Crystal followed Henry back to the apartment. She thought for a while before eventually asking him, “Did you… do something to the Sloan Group?” 

The man paused slightly before casually asking in return, “Are you going to beg for mercy on Robert’s behalf?” 

“No way.” Embarrassed, she fiddled with the bottles of wine. 

Henry watched her for a while before sitting on the couch and turning the TV on. After a few minutes of him watching the financial news, he saw that Crystal was still lingering in the same place. He then asked in a voice devoid of emotion, “Aren’t you going to cook?” 

Crystal only nodded in response.

When she changed into her indoor clothes, she couldn’t help but wonder if Henry didn’t have needs. Her current function was to cook, clean, and run errands for him. Somehow, she was working on different shifts from the part–time maid who took care of the house. 

I couldn’t tell how abstinent he could be. 

Henry didn’t waste time dilly–dallying as Crystal busied herself with the cooking. After he made a few calls, he put down his phone and went to take a shower. That was when Crystal’s phone on the coffee table lit up. 

Noticing this, he peeked at the kitchen and quietly took her phone. 

It didn’t take long for him to unlock her phone since he knew her password. As soon as he unlocked it, he saw two WhatsApp messages from Robert. 

‘I finally know how worthless some people’s love can be. It can change in the blink of an eye!‘ 

Henry snickered when he read the messages. He is awfully sentimental, isn’t he? he thought as he sent a reply with an indifferent expression. ‘Throw it in the bin then, if you think it’s worthless.‘ 

After sending the message, he deleted Robert’s messages and blocked the man. 

On the other end, Robert was rendered speechless. 

Crystal cooked up a total of five dishes, one of them being soup. All the dishes looked and tasted great, especially the cajun seafood boil, which was her specialty. Everyone who tried it before said it was delicious. 

She called Henry over to eat when she was done cooking. However, the man watching the financial news only lazily got up with a grumpy look on his face after she called him a few times. 

She knew better than to piss him off after sensing that he was in a bad mood. 

Henry took a few bites before he suddenly commented, “None of the dishes you cooked is the food I like.” 

Crystal froze for a moment before she eventually couldn’t help but say, “But Marie told me the type of food you enjoy. Do you really not like any of the dishes?” 

The man’s eyes were ablaze. “Why don’t you ask me about what I like to eat?”

It was safe to say that Crystal was speechless at this point.

She used to think that her life cohabiting with him mainly involved letting him indulge in his pleasures. Unexpectedly, Henry was a nitpicker in his daily life. She couldn’t help but think about the times he would stop midway even when she was obviously in the mood… Does he have some kind of health problem that he can’t talk to me about? And is that why he torments me in other ways? 

Crystal started sympathizing with him. Even a noble and respected man like him isn’t perfect… 

As such, she tolerated his behavior and uttered, “I will make sure to keep that in mind when I cook next time.” 

Despite that, Henry huffed and continued to nitpick. He ended up barely eating a few bites. “You’ve cooked for Robert before, haven’t you? Aren’t these dishes his favorite?”
