Chapter 367 Familiar


    Melora asked indignantly, “What’s in it for me?”


    Henry patted her on the head gently.


    What’s in it for you? You get to get together with Alfred, get married, and give birth to Berthold!


    Melora huffed, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re using me as bait because I’m a girl!


    Then, when she arrives, you’re just going to chase me away, right?”


    Yes, you’re right.


    Henry didn’t deny anything and simply straightened his tie with his long, graceful fingers.


    He looked as elegant as ever.


    Melora smirked as she called the number. I guess not everybody falls for my brother’s charm.


    She had already heard that her brother was pursuing a girl called Crystal.


    She was a high-achieving student from the Department of Music, and she was known for being an


    excellent pianist.


    Melora had seen some pictures of her before. She was definitely an attractive girl, and Melora wasn’t


    surprised her brother liked her.


    The call went through, and Crystal, upon answering, immediately rejected, “Mr. Miller, I told you that I


    don’t want to ept the invitation.”


    Melora turned


    round to look at Henry.


    He patted her on the head gently.


    Like a social butterfly, she started, “I’m Melora… Yeah, I’m Mr. Miller’s sister! You can just call me


    Melora.. To be honest, I was the one who invited you. I really like the piano as well. Could you please


    come? If transportation is a problem. I cane and pick you up.”


    Crystal wondered, Melora? Isn’t she being way too friendly to someone she’s never met?


    Melora knew just how to pull at a person’s heartstrings. After she said a few sweet words, Crystal


    began to give in.


    In the end, Melora had even managed to wheedle out what time Crystal’s sses ended.


    Melora hung up and held onto Henry’s phone. “So, what’s my reward?”


    Henry took out his checkbook and wrote down a number.


    He wrote her a check for ten million and passed it to her.


    After that, he sent her a picture. “Here’s Mr. Lodge for you to keep. Print this out and stick it on your


    headboard or something. Keep him as your target.”


    Melora pouted. “I want to see Crystal!”


    Henry didn’t want to bring a third wheel along, but he ended up bringing her anyway.


    Crystal seemed to enjoy Melora’s way of talking.


    At the Department of Music, Crystal had just finished ss. It was already four in the afternoon and


    since she had no more sses left, she was nning to call a taxi and go home.


    A golden Bentley Continental was parked right outside the school gates, drawing a lot of attention due


    to its shiness.


    Crystal didn’t spare it a second nce and crossed the road. However, the driver of the Bentley drove


    over and stopped right in front of Crystal. The car window was rolled down and an elegant, beautiful


    face appeared. “Get in, Crystal.”


    Crystal wasn’t used to the sudden invitation.


    Right then, Henry got out of the driver’s seat and helped her open the back door. “Come on and get in.


    I’m not allowed to park here.”


    Crystal was forced to get into the car.


    She had just sat down when Melora began talking her ear off.


    Since it was the first time they met, Crystal didn’t really know what to say to her.


    Things ended up getting slightly awkward.


    Henry could sense it, of course. When he stopped at the next red light, he kept one hand resting on the


    steering wheel and looked into the rearview mirror, meeting Crystal’s eyes.


    Her eyes were clear and had an innocent look in them.


    He had never seen her like that before.


    His heart began to beat faster and he smiled gently.

    He had a good temperament and was attractive as well. Just a gentle smile from him was enough to


    make Crystal blush.


    Melora noticed her red cheeks and silently approved of her brother’s charm.


    Half an hourter, they arrived at Henry’s condominium. By the time Henry parked his car, Melora had


    already brought Crystal upstairs with her arms wrapped around Crystal’s affectionately.


    When they opened the door, Crystal spotted a cerulean vase filled with a few white roses on the


    cab. next to the door.


    She nced inside and saw the Baroque-style decorations and the Morning Dew piano. Her heart


    skipped. a beat.


    Why does everything look so familiar? It almost feels as though I lived here in my past life. All of these


    are my favorite. It’s my dream house.


    She caressed the vase gently, unable to pay attention to everything else around her.


    “Do you like it?” a man asked her from behind.


    Crystal almost jumped in surprise.


    She turned around to see Henry, whose handsome face was harder to read than usual.


    His dark eyes were staring straight into her soul.


    Crystal felt her legs be weak.


    She had always been an honest person. She said straightforwardly, “I like the decorations here. It feels


    familiar for some reason. It’s almost as if I’ve seen it in a dream before.”


    She looked a little bit confused, and Henry wanted nothing more than to pull her into his embrace.


    However, he knew it wasn’t the time to do so yet.


    He smiled gently. “I’m d you like it.”


    Crystal didn’t dare to even nce at him.


    She turned to Melora. “Didn’t you say you wanted to look at the piano?”


    Melora dragged her over while saying. “This ce used 10 look like a jail cell! It was all ck and white


    and it was so boring to look at. Honestly, it didn’t seem like a ce any living person would enjoy. A few


    days ago, though, it suddenly started looking like this! In my opinion, he’s only doing it to win a girl over.


    She spoke incessantly while the other two of them began to feel a weird romantic atmosphere growing


    in the room.


    Crystal couldn’t help but turn to look at Henry.
