Chapter 65 Forced Herself To Sleep Robert suddenly turned over and opened the secret photo album on his phone.
There was only a single picture in that album, and it was a photo of Crystal.
It was two or three years ago. Back then, he had often worked overtime until late at night, and she had always waited for him to return after preparing dinner. That night, she had waited for so long that she had fallen asleep on the table.
When he returned home, exhausted, he saw her sleeping and his heart melted, prompting him to take the photo.
After that, he broke up with Crystal to pursue Melora, but he never deleted the photo, and he himself didnât understand why.
Why did I keep it? I didnât like her that much or treated her well in the past.
He stared at the photo until he heard a knock on the door. A second later, Chelsea spoke. âRobert, thereâs something I need to talk to you. about.â
âCome in,â replied Robert as he put away his phone.
Chelsea couldnât help but feel heartbroken when she saw how haggard her son looked upon entering.
Despite that, she still remarked harshly, âYour relationship with Crystal is a thing of the past, Robert. Now that youâre engaged to Melora, you mustnât disappoint her! Besides, Crystalâs living with another man now. Her reputation will be tarnished sooner or later. How can our family accept a daughter-in-law like that?â
Robert frowned and said coldly, âShe isnât planning to reconcile with me either.â With that, he grabbed his coat and exited the room.
âWhere are you going?â Chelsea followed behind him.
âBack to the office.â
Instead of starting the engine immediately, Robert merely sat in the Lotus.
He shut his eyes as he thought about his motherâs words. He felt it was worse than death to hear that Crystal was living with another man. If I hadnât pushed too hard, maybe she wouldnât have met Henry and lived with him.
wale al returned to the condominium before five in the afternoon. Unlock succeeded Henry usually returned at seven. She wanted to prepare dinner before that.
She was a bit of a clean freak, so she took a shower after making dinner.
Humming joyfully, Crystal deposited the clothes she had bought earlier into Henryâs. wardrobe. They blended surprisingly well with his expensive clothes when hung together.
She then withdrew the items she had bought for him from the bag, which were two shirts and a belt.
All three items were from an international brand. They were expensive.
She gently stroke the items, imagining Henryâs handsome look when he wore them, and could not help but blush.
Right then, her phone rang. It was a call from Henry.
Henry didnât have a great temper, but he treated her well after confirming their relationship. âIâve got a challenging case in my hand, so Iâll need to work overtime for the next few days.â
âYouâre not returning home for dinner?â
âYeah.â He was going to hang up immediately, but he added, âI may only have enough time to return home and change my clothes these days.â
Suddenly, Crystal felt awful for spending so much money during the day.
Henry was genuinely busy, so he ended the call swiftly after.
Upon putting her phone away, she stared at the shirt she had bought him calmly as joy. receded from her countenance.
She ate dinner alone before lying on the bed. Iâm not used to this. Usually, Henry will hug me and do something...
Red colored her cheeks. Why am I looking forward to his hugs?
Crystal forced herself to sleep, but she kept waking up at night. Even until the next morning, Henry didnât return.
When Marie arrived, she explained, âMr. Miller is often this busy. Donât worry about it, Miss. Winters.â
Crystal nodded.
As Henry didnât return for the whole night, she couldnât enjoy her time at home with ease. Upon deliberation, she asked Marie to prepare an extra set of breakfast so she could send it
