee is not bad.”
“The beans are from Yorknd.”
Ritchie’s lips quirked up. “Come, let me blow dry your hair.”
Crystal didn’t suspect anything and gave him the hairdryer.
She stood with his back to him and didn’t notice that Henry was downstairs.
Ritchie was gentle and didn’t overstep any boundaries.
After drying her hair, he hugged her from behind. “I’d like to stay the night.”
Crystal’s body stiffened slightly.
She gently pried his hands away and said, “This is too fast, Ritchie.”
Ritchie shed a bitter smile.
He admired Crystal’sposed demeanor, but in his mind, if a woman was excessively rational in a
rtionship, it could only signify one thing: Shecked true devotion or deep feelings for him
He couldn’t help but feel that she had no desires or passionate longing for him.
He sat down for a little while, then left.
Upon reaching the ground floor, he noticed that the Bentley Continental was still parked there. The
window was rolled down, revealing Henry’s arm leisurely hanging out as he smoked one cigarette after
another.
Ritchie couldn’t help but admit that Henry looked handsome as he gave a subtle nod in greeting.
Henry turned around and looked at him silently.
A long whileter, he let out an icy snort and nodded in response.
Before Ritchie could get into his car, Henry floored the elerator and sped off, the cigarette still
dangling from his lips.
Ritchie didn’t know what to feel as he watched the car speed away.
Henry drove back to his condominium.
”
Unbuttoning his suit jacket, he tossed it on the couch and sat in front of the piano.
Closing his eyes, he let his slender fingers glide effortlessly across the piano keys, producing the
familiar melody of Moonlight Lovers. It was the same piece that Crystal frequently yed in the
house.
Henry knew how to y the piano but wasn’t really good at it.
However, he had never revealed this talent to Crystal, deeming it unnecessary to do so.
His initial intention had always been to date her for a year or two and then part ways. amicably. He had
nned to provide her with generouspensation for the time they had spent together.
However, to his surprise, their rtionship abruptly came to an end in less than two months,
Crystal didn’t ask for anypensation from him. All she wanted was to leave him and start

anew.
She seemed to be enjoying her time with Ritchie.
It’s been ten days. Crystal and Ritchie have dated for ten whole days. Ritchie has entered her house.
Are they going to share the same bed soon and have ser?
A resounding thump echoed from the piano keys as Henry stared at the piano silently.
Memories from the past surged through his mind.
He vividly recalled presenting Crystal with the Morning Dew piano after the first time they had sex. She
had joyfully redecorated their home with her personal touch, emanating a radiant happiness akin to that
of a newlywed bride,
Back then, she had no idea this was how wealthy men treated their women
He showered her with love and gifts so she could repay him by pleasuring him through sex.
Sex was different when both parties had feelings for each other. Henry was extremely aroused every
time Crystal gazed at him, her eyes sparkling with adoration.
Will she look at Ritchie the same way in the future? No, that is impossible! I won’t allow that to happen!
Ten days is the most I can endure.
