After all, she and Henry were once madly in love, and he used to spoil her to death.

After taking a moment to calm herself down, Crystal was about to start her car when Henry's call came in.

Crystal answered the phone with her usual gentle voice, "Hi, Henry."

Henry froze when he heard her soft voice on the phone.

That was when he realized it had almost been a week since he last spoke to her. She was always asleep by the time he got home, and he would have left the house by the time she woke up the next day. "Where are you?" Henry asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I'm about to head home," Crystal replied.

Henry glanced at his watch and said, "I'll come home for dinner later. Prepare a meal for me."

"Okay," Crystal said after a brief pause.

She had a conflicted feeling in her heart as she felt the warmth of her phone in her hands.

Given her relationship with Henry, she had expected him to tell her to lie in bed while waiting for him to come back. As such, she was surprised that he asked her to make dinner instead.

Living an ordinary life like a sweet couple was something that Crystal once found herself enjoying.

However, Henry had started going after his first crush instead, and Crystal had no idea what she should do next.

With Marie gone, Crystal had to drop by the supermarket to buy the ingredients herself.

After paying at the cashier, a few youngsters with mischievous grins on their faces slipped her some newspapers

at the entrance of the supermarket.

"Heres a sample of the new and improved Barnwood Daily! It contains really exciting news that will blow your mind, so please take a look!"

Crystal ignored their cheeky grins and stuffed the newspapers into her grocery bag before placing it into the trunk.

It wasn't until she got home and retrieved the ingredients from the grocery bags that she realized Henry was all over the headlines in the newspapers. To be specific, it was a scandal between Henry and Audrey that made the headlines.

Apparently, they had run into each other while he was in Hawen.

In the picture, Audrey could be seen tugging at the hem of Henry's shirt while the two stood in front of the hotel's entrance. Her reddened eyes suggested that she had been crying. Even so, she was staring at Henry with a defiant look on her face.

Henry had turned around slightly, so only half of his face was captured on camera, but Crystal could clearly see the look of hatred and pity in his eyes. Crystal was so shocked that she just stood there and stared at the picture in the newspaper.

After what seemed like forever, she snapped out of her dazed state and felt an aching sensation in her muscles.

Fortunately for Crystal, her relationship with Henry had not developed that much, so it wouldn't be too hard for her to get over him.

She then tossed the newspaper asides and calmly prepared dinner.

Henry had a thing for sour-tasting dishes, but his stomach couldn't exactly handle them very well.

Hence, Crystal made him a grilled fish in lemon and butter sauce, a bowl of stew, and two stir-fried vegetable dishes.

It was almost seven by the time she was done preparing the food, but Henry had yet to come home.

Right as Crystal was wondering if she should give him a call, Henry's call came in.

"Hey, Crystal. I have a business dinner, so I won't be coming home for dinner tonight. I'll be late."

Crystal didn't get mad at him, though. "Have someone drive you home if you're going to be drinking."

Henry fell silent for a while before replying, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Crystal stared silently at the food that she had prepared.

Eventually, she slowly sat down at the table and ate her dinner alone,

As there were lots of leftovers, she packed them up in a lunchbox and brought it downstairs to feed the dogs.

It was about half past ten when Henry got home, which wasn't really all that late.

He saw Crystal crouched underneath a tree outside the condominium while feeding a small white dog. Henry knew that she had a habit of feeding the dog, but this was the first time he had seen her in action Since it was a little chilly at night, Crystal wore a letterman jacket over her shirt.

That jacket belonged to Henry, so it was a lot bigger than her size, which made her seem all the more skinnier.

Instead of making his way over, Henry simply puffed on a cigarette as he stood next to his car and watched her in silence.

Crystal could be seen gently petting the dog while gazing at the flowers around her. She did not scem upset in the slightest.

After she was done petting the dog, Crystal made her way back upstairs.

Henry walked up to the tree and glanced at the food the dog was having

Grilled fish in lemon and butter sauce? I can't believe this dog is eating something that was specifically prepared for me!

The dog didn't know him, so it barked at him aggressively.

Crystal received a WhatsApp message upon returning to the condominium unit.

It was a thirty-second video from Madison.

Upon tapping on the message, Crystal saw about seven to eight people having fun in the private. room of a high-end club.

Of course, Henry and Audrey were among the group.

Henry was smoking a cigarette while leaning against the couch, Crystal loved the way he looked when he smoked. Audrey was playing poker with someone else while seated next to him. After she had seemin Henry simply chuckled at her in response.

The video then ended at that point, and the screen went black after that.

Crystal's lips curled into a helpless smile as she knew Madison had sent her that video with good intentions.

She was about to delete the video when the door opened, and Henry came in wearing a white. shirt and grey pants.

He also had a black trench coat draped over his shoulders.

That outfit matched the one he was wearing in the video, which meant he had met up with

Audrey earlier that night.

Crystal stared calmly at him as he took his coat off and glanced at the dining table.

"I've already caten!" Crystal said.

Henry nodded and sat down at the dining table.

"Make me some pasta," he said while casually flipping through the newspaper, only to tense up when he saw the article about him.

There were pictures of him and Audrey all over the front page, some of which were taken at the hotel.

He turned toward Crystal and frowned slightly at her in response.

"Some random person handed it to me while I was shopping for groceries earlier," Crystal explained indifferently.

Henry placed the newspaper down and recalled how relaxed she looked while feeding the dog earlier.

Hmph... She seems to be doing just fine even though we haven't spoken in a week.

Although it was Henry who got into a scandal with his ex, he still wanted to pick a fight with Crystal anyway.

"Don't you want to ask me about it?" he asked with a snicker.

Crystal felt uncomfortable with the way he was questioning her, but she maintained her smile as she replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Miller. I know better than to interfere with your private affairs. You have every right Henry simply lit up a cigarette and flashed her an amused smirk.

Crystal couldn't care less about his taunts at that point.

"And I have every right to choose whether I feel bothered by it," she added.

Henry couldn't help but feel surprised at how much Crystal had changed.

She was no longer the submissive pushover that he could bully easily. Instead, she had become sharp-tongued and could hold her own in a direct confrontation with him.

Henry swallowed hard and told her to go make him something to eat.

Crystal was still wearing his jacket at the time. Since she would have to cook, she went into her room and got changed before preparing his meal.

Henry watched her, taking in her amazing figure and great posture when cutting up the
