Chapter 294 You Are Still My Wife

Under the faint early morning sunlight, Crystal's face seemed particularly pale. Yet, she appeared very calm. "Sign it!"

Henry stared at her.

After a long while, he shut the door gently and walked over to take the document. "Crystal... What happened yesterday was an accident. I promise you that she won't show herself in front of Skyler ever again!" To that, Crystal smiled coldly.

She had no wish to listen to his promises anymore!

All she wanted was the safety of her children.

She maintained her composure as she said, "Once you have signed the agreement and Skyler has calmed down, I'll take both the children and move somewhere else!"

Despite everything. Crystal was still quite upset.

She had been hopeful when she first moved there.

At the time, she thought that Henry might experience the warmth of a family. Perhaps, she was wrong right from the beginning. A year ago, when he abandoned his family to save Lara, she should have given up then.

Henry was still looking at her and noticed the tears at the corners of her eyes.

He threw the document back onto the coffee table.

Then, he went to the closet to change his clothes. However, he did not find anything suitable.

In the end, he stood there and said, "Do you think I have no feelings for you? But, Crystal... If that's really the case, then I wouldn't have moved back with you!"

He refused to sign the divorce papers.

"Crystal, do you not love me anymore?" he asked.

Crystal replied calmly, "No, I don't. Henry, I only want to lead a peaceful life!"

Henry had already changed into a shirt. He then took it off before trying another one on.

After a few more changes, he finally walked out of the closet.

He looked at her and said softly, "I don't want a divorce!"

Crystal looked down with a faint smile. "I will find a way! Henry, if you don't sign the papers, then don't blame me for hurting your darling!" Henry sneered, "She isn't my darling. You are!"

Crystal burst out laughing.

1/5

This joke isn't funny at all.

With that, she turned and left, slamming the door shut without even looking back.

Before leaving, Henry went to check on Remi. The housekeeper was feeding the child milk. "Isn't Crystal supposed to do the morning feed?"

Her breasts had always been very productive, so her milk supply was more than enough for Remi.

The housekeeper appeared upset when she whispered, "Last night, Mrs. Miller stopped producing milk. Not a single drop at all. I have no idea what happened!" Henry was visibly taken aback.

Hasn't it only been three months since Crystal gave birth to Remi? Why would she stop producing milk so soon?

He said no more as he carried Remi in his arms. I must have a talk with Crystal tonight... Regarding our marriage and the children!

At eleven in the morning, the court hearing ended, and Henry left the courthouse,

A disheveled woman was standing in front of his car. There were blood stains all over her and bruises. where her skin showed. It was obvious that she had been beaten up.

Lara's lips were quivering as she spoke. "Mr. Miller, please help me beg Mrs. Miller for forgiveness! I only wanted to play with the child yesterday. I didn't mean it. I didn't know she was ill!" Henry opened the car door and threw his briefcase in.

He turned to look at Lara before lighting a cigarette. "Why did you go to the kindergarten to look for my daughter?"

Lara cowered.

After a few seconds, she replied softly. "Mr. Miller, when you sent me back that night, you treated me differently, right? I know you like my face because I look like my sister..." Henry puffed out a cloud of smoke slowly.

He glanced at her and said coolly, "Perhaps your face reminds me of something, but it wasn't a happy memory! Furthermore, what makes you think you have the right to disturb Skyler?" Henry did not feel sorry for her at all despite her pitiful state.

He was not a man who fooled around. In fact, he handled things with the opposite sex very well.

That night in the car, he turned her down calmly when she tried to get close to him.

He felt that any sensible woman in that situation should know that they did not stand a chance.

Lara's face turned even paler, and her injured body was trembling all over.

Right now, she was at her wit's end.

The school had fired her, and the landlord was going to sell the house. Very soon, she would be homeless.

2/5

She told Henry of her problems, hoping that he would feel sorry for her.

Henry casually flicked the cigarette ash away.

Nonchalantly, he said, "If you are willing to leave Barnwood, go and take a two-hundred thousand check. from Jamie!"

Lara looked horrified. That outcome was not what she had hoped for..

She wanted to be his mistress!

Eventually, she wanted to become Mrs. Miller!

She bit her lip, and tears filled her eyes. "Mr. Miller, I'm not with you because of your money! I like you for you... Brother-in-law, don't you have any feelings for me?"

Brother-in-law...

Jamie, who was standing by the side, rolled her eyes. "Miss Quinn was only married once, and her husband is a Chanacan man from Ustrana!"

Lara's expression turned embarrassed.

Now, she was so shameless that she tried to use a taboo relationship to evoke Henry's possessiveness.

However, Henry truly had no interest in her.

Most men could not help but compare the women around them.

Standing next to the voluptuous Crystal, Lara was nothing more than a scrawny chick!

Any man with functioning eyes would know who to choose!

Henry wanted to have nothing to do with her. "I'll give you three days to think things over!"

Once he got into the car, he thought of Crystal.

He did not feel bad for Lara. Instead, he simply thought Crystal was too ruthless, and it reminded him of his younger self.

Henry was reminded of the mother and daughter in Hulcaster and became furious again.

He knew that what Crystal had done to Lara was partly out of revenge and partly to infuriate him so that he would sign the divorce papers. Upon arriving at that thought, he could not help but wonder why she was in such a hurry to leave him.

Is there someone waiting for her?

Is it Robert or Ryan?

It was noon when he arrived at the Miller residence. He knew that Crystal was at home with Skyler.

Skyler was taking a nap.

Henry caressed her warm, tiny face and asked the housekeeper, "Where's Crystal?"

3/5

The housekeeper replied gingerly, "Mrs. Miller is in the gym!"

At this juncture, he could not believe that she was still in the mood to exercise.

After removing his coat, Henry headed down to the basement.

True enough, Crystal was there.

The combination of the soothing music, her alluring figure, and the thought of the divorce agreement agitated Henry.

He went over and turned the music on louder.

That caught Crystal's attention. She stopped her exercise and looked at him. "Why are you back at this hour? Are you here to sign the papers?"

Henry walked up to her and reached out to grab her waist before pulling her into his arms.

Bending his head, he kissed her passionately.

Her soft, fair skin was shimmering with her sweat.

Henry could not help but caress her. As he assaulted her mouth, he whispered, "You beat her up so that I would divorce you. Am I right? Crystal, what makes you think I am interested in her? I would rather sleep. with

you every day... You're so yielding and soft during sex. Are you aware of that? I haven't touched you for a few months, so you must have forgotten all about it. Let me jog your memory again!" Henry was very strong, and Crystal was thrown onto the couch.

Her head was buried in the fabric as she endured his intense advances. Even her protests were muffled.

Nibbling her earlobe, Henry muttered, "It feels so good!"

As they were at the Miller residence, there was no way Crystal could scream out loud. It would be awkward if anyone saw them. Besides, the elders of the Miller family were taking their naps.

The sensation was so unbearable that she turned her face to the side. That was when he saw that seductive patch of light green at the end of her brows.

Henry loved to see that patch as it would appear whenever Crystal was aroused.

He calmed himself down for a moment before reaching out to caress that area. Through heavy breathing. he uttered, "You're still my wife now. As long as I don't sign the papers, you're still Mrs. Miller!" He took her right there and then, again and again.

Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since they were last intimate, as he missed her scent so much that he ended up taking her for the next three hours.

Once they were done, he still refused to let her go until he cooled down.

After a few hours of assault, Crystal could no longer take it. When she regained a little of her energy, she gave him a kick. "Are you done? If so, get lost!" It was obvious from her tone that she was upset. Henry lowered his head and kissed her.

4/5

After a long while, he said, "That's a good girl!"

Crystal pushed him away and sat up without caring about her appearance. She ran her fingers through her brown hair and said nonchalantly, "Henry, just because we had sex for a few hours doesn't mean that I will change my mind and obey you. You think too highly of yourself!"

Even though they had slept together, she was still adamant about getting a divorce.

With that, she strode to the bathroom and washed herself.

By the time she was done, Henry had already put his wrinkly clothes back on. He stared at her and asked, "Why have you changed your clothes? Are you going out?"

Ignoring him, Crystal rummaged through the couch for her phone before walking out.

He caught hold of her and asked where she was heading.

Crystal pushed his hand away. "I'm going to buy a morning-after pill! Henry, you don't think I'm going to bear you another child, do you?"

The previous night, she had stopped lactating, which meant her period was due soon.

With how much he had indulged himself earlier on, there was a high possibility that she might get pregnant again.
