Chapter 202


    Chapter 202 I Will Not Touch You


    Crystal didn’t want to go to his ce. However, she was even more unwilling to have a romantic


    candlelit dinner with him, as it simply wasn’t suitable for them.


    She stared at the desk with her phone in her hand.


    In the end, she replied softly, “Okay. I’m getting off work half an hourter.”


    With that, she ended the call, then took a few thick folders and stuffed them into her attaché case. Still


    feeling that it wasn’t enough, she added a few more folders inside.


    When she left the office building. Henry’s car had already arrived.


    He has been driving the ck Maybach a lot recently!


    Seeing that Crystal was walking over, Henry got out of the car and walked around to open the


    passenger seat door for her. As he was doing that, he nced at her hand and gave her a half-smile.


    “You’re working so hard even on the weekend? Do you even have a personal life at this point?”


    His tone of voice was alwaysced with a hint of mockery.


    Pretending not to notice, she got in the car and fastened the seatbelt before turning toward him. “The


    workload is quite heavytely. By the way, Madison and Zachary divorced. Thank you.”


    Obviously, he didn’t wish to talk about that has-been couple. Staring ahead, he uttered, “Let’s pick


    Snowy up from your condominium. I’m sure that puppy must be bored out of its mind.”


    Crystal didn’t object.


    He drove all the way to her condominium, and she went upstairs to bring Snowy downstairs.


    After Snowy got in the car, it barked aggressively at him twice.


    Henry refused to be mad at a dog and simply stated, “Why does it dislike me? I was the one who


    brought it home.”


    Hearing that, Crystal rubbed Snowy’s head and replied to him, “Maybe it’s because you two have the


    same characteristics and gender.”


    Then, she smiled lightly.


    Henry’s gaze darkened.


    She has never smiled like this in front of me for a very long time. Ever since we broke up, in fact. To


    me, this soft smile is as beautiful as the melting of the first snow!


    He could not help but want to kiss her.


    Perhaps Crystal sensed his intention, for she immediately dropped her smile and looked ahead quietly.


    A faint grin appeared on his face. Then, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove toward the mansion.


    The standalone mansion Henry currently resided in had a total area of over two thousand square


    meters. Located in a prime urban area, it could be considered a top-tier luxury residence.


    After parking the car, he unbuckled his seatbelt and said casually, “There are no fixed housekeepers


    here. Dinners are prepared and served by the housekeepers at the main residence. It’ll take about an


    hour for dinner to be ready.”


    She nodded in response.


    He got off the car and grabbed Snowy’s leash. “I’m going to walk this dog and spend some time with it


    to bond. You can have a seat in the living room first.”


    Crystal looked at thewn.


    I think Snowy will be happy.


    Then, she walked into the living room and used her free time to settle some work documents. Right


    then, a housekeeper served her a cup of coffee. Crystal recognized the housekeeper, who was from


    the Miller residence. Without being too friendly, she thanked the housekeeper in a soft voice.


    It was now early summer in July. The weather was hot, and the days were long-


    Henry was drenched in sweat after walking Snowy for a round. However, he still decided to give it a


    bath.


    first.


    The dog stood on the lush greenwn, grinning with its mouth open and tongue lolling. It was clearly


    enjoying itself.


    Henry patted the dog’s bottom, letting it y around on its own. Meanwhile, he walked into the living


    room.


    It was quiet in the living room, and Crystal was working.


    Feeling displeased, he walked toward her, still damp from bathing Snowy. He leaned over and bit her


    neck. gently, lightly nibbling on her skin. “You sure are busy, Miss Winters.”


    As soon as she looked up, she saw his charismatic features.


    He closed her documents for her before speaking. “Take a break!”


    Before she could protest, he had already stood up and headed to the second floor. He shook off the


    water droplets on his hair while unbuttoning his shirt. In truth, the casual vice he gave off was extremely


    sexy.


    Crystal visibly froze.


    A house with awn, a puppy, and a handsome man of the house… This is the scene I yearned for


    countless times in the past, and it’s happening right before my eyes. Yet, my heart doesn’t flutter that


    much anymore!


    When Henry headed downstairs after taking a shower, he saw her sipping on a cup of coffee, looking


    like she had just switched to another ce to keep working.


    Nevertheless, he didn’t try to stop her again. After all, it had been ages since theyst spent time


    together, and she was still displeased with him. However, no matter how cold they were toward each


    other usually, they must sleep in the same bed together at night. This was the only thing he insisted on.


    The weekend night was ideal for passionate and intimate activities.


    Yet, the two were working overtime, one after another. Even Snowy was worn out from its excitement,


    but the two owners were still working.


    One was in the study, while the other was in the living room.


    It wasn’t untilte at night that Henry finally walked out of the study.


    It just so happened that Crystal was getting ready to take a shower and go to bed. When the living


    room door was pushed open, there was an ambiguous look in their gazes when their eyes met.


    They had lived together before, after all.


    Such a scene reminded them of the passionate nights they used to share. Henry, in particr, very


    much wanted to hug her.


    Right when she turned around, he took her wrist gently, causing her to stiffen up.


    He embraced her from behind before lowering his head to nibble on her slender neck. After all, he


    hadn’t done it in a long time, so even his panting was suppressed and controlled.


    After enjoying the intimate moment for a while, he gently scooped her up and ced her on the ck


    bedsheet.


    He used all means to please her..


    However, just as they were about to get to the main event, he saw a tear in the corner of her eye.


    In her heart, she is unwilling to do it!


    Henry propped himself up with one hand and stared at her with his head lowered, asking tenderly,


    “Why are you crying?”


    Crystal felt embarrassed. She looked away, her eyes growing even more wet.


    Wiping off her tears gently, he was reluctant to let go of her. Hence, he kissed her on the lips for a long


    while.


    He kissed her until his patience had reached its limit before finally getting up and walking into the


    bathroom.


    When Henry got back, he hugged Crystal from behind. “We won’t do it if you don’t want to, all right?”


    She kept quiet, as if she had fallen asleep..


    Yet, he knew she wasn’t asleep. She just didn’t really want to speak to him. She’s different from before.


    Although she no longer throws tantrums, she always gives me the cold shoulder by deliberately


    avoiding any interaction with me.

    In the end, he didn’t force her. He just held her and slept through the night.


    Early in the morning, Crystal’s phone rang.


    Since she had just woken up, she was still feeling a little ilisoriented. She fumbled around the table for


    a while, but in the end, it was Henry who handed her the phone.


    Shey on the bed. Meanwhile, he had already gotten up and was getting dressed by the side of the


    bed.


    Seeing her spacing out, he chuckled softly and asked. “It’s Madison’s phone call. Why aren’t you


    answering


    His words made her sit up quickly.


    Madison was calling to invite Crystal to attend her wedding. Since this was Madison’s second marriage,


    and she was pregnant, it wasn’t appropriate for the wedding to be too extravagant. Therefore, the


    Jenkins. family organized a low-profile wedding ceremony, only inviting family members and a few


    good friends.


    Crystal sat up and congratted Madison.


    Madison didn’t know about the situation between Crystal and Henry. She simply told Crystal the truth.


    “We’re just having a meal and openly admitting our rtionship.”


    Crystal could understand Madison’s feelings.


    The whole debacle with Zachary had put a slight damper on the rtionship, no matter how anticipated


    it


    Was.


    However, all that was up to Charles and Madison to deal with slowly.


    Crystal didn’t say much and only promised that she would attend the wedding..


    As soon as she hung up the phone, she saw Henry staring at her with a tie in his hand, seemingly


    waiting. for something.


    She whispered, “I want to attend Madison and Charles wedding.”


    He pinched his tie for a long while before continuing to put it on as if nothing had happened. “Charles


    invited me, too! So you’re saying that only one of us can attend it? Are you afraid that others will know


    about our current rtionship?”


    She did not deny his assumption.


    Abruptly, he loosened his tie and stared at her. When he next spoke, his tone was a lot cooler. “No one


    will know about our rtionship if I don’t say anything.”


    After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.
