Chapter 118 Good Sport
Crystal’s tone was exceptionally calm when she spoke. “Did you have fun?”
Henry took off his coat, casually threw it on the couch, and walked up to her.
He regarded her intently while fiddling with the glass of red wine on the bar.

Crystal usually didn’t drink liquor and led a highly disciplined lifestyle. When she did consurge liquor, that meant she was in a bad mood. As for the reason behind her action, Henry guessed he was the culprit.
He asked hoarsely, “Are you upset?”
Crystal didn’t respond, not wanting to lie but also refusing to divulge the truth.
And so, a prolonged silence ensued.
Henry smiled faintly. “Crystal, when we first got together, we made it very clear that we’d enjoy some time together, and after we got tired of each other, we’d part ways with no hard feelings. What’s all this now?”
She glanced up at him and asked, “Henry, are you tired of me now?”
Being no fool, Henry grasped her intention immediately after hearing her words and understood. she wanted to end things between them. Is it because of Audrey?
In one swift motion, Henry lifted Crystal and placed her on the piano, causing a low note to reverberate.
She struggled to break free, feeling too self–conscious of her current appearance. He’s simply toying with me.
She wore only a black silk bathrobe, to begin with. Her struggling resulted in the loosening of the garment and the exposing of her enticing figure. The sight of her fair, supple skin caused a lump to form in Henry’s throat.
He gulped and leaned forward to whisper beside her ear, “Are you that bothered by Audrey’s existence? Miss Winters, are you being a sore loser?”
Crystal was momentarily dazed.
The veins around her fair temples throbbed, but she managed to suppress her exasperation.
She slowly lifted her gaze and parted her red lips to speak. “Henry, why don’t you tell me what it means to be a good sport, then?”
Without waiting for him to reply, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, scaling his lips with hers and kissing him in a gentle yet passionate manner.

Henry shuddered. She has never done this before….
He enjoyed engaging in intimate activities with her in the first place. At that moment, her actions were stirring his desires like never before, causing him to forget all about their argument and indulge solely in reciprocating her fervent kiss.
Various notes echoed as their bodies‘ motions repeatedly pressed down on the piano keys.
“Mr. Miller, am I being a good sport now?” Crystal questioned him in a particularly composed
voice.
Henry looked up and stared intently at her.
Beaming at him, she said, “I apologize, Mr. Miller. I overstepped my bounds tonight. I’ll be more mindful in the future.” She paused briefly before adding sarcastically, “I will keep up with your pace at all times and strive to be a good sport.”
Hearing that, he narrowed his eyes while caressing her checks.
At that moment, inexplicable emotions churned within him.
He hoped she would be sensible and abide by their agreement, yet, at the same time, he couldn’t help but be reminded of the heartfelt and longing eye contact she shared with Robert earlier during the day after listening to her remark. So, did she dedicate almost all her feelings to Robert that there was only so little left when she came to me? I can’t believe I felt complacent about winning her affection, even thinking she might be suffering.
Henry chuckled coldly.
He bore down on her, looking determined to have her, and even made up his mind to try out all the techniques and positions he was reluctant to use in the past on her that night.
Crystal allowed him to kiss her for some time before uttering indifferently. “It’s that time of the month for me.”
“What did you say?”
“I’m on my period, Henry.”
He paused and gazed at her. His handsome face was slightly flushed, his breathing erratic. Perhaps overwhelmed by lust, he incredulously pulled her into his embrace and reached down to check.
He let go of her and sat on the stool.
Then, he lit a cigarette and puffed on it gloomily.
:05 Mon,
Her body was still trembling, though she was unsure if it was because of arousal or anger.
Soon, a thin layer of smoke lingered in the air between them, obscuring their faces.
Flicking the cigarette ash, he chuckled and stated, “Crystal, I’m not bored of you yet. I’m still quite fond of your body.”
Crystal was tired and didn’t want to tangle with him further. She asked solemnly, “Can I go sleep now?”
Henry wasn’t a man she could control, and since it was impossible for them to be together, Crystal figured it would be best for her to prioritize her well–being.
As for Audrey, she was the least of Crystal’s concerns. After all, Audrey was Henry’s old lover, not Crystal’s.
