Chapter 273 I Want To Be Close To You
Henry retrieved a set of clean garments from the closet and proceeded to change in Crystal’s presence
without hesitation.
Crystal merely stared at him without a word.
After changing his clothes, Henry met her gaze and was about to say something sarcastic when his phone
rang.
He glanced at his phone and realized it was David. “Hey, Dad.”
Crystal couldn’t hear what David said, but Henry’s gaze fell on her. “Yes, she’s with me. We’ll go home tonight and have dinner together with you.”
After ending the call, he said calmly. “Dad wants us to join them for dinner tonight. I’m a little busy. You go ahead with the child first.”
Crystal knew well that he wasn’t busy; he just didn’t want to give her a ride.
She didn’t force him and agreed readily. They both made their way downstairs.
Henry told the driver to give her a ride while he opened the door to a black McLaren.
He was about to get into the car when Crystal stepped forward. There was only a car door separating
them.
Crystal said calmly. “Henry, you can treat me coldly, but Skylar is very sensitive. I hope you won’t say those things when she’s present.”
Henry recalled the child mentioned in the documents.
She resembled Crystal with her fair skin and curly hair.
She’s quite adorable.
He gave an indifferent nod. “Don’t worry.”
Crystal was relieved to hear that.
She watched as the black sports car sped off, slowly disappearing before her eyes.
She stood there for a long time.
Joel sympathized with her and came closer. “Mrs. Miller, do get into the car. Standing for prolonged periods isn’t advisable when you’re pregnant.”
Crystal held her back and forced a smile. “I do feel a little sore!”
She got into the car to head back to the mansion.
Back there, she locked herself in the study and drew all the curtains.
The study was dark.
She leaned back on the couch and listened to the recording Henry had left behind countless times before

In the evening, she picked Skyler up and went to the Miller residence.
When they arrived, Berthold flung himself at her and greeted her warmly, “Aunt Crystal!”
Crystal squatted down and patted his head.
The little boy’s cheeks turned pink.
Skyler stuck her tongue out at him. He’s a boy, but he keeps blushing. Shame on him!
David and Julia came over to welcome them.
Julia brought the kids to have dessert, while David talked to Crystal. “Did you see him?”
Crystal replied with a hum..
Not wanting to put her elders in a tight spot or make them angry, she didn’t say anything about her predicament.
However, David knew what had happened.
He gave Crystal a knowing look and said slowly, “Aren’t you mad at him for making that request? Crystal, you shouldn’t have to indulge him because he sacrificed for you! You know what a b’stard he used to be. Tolerating him won’t benefit you in the long run. You’ve slapped him so many times in the past, yet he still begged to get back together with you, didn’t he?”
Crystal remained silent.
David was aware that she had a soft heart, and she wouldn’t bear to hurt Henry’s feelings.
He loved them both and felt conflicted.
Henry arrived home at seven, right when dinner was served.
After parking his sports car, he walked into the mansion to see Skyler running toward him. The little girl flung her arms around him and nuzzled up against him. “Daddy, I miss you so much!”
Henry stiffened.
After all, he couldn’t remember spending any time with children. However, his heart softened as he picked Skyler up.
Perhaps it’s because we’re related by blood.
David was sad to see his son holding his granddaughter without any aversion.
Henry has no idea how much he used to adore Skyler!
Julia was already wiping her tears away.
The reunion dinner was a silent affair.
Henry sat next to Crystal, but they seemed to be strangers to each other.
