Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Do You Love Me

Crystal drove straight home, afraid that he would pester her.

John and Anna were delightfully surprised at her unexpected return.

Anna pulled her inside and said cheerfully, "Speak of the devil! Your dad was just talking about how much he missed you. Father and daughter sure think alike!"

Crystal put down the fruits and approached John.

They had a lengthy conversation.

Just then, Anna's voice sounded from the kitchen. "Crystal, lend me a hand, will you?"

Crystal agreed with a smile.

No sooner had she entered the kitchen than Anna swiftly shut the door after her.

"What's the matter, Madam Anna?" Crystal was confused.

Anna pulled her to the window and pointed downstairs. "Isn't that Mr. Miller's car? It's been parked there for a while now! What's going on? Did both of you get into a fight or did you guys split up?" Crystal did expect Henry to pursue her all the way here.

She cleaned the strawberries indifferently. "We've ended things."

Henry got out of his car carrying a gift box and looked as if he was about to visit them upstairs.

Anna lowered her voice as she said, "I can see that he kinda likes you. Crystal, aren't you going to think this over?"

Crystal shook her head.

At that very instant, the doorbell rang.

Anna covered her mouth and smiled. "Look who's here."

Crystal was exasperated.

She would have been on cloud nine for several days if he'd done such a thing in the past. But now. that their absurd relationship had ended, she found it pointless. "I'll talk to him." She opened the door ahead of Anna.

Henry was elegantly dressed, holding a bag of imported fruits in his hand. He gazed deeply at Crystal.

Crystal shut the door behind her, stepped out, and whispered, "What are you doing here, Henry?"

"I'm here to visit Mr. and Mrs. Winters."

Crystal bit her lip lightly. "We're over. You don't have to do this."

"Crys, who's there? You should invite him in instead of sneaking around outside," John called out from inside the house right then.

Crystal fibbed, "He's just an insurance agent."

John was obviously convinced.

Crystal gently shoved Henry. "All right, you can be off now."

Henry refused to budge and yelled into the house, "Mr. Winters, I'm Crystal's boyfriend."

Crystal hit the roof. "You're absolutely shameless!"

"You're right! Crystal, you have a choice between introducing me to your dad as your boyfriend. or a friend with benefits."

Crystal flushed as red as a tomato.

Henry reached out to pinch her check lightly. "If you still refuse to let me in, I'll find a way to stay overnight here."

Crystal would never allow that to happen.

Unfortunately, John was already at the door and was greeted by the sight of an attractive and polished young man arguing with his precious daughter. Henry swiftly composed himself and restored his image as a quintessential gentleman.

He greeted suavely, "A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Winters. I'm Henry Miller, your attorney as well as Crystal's boyfriend."

So he's Mr. Miller! John instantly took a liking to Henry.

"Why did you let Mr. Miller stand outside?" John looked at Crystal, then smiled apologetically. "Please pardon my daughter for her ignorance."

"It's fine! She's absolutely wonderful! Besides, I think she's adorable when she throws a tantrum."

Crystal felt embarrassed by his statement as she followed behind him.

Henry felt completely at home at the Winters residence.

His shrewdness made it easy for him to get into people's good graces. He addressed Jolus with deference and praised Anna's culinary skills, much to their delight. They would have offered 2/5

Crystal to Henry on a silver platter if they could.

John was in high spirits.

He brought out his chessboard. "Henry, let's play a round or two!"

Henry quirked his lips. "Sure. Please go easy on me." He then took off his thin black overcoat and handed it to Crystal, saying gently, "Prepare a plate of fruits for us, will you?" John and Anna exchanged a satisfied glance.

Crystal gritted her teeth and had no choice but to do as she was told.

Little did she expect Henry to enter the kitchen while she was cutting the fruits. He even closed the door behind him.

"Henry, what do you think you're-

Henry cut her off with a kiss.

Her eyes were wide as she stared at him in shock.

"Have you forgotten how to kiss? Crystal, relax and let me take the lead." Henry said in his husky

voice.

Crystal's slender neck was stiff.

She swung her fist at his shoulder.

"Henry, you b*stard!"

"Hush! This b*stard is about to kiss you now."

Engaging in such behavior was dangerously thrilling.

Her parents were just a door away. They would discover what she and Henry were up to if she made any noise. Crystal rested her fist on his shoulder.

Henry held her slim waist and ran his hands back and forth around it.

He was so skilled in kissing that Crystal gradually became carried away despite their unfavorable location. Nevertheless, she still felt ashamed.

Crystal froze when Henry made to take a step further.

She felt immense terror whenever he tried touching her there.

The immense pain was all she remembered from that night.

"Stop..." Crystal leaned against his shoulder. "Henry, please let me go. I can't afford to play along with your games!"

Henry was at his limit as he had been celibate for several days.

While he could sense Crystal pushing him away, he knew her body craved him. It was her mind that refused to give in.

He tilted his head and nibbled her car.

"Crystal, I have no intention of toying with you!"

He was sincere in his intentions to pursue and get into a serious relationship with her.

He sorely missed the time they had spent together.

"I don't want to! Henry, I admit I have feelings for you, but I don't want to continue this relationship anymore!"

She pushed him away and opened the door.

Henry felt extremely uneasy.

It took him a while to calm himself down after being hot and heavy with Crystal. John, who'd just opened the door to the kitchen, noticed it easily. Regardless, the knowing smile on his face never faltered.

"Henry, aren't you coming?"

Henry pretended to wash his hands. He glared at Crystal and replied, "Give me a minute."

Crystal blushed slightly and scurried to her room to hide after serving the fruits.

Henry stayed at the Winters residence for quite a long time and departed only when it was late into the night.

"Crystal, I'll be making a move." He stood outside Crystal's bedroom.

Crystal ignored him.

John was exceptionally fond of Henry. He urged Crystal, "Crys, don't be so rude. Come on out and send him off."

Crystal wished to tell him once and for all that she did not want him over ever again.

She silently put on a coat and followed Henry downstairs.

"Get in." Henry opened the door to the passenger seat.

Crystal didn't budge. "Let's just say it here."

Henry lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He took a puff and smirked. "What do you want to tell me? That I shouldn't come over ever again?" Crystal stared daggers at him.

Henry cornered her against the car with one hand and closed the distance between them. "Your body is far more honest than you are regarding your feelings for me. Why won't you get together with me?"

He gently kissed her in an attempt to rouse her passion.

Crystal initially resisted but eventually surrendered and let him do as he wished.

After some time, she murmured, "Henry, do you love me?"
