Chapter 45 I've Changed My Mind Crystal also felt that the long dress suited her perfectly as soon as she tried it on . She sat down and praised the secretary . " It's because Jamie has good taste . " Henry remained silent . The housekeeper , Marie , brought in breakfast as she stated , " Miss Winters , I didn't know that you were coming . We'll have to make do with this today . Let me know what you would like to eat , and I'll make it for you tomorrow morning . " Crystal preferred a simple breakfast . However , being a guest at Henry's house , she acknowledged that Marie was his hired housekeeper . Therefore , she had no reason to boss her around . She smiled lightly and murmured , " This is great . " At that , Marie breathed a sigh of relief . I get the feeling that she's quite easy to get along with . Rubbing her hands together , she then hurried back to the kitchen to resume her work . Meanwhile , Henry folded his newspaper . He glanced at Crystal , who was sipping her milk with her head down . It was clear that she came from a middle - class family as she ate in a gentle and cultured manner , without any hint of pretense or affectation . At once , he found her pleasing to the eye . In contrast , he had been born into a life of privilege and his handsome appearance had attracted numerous women throughout his adult years . With discerning taste and high standards , he wasn't interested in the innocent and inexperienced women that other men might keep around to satisfy their desires . For him , compatibility and a woman's background were essential factors to consider . Crystal's looks and personality had captured Henry's heart , to the extent that he was willing to live with her . Obviously , Crystal was oblivious to these thoughts . She took a sip of her milk and then thought it over before deciding to inform him , " I lost my other jobs , but I still have my classes with Sophia . I have one tomorrow night ." He did not object , but lightly asked , " So you really like the piano ? I've heard you play well . Why didn't you further your studies ? " Given her family background , it wouldn't have been an issue . She only smiled faintly . The truth was that Crystal had thought about it before . She had been offered admission to the Royal Academy of Music in the Kingdom of Brundela and had even packed her bags , but Anna strongly opposed it . Crystal was the child that Anna had raised with great difficulty , and the latter couldn't bear to let her go . Anna had never had children of her own , and she felt a strong sense of possession toward Crystal . After a month of tug of war , Crystal decided to stay in Barnwood . Her teacher expressed deep regret and said , " Crystal , you are the most talented student I have ever seen . It's such a shame that you're not pursuing advanced studies and have instead chosen to become a teacher . " 1/2 Chapter 45 I've Changed My Mind Crystal felt that there was no need to tell Henry about these things since this was her own life . Henry noticed that something was amiss with her expression and was about to say something , but his phone chose that moment to ring . It was a message from his father . ' Henry , there's a lead on the daughter that Mr. Quinn has been searching for all these years . Keep your schedule open when he returns from abroad . David also sent a picture . It was a pink diamond necklace . nus Henry looked at the picture and felt that he had seen it somewhere , but he couldn't recall exactly where it was . Just then , Jamie called , so he exited the album . Jamie was efficient and had already arranged the release of John Winters . All that was left was for Henry to sign off on the paperwork . With that , he ended the call . Then , Henry said to Crystal , " I'm going to the detention center . Go home and wait for my news . You should be able to see him today . " Crystal was very grateful to him and whispered her thanks . He picked up his coat and stood up gracefully . She changed her shoes before walking him down the stairs , As they reached the ground floor , a luxurious black car came into view . Jamie was waiting by the car and nodded respectfully at Crystal upon seeing her . " Miss Winters . " Crystal also nodded in response . Henry opened the car door and got in . With his handsome looks and refined manners , he exuded an air of elegance and nobility . She suddenly remembered what he had said . Crystal , it's hard to tell who's taking advantage of whom between us , isn't it ? At this moment , she couldn't agree more with his words . She watched as his car drove away . Just as she was about to go upstairs , her phone rang . It was a call from Robert . After a moment of hesitation , she decided to answer the call and softly uttered , " Robert , I've changed my mind ."
