Henry was momentarily stunned.
“Just leave it. I have yet to figure out what to do with them.”
Marie continued, “And what about the piano? You presented it to Miss Winters as a gift. I believe it’s called Ludweig or something like that, and it’s quite valuable. Since you don’t play the piano, Mr. Miller, should I arrange for Jamie to have it removed?”
Henry was speechless.
“That piano is called Morning Dew,” he explained.
Marie’s lips twitched. I don’t know Brundelan well. Henry’s gaze landed on the Morning Dew. A while later, he said softly, “Leave it here for the time being.”
Marie stopped asking questions.
Ha! Mr. Miller can’t even bear to part with Miss Winters’ belongings. It’s evident that he still has feelings for her. Based on my experience, I won’t be surprised if Mr. Miller soon pleads for her to return to him.
Marie went back to work, leaving Henry spa cing out with his coffee in his hand.
In the following week. Henry developed a troubling habit. He would consistently tail Crystal after
finishing work, inadvertently crossing paths with her on numerous occasions.
Sometimes, it happened at Crystal’s favorite places.
Sometimes, it happened at Ritchie’s favorite bars and restaurants.
While Henry and Ritchie were not particularly close acquaintances, their families knew each other, leading to a certain level of acquaintance between them as well.
Ritchie wasn’t close to anyone in their social circle and didn’t know that Henry used to date Crystal. However, as they kept bumping into each other, he soon realized something was off,
He asked Crystal about it.
Crystal was taken aback as she thought Ritchie knew about her past relationship with Henry.
After regaining her composure, she revealed to Ritchie that she used to date Henry.
She glanced at Ritchie.
If Ritchie couldn’t accept it, she wouldn’t impose her desires on him. She understood that not all men were capable of accepting certain situations.
Ritchie didn’t say anything.
Nevertheless, when he sent her back home, he confessed his feelings to her in the car. “Crystal, if Hemy wants to get back together with you, will you say yes?”
Men have an inherent understanding of their own kind.
Everyone knew that Henry would never marry anyone, so Ritchie guessed that was why they broke up in the end.
As Henry frequently appeared in front of Crystal, Ritchie discerned that the persistent presence of this arrogant man stemmed from his inability to set aside his pride and plead for Crystal’s return to his side.
He wanted to know if Crystal would get back together with Henry.
After asking that question, Ritchie stared at Crystal intently,
Leaning back in the chair, Crystal looked sideways at Ritchie. She had been getting along well with Ritchie these days. While their time together might not have been filled with intense passion, they shared some heartfelt moments. Apart from the gentle kiss he planted on her forehead on Christmas Eve, he had always respected their boundaries.
She knew Ritchie valued her, and she cherished their relationship. She wanted to make it last.
A long while later, Crystal said softly, “Ritchie, I’m serious about us.”
Finally, Ritchie’s tense body relaxed. No one could imagine how nervous he had been as he awaited her answer. Despite being aware of his privileged background and good looks, he humbly acknowledged that he paled in comparison to Henry’s seemingly remarkable qualities.
Henry was influential and charming, and he was called “The Most Charming Man” by the magazines.
That made Ritchie lose some of his confidence.
However, he felt relieved to hear Crystal’s answer.
He leaned in and planted a kiss on her cheek. “It’s only nine. How about you invite me upstairs?”
Crystal ran her fingers through her hair.
Back at the restaurant, a kid had accidentally touched her hair with hands full of chocolate,
She offered an apologetic smile. “I’m afraid I can’t brew coffee for you as I need to wash my hair.”
Ritchie gazed at her.
“I’m not heading upstairs for coffee. Shall I dry your hair for you?”
Crystal had no reason to reject his offer.
Having engaged in a few serious dates with Ritchie, she knew it would be too callous for her to deny him the opportunity to visit her condominium.
She gave him a smile. “Then 111 brew some coffee before washing my hair.”
Ritchie also smiled in response.
Crystal didn’t realize that despite their relationship, she was still holding back in some way,
Crystal invited Ritchie to her modest-sized condominium located on the fourth floor and spanning approximately fifty square meters.
The interior design of the condominium exuded a cozy and inviting ambiance despite its compact size.
After brewing coffee for Ritchie, Crystal headed to the bathroom to wash her hair. When she emerged from the bathroom, he was standing in front of the window with the coffee.
While wiping her hair with a towel, she asked, “What are you looking at?”
Ritchie’s gaze was fixed on the gold Bentley Continental parked downstairs. When he heard Crystal’s question, he raised the cup and commented, “The coffee is not bad.”
“The beans are from Yorksland.”
Ritchie’s lips quirked up. “Come, let me blow dry your hair.”
Crystal didn’t suspect anything and gave him the hairdryer.
She stood with his back to him and didn’t notice that Henry was downstairs.
Ritchie was gentle and didn’t overstep any boundaries.
After drying her hair, he hugged her from behind. “I’d like to stay the night.”
Crystal’s body stiffened slightly.
She gently pried his hands away and said, “This is too fast, Ritchie.”
Ritchie flashed a bitter smile.
He admired Crystal’s composed demeanor, but in his mind, if a woman was excessively rational in a relationship, it could only signify one thing: She lacked true devotion or deep feelings for him
He couldn’t help but feel that she had no desires or passionate longing for him.
He sat down for a little while, then left.
Upon reaching the ground floor, he noticed that the Bentley Continental was still parked there. The window was rolled down, revealing Henry’s arm leisurely hanging out as he smoked one cigarette after another.
Ritchie couldn’t help but admit that Henry looked handsome as he gave a subtle nod in greeting.
Henry turned around and looked at him silently.
A long while later, he let out an icy snort and nodded in response.
Before Ritchie could get into his car, Henry floored the accelerator and sped off, the cigarette still dangling from his lips.
Ritchie didn’t know what to feel as he watched the car speed away.
Henry drove back to his condominium.
”
Unbuttoning his suit jacket, he tossed it on the couch and sat in front of the piano.
Closing his eyes, he let his slender fingers glide effortlessly across the piano keys, producing the familiar melody of Moonlight Lovers. It was the same piece that Crystal frequently played in the house.
Henry knew how to play the piano but wasn’t really good at it.
However, he had never revealed this talent to Crystal, deeming it unnecessary to do so. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
His initial intention had always been to date her for a year or two and then part ways. amicably. He had planned to provide her with generous compensation for the time they had spent together.
However, to his surprise, their relationship abruptly came to an end in less than two months,
Crystal didn’t ask for any compensation from him. All she wanted was to leave him and start
anew.
She seemed to be enjoying her time with Ritchie.
It’s been ten days. Crystal and Ritchie have dated for ten whole days. Ritchie has entered her house. Are they going to share the same bed soon and have ser?
A resounding thump echoed from the piano keys as Henry stared at the piano silently.
Memories from the past surged through his mind.
He vividly recalled presenting Crystal with the Morning Dew piano after the first time they had sex. She had joyfully redecorated their home with her personal touch, emanating a radiant happiness akin to that of a newlywed bride,
Back then, she had no idea this was how wealthy men treated their women
He showered her with love and gifts so she could repay him by pleasuring him through sex.
Sex was different when both parties had feelings for each other. Henry was extremely aroused every time Crystal gazed at him, her eyes sparkling with adoration.
Will she look at Ritchie the same way in the future? No, that is impossible! I won’t allow that to happen! Ten days is the most I can endure.
