Chapter 273 I Want To Be Close To You
Henry retrieved a set of clean garments from the closet and proceeded to change in Crystal’s presence
without hesitation.
Crystal merely stared at him without a word.
After changing his clothes, Henry met her gaze and was about to say something sarcastic when his
phone rang.
He nced at his phone and realized it was David. “Hey, Dad.”
Crystal couldn’t hear what David said, but Henry’s gaze fell on her. “Yes, she’s with me. We’ll go home
tonight and have dinner together with you.”
After ending the call, he said calmly. “Dad wants us to join them for dinner tonight. I’m a little busy. You
go ahead with the child first.”
Crystal knew well that he wasn’t busy; he just didn’t want to give her a ride.
She didn’t force him and agreed readily. They both made their way downstairs.
Henry told the driver to give her a ride while he opened the door to a ck McLaren.
He was about to get into the car when Crystal stepped forward. There was only a car door separating
them.
Crystal said calmly. “Henry, you can treat me coldly, but Skr is very sensitive. I hope you won’t say
those things when she’s present.”
Henry recalled the child mentioned in the documents.
She resembled Crystal with her fair skin and curly hair.
She’s quite adorable.
He gave an indifferent nod. “Don’t worry.”
Crystal was relieved to hear that.
She watched as the ck sports car sped off, slowly disappearing before her eyes.
She stood there for a long time.
Joel sympathized with her and came closer. “Mrs. Miller, do get into the car. Standing for prolonged
periods isn’t advisable when you’re pregnant.”
Crystal held her back and forced a smile. “I do feel a little sore!”
She got into the car to head back to the mansion.
Back there, she locked herself in the study and drew all the curtains.
The study was dark.
She leaned back on the couch and listened to the recording Henry had left behind countless times
before
In the evening, she picked Skyler up and went to the Miller residence.
When they arrived, Berthold flung himself at her and greeted her warmly, “Aunt Crystal!”
Crystal squatted down and patted his head.
The little boy’s cheeks turned pink.
Skyler stuck her tongue out at him. He’s a boy, but he keeps blushing. Shame on him!
David and Julia came over to wee them.
Julia brought the kids to have dessert, while David talked to Crystal. “Did you see him?”
Crystal replied with a hum..
Not wanting to put her elders in a tight spot or make them angry, she didn’t say anything about her
predicament.
However, David knew what had happened.
He gave Crystal a knowing look and said slowly, “Aren’t you mad at him for making that request?
Crystal, you shouldn’t have to indulge him because he sacrificed for you! You know what a b’stard he
used to be. Tolerating him won’t benefit you in the long run. You’ve pped him so many times in the
past, yet he still begged to get back together with you, didn’t he?”
Crystal remained silent.
David was aware that she had a soft heart, and she wouldn’t bear to hurt Henry’s feelings.
He loved them both and felt conflicted.
Henry arrived home at seven, right when dinner was served.
After parking his sports car, he walked into the mansion to see Skyler running toward him. The little girl
flung her arms around him and nuzzled up against him. “Daddy, I miss you so much!”
Henry stiffened.
After all, he couldn’t remember spending any time with children. However, his heart softened as he
picked Skyler up.

Perhaps it’s because we’re rted by blood.
David was sad to see his son holding his granddaughter without any aversion.
Henry has no idea how much he used to adore Skyler!
Julia was already wiping her tears away.
The reunion dinner was a silent affair.
Henry sat next to Crystal, but they seemed to be strangers to each other.

Inside, Henry was smoking by the window.
Crystal came to a stop at the door and gazed at him silly.
The man’s profile disyed wless symmetry, As he hated, the smoke dissipated swiftly into the
atmosphere.
Sensing her gaze. Henry turned around and looked at her. He put out his cigarette and said calmly.
“You’ve learned how to tell on someone now, huh?”
Crystal closed the door behind her and slowly approached him.
As he fixed his gaze on her, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Dad found out about that himself. I didn’t tell him anything Henry, we’re married. I don’t want to be
separated from you. I want to be close to you. Isn’t that hormal?”
There was no telling what Henry was thinking
He leaned against the wall and gazed at the woman in his arms.
She was soft and obedient, seemingly ready to do anything he wanted her to do. Feeling excited, he
asked hoarsely. “Do you want to have sex with me that much
