Chapter 209 Give Me A Child
Once they were done, they felt rather uneasy.
That was especially the case for Crystal because she thought they were not cut out for rough sex.
Yet, they had already done it.
At that moment, she was slightly sweaty and feeling ufortable. When she moved to take a bath,
Henry pressed her down gently and said, “Stay with me for a while.”
Crystal did as she was told.
Afterward, he leaned toward her and kissed her earlobe. In a passionate tone, he asked, “Could you
please stop behaving so coldly toward me?”
With that, he grabbed the trousers at the foot of the bed, and the small box inside rolled out.
Crystal knew what he was trying to do, so she tried to get out of bed again. “I need to take a bath!”
Henry pulled her into his embrace and whipped out a diamond ring. “This is a fifty-two carats diamond!
Do you like it?”
Once he finished his sentence, he stared at her intently.
Crystal took the diamond ring and tried putting it on her middle finger. Obviously, it wouldn’t fit.
“It’s too small for me. It won’t fit!” She shed a smile.
Henry’s gaze darkened slightly when he said, “Perhaps it’ll fit your ring finger perfectly! Give it a try!”
Crystal knew Henry was acting odd because it was rare for him to please a woman and behave
submissively. If she were wise enough, she would happily ept his gift and get married to him
immediately. However, that’s something the old me would do. In fact, prior to this Eastamor, I would
have epted his proposal in a heartbeat. Now, he’s still as dashing and attractive, but I no longer feel
that tay about him.
Right when Crystal was about to reject him, she recalled something and bit her tongue. We had a wild
night, and he didn’t use protection.
With that in mind, Crystal ced the ring in the box and closed it.
After a moment of silence, she uttered, “It’s not my safe period now.”
Henry understood what she meant. While blushing, he let out an ufortable cough and said,
“There’s no need to take a morning-after pill. I didn’t…”
Crystal remained unconvinced.
Although she wasn’t a religious person, she believed that if she were to get pregnant, she wouldn’t get
an
abortion.
Henry didn’t want her to take the morning-after pill, so she decided to head out to buy the pill herself.
In the end, he gave in and said, “All right. I’ll buy the pill for you.”
Crystal gave a slight hum in acknowledgment. “Thank you!”
Henry was annoyed by her polite demeanor.
As he was getting dressed, he pinched her chin and uttered in a bitter tone, “At times, I think you’re
merely pretending not to like sex. When we were in the middle of it, you looked like you were enjoying
yourself. Afterward, however, you would act otherwise!”
Henry was being blunt, and Crystal didn’t want to yield, so she pulled the nket away there and then
and walked toward the bathroom. After she closed the bathroom door behind her, she eximed, “I’ve
never pretended not to like sex. I admit I enjoyed it!”

Henry was aroused at once. Oh! That woman is killing me!
He then put on a shirt and went downstairs to buy the contraceptive pill.
When he returned. Crystal had already finished taking her bath and gone through her skincare routine.
She was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the view outside.
Henry closed the door, poured her a ss of water, and gave the pill to her.
When Crystal was taking the pill, Henry gazed at her and asked softly, “Crystal, are you really not
giving me another chance? Am I not worthy enough?”
Crystal froze momentarily before swallowing the pill.
A bitter taste lingered in her mouth.
In the next moment, Henry hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Crystal, I want to be a father! It
doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl. I want to have a child with you, and I hope our child will have your
brown hair and fair skin. I’ll cherish and protect our child!” Crystal stiffened.
Henry then caressed the back of her ear and added in an even gentler tone, “Have a child with me,
Crystal! That’s what I want!”
Right then, Henry’s phone rang and interrupted the intimate atmosphere.
It was a call from David, and he ordered sternly, “Henry, return to Barnwood this instant. Melora tried.
taking her own life by taking three sleeping pills. Your mom is bawling uncontrobly! Apparently,
Robert is cheating on your sister, and his mistress even came over to kick up a fuss!”
Henry was feeling rather helpless. Three sleeping pills? Did she think she could kill herself that easily?
Yet, this issue has to be resolved. I bet Crystal is part of the reason Dad is so agitated. It’s just that he
chose to keep it to himself.
With that in mind, Henry pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and said, “I’m going back to Barnwood!”
Crystal had heard Henry’s conversation with his father, and she liked Melora. Hence, she said, “Go
keep herpany!”
Henry froze and looked at her with a half-smile on his face. After a while, he asked, “Oh? Do you care
about her so much?”
Crystal didn’t want to respond to that, so she got into bed and shut her eyes.
Perhaps due to her exhaustion, her actions seemed fragile and weak.
Henry couldn’t help but approach her to give her a kiss. He then grumbled softly, “Did we have so
much. fun that your knees have gone weak?”
Crystal threw a pillow at him in annoyance.
Chuckling softly, he reached into the nket to tease her. “You’re still putting on an act! I know how
much you enjoyed yourself just now. Why are you acting otherwise? If I were to leave you, you would
surely miss having such a stud like me to please you!”
It had been a long while since thest time he joked around with her that way. All of a sudden, Crystal
fell into a daze because she was reminded of their time together back then.
Henry seemed to have recalled something simr, so heposed himself and gave her a peck on the
lips. “I’ve got to go! Don’t go looking for Seth!”
Henry took his private ne back to Barnwood.
The moment he entered the Miller residence, he sensed the distress in the air..
The sight of Henry made the beautiful and loving Julia feel as if her savior had arrived. She went up to
him and whispered, “Have a word with your sister. She hasn’t eaten anything today, and she even took
three sleeping pills!”
“Everything will be okay. I’ll check on her!” Henry consoled his mother.
Julia nodded with tears in her eyes.
When Henry was walking up the stairs, she called out to him but hesitated to speak. “Henry! I…”
Henry knew what was on his mother’s mind. Therefore, he smiled and said, “Mom, I’ll exin to Dad
later!”
With that, Henry continued walking up the stairs.
After Henry pushed the door open, he saw Melora lying in bed, with the nket covering her face.
Henry sat by the bed and tried pulling the nket away but to no avail.
“You better not suffocate to death after failing to kill yourself with three sleeping pills. You’ll only end up
being the butt of the joke on the news and humiliating the Miller family!” he teased.
Hearing that, Melora instantly pulled the nket away and embraced Henry.
Henry knew she was upset and hurt, so he caressed her head and asked in a gentle tone, “Were you
throwing a tantrum or trying tomit suicide?”
With her head buried in Henry’s chest, she grumbled moodily, “You’re so mean, Henry!”
“How is that so?”
“Not only did you not tell me Crystal and Robert were in a rtionship, but you’re also dating her!”
Henry chuckled when he heard those words. He ended up leaning against the headboard as he started
to stroke her head, trying to sway her by saying, “They were in a rtionship, but it was merely a puppy
love rtionship. It meant nothing. I’m the first man Crystal slept with!”
Melora wasn’t convinced. “Must a rtionship only mean something when there’s sex?”
“Do you think having a meal together with someone means you’re in a romantic rtionship with them?
In that case, wouldn’t that mean our housekeepers are Dad’s mistresses?” Henry queried with a
straight face.
Melora was rendered speechless.
