Chapter 195


    Chapter 195 I Miss You So Much


    Someone came out of the men’s restroom as Crystal and Pete left.


    It was none other than Henry.


    Staring at the water in the sink, he felt his heart wrench in pain.


    Did she get so drunk just because of a failed project? She has never acted like this… Is it because she


    doesn’t want to rely on others after leaving me?


    Henry fished out his phone and made a call to Colton.


    “Is this Mr. Thatcher? I’m Henry Miller. I saw you earlier… Why don’t we meet?”


    Half an hourter, Colton showed up in another private room.


    In fact, he knew about Henry and Crystal’s rtionship. That was why he had been rather polite


    thought the project fell through.


    Shortly after he sat down, Henry got straight to the point.


    “Regarding Crystal’s project, can you do me a favor and ept it?”


    Colton held onto his wine ss, feeling rather amused.


    Heughed. “Henry, I thought you’re always cool-headed? What is it? Could it be that you can’t move


    on and wants to help her now? Since you’ve asked, then I’ll be honest with you too. I have pretty high


    hopes. for Miss Winters. She has a good attitude and produces good work. But I can’t say the same for


    Mr. Zelcest’s son. He’s too pompous. I heard that he often holds parties at home. He must have a


    messy life.”


    Finishing his words, he urged Henry to have a drink..


    Thetter had some white wine.


    After downing the drink, Henry smiled. “Pete is young and loves seeking fun, but he’s great at cars.


    He’s the champion of the F4 double-season racing. He might not be as capable when ites to other


    things, but I’m sure he’ll do well in this aspect. Besides, I know that the music center caters to high-end


    customers. It’ll be easy to secure deals on above-average cars.”


    Colton was still a little hesitant.


    A faint smile curved Henry’s lips. “Tell you what, Mr. Thatcher. Go ahead and get involved with that


    project. I’ll bear all losses if there are any. Also, I’ll deal with yourpany’s legal affairs without any


    fees.”


    Those words gave Colton ample reassurance.


    He poured Henry more wine and teased, “All right, I’m only doing it because of you, Henry. But then.


    again, you sure are a sentimental man, aren’t you? I didn’t know the legal Grim Reaper would be so


    infatuated with a woman. This ispletely at odds with your public persona, huh?”


    Henry only let out a bitter smile.


    Like before, he showed Colton respect and downed the drink in one swift movement.


    He was seemingly lost in thought as he stared intently at the empty wine ss. “I made her angry… Oh


    yes, Mr. Thatcher, please don’t tell her anything about this.”


    Colton smiled and urged Henry to continue drinking.


    It had been long since Henry drank so much. Feeling a little unwell, he leaned into the backseat of his


    car after leaving the ce,


    “Where are you going, Mr. Miller?” the driver asked softly.


    A faint blush spread across Henry’s face while he kept his eyes shut. After pondering for a moment, he


    answered, “To the condominium.”


    About half an hourter, the car arrived at its destination.


    Henry opened the car door and hopped off. With his head slightly tilted, he gazed at the unit on the top


    floor.

    For the past six months, he had been staying in another mansion. He could not muster the courage to


    visit that condominium as he could hardly fall asleep there. Even if he could, he would dream of how


    upset Crystal looked.


    He headed upstairs and opened the door.


    The interior remained the same, but everything else had changed.


    At this moment, the house was cold and deserted. The piano that was still in its original spot had lost its


    owner.


    Henry took off his coat and slowly made his way inside.


    Sitting before the piano, he lifted the cover, and as he began ying Crystal’s favorite melody, he could


    not help but recall how she sat in hisp and listened to him y the piano on a snowy night.


    We were so in love back then. Why would I think that I don’t love her anymore?


    It was only after he lost her that he realized he needed her.


    Of course, there was no way he was not at all jealous about how Pete was staying by Crystal’s side


    now. He could even tell that she adored him as if he was her younger brother but attributed that to how


    she had atck of family and rtives around her.


    In the dead of night, the drunken man’s longing for Crystal only grew more intense.


    As the music came to an end, he could no longer hold himself back and dialed her number…


    He called again and again after she hung up the phone. Eventually, she could not endure it anymore


    and answered the call.


    “Crystal, I miss you so much!” said Henry in a low, raspy voice.


    Without waiting for her response or rejection, he hung up the phone. He knew that he was afraid of


    hearing her voice and how she might say things like “Henry, it’s over between us!”, “Henry, there’s


    nothing between us anymore!”, or “Henry, stop acting like this. It’s pointless….
