Chapter 149 Committed To This Relationship

That thought was unbearable to Henry.

However, being a mature adult, he understood that he couldn't act unreasonably simply because Crystal and Ritchie were in a relationship.

For instance, he knew he couldn't intervene and separate Crystal and Ritchie or express his emotions to Crystal, pledging to make her his life partner by marrying her.

After all, he was the one who told her that he couldn't give her what she wanted.

Henry had perceived his breakup with Crystal as an ordinary occurrence. Just a few days ago, when he had unexpectedly run into her, he had experienced a fleeting sensation, but it didn't compel him to believe she was essential in his life.

However, the instant he stumbled upon the possibility of her being involved with someone else, he couldn't accept it.

Henry's heart was experiencing an unprecedented sensation, leaving him uncertain about his desires and intentions.

It defied logic to claim that Henry was captivated solely by Crystal's physical appearance, as there were numerous women who surpassed her in beauty and curves.

Henry didn't lack any attention from women. With his background and attractive looks, many people sought to please him. Crystal was the only one who walked away from him after her unsuccessful attempts to convince him to marry her.

As the mesmerizing fireworks illuminated the night sky, Henry compelled himself to look up while a bitter sensation spread through his heart.

The couple hugging each other was nowhere to

be seen.

Where did they go? The atmosphere is great tonight. Did they head to the hotel directly to have sex?

Henry experienced an intense tightening of his heart, making it difficult for him to catch his

breath.

After they finished visiting the art exhibition, Ritchie, being a gentleman, kindly offered Crystal a ride back home.

He noticed that Crystal wasn't really into him. Her good impression of him was primarily based on his/attractive appearance.

She wasn't in love with him.

Ritchie wasn't discouraged. He gave her a ride home, and they agreed to meet on another date.

The night was dark as Crystal bade goodbye to Ritchie downstairs.

Their shadows were long underneath the street lamps. Ritchie probably liked her too much that he spoke a lot before finally breaking into a smile. "You should head upstairs. Otherwise, I might talk until dawn." Crystal nodded.

She removed the scarf and returned it to him.

Instead of taking it from her, Ritchie gave her an intense look. "In the near future, I hope you can invite me upstairs, Crystal."

The implied intention behind this invitation from a mature man was quite clear.

Crystal was no longer a young girl...

She didn't reply to his question and merely smiled. "We'll see."

Ritchie chuckled and walked away, waving his hand. "Goodnight, Miss Winters."

He opened the car door and hopped into his car.

Crystal waved goodbye to him, too.

Tonight's date was enjoyable. Someone like Ritchie suits me more.

Crystal was in a good mood. She took a bath and emerged from the bathroom smelling great.

After that, she received a WhatsApp message from Ritchie.

He sent a photograph of an intricately decorated door, adorned with a festive wreath, indicating that Christmas was approaching, Crystal inferred that it was the entrance to his mansion. She flashed a faint smile and was about to reply when her phone began to ring.

The caller ID was Mr. Miller.

Crystal hesitated for a moment before answering the call, but the person on the other end of the line remained silent for a long time..

Finally, she couldn't help but break the silence. "Mr. Miller?"

"Crystal, how have you been?" Henry's voice was slightly ho a rse.

Crystal couldn't comprehend why Henry, who typically appeared indifferent, would suddenly show concern for her. However, as he had won the lawsuit for her father, she patiently replied, "Hmm... I'm good." "Where did you celebrate Christmas Eve? Did you have a great time?"

Crystal was no fool. She quickly grasped that Henry's inquiry was prompted by his discovery of something significant.

After a brief silence, she replied in a low voice, "Yes, I had a great time."

"Are you dating someone now?"

Henry sounded as if he was questioning a criminal. Crystal deliberated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I have someone now,"

"What's he like? Is he handsome? What does he do?"

Finally, Crystal couldn't take it anymore.

She lowered her voice and hissed, "Henry, it's over between us."

"So?"

"So you don't have to worry about me anymore. If you really want to know, I want you to understand that I'm committed to this relationship. He's a genuinely kind person and also quite attractive."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than she felt a twinge of regret.

Why am I bickering with Henry?

After a long silence, Henry asked softly. "Ritchie is more handsome than me?"

He then ended the call abruptly.

Crystal blinked, refusing to believe her ears.

He knew about Ritchie but pretended not to know and asked all those questions. F*ck him!

Crystal was in a foul mood and lost interest in continuing the conversation with Ritchie,

Henry's mood was even more foul.

His condominium offered the best night view in Barnwood.

After taking a shower, he stepped out of the shower dressed in a partially open black robe that revealed a glimpse of his chest, his hair still damp.

He leaned against the bar, staring at the night sky blankly.

After breaking up with Crystal, he wanted to forget her, but her presence was everywhere in his condominium.

In the closet, her bathrobe hung next to his.

The two pairs of matching slippers that she bought remained sealed.

Every single day, as he pulled open the accessories drawer, his gaze would inevitably fall upon the jewelry sets he purchased for her, neatly nestled in their velvet box. She didn't take any of these with her.

Every remnant she left behind served as a constant reminder of how she had once permeated his life, raising the unsettling possibility that she might have also invaded not only his physical space but also his very body and heart.

Recently, Henry had trouble falling asleep.

He was tired from working all day but couldn't sleep when he lay in bed.

On certain mornings, at the break of dawn, he would instinctively roll over, half-expecting to find Crystal still lying beside him. He wanted to give her a morning kiss to ignite their desires so they could have sex. Alas, she wasn't there.

He could only hug the pillow after reaching around the huge bed to find nothing.

Henry finished the red wine as Christmas Eve came to an end. He walked into his silent bedroom.

After lying in bed for a while, he decided to get up and went to the bathroom.

Soon, the shower was turned on.

As the water flowed down, the suppressed pants of a man could be heard from the shower.

When it came to an end, Henry returned to his bed, his body damp.

After switching off the lights, he felt really empty.

When night fell, his body became more honest than his own thoughts and emotions.

He missed Crystal and her presence. The last time he had sex was nearly a month ago.

The following morning, Marie came over to clean the house and prepare breakfast.

Henry walked out of the bedroom.

Marie didn't know that Crystal had moved out. She asked, "Is Miss Winters up?"

Henry straightened his the.

He sat at the dining table and took a sip of the coffee before answering. "We broke up. She has moved out of the house."

Knowing she had said the wrong thing, Marie quickly apologized.

Henry began reading the papers. "Just take note of this." After a pause, he looked at Marie. "Tidy up the bedroom and organize the closet today. Get a bag to store Miss Winters' clothes, and tell Jamie to take care of the accessories."

Hearing that, Marie knew that they had broken up for real.

This is quite sad. Mr. Miller treated Miss Winters well, and he seemed to adore her. They even had sex all the time early in the morning. Why did they break up all of a sudden?

Marie hesitated before asking, "What about her clothes? Should I throw them away after packing them up!*
