Chapter 40 Robert , This Isn't Necessary Between Us Crystal didn't say anything . Robert quietly watched her for a moment before he set the wine glass down and stood up . " Let's eat . " " You don't have to do this ." Crystal wore a cold expression on her face . The man started chuckling when he heard those words . +5 Bonus He walked up to her and pinched her sharp chin as he murmured , " You're right . We don't have to do this . After all , you think I'm a monster ! Crystal , do you hate me that much ? " She stood up straight . She wasn't going to let herself cry for a man like him . It wasn't worth it . Staring at him , she stated , " My loving or hating you doesn't change the outcome ." " Love me , then . It will at least make you feel better , hmm ? " Once he started gently stroking her face , he realized he couldn't take his hands off her . He was surrounded by other women , not to mention a beautiful fiancee . However , Crystal was different from them . She was a piece of meat he couldn't bring himself to take a bite of for four whole years . Now , he wanted to gobble her up and have her right down to her bones . Pressing his cheek against hers , he purred , " How about we negotiate a deal now, and you stay here tonight ? " Crystal's eyes immediately went red despite the extraordinarily calm words she uttered next . " I have to go home tonight . Also … if you want me to stay with you , you will have to wait until the day my father and stepmother have safely left Barnwood . There is nothing for us to talk about otherwise . " When Robert heard that , he took a step back and sized her up . He eventually chuckled . " Since when did you have such a sharp tongue ? " He must have been in a good mood today as he surprisingly agreed to her words . " Sure , we will do as you say . As long as you promise to be with me , I will let Mr. Winters and Aunt Anna leave Barnwood . I will also return everything I got from the Winters Family ! " Crystal quietly let out a relieved sigh at that . Suddenly , Robert hugged her slender waist and propped his chin on her thin shoulder as he cooed , " I'll buy you a villa in the suburbs and I'll accompany you when I'm free , okay ? " Crystal was cold and indifferent , but she didn't seem as prickly as before . Wanting to please her , he pressed against the soft flesh behind her ear . " Let's have a child ! Crystal , I want a cute daughter who is as obedient as you are ." Crystal thought she threw up in her mouth a little . Madison was right - Robert must be schizophrenic ! Why else would he do all kinds of bad things and act affectionate Chapter 40 Robert , This Isn't Necessary Between Us at the same time ? Her hatred toward him made her whole body turn stiff from her rejection of him . Of course , Robert was well aware of how she felt . He only snickered uncaringly . She was within his grasp now , anyway . He could just take the time to train her . To him , Crystal was a clean piece of paper that he wanted to write his name all over . Crystal didn't stay for long . When she left , Robert walked her to the entrance of the villa . Crystal now had a bundle of villa keys in her hand . " I will withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow ! Your father and Aunt Anna will be fine ! " He offered a small smile . " I don't want to wait too long , Crystal , so don't let me down , yeah ? " Her eyes looked picturesque under the light at the entrance . She only replied in a soft voice , " When have I ever let you down , Robert ? " She looked up at him after saying that . Only resentment lingered in her gentle and affectionate eyes that used to look at him with joy . Robert didn't want to look into them . He offered to drive her home , only to be rejected by her . " It's raining . Won't you let me take care of you just this once ? " he teased . Crystal lowered her head and smiled . " Robert , I told you that this isn't necessary between us . " She promptly pushed him away and stepped under the drizzle in the dark of the night . Robert's hands were empty that instant . As he looked at the back of the woman who completely rejected him , he had a sudden premonition that nothing he did could make her give her heart to him , even if she was physically by his side . However , the man didn't stay dejected for long . He firmly believed that what he felt for Crystal was just a man's desire to conquer , and he had never , ever loved her .
