Their surroundings were quiet.

Crystal watched as the two ex-lovers reunited.

There was a complex look in Henry's eyes-one filled with pain and astonishment.

Crystal didn't know if he still loved Audrey, or if he did, how much, but she could tell that he' definitely hated her.

Hatred was the opposite of love.

He never forgot her....

"You must be feeling so awful right now, Crystal," Robert taunted, standing beside her.

Crystal smiled faintly.

"Do you get a kick out of laughing at me. Robert? Shouldn't you be happy with your life now? You should be glowing like the sun from all the bliss."

Robert clenched his fists.

What have I gained out of this? What happiness did I obtain?

He had lost the woman who loved him for four years, and now, he could only watch her live with another man-and it was all his own doing.

Henry was right. I'm the one who single-handedly gave her to him. I'm the one who lost her,

The man gulped.

"Crystal, what if I gave everything up just so we could start over together again?" he couldn't help

but ask.

Crystal's eyes darted toward him.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Start over? Us? What makes you think that could ever happen? You walked all over me, and now you're asking to start over after nothing but an apology? What a joke! Crystal's eyes reddened as her lips trembled slightly.

She stared at the man, now feeling a wave of hatred she had never felt before toward him.

At that very moment, Melora called out to them softly. "Robert Crystal! There you are."

Her voice alerted the ex-lovers as well, and Henry looked over slowly.

He noticed how close Crystal and Robert were standing while staring at each other.

The woman's eyes were slightly red as though she was about to cry, whereas there was a look of reminiscence and regret in Robert's expression that he failed to conceal in time. Henry narrowed his eyes at the sight as displeasure swirled within him.

Audrey tucked her jet-black hair aside and asked in a playful tone, "Is that your girlfriend?"

Henry didn't deny it.

The woman leaned into his car and chuckled. "It's been a while, Henry! I was worried you'd stay away from women after how I hurt you, but I'm glad to see you doing just fine." Henry smirked. "Long time no see. You were clearly overthinking, though."

Audrey tilted her head.

Her beautiful facial features and scarlet lips glistened under the sun, and she turned heads. wherever she went. Henry realized that she hadn't changed a bit after all these years. Crystal and Audrey were completely different from one another.

Crystal was a domestic woman who enjoyed cooking. She had a sensible personality and was easy to please. Of course, she loved dolling herself up too. Crystal...

Henry turned around, only to find her missing.

She's gone. She must've seen me with Andrey.

The man was stunned briefly.

Audrey's eyes narrowed.

She had returned from the Kingdom of Brundela after hearing that Henry had found himself someone new, just so she could see what kind of person had the right to walk alongside him. There's nothing great "Henry, aren't you going to take me to the manor?" she asked carefreely like an old friend.

Henry silently gazed at where Crystal had stood for a while before turning back to Audrey. "Some of the elders do want to see you."

Audrey tried to hold him by the arm, but he evaded her.

"This isn't appropriate, Audrey."

The woman's face stiffened.

"You've never said no to me in the past, Henry," she commented meekly.

"Like you said, everything between us is in the past," Henry responded while striding toward the

manor.

As they left, Robert stood on the second floor of a mansion, watching their every move from a

corner.

He had seen the way Henry spaced out while staring at the spot Crystal was at previously.

Since when did he like her that much? I should've realized it long ago. The way he looks at her-

he wants her so badly. Men understood men best. Why would Henry act like that if he didn't like her or want to own her?

Robert shut his eyes.

He already likes Crystal more than he's ever liked Andrey; he's just not aware of it. Even so, I'm not telling him that. I don't want to-ever!

The atmosphere at the birthday party took a turn when Audrey showed up.

Everyone there knew she was once with Henry, and now that she had returned, they all glanced at Crystal with interest.

Even Julia was worried.

"Don't think too much, okay, Crys? They're just childhood friends. Besides, Audrey's already. engaged to a foreigner, and she's just back in town to sort out some contract disputes. She won't get between you

The latter smiled.

She couldn't quite explain that she only shared a physical relationship with Henry.

Still, she decided to avoid him since she liked him.

For the entire afternoon and night, Henry didn't see her at all. The Miller Residence was huge, after all, so it wasn't hard for her to stay out of his sight.

Crystal sat alá marble table inside the gazebo on this breezy night, enjoying a glass of cocktail.

The music coming from inside the large hall sounded especially romantic.

The guests must be having fun dancing now. Crystal didn't feel upset or

resentful; she had nothing to do with this place from the start. She wouldn't try to fight for anything either, as Henry's behavior had made it clear that her affection toward him meant nothing.

I'll come up with an excuse to leave soon. Henry's probably too busy to send me home.

"Crystal!"

A voice called out to her.

She turned her head and saw Seth.

The man was dressed casually most of the time-as expected of a second-generation rich man- but tonight, his formal attire made him look much more handsome.

He walked over to Crystal.

He was tall to begin with, and she was currently seated, so she had to raise her head to look at him.

"Aren't you going to dance? You look so stunning today, It'd be such a waste if you just sat there, Seth suggested, his voice deeper than usual.

Crystal smiled at him. "It's fine. I kind of like the wind out here."

"Is it because of Henry and Audrey?" Seth went straight to the point.

He was rarely this direct, and that caught Crystal off guard.

He leaned closer to her until their noses were practically touching.

"You like him, don't you, Crystal?" he muttered. "You like him so much that you're afraid of showing up in front of him, afraid that you'd be hurt watching him dance with his old flame. You coward."

There was a slight twitch in Crystal's neck.

She gazed at Seth as though meeting him for the first time.

The man caressed her face and spoke seductively. "Why am I doing this, you may ask? That's because I want to see you happy. Isn't it everyone's life goal to be happy? Henry won't be able to hurt you if you
