Chapter 312 I Want You To Know
After ending the call, Crystal saw Henry leaning against the door, gazing at her affectionately.
She waved her phone. “That was Lara. She has already arrived at Hulcaster.”
Henry approached her and bent down to kiss the tip of her nose.
“I’ve given Remi his milk. He’s consuming two hundred and forty milliliters at the moment. The doctor
advised that it’s time to start introducing supplementary food.”
Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck. “What about Skyler?”
“She’s eating breakfast downstairs,” Henry told her as he leaned in for another kiss.
After sharing a prolonged kiss, he delicately held the tip of her finger and asked, “What type of wedding
would you like?”
Crystal chuckled softly. “We’ve been together for so long already. Are you still going to hold a
wedding?”
When Crystal left to wash herself up, Henry sat at the end of the bed and lit up a cigarette. However,
instead of smoking it, he stared at it in silence until it burned out.
He had sensed that Crystal still harbored reservations about him.
Her decision to reconcile with him seemedrgely influenced by Skyler and Remi, which he found
completely understandable.
However, Henry wasn’t satisfied with just that.
He wanted Crystal to love him and to depend on him.
When Crystal stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed Henry was smoking.
She was surprised to see that.
Henry gazed at her silently for a few moments before reaching out. “Come here!”
Crystal went over as told.
He pulled her into his embrace and whispered softly, “How about a date tonight, Crystal? I’ll
demonstrate just how amazing a thirty-four-year-old man can be!”
Crystal rxed in his arms as she gently stroked his handsome brows.
It looks like the previous incident gave him a heavy blow.
She agreed to the date.
Henry whispered into her ear, “I’ll make sure you cry tonight!”
Crystal blushed prettily as she pushed him away and walked out of the bedroom.
Downstairs, Skyler was busy eating when she saw her parentse down the stairs.
They might havee down one after another, but it felt different now.
Skyler hugged her father’s leg. “Are you staying with us from now on?”
Henry picked her up and gave her a kiss before humming in acknowledgment.
Skyler hugged him tightly in return.
Observing how delighted the little girl was, Crystal beamed a gentle smile and scooped up Remi. So
this is what a family feels like.
Henry treated her well and took good care of their family.
He made the decision to reduce his shares in thew firm. Instead of dedicating excessive time to
socializing after work, he chose to invest his free time with Crystal and the children. They frequently
embarked on outings together, and as a result, Skyler and Remi thrived.
To the public, Henry was the perfect husband.
Six monthster, Crystal returned the management rights of Seeas Corporation to him.
She found that, inparison to running a business, she preferred a more tranquil life. Most
importantly, Skyler and Remi required her care. As the children continued to grow, no matter how many
housekeepers she hired, they could never rece the role of their parents.
Many were surprised at her decision, as she had managed Secas Corporation well for almost two
years.
Madison was the only one who understood why.
One day, she invited Crystal to their usual cafe hangout. When Crystal arrived, Madison couldn’t help
but acknowledge that she was the most sessful among their batch of girls. Crystal was affluent, had
ample free time, and was a mother to a daughter and a son.
Crystal had forty-five percent of Secas Corporation’s shares, and Remi was the heir of Miller
Corporation.
No one had a more fulfilling life than Crystal.
However, Madison was the only one who dared to ask, “Crystal, did you get back together with Henry
for Skyler and Remi’s sake?”
Crystal shed a smile. “Of course not. We’re doing well now.”
Despite saying that, she stirred her coffee, looking a bit dazed.
Yes, after some time, I’ve grown ustomed to Henry’spanionship. I almost forgot that he lost a
portion of his memories. While our rtionship mayck a crucial part, it doesn’t hinder us from living
well.
Henry had mentioned wanting another child, but she disagreed.
She knew he was disappointed but didn’t voice his thoughts out loud.
Technically, there was no problem between them, but Crystal could sense that their intimacy. had
waned. He was upied with his responsibilities, and she was upied with looking. after the
children. At times, she even slept with Skyler.
Crystal spaced out quietly.
Madison held her hand and asked softly, “Crystal, do you still love him?”
Love? Of course I do,
Crystal was still in a daze when her phone rang. It was a call from Henry.
He should be heading home from work, as Crystal could hear the traffic noise in the background. His
voice remained gentle, as usual. “I just got a call from Dad, and he mentioned that he took Skyler and
Remi with him. Where are you? How about going to a concert?”
Crystal told him, “I’m having coffee with Madison.”
After a brief pause, Henry let out a soft chuckle. “Seems like you’re too busy to keep mepany. Mrs.
Miller, I’m feeling sorry for myself!”
Madison quickly mouthed, I’m fine if you leave!
However, Crystal thought that it had been some time since theyst met.
Upon Crystal’s return to the mansion, she found the hall brightly illuminated. A spread wasid out on
the dining table, and it appeared that Henry had prepared it.
He was seated on the couch, engrossed in reading a finance newspaper.
Despite hearing her footsteps, he didn’t look up.
Crystal shrugged off her coat and sat down beside him. “Are you upset?”
cing the finance newspaper aside, Henry pulled her into hisp and kissed her, a hand wandering
underneath her skirt. His voice was hoarse as he said, “You’re backte, Mrs. Miller. You’ve neglected
me!”
He had been too busy that it had been over ten days since theyst had sex.
They had a harmonious rtionship. If Henry desired intimacy, Crystal would seldom refuse him.
However, his actions grew bolder, as though he wanted to ravage her right there and then on the
couch. Crystal stopped him and said softly, “The housekeepers will see us.”
He nuzzled his nose against hers, his voice husky. “I’ve asked them to take a break from work.
Besides, they’re not kids anymore. So what if they catch us? It’s perfectly normal for couples to have
sex on the couch from time to time.”
He was too insistent, so Crystal caved in eventually.
Henry was thirty-five years old, a man in his prime. Clearly, having sex once wasn’t enough to satisfy
his desires.
After that, he brought her upstairs to the bedroom, where they had sex for a couple more. times. He
finally stopped past midnight.
The night was dark, and Crystal drifted into a restful sleep due to her exhaustion..
Henry had exerted a lot of energy and should feel tired, but he couldn’t fall asleep.
He shut his eyes, recalling the video of Crystal back then.
In truth, he wasn’t a lustful man who would force his wife to have sex with him. It was just that it had
been some time since they reconciled, yet Henry could still detect that Crystal was holding back.

Back then, she forgave him easily.
They got back together and opted not to hold a wedding, choosing instead to live harmoniously.
Yes, a harmonious life.
It was not that leading a harmonious life was undesirable, as he was aware that ny percent of
married couples followed this path. They would raise their children together and engage in intimacy
asionally when they needed to release built-up tension.
However, the more amicable their rtionship became, the more Henry felt a sense of emptiness.
He wasn’t certain if Crystal still loved him.
Henry wasn’t the type to express his love every day. Regardless, he would shower her with gifts on her
birthday, Valentine’s Day, and even the children’s birthdays, along with derations of his affection.
Nevertheless, she seldom reciprocated by saying she loved him.
Henry had the urge to smoke, but he was aware that Crystal despised secondhand smoke, so he
suppressed his craving.
Lying behind her, he ran his hands across her body.
After some time, his desire surged, leading him to have sex with her yet again.
Throughout the ordeal, Crystal didn’t wake. up.
Early in the morning, Crystal woke up.
The couch was in disarray, strewn with their clothes, so she tidied it up.
She was shy and didn’t want the housekeepers to talk about them in private.
Henry was fastening his necktie as he descended the stairs. Upon noticing the now-empty couch, he
let out a hearty chuckle. “The housekeepers won’t say anything even if they see that. You’re in your
thirties, so why are you still as shy as a young girl?”
Crystal prepared breakfast for him.
Her expression was tender, indicating her good upbringing.
Henry wrapped one arm around her and gave her a gentle kiss. “There’s an express letter for you on
the coffee table,” he informed her.
After that, he sat down and sipped on his coffee calmly.
Crystal cast a nce at the express letter, which had arrived from Hulcaster. Inside, there was only a
photograph of Lara.
Lara was eight months pregnant, standing beside a shelf in the library.
Her background was an elementary school in the outskirts.
Crystal flipped the photograph and saw a letter addressed to her by Lara.
Mrs. Miller, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for helping me secure this job. I love it, and it feels
like I belong here. My current tranquil life brings me a sense of serenity unlike before. Moreover, I’ve
found my life partner. He’s an upright man and also a teacher at this school. He’s willingly taken on the
role of a father to my child, and we’ve officially registered our marriage. I can’t thank you enough for
giving me this second chance. Mrs. Miller, you might not be aware, but when Mr. Miller agreed to assist
me, I had hoped that my situation might somehow touch his heart or affect your rtionship negatively.
However, when his assistant informed me that you had graciously agreed to take me in and ensured
the best treatment, tears of gratitude overwhelmed me. I had felt like a fool. This is goodbye, for real. I
genuinely wish you nothing but happiness! Please take care!
Crystal read the letter several times, her heart burdened with emotion. Despite the intimate. moments
she shared with Henry the previous night, it wasn’t enough to alleviate the weight on her heart.
Gently, she ced the photo aside.
Henry guessed, “Is it from her?”
“Yes,” Crystal replied.
She ced the photo back into the envelope and kept it in a safe ce.
A whileter, she broke the silence. “Lara is married.”
The news caught Henry off guard. He hadn’t been in contact with Lara and had no knowledge of her
current situation. However, noticing Crystal’s reddened eyes, he yfully teased her, saying. “It just
goes to show how important a woman’s looks are. Despite being. pregnant, she still managed to find
herself a husband!”
Crystal red at him.
She still felt upset as Lara reminded her of Audrey.
They had both left indelible marks in her life.
However, Crystal thought that Lara was different from Audrey. She was prepared to forgive Lara
because thetter didn’t harbor ill intentions, despite inadvertently scaring Skyler while attempting to
get closer to Henry that one time.
Crystal said in a low voice, “I can’t bring myself to like her, though.”
Henry came over and gave her a gentle hug.
Rather than dwelling on the topic of Lara, he embraced her and inquired gently. “What about me,
Crystal? Do you have feelings for me?”
Crystal returned his hug and sighed. “Yes, I do.”
Henry caressed her hair. “Okay, stop crying. After breakfast, let’s go pick Skyler up and bring her to
school!”
On the way to pick up Skyler, Crystal suddenly inquired, “Next week, our university is hosting a
celebration. Will you be avable?”
Henry was driving with one hand, and he held her hand with his other as he replied, “I’m always
avable, Mrs. Miller.”
For the remainder of his life, he belonged to Crystal.
He would patiently wait until the day she told him she loved him.
The gold Bentley Continental slowly drove into the Miller residence. They had just stepped out of the
car when they sensed something off.
Henry closed the car door and made his way into the hall.
Inside, he noticed several police officers in uniforms, evidently preparing tomence their
questioning.
“Dad, what happened?” Henry frowned.
From where he was seated on the couch, David’s shoulders sagged. In a hushed tone, he revealed,
“Melora has been kidnapped.”
Henry froze.
Numerous possibilities raced through his mind. Eventually, he let out a soft chuckle and responded,
“Maybe she’s off having a good time somewhere or enjoying a drink. She can be quite foolish at times.
What would anyone gain from kidnapping her?”
Julia was covering her face, sobbing quietly.
David red at him. “How can you say that about your own sister?” he retorted.
The police officers couldn’t help butugh out loud. They shook hands with Henry and said, “Mr. Miller,
we’ll let you know once we receive any updates.”
Henry nodded. “Thank you!”
After the police officers departed, he took a seat on the couch and cast a nce at Crystal, who had
entered the living room behind him. Slowly, he asked, “Crystal, who do you think kidnapped Melora?
Are they after her money or her looks?”
Crystal was speechless.
He knows who did it but is deliberately asking me?
