There was a complex look in Henry’s eyes–one filled with pain and astonishment.
Crystal didn’t know if he still loved Audrey, or if he did, how much, but she could tell that he‘ definitely hated her.
Hatred was the opposite of love.
He never forgot her….
“You must be feeling so awful right now, Crystal,” Robert taunted, standing beside her.
Crystal smiled faintly.
“Do you get a kick out of laughing at me. Robert? Shouldn’t you be happy with your life now? You should be glowing like the sun from all the bliss.”
Robert clenched his fists.
What have I gained out of this? What happiness did I obtain?
He had lost the woman who loved him for four years, and now, he could only watch her live with another man–and it was all his own doing.
Henry was right. I’m the one who single–handedly gave her to him. I’m the one who lost her,
The man gulped.
“Crystal, what if I gave everything up just so we could start over together again?” he couldn’t help
but ask.
Crystal’s eyes darted toward him.
She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
Start over? Us? What makes you think that could ever happen? You walked all over me, and now you’re asking to start over after nothing but an apology? What a joke!
Crystal’s eyes reddened as her lips trembled slightly.
She stared at the man, now feeling a wave of hatred she had never felt before toward him.
At that very moment, Melora called out to them softly. “Robert Crystal! There you are.”

Her voice alerted the ex–lovers as well, and Henry looked over slowly.
He noticed how close Crystal and Robert were standing while staring at each other.
The woman’s eyes were slightly red as though she was about to cry, whereas there was a look of reminiscence and regret in Robert’s expression that he failed to conceal in time.
Henry narrowed his eyes at the sight as displeasure swirled within him.
Audrey tucked her jet–black hair aside and asked in a playful tone, “Is that your girlfriend?”
Henry didn’t deny it.
The woman leaned into his car and chuckled. “It’s been a while, Henry! I was worried you’d stay away from women after how I hurt you, but I’m glad to see you doing just fine.”
Henry smirked. “Long time no see. You were clearly overthinking, though.”
Audrey tilted her head.
Her beautiful facial features and scarlet lips glistened under the sun, and she turned heads. wherever she went. Henry realized that she hadn’t changed a bit after all these years.
Crystal and Audrey were completely different from one another.
Crystal was a domestic woman who enjoyed cooking. She had a sensible personality and was easy to please. Of course, she loved dolling herself up too.
Crystal…
Henry turned around, only to find her missing.
She’s gone. She must’ve seen me with Andrey.
The man was stunned briefly.
Audrey’s eyes narrowed.
She had returned from the Kingdom of Brundela after hearing that Henry had found himself someone new, just so she could see what kind of person had the right to walk alongside him. There’s nothing great about her, but what’s with his reaction?
“Henry, aren’t you going to take me to the manor?” she asked carefreely like an old friend.
Henry silently gazed at where Crystal had stood for a while before turning back to Audrey. “Some of the elders do want to see you.”
Audrey tried to hold him by the arm, but he evaded her.
“This isn’t appropriate, Audrey.”
“Like you said, everything between us is in the past,” Henry responded while striding toward the
manor.
corner.
He had seen the way Henry spaced out while staring at the spot Crystal was at previously.
Since when did he like her that much? I should’ve realized it long ago. The way he looks at her–he wants her so badly. Men understood men best. Why would Henry act like that if he didn’t like her or want to own her?
Everyone there knew she was once with Henry, and now that she had returned, they all glanced at Crystal with interest.
“Don’t think too much, okay, Crys? They’re just childhood friends. Besides, Audrey’s already. engaged to a foreigner, and she’s just back in town to sort out some contract disputes. She won’t get between you and Henry,” she whispered to Crystal.
She couldn’t quite explain that she only shared a physical relationship with Henry.
Still, she decided to avoid him since she liked him.
For the entire afternoon and night, Henry didn’t see her at all. The Miller Residence was huge, after all, so it wasn’t hard for her to stay out of his sight.
Crystal sat alá marble table inside the gazebo on this breezy night, enjoying a glass of cocktail.
