Chapter 237 His Wife
Crystal refused to fall for his trick.
She harrumphed softly. “I’m not unhappy. That’s your personal life.”
Henry let out a gentle chuckle. “She isn’t a part of my personal life. You and Skyler are what truly
matters to me.”
Turning to Skyler, he asked, “Am I right?”
Skyler climbed onto her father’sp and gazed at Crystal as though thetter was a heartless
person.
Crystal was speechless.
While they conversed, Jamie entered the room bearing a tray full of Skyler’s beloved waffles and a
selection of additional treats.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Behind her was the tall female celebrity, Thalia Zuckerberg.
Thalia was confident of herself.
Her acting skills were excellent, allowing her to win major awards. She also had a reputation for being
virtuous in the industry.
Back at Hawen, she missed the opportunity to meet Henry. Hence, she was determined not to let the
chance slip away again as she was here to sign the contract.
Jamie gestured. “Ms. Zuckerberg, please have a seat!”
Thalia smiled faintly and was about to sit down when she noticed someone already sitting on the
couch.
It was a very attractive woman, young and elegant, different from the typical skinny female stars in the
entertainment industry. The woman was slender but still curvaceous.
Thalia’s heart constricted.
Is this Mr. Miller’s lover?
As she was still trying toprehend their connection, the young girl descended from Henry’sp and
took hold of Jamie’s hand, making her way to the small table to enjoy the
snacks.
After taking a bite, Skyler invited, “Miss Winters,e eat with me!”
Miss Winters?
Thalia promptly rxed. So she’s just a tutor.
Dismissing Crystal, she settled onto the couch and directed a soft, subtly flirtatious gaze at Henry. “Mr.
Miller, I wish to delve into the specifics of the contract with you.”
Henry gave her a look before heading to the coffee machine to brew some coffee.
As Crystal loved drinking coffee, he got someone to install an antique Irushean coffee machine here so
she could enjoy authentic Mandheling coffee every time she visited him.
He took off his suit jacket.
The well-tailored shirt perfectly highlighted his upper body’s muscles, and he exuded strength and
manliness.
Thalia felt that after searching and seeking, she had finally found the right man for herself.
It was only right for him to brew coffee for her.
Henry might be a business elite, but she was a top tier star and worthy of him.
Thus, she decided to gain his daughter’s favor.
Thalia joined Skyler at the table to eat waffles and find somemon topics to discuss with the little
girl.
When she reached out for the waffle, Skyler grabbed thest one and stuffed it into Crystal’s mouth.
“Mommy, is this delicious?” the little girl asked adorably.
Mommy? Isn’t she a tutor?
Despite her experience, Thalia found herself thoroughly embarrassed. She discreetly cast asional
nces at Crystal and dared not look down upon thetter. Yet, a glimmer of optimism remained within
her, hoping that Crystal hade here because of their child as they had already gotten a divorce.
Right then, Henry approached them and ced a cup of coffee in front of Crystal.
“It isn’t good to drink too much coffee, so you can only drink half a cup,” he said in a soft
tone.
Thalia was utterly disappointed to learn that the coffee wasn’t meant for her.
Feeling upset, she lost herposure and blurted out, “Why?”
She refused to believe that he didn’t know her intentions. Back at Hawen, she knocked on his door one
night. He had greeted her with courtesy after opening the door, yet he hadn’t invited her inside.
Subsequently, she got wind of his departure from Hawen that very same night.
Henry had always kept his professional and personal affairs
separate.
Patting Crystal’s shoulder, he said, “Bring Skyler to the private room. I need to work for a bit.”
Crystal knew he didn’t want to embarrass the woman and picked Skyler up.
The little girl sprawled on her shoulder and stuck her tongue out cheekily.
Returning to his desk, Henry made a call. “Mr. Fudge, pleasee to my office.”
The vice president, Joseph Fudge, immediately agreed.
Henry paid no attention to the unwanted visitor and went through his files while chatting with Jamie.
Soon, Joseph arrived.
When he showed up, Henry gestured toward Thalia and spoke calmly. “Miss Zuckerberg would like to
discuss the contract further. You can handle that. Oh, wasn’t the endorsement fee settled at twelve
million per year before? Due to recent financial constraints, lower it to ten million. If Miss Zuckerberg is
unwilling, find someone else!”
Joseph was surprised to hear that.
What is going on?
Henry had already dismissed them. “Miss Zuckerberg, please contact Mr. Fudge for further
negotiations.”
He had given her a chance to avoid being humiliated, but she failed to gauge the situation. Thus, he
saw no need to be courteous any longer.
He wanted to find a spokesperson, not a mistress!
Thalia was utterly humiliated.
She finally realized that his rejection that night wasn’t a game to Henry. He never even liked her, and
she was merely delusional.
She couldn’t afford to offend him. Despite the humiliation and the reduction of her fee by two million,
she maintained herposure and politely stated, “Mr. Miller, I look forward to
a productive partnership!”
Henry gave an icy nod in response.
He wasn’t about to give her a second nce.
Seeing that, Thalia was disappointed.
After she left, Henry went into the private room to find Skyler sleeping soundly.
Crystaly beside her, her arm supporting her head as she delicately traced Skyler’s features. with her
fingers. Her expression was focused and gentle.
Henry couldn’t help but take off his shoes and settled down behind Crystal.
Wrapping one arm around her waist, he mumbled, “I didn’t flirt with her, I promise!”
Crystal knew that well.
If he wanted to, there would be plenty of opportunities for him to do so in Hawen.
However, she didn’t want to probe into his personal affairs as there was nothing between them except
for their daughter, Skyler.
She remained silent.
Henry knew what her silence meant, but he was upset that she didn’t care about him.
yfully, he let his hand glide over her waist and leaned in, gently nipping the back of her ear. “Crystal,
you certainly have a knack for getting under my skin!”
Crystal reminded him, “Henry, don’t wake Skyler up.”
It was rare for Henry to get the chance to lie in the same bed as her. He pulled the nket up to cover
their bodies as he ran his hands across her body.
Skyler cracked her eyes open just a bit to sneak a peek at them before turning over and letting out a
hearty snore.
Crystal was startled.
She grabbed Henry’s hand and gave him a pointed look.
Henry entwined his fingers with hers, drawing his forehead near to hers, and murmured, “I’ve missed
you deeply, Crystal. I can’t ept that you haven’t missed me even a little. Even
if you try not to, thoughts of me will unconsciously cross your mind.”
Crystal kicked him in response.
Her voice was hoarse as she responded, “Don’t you have to work?”
He reluctantly nuzzled her neck before getting out of the bed.
After he left, Crystal held little Skyler in her arms and kissed thetter before closing her eyes.
Henry kept wanting to have sex with her and would take advantage of her whenever possible. Crystal
wasn’t particrly conservative, but besides not being able to forget the past, she was also afraid of
getting pregnant.
After all, the intense pain she experienced during Skyler’s birth left asting imprint on her body.
