Chapter 28 Be Good and Stay With Me for a Bit Henry looked at Crystal quietly . +5 Bonus A while later , he let go of his hold on her arm , then lightly leaned back in the leather seat and closed his eyes . He seemed exhausted . Crystal couldn't utter a single word of reprimand as she turned to look at him . A moment later , he got up and pressed a tton . The roof of the car pulled back to reveal a dark blue glass over them . Since they were in the mountains , the stars looked especially bright in the night sky. Henry leaned back and said nothing . He simply gazed intently up at the night sky . Crystal wanted to ask something , but he pulled her close .. ww Forced to lean into the nook of his shoulder , she breathed in the unique woodsy smell of his body as she felt her face burn . " Stay with me for a bit . " Henry's voice was hoarse when he spoke . Crystal couldn't decline that . She didn't know if all successful men knew how to show weakness or if all women fell for the same trap , but Henry had helped her before . She couldn't push him away when he was wearing such an exhausted and fragile expression on his face . Perhaps because she had been silent for too long that Henry asked her in a low voice , " What are you " thinking ? " " N - Nothing ! " Crystal was a little confused . After that , neither of them spoke up as they embraced each other quietly . * Henry was so good - looking that Crystal would be lying if she said she wasn't feeling anything at all . She didn't push him away in a coy manner . Instead , she discreetly snaked her arm around his waist . Surrounded by the man's warmth , Crystal had to admit that the sensory excitement Henry gave her was something she never experienced with Robert before . If it weren't for her family circumstances , she would be willing to spend a night with him . However , there was too much going on between them , and they were never fated to stay together . As she thought about those things in a daze , she fell asleep in his arms , Henry lowered his head to gaze at the woman he was holding . Her brown hair was draped over her shoulders , and her petite face was clear and pale . Her shoulders looked thin and as she leaned into his arms , she felt light and soft . Crystal was nice - looking . She wasn't radiantly beautiful , but she had a gentle prettiness about her . Her beauty was the domestic sort . ။။ 1/2 Chapter 28 Be Good and Stay With Me for a Bit After so many days of bustling about , Henry felt a little tired as well , so he lightly closed his eyes . +5 Bonus When Crystal woke up , the atmosphere was a little awkward . She could obviously feel Henry . She had never gotten so close to a man before , so she didn't know men were like this when they just woke up . She bit her lip a little helplessly , not daring to move an inch . The inside of the car was dark and Henry's gaze was passionate . In a slightly hoarse voice , she asked , " What time is it ? " Henry's hot breaths singed her ears . " Almost 1.00AM . I'll send you home in a bit . " Crystal didn't dare move as she lay obediently in his arms . Henry suddenly let out a low chuckle , and his mood was getting better for some reason . His slender fingers caressed her face as he said , " How are you so vulnerable ? Are you repaying me or are you enjoying it as well , Miss Winters ? " Crystal was a little mad that he had seen through her . She ignored him and shifted her body back into the passenger seat . Henry scoffed lightly and glared at her . Her face was hot as she changed the topic by saying , " Mr. Miller , please send me home ." Henry could see the faint blush on her cheeks . He was slightly startled . Crystal dated Robert for four years , so she should have some experience . Why is she blushing so easily ? Henry was tempted . He did have the hots for Crystal , after all . When he sent her home , his destination wasn't the high - class apartment from before . Instead , it was a rundown community . Crystal said quietly , " We're here . Thank you , Mr. Miller . " Henry rolled down the window as he looked at the building outside , then at Crystal's thin body . He actually knew how much she had endured , but even with the chance she had today , she didn't ask anything of him . For an instant , Henry felt compassion in his heart . He even wanted to help her for a change . However , it was just a fleeting thought . For now , Crystal wasn't that important to him yet .
