Chapter 297 Is It Still Possible Between Us
Henry had lived an unrestrained life.
Yet, at that moment, an unprecedented sense of panic washed over him. For a moment, he felt as if he
had lost something.
He wanted to grab hold of Crystal, but unfortunately, she had already decided to let go.
He had seen the diary and heard the voice recording.
Nevertheless, what lingered in his mind the most was his attitude toward Crystal during this period: he
allowed Lara to stay at thepany; he abandoned her during Christmas to save Lara; he med her
for being ruthless, and when he was given the cold shoulder, he allowed Lara to get near him to test his
true feelings; and he, in a fit of rage, got into a scandal with a female celebrity..
Throughout it all, Crystal did not kick up a big fuss. In the end, she calmly signed the papers and finally
gave up on the rtionship.
She did not want him anymore.
“Crystal!” Henry called out to her as he walked over unhurriedly.
Crystal stood frozen in ce. Under the sunlight, her 52-carat diamond glittered brilliantly, leaving
Henry’s eyes hurting badly.
“I read the diary and heard the recording!” he said in a raspy voice..
There were so many things he wanted to tell her, but at that moment, he found it difficult to utter even a
word.
As much as he was a topwyer in the country and was very eloquent in court, he was at aplete
loss now.
The overwhelming feelings he had heard in the recording were way more intense and passionate when
compared to his rtionship with Audrey back then..
After listening to that familiar voice-his voice- profusely express his love for a woman, he had to admit
that he was inundated by astonishment.
Hearing that, Crystal froze momentarily.
Whoever, she rposed herself quickly and only asked, “Where are they?”
In a hoarse voice, Henry replied, “In the car!”
“I’ll go with you to get them.”
Crystal walked toward the cemetery entrance, brushing past Henry. The man grasped her slender
wrist. unwilling to let go.
“Crystal, you promised me that you’d not give up on me! I need time!”
Crystal blinked, then lowered her gaze to her diamond ring.
“Henry, did I not wait long enough? Or did I not give enough chances? I did promise you! But it never
crossed my mind that Lara woulde into the piture, and richer have I thought she would be more
ortant than me in your heart… Aus not to forget that female celebrity! He could never bear to 1 me like
that if it were him!”
Crystal was overwhelmed by fatigue as she finished speaking
She forcefully pried his hand away and continued toward the cemetery entrance. The sun was shining
brightly, and she found it piercing to the eye…
Henry stood still without moving an inch.
He fixed his gaze on that stone wall that wrote Henry & Crystal
A sudden realization dawned upon him-he had not even had the chance to love her, but she had
alrearly left her love for him there.
News of Henry and Crystal’s divorce eventually still spread like wildfire, regardless of how the Millers
tried to keep a low profile.
Many major media outlets dared not report it explicitly, but they gave hints to suggest the rumor.
Eventually, the one who affirmed the rumor was an outsider, none other than the woman who had a
scandal with Henry previously. The best actress, Victoria Anderson, officially verified the divorce.
She did so because she had the confidence.
Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Victoria had met Henry’s wife, or more urately, his ex-wife, and knew Crystal was a beautiful
woman. The other day at the restaurant, Henry had ordered her a dessert in front of Crystal.
Sheter overheard the couple talking about divorce and thought Henry was doing it because of her.
After all,pared todies of prominent backgrounds, she was a lot more charming. Moreover.
Crystal had given birth to two kids and definitely could notpare to her in terms of body figure.
Victoria uploaded a post on Twitter: April is great, Mr. Miller!
Attached with the post was a photo of her with Henry at a banquet.
The moment the post was made public, it became a trending topic.
About five minutester, the post was being covered up, and subsequently, she deleted it.
Theizens, however, were exhrated.
No one knew if the scandal involving Henry and Victoria was authentic.
However, one thing they could be sure of was that Henry and Crystal were definitely divorced!
For three entire days, news of their divorce spread across every social media tform. The Millers
remained low-profile as usual, and neither did Crystal step forward to garner theizens’ attention.
After all, a divorce was nothing to be ashamed of
She went to work and took care of the two kids as usual. Under her care, Skyler was protected from all
the rumors too.
Many realized that Crystal was not heartbroken nor in low spirits due to the divorce. Instead, she
looked much better than she did before.
A banquet came to an end.
The crystal chandelier at the hotel entrance was bright and dazzling.
Dressed in a high-end gown, Crystal walked out alongside Ryan while discussing some matters rted
to thepany.
Thete evening in April still felt somewhat chilly.
Ryan gentlemanly draped the shawl in his hand over Crystal’s shoulders. “Miss Winters, it’s cold here.
You should put this on!”
Crystal broke into a faint smile. “Sure! Where were we?”
Ryan smiled too. “The development project in the south!”
Crystal cast her eyes down, falling into deep thought. “That’s a key project for thepany. Come with
me for the inspection next month.”
Ryan’s heart skipped a beat.
Observing Crystal’s calm andposed demeanor, he was full of admiration.
She’s amazing!
Crystal wanted to say more when someone stepped out of the car waiting for her. It turned out to be
Henry.
The man had been sitting in the car for a long time.
As a man, he could clearly tell that Ryan’s eyes were filled with affection and adoration. Obviously, he
was somewhat bitter about it. He felt even more terrible at the thought that he was the one who put
Ryan beside Crystal!
However, Crystal was not entirely surprised to see the man.
After bidding goodbye to Ryan, she hopped into the car. Henry followed behind.
“That’s not true! I don’t like her!” he burst out in a desperate tone.
He had never intended to marry someone else. All that he had done back then was merely to anger
Crystal.
Nheless, Crystal was unfazed.
She wound down the car window slightly andughed lightly. “Given our current rtionship, it no
longer matters whether it’s true or not. Mr. Miller, I’ll surely bring you a mary gift whenever you
decide to get married again!”
Her words sparked anger within Henry. How very generous of her, huh?
He directed his gaze to the other side of the car and lit a cigarette. Not even two puffster, he put it
out.
“Are you nning to get married again?” he asked, slightly frustrated.
Crystal gave it a thought. “Probably not! But who knows? Maybe I’ll meet a suitable man someday!”
The first person that came into Henry’s mind was Ryan.
They do look really intimate just now….
At the next junction. Crystal asked the man to get down, However, he imed that he wanted to visit
the two kids.
Crystal fell silent.
“Henry, I don’t care if you’re regretting it or if you’vee to realize that you’re interested in me now.
Let me be very clear with you. You’re allowed to meet the kids, but please don’t harass me physically
or verbally… Otherwise, I doubt we can be an amicably divorced couple,” she uttered. “It’s gettingte.
Visit them another day.”
She rejected his request as she knew that was not his real intention. A man and a woman alone in the
dead of the night? I won’t be able to retaliate if he forces himself on me.
In the end. Henry exited the car along the roadside.
Joel praised Crystal for doing the right thing. He said it was only just for women to y hard to get.
Crystal, however, felt mentally exhausted.
As the night grew darker, the expensive ck sedan rolled to a stop outside a standalone mansion.
Upon exiting the car. Crystal wrapped the shawl around herself tighter. Under the warm yellow lighting,
she headed upstairs to see her kids.
It was all thanks to David that she could keep Skyler and Remi by her side.
She was very grateful about that.
As Remi was still young, he fell asleep right after eating. The housekeeper had taken great care of him.
Crystal headed to Skyler’s room.
Inside the pink children’s room, Skyler was lying in bed in her pajamas, face down.
Crystal took off her heels and walked over to pat the young girl on her backside.
Skyler flipped around to show her fair, chubby face.
She touched Crystal’s dress andmented, “Mommy, you look great!”
Crystal tucked the girl under the covers and gently asked, “It’ste. Why aren’t you asleep?”
Skyler cuddled into her arms and softly replied, “I miss Daddy!”
A pang of sadness struck Crystal
“How about you give Daddy a call?” she said tenderly.
Skyler’s face lit up at once.
She pulled out her pink phone arad daled Henry’s number. The call went through very quick prately
to give the man the w orig impression. Crystal left the room to let Skyl
There was no doubt that Skyler liked Henry
The first thing she said was. “I miss you. Daddy!”
She wanted to sleep with her father and ce her tiny feet on her father’s belly as she thought i was
warm andforting to do so.
Henry had just returned home
He loosened his tie and solemnly asked. “Where’s your i
In a delicate and sweet voice. Skyler answered, “Mominy’s back! She smells great! Buttstill mix you.
Daddy… I want you to read me fairytales”
A mixture of emotions surged within Henry.
He had always been a cold-hearted man. Yet, hearing the child’s soft voice at that moment made him
miss her terribly.
He longed for a family.
Henry found a storybook and patiently read it to Skyler.
As the night grewter, Skyler soon fell asleep.
Eventually, Crystal had to take the phone away. “She’s asleep, she whispered.
Upon hearing her sweet voice, Henry felt a flutter in his heart. The feeling was right, and he popped the
question he had been yearning to ask that night. “Crystal, is it still possible between us
Crystal was taken aback.
After a moment, she muttered, “No.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
She did not shed a tear this time. The reason was simple-she had shed too many tears for the man
already. In those days when she thought she could be unbothered and nonchnt, she was actually
consumed with agony..
On the other side, Henry slowly hung up the phone,
Then he poured himself a ss of whiskey.
He searched for that video clip and repeatedly watched how Crystal satisfied his urge and desire.
At that moment, he realized that he had once loved her so much
They were once so deeply in love.
But now, he found it hard to ept that Crystal would fall in love and get intimate with another man
someday. The mere thought of it left him feeling miserable.
She should belong to only me
Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door.
Henry turned off the video. “Come in!” he said in a raspy voice.
It was Melora. She brought a te of supper into the room. “Henry, you haven’t been eating well the
past few days.
Henry shed a weak smile as an acknowledgment of her kind gesture.
Melora sat down and said uneasily, “Henry, many people are pursuing Crystal right now. Don’t you feel
at all threatened?”
Those words instantly made Henry lose his appetite.
He pursed his lips and asked, “What are they doing to win her over?”
Melora softly answered, “Sending her gifts!”
“Then what does Crystal like?”
Melora mulled it over for some time. “She likes you the most,” she responded with teary eyes.
Henry froze, not expecting to hear that answer.
He lit a cigarette and took several puffs. The words Melora said yed in his mind, and eventually, he
broke into a bitterugh. “But she no longer wants me now!”
It was his intention to reconcile and get back together with her.
Sadly, Crystal was not even willing to spare him a chance.
