Chapter 228 Have You Dated Anyone
While Henry was busy, Crystal was furious. Her instincts told her that the man harbored those
intentions. for her.
In order to keep a distance from him, Crystal declined the invitation to the parent-teacher meeting
Skyler sounded extremely disappointed when Crystal called. In fact, Crystal could picture the little girls
hair soaked with tears.
The mere thought of it made her heart ache.
Then again, Crystal could not tell Skyler that her father was harassing her.
Almost immediately after Crystal hung up the phone, Alfred called.
Crystal was surprised. “Uncle Alfred, you’re in Barnwood?”
Alfred was visibly stumped.
Regardless, he had been working in the real world for many years, so the words came out easily. “I’m
here to visit your mother and introduce her to an expert. What’s wrong? Do you have a problemn with
me having some free time?”
With that kind of pressure from a family member, Crystal naturally dared not voice her objections even
if she had any.
The next second. Alfred changed the topic, sounding more casual. “You’re free tomorrow night, right?
Come join me for a meal.”
As Crystal needed some distraction, she agreed.
The next day at eight o’clock in the evening, she went to the unique private restaurant as agreed.
It was only when she arrived did she find out that it was a blind date.
Apart from her uncle, a dignified elderly woman was also present. Sitting beside her was most likely her
son, who looked handsome, polite, and cultured.
When Alfred saw Crystal, he ended the conversation and announced with a smile. “There’s my niece,
Crystal.”
Crystal was in no position to embarrass him.
She smiled and greeted everyone before taking a seat.
The gentle-looking woman was Alfred’s old colleague, who spared Crystal from questions because she
already knew everything.
Alfred introduced the woman’s son.
The young man was twenty-eight years old. He graduated from a prestigious school in the Kingdorn of
Brund and was engaged in biological research.
Throughout the meal, he was very attentive to Crystal, clearly interested in her, which stressed her out.
She turned to Alfred, who only responded with a half-smile.
Alfred did not arrange the blind date. It was his old colleague’s son who liked Crystal and asked for it to
be arranged.
Since Alfred did not exin himself, Crystal had no choice but to force herself to interact with the other
party. What she did not know was that Henry was also in the same restaurant.
An important client hade to Barnwood, so Henry was treating them to a meal.
When they were getting into the most important part of the discussion, Crystal arrived for her blind
date.
Henry recognized the guests,
Thedy was Molly Hudson, Alfred’s old colleague, who had a rather high position at work.

Ewan Hudson, the only child in his family and one year younger than Crystal, was gazing at her with
adoration at that very moment.
All everyone at the blind date was waiting for was Crystal’s approval to proceed with the rtionship.
The thought of that put Henry on the edge of his seat. He stared fixedly at Crystal’s expression as if
trying to figure out what she was thinking.
It would be a lie if he said he was not afraid. After all, he and Crystal had separated for quite some
time.
When Crystal visited the restroom, Henry got to his feet. “Please excuse me. I need to use the
restroom.”
Crystal took her time to wash her hands.
Deep down, she did not want to head back to the table. The pressure was a little too much.
Right then, Henry appeared behind her, leaning against the wall and watching her in silence.
She looks beautiful tonight.
Crystal was wearing a white shirt and a beige knee-length skirt that showed off her straight legs.
Draped over her shoulders was a beige coat.
Crystal was someone born ording to his beauty standards. Now that three years had passed, she
had be more attractive to him.
Henry took a good look at her from head to toe before sayingzily, “Are you here for a blind date?
How did it go?”
Crystal visibly froze.
She had never expected to meet Henry there.
They exchanged nces in the mirror, their expressions hard to read.
After a long while, Crystal turned off the tap and said slowly. “Not bad. He’s quite nice.”
Henry lit a cigarette, took a drag of smoke, and snorted. “He looks younger than you. Do you like young
guys now? Is Pete not your cup of tea?”
His words wereced with sarcasm.
Crystal responded softly with a question, “What does my preference have to do with you?
Henry took another deep pull.
Crystal used to be attracted to him when he smoke. His sunken cheeks, especially, gave off an air of
maturity. She could not help but take a few more nces at him.
Henry chuckled. “I’m sorry. I forgot we’re divorced.”
Crystal attempted to walk past him, but he grabbed her arm and gave it a tug, pressing her against the
wall.
Her warm and soft body was pressed close against his.
It took only a few seconds for her to realize something was off about the lower part of Henry’s body.
Embarrassed and livid, she hissed, “Henry, you just said we’re divorced. So, what are you doing now?
Henry was so strong that she could not escape.
He lowered his head to press his forehead against hers and used his nose to graze hers. His
movements sent a message of his desire, making her breathe heavily.
Looking away, she demanded, “Let me go, Henry!”
Henry’s gaze darkened. “Have you dated anyone over the years?”
Crystal’s face turned as red as a tomato.
We’re in a public ce! He’s so shameless!
Her response gave Henry the answer he needed. The next second, he caressed her waist and said
mischievously, “Do you remember thest time we did it? I made you cry a few times.”
Crystal could not endure it any longer.
She gave him a tight p. “You’re disgusting!”
Henry did not mind getting pped by her.
He gently caressed his check and said teasingly, “I told you long ago you only know how to cross me.
Crystal, you hitting me shows that you know well I will spoil you.”
Crystal’s expression turned cold.
She knew he was trying to get back together. He was a smart person. He knew she would ignore him if
he did the usual things, like giving her flowers and inviting her for meals, so he decided to sexually
harass her instead.
In other words, he was seducing her.
After all, women have desires, too, and Henry was someone who understood her body and had had
countless intimate sessions with her. Even so, Crystal did not want it. She would not get into a
rtionship with him again.
She said sternly, “Henry, I’m going to say this again. We’ll never get back together.”
While he w.
Henry was about to go after her when Alfred’s voice rang out.
“What’s going on here?”
Awkwardness instantly filled the air.
Alfred sized Henry up and scoffed inwardly.
Feeling uneasy, Crystal lowered her head and said, “I’ll get going first, Uncle Alfred.”
Alfred shed her a smile. “Okay, Go say goodbye to Molly. Ewan asked for your number earlier. He
seemed rather sincere, so I gave it to him. Are you upset? It doesn’t hurt to have some options.”
Crystal did not know what to say.
In fact, she could not say anything to refuse her uncle’s intentions in Henry’s presence. Doing that
would only make it look as though she was doing it because of him.
Alfred led Crystal away.
After bidding the guests farewell, Alfred took Crystal to his car and sent her home.
Before she could say anything to refuse Alfred’s suggestion earlier, he said, “Ewan has met you a few
times and he likes you. He’s not bad, but I’ll still respect your decision.”
