Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 110

Chapter 110 Friends With Benefits

Stunned, Jamie joked, "Are you planning to open a cafe, Mr. Miller?"

Leaning back in his leather chair, Henry sipped his coffee before replying, "Crystal wants to open a music center."

When Jamie thought about his request earlier, she became further convinced that the couple had quarreled and he was trying to appease her.

She promptly checked the lands he owned. "You don't have a land that's two hundred square meters large, but you do have a building that's double the size. It's located next to the main road. The office building decorated and empty right now."

"Sounds good. Grab me the key." A thought crossed Henry's mind, and he said, "Bring me the season's latest clothing and jewelry brochures."

Jamie was shocked. I've never seen Mr. Miller acting like this for a woman. He's usually quite generous, but it's the first time I've seen him acting so caringly.

After Jamie left, Henry continued to sip his coffee. I quite like Crystal, and I savor every moment she spends taking care of me. If I can experience a pretty good relationship by presenting her with some gifts, th He picked a batch of branded clothing and jewelry before asking people to send them to the condominium on Saturday.

After that, he entered the conference room for a meeting.

By the time he finished work, it was already eleven at night. The driver sent him back to the condominium.

Crystal wasn't asleep yet. She was sitting on the carpet before the couch in her pajamas. There were a few reports scattered on the coffee table.

When Henry returned, she put them away. "I made supper. Do you want some?"

After removing his coat, Henry tossed it onto the couch, leaned toward her, and kissed her for a long while.

Then, he said hoarsely, "I'll take a shower first before I eat."

Crystal thoughtfully grabbed his pajamas for him. Once he was out of the shower, she measured his temperature again.

It has dropped to thirty-eight degrees Celsius. Good.

Crystal smiled. "You should drink more water. I think you'll probably feel better tomorrow."

Henry relished being tended to by her. During supper, he asked, "Did you care for Robert like this in the past?"

Crystal was flabbergasted.

Before she could say anything. Henry added with a smile, "I'm just curious."

Crystal didn't think it was a topic to be avoided, so she nodded. "When two people are together, it's natural that they take care of each other."

"What happens after the breakup?"

While resting her chin in one, she brushed his nose with the other.

What a handsome man!

She replied truthfully, "There's no need for either one to care about each other anymore, of course." After thinking about her answer some more, she added, "It'll be better if they stop contacting each other." She assumed that was the answer Henry wished to hear, but he didn't seem pleased. He furrowed his eyebrows and remained quiet.

At night, while they were about to sleep, Henry only kissed her for a while.

Crystal thought that he was too tired to do what he wanted.

The next morning, Henry shattered her expectations.

Even though he had just recovered, he went for a morning jog. Crystal didn't want to keep lying in bed, so she got up and prepared breakfast. Right then, the doorbell rang.

Thinking that it was Henry who had forgotten to bring the keys with him, Crystal went to open the door.

An affluent woman was standing outside.

She wore branded clothing and was accompanied by a driver whose hands were full of supplements. The visitor was Henry's mother, Julia.

When Julia saw Crystal, she was giddy with joy. Melora told me that Henry's living with his partner, but

I didn't believe it. Now, it seems it's true! Not only that, she's someone I'm familiar with!

While Julia was happy, Crystal was visibly flustered.

Upon greeting the older woman, Crystal invited her inside.

2/4

Julia had the driver carry the supplement into the living room before chasing him away, worried that he would scare Crystal.

She sat on the couch, had a sip of coffee that Crystal had poured, and stared straight at her. Not bad! There are plenty of changes here. It seems they've been living together for a long time. She asked Crystal to sit down and casually asked a few questions, including her astrological sign.

Crystal knew Julia had misunderstood their relationship, but she didn't know how to explain it properly. After all, she did sleep with Henry.

She replied, "Virgo."

Virgo? Oh, thank you, God! She's a Virgo and already has a close romantic relationship with Henry! I think there's a good chance that Henry will get married before he's thirty now!

With that thought in mind, Julia treated Crystal even better.

In fact, the older woman started treating the younger woman as her daughter-in-

law during the conversation. She even invited Crystal to attend Melora's birthday banquet, and Crystal couldn't reject her enthusiastic offer.

It was then Henry returned. When he saw the supplements piled up in the living room, he turned to his mother.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" he asked calmly.

Julia glanced at her son warmly. "Your secretary mentioned you weren't feeling well. I was worried so I decided to visit with some supplements. I'm glad to see that you have someone taking good care of you." She winked at him. She's a Virgo!

Henry glanced at Crystal, who was clearly feeling uncomfortable. "Crystal and I need to head to work soon. You should go back first. I saw your driver downstairs."

Julie had just met her "daughter-in-law," so, of course, she wouldn't want to leave that easily.

and She removed her Chanel coat and expensive watch before uttering softly, "In that case, you Crystal should go and get changed. I'll prepare your breakfast before you two head to work." Henry wiped the sweat on his face with a towel.

He glanced at Crystal again and saw that she was blushing.

"Sure." He smiled and brought Crystal to the bedroom. Closing the door, he joked, "My mother hasn't cooked in decades. I should thank you for that, Miss Winters."

Crystal bit her lip. "She thinks I'm your girlfriend." I'm stupid enough to know what's going on.

Henry hugged her waist and kissed her.

The kiss lasted for a long while before he pressed his forehead against hers. "Are you not?"

Lifting her slightly teary eyes, she muttered, "I know I'm not."

Henry pecked the corner of her mouth and said, "I don't have a wife or another lover. We sleep in the same bed every night, and we've done intimate things. Crystal, don't you think we're a couple?"

He's truly a lawyer. I can't even think of any retort. Crystal was so enraged that her eyes were turning slightly red. "I don't want to lie to your mother."

Henry chuckled, opened the door slightly, and whispered next to her ear, "Then let's tell her now that we're just friends with benefits living together until we're satisfied. Are you going to tell her that, Crystal?"

"You b*stard!"

Just as Henry was about to say something, they heard Julia speaking in the living room. "Henry, Crystal, have you both changed your clothes?"

The older woman was excited because it was her first time being a mother-in-law.

She gently knocked on the door, but just as she touched it, it opened automatically.

Her son, whom she thought didn't want to get married, was pressing his partner down on the couch, kissing her.

Julia blushed. Henry is so...
