Chapter 112 Lecture
Henry returned to the condominium with a grim expression.
When Crystal saw that, she asked. “What’s the matter?”
Henry fixed his gaze on her.

She had already changed into a dark–colored dress with flower patterns and was wearing a champagne–colored suit, her coffee–colored hair resting behind her.
Henry gestured for her to approach him with a wave of his hand, and she sauntered toward him.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and asked, “I called Madam Anna earlier, and she told me it was your birthday a few days ago. How about I make it up to you on Saturday?”
Crystal was pleasantly surprised.
He kissed her lightly for a while and said, “Send me to my office.”
Something’s bothering him. I bet it’s related to that person in his heart. I don’t think I should ask him about it, though. Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “I can send you to work every day if
you want.”
Henry smiled. He patted her body lazily and went to the dressing room to change his clothes.
Crystal approached the Morning Dew and stroked it. Henry’s a good lover, but he’s not a good man. He dotes on me, but he refuses to love me. I’m glad I realized that early. Otherwise, I would be so enamored with him that I would confess to him and tell him I wanted to stay with him forever. Even if my brain is made of rock, I can still predict how he’ll respond to that.
“Crystal.” When Henry stepped out, he noticed she was lost in her thoughts.
Crystal sized him up and flashed a faint smile. “You’re looking handsome today, Mr. Miller!”
Henry’s lips curved upward.
During their ride to the office, they didn’t speak a word to each other. It wasn’t until he alighted from the car that he said, “I may be a bit busy in the next few days.”
“I know… you’re busy.” Crystal was very understanding.
In response, Henry kissed her.
Crystal held the steering wheel and joked, “It’s only a few days, yet we’re acting like an old couple. Even kissing feels like an official affair now.”
Henry was initially in a pretty bad mood, but when he heard that, he seemed to have come alive again. “Just wait. I’ll take care of you once I’ve finished my work!”

“I’ll be waiting, then.” Crystal smiled, then watched as he entered the building. It seems that the woman. the atomic bomb in his life, has really returned.
Crystal didn’t think too much about it.
She met Emelia at a cafe. When the latter rushed into the building, she removed her sunglasses. “It’s so hot…
She emptied a cup of iced coffee in one go before settling down on a chair. “Ah, that’s better.
After that, she started talking about the issue of finding a place to rent.
Crystal pushed a contract toward her. “I think this will interest you.”
With a raised eyebrow, Emelia read the document in detail and was taken aback. Holy cr*p!A brand new building of four hundred square meters that only asks for five hundred thousand of yearly rent? How did she get so lucky?
She kissed Crystal on the cheek. “I love you, Crystal! It must’ve been difficult getting this contract!”
Emelia was single, but that didn’t prevent her from imagining an erotic story between Crystal and Henry. Just imagining it excites me!
“It’s not hard, actually.” Crystal uncomfortably twirled her hair. “He gave it to me on his own
That news satisfied Emelia. “A woman has to plan for herself. Just staying with him mindlessly won’t guarantee anything from him. You must obtain something more concrete for yourself from him, which you did. You have my thanks on this matter.”
She raised Crystal’s total shares to forty percent, which the latter found fair.
They had a wonderful time drinking coffee and chatting with each other.
Emelia knew Crystal was good friends with Madison, so she asked, “What’s going on with
Madison lately? Didn’t her husband decide to turn over a new leaf? Why did I see him entering a hotel with Clementine again last night?”
Crystal was stunned and lost in her thoughts for a while. She stirred her collee slowly and said, “Perhaps Madison doesn’t know.”
As Emelia was an outsider, she didn’t continue the topic.
After she got into her car, she called Madison. Before she could say anything, Madison cut straight to the point. “You’re calling because you’re wondering about Zachary’s affair with Clementine, right?”
With a tense, slightly trembling voice, Madison continued, “There’s nothing I can do. I know he’s a terrible person who can’t change, but I love him. Furthermore, my family relied on him for years. I know you look down on me for this, Crystal, but please don’t tell me to divorce him. I can’t do it, Crystal. It just isn’t possible for me to go through with it. As long as he doesn’t bring Clementine home, I can ignore his infidelity.”
