Chapter 40 Robert, This Isn’t Necessary Between Us
Crystal didn’t say anything.
Robert quietly watched her for a moment before he set the wine glass down and stood up. “Let’s eat.”
“You don’t have to do this.” Crystal wore a cold expression on her face.
The man started chuckling when he heard those words.

He walked up to her and pinched her sharp chin as he murmured, “You’re right. We don’t have to do this. After all, you think I’m a monster! Crystal, do you hate me that much?”
She stood up straight. She wasn’t going to let herself cry for a man like him.
It wasn’t worth it.
Staring at him, she stated, “My loving or hating you doesn’t change the outcome.”
“Love me, then. It will at least make you feel better, hmm?” Once he started gently stroking her face, he realized he couldn’t take his hands off her.
He was surrounded by other women, not to mention a beautiful fiancee.
However, Crystal was different from them. She was a piece of meat he couldn’t bring himself to take a bite of for four whole years. Now, he wanted to gobble her up and have her right down to her bones.
Pressing his cheek against hers, he purred, “How about we negotiate a deal now, and you stay here tonight?”
Crystal’s eyes immediately went red despite the extraordinarily calm words she uttered next.
“I have to go home tonight. Also… if you want me to stay with you, you will have to wait until the day my father and stepmother have safely left Barnwood. There is nothing for us to talk about otherwise.”
When Robert heard that, he took a step back and sized her up.
He eventually chuckled. “Since when did you have such a sharp tongue?”
He must have been in a good mood today as he surprisingly agreed to her words. “Sure, we will do as you say. As long as you promise to be with me, I will let Mr. Winters and Aunt Anna leave Barnwood. I will also return everything I got from the Winters Family!”
Crystal quietly let out a relieved sigh at that.
Suddenly, Robert hugged her slender waist and propped his chin on her thin shoulder as he cooed, “I’ll buy you a villa in the suburbs and I’ll accompany you when I’m free, okay?”
Crystal was cold and indifferent, but she didn’t seem as prickly as before.
Wanting to please her, he pressed against the soft flesh behind her ear. “Let’s have a child! Crystal, I want a cute daughter who is as obedient as you are.”
Crystal thought she threw up in her mouth a little.
Madison was right–Robert must be schizophrenic! Why else would he do all kinds of bad things and act affectionate

at the same time?
Her hatred toward him made her whole body turn stiff from her rejection of him.
Of course, Robert was well aware of how she felt.
He only snickered uncaringly.
She was within his grasp now, anyway. He could just take the time to train her. To him, Crystal was a clean piece of paper that he wanted to write his name all over.
Crystal didn’t stay for long.
When she left, Robert walked her to the entrance of the villa.
Crystal now had a bundle of villa keys in her hand.
“I will withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow! Your father and Aunt Anna will be fine!” He offered a small smile. “I don’t want to wait too long, Crystal, so don’t let me down, yeah?”
