Richard's POV"What are you thinking about? Just focus on me!" Krystal exclaimed in between passionate sighs. I didn't answer, choosing to hide my distress as best I could behind a smile. I chose to focus on the foreplay. Just as Krystal had wanted, tonight I was going to make her satisfied until she ran out of voice. Just like the text message I accidentally read before. I didn't have time to find out more about the sender of the message, because Krystal suddenly left the bathroom. It looked like she couldn't contain her sexual arousal any longer, so she took a quick five-minute shower. I rubbed my hands over Krystal's vaginal organs as fast as I could until Krystal whimpered in pleasure. This activity somehow reminded me of Nikkie moaning when we had sex to have a baby. I don't understand, why are Krystal's sighs no longer as beautiful as they used to be. I mean, like before I knew Nikkie.Krystal was writhing in the middle of the bed. Her beautiful face, which exuded the arrog

Richard's POV "Would you like to order another meal, sir?" someone asked, breaking my reverie. I gasped. I turned my head to the side and found a waitress who looked about the same age as Nikkie standing by my side. She gave me a sympathetic smile. I looked forward, only to find that the seat Krystal had been sitting in was already empty. Ah, that's right. Krystal had said goodbye to leave earlier because she had to take care of something. I looked back at the waitress with an awkward smile. "No, thank you. I'm already full. Can you give me the bill?" I asked politely. The waitress nodded and quickly got the bill. I left the restaurant after paying the bill. In the car, I was still pensive. Krystal's words pierced my heart, making me disturbed.All this time, my love for Krystal almost seemed unrequited. Krystal was ignorant, and I always ran to fulfill her every whim. It was always like that until I once thought Krystal might not love me. Also, not appreciating me.However, heari

Richard's POV"Nothing's wrong with me. Can't you be patient until someone picks up your phone call? You think everyone must always prioritize your call above all else?" I retorted coldly.There was a pause for a few seconds. Krystal probably never thought I would reply to her in this way. "Is this how you reply to a wife worried about her husband?" she exclaimed. I could hear she was taking great pains not to use a high tone again. A sardonic smile appeared on my face. "Thank you for your concern, wife. Anything else?" I replied in an unconcerned tone. Calling your husband in the morning after he hasn't come home all night doesn't necessarily reflect that you're a good wife. "Richard! Okay, I know you're still sulking because I didn't keep my word, but don't you know why I had to do it? I thought we both had the same goal of maintaining our household?" Krystal was persistent with her arguments.I let out a long breath. For God's sake, it's not even morning to start the day w

Richard's POV"No... I haven't had breakfast yet. I don't want to have breakfast either," I said while staring at the table. Then looked back at Blake, who somehow looked nervous.I shifted my gaze to the pile of groceries. "Did you just do your grocery shopping? It's quite a lot, considering it's just me and Krystal at home," I said in surprise.Blake opened and closed his mouth several times nervously before answering. "I seem to have forgotten that Miss Nikkie isn't here anymore. I apologize," Blake said with a bow of his head.I patted Blake's shoulder understandingly. "It's okay. I forget sometimes that Nikkie doesn't live here anymore."Blake nodded slowly."Have you seen Krystal?" I asked Blake. Blake shook her head. "Mrs. Krystal hasn't been home since yesterday," Blake replied. "Very good. All right, I'm going to my room. You can get back to your work," I told Blake before turning around.As I walked up the stairs, I smiled sarcastically. Oh, the call last night was

Richard's POV"Wha, what? Why, Richard?" asked Krystal in astonishment. The real shock was plastered on her face. I snorted sarcastically. "You're snorting at me? Why are you being so rude, Richard? What did I do wrong?" exclaimed Krystal unhappily.I roll my eyes. I was fed up to the point where I didn't want to explain anything to Krystal. I felt that words had no impact on her whatsoever. It would only add to the endless arguments."Richard!" shouted Krystal, getting impatient."Shut up, Krystal! Weren't you the one who told me to come home once? Now I'm home, and you're still bothering me? Fine, I'll get out of here!" I exclaimed in exasperation.Krystal hurriedly held my arm as I almost passed her. I quickly removed her hand from my arm. I winced in disgust."Alright, Richard, I'm sorry, okay? Don't go, alright, I won't talk to you anymore," Krystal said nervously.I glanced sharply at her before turning around and entering my room. I knew I shouldn't have been that rude
