Chapter 42 Crystal Is With Me Crystal's body trembled slightly under Henry's gaze . +5 Bonus Then , he handed his phone to her and said , " Give your aunt a call . She's probably worried about you since your phone has been off all day . " Crystal took the phone and whispered her thanks before making her way to the window to call Anna . Anna expressed concern regarding Crystal's situation with Robert and proceeded to ask some probing questions , leaving the young woman feeling tongue - tied as she anxiously bit her lip . Just then , a slender hand reached out and took the phone . Henry's voice was gentle as he greeted , " Hi , Madam Anna . My name is Henry Miller and I'm a lawyer . Just wanted to let you know that Crystal is with me right now . " Crystal was both surprised and shocked . She never expected that he would be willing to reveal their relationship . Does he even know what he is doing ? Not only Crystal but even Anna , who was on the other end of the line , was also dumbfounded . Anna pinched herself hard , making sure that she wasn't dreaming . Am I really speaking to Henry Miller , the brother - in - law of that jerk Robert ? Anna was left speechless as Henry effortlessly explained the reason for Crystal being with him . As the call came to an end , he turned to Crystal and instructed , " Go to the kitchen and make some ginger tea for yourself . Drink it and go to sleep . I have some things to take care of , " he said as he walked toward his study . Crystal gently tugged on his sleeve and murmured , " Henry . " He turned around to look at her . She hesitated before speaking up . " I made … a promise … to Robert . " Henry's expression darkened as he spoke slowly . " I thought you had made a choice when you came back with me . " With that , he extended his hand and lightly rubbed her forehead . " There will be nothing between you and Robert ." After he finished speaking , he walked into his study . Crystal mulled over Henry's words repeatedly and later realized that he was likely making an exception mainly for Melora's sake . Robert would only give up on her if she ended up with Henry . With that thought in mind , she felt a sense of relief . After that , she walked into the kitchen to prepare some ginger tea . Henry's kitchen was like a display unit , and she doubted if he had ever used it before . However , when she opened the fridge , she found it well- stocked with a variety of meats , eggs , and dairy products . Then , she took out some ginger and brewed two cups of ginger tea , reserving one for him . 1/2 Chapter 42 Crystal Is With Me In the study , Henry was on the phone . When Crystal arrived at the door , he didn't avoid her as he made a gesture for her to come in . After entering the study , she placed the ginger tea on his desk . Just as she was about to leave , her wrist was abruptly grasped as he pulled her gently onto his lap . While he continued talking to Jake on the phone , his other hand was not idle . She finally succumbed to his teasing as she leaned against his shoulder and nibbled it lightly . Henry's black pupils fixed on her and a spark of fire danced within his gaze . Suddenly , Jake mentioned Crystal on the other end of the line . Henry chuckled lightly in response . " She's here with me right now . Do you want to talk to her ? " Jake was taken aback for a moment before he teased playfully , " Wow , Henry ! You're quite the speedster, eh ? If Seth finds out , he'll be weeping at home ." " He's stronger than you think . " Henry brushed it off with a few words . After that , he quickly finished the call and received a few more documents , all of which were related to John Winters ' case . When he had a little break , he quickly gulped down the ginger tea and told Crystal to go to bed before him since he still had some tasks to attend to . Meanwhile , she didn't make a scene by asking to sleep in the guest room as she was well aware of what he wanted from her . After entering the master bedroom , she carefully lifted the thin blanket and lay down . In the dim light , her skin looked translucent against the black sheets . Crystal couldn't help but feel a little nervous , wondering when Henry would come to bed . Will he come back at all ?
