Chapter 73 Domineering Henry
As Crystal stroked her hair gently, she replied in a regretful tone, “It went out of shape while. I was asleep.”
Henry flashed a faint smile before adding. “Send me the time and address. I still have a busy few days ahead of me.”
Crystal ran back into the bedroom to grab her phone and did as he requested.
Upon receiving it, Henry set a reminder.
When he raised his gaze back up, he was greeted by the sight of Crystal staring intently at
him.
Cognizant that she was enamored with how handsome he was, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of masculine pride as he pinched her cheeks gently. “Have I mesmerized you? Why didn’t you dare look when I was taking a shower?”
The manly charm Henry exuded while speaking caused Crystal to blush.
While she pretended to clear the table, Henry stopped her. He suggested in a raspy voice, “Leave it for the housekeeper tomorrow.”
Crystal could tell from his tone what his intention was, yet she wasn’t the kind to make the first move. On top of that, she still couldn’t figure out what was going through his mind given. that he had refrained from sleeping with her so far.
Thereafter, Henry carried her back into the bedroom and, just like the night. himself in a simple manner.
As Crystal lay in his arms, he whispered into her ear, “We’ll leave the rest for Saturd
about that?”
Nuzzling her face against his warm neck, Crystal was too embarrassed to speak. After spending so much time with each other, she knew how domineering Henry was as a person.
Even in bed, he wanted to dictate everything, including the smallest of details.
Consequently, Crystal had no choice but to play along with his every whim.
As she fell asleep from exhaustion deep into the night, Henry watched her beautiful face in the darkness.
He returned to the condominium in a gloomy mood. However, it changed Unlock succeeded of the bene aner Crystal took meticulous care of him and allowed him to have hi
her.
She had heard about what happened to Robert from Madison. The latter told her that Henry did show some mercy in the end. Despite Robert’s pathetic condition, he would likely. recover in a month or two.
After Crystal related it to Anna, the latter commented through gritted teeth. “He got off easy
this time!”
Nonetheless, Crystal remained indifferent to it. “All that matters is that Dad is all right. At the end of the day, Robert is Henry’s future brother-in-law. There’s no way he would destroy hist sister’s marriage because of me.”
As an epiphany struck Anna, she exclaimed, “Crystal, I have let you down!”
Even though she had declared that she would never sell her daughter, she still stood idly by
and watched as Crystal grew increasingly close to Henry. She would lie to herself in an attempt to assuage her conscience despite knowing that Henry wasn’t a good person.
However, Crystal shook her head. “It’s not your fault, Madam Anna!”
She wasn’t John’s biological daughter, yet the latter not only showered her with love but also didn’t have his own children for her sake. Hence, she felt there was nothing she wouldn’t sacrifice to repay her debt of gratitude.
