Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 251

Chapter 251 I Also Listen To You

Henry went to the study and sat alone inside, smoking quietly.

In the past three years, he had been so busy that he barely found time to miss Crystal, let alone anything else.

Now that he had a moment to reflect, he realized forcing Crystal to sever ties with Seth was one of his most regrettable decisions.

That act had allowed Seth to claim a permanent spot in Crystal's heart.

Even if she didn't love Seth, her sentiment for him was sufficient to make Henry feel bitter.

While Henry was feeling resentful, his musings were interrupted when the door to the study was pushed open. A barefoot little girl with curly brown hair dressed in an adorable floral pattern nightgown peeped in through the door gap. "Daddy!"

Skyler threw herself into Henry's arm, hugging his neck affectionately.

Henry placed her tiny feet in his lap, kissed her, and tenderly asked, "Why are you awake?"

Half-asleep, Skyler leaned against him, whimpering for her mother.

Henry felt a stir in his heart at the thought of the woman in the master bedroom. How can I let Skyler see Crystal in that state?

"Your mommy is asleep in my room," he said gently.

"I want to sleep with Mommy!"

Holding her with one arm, Henry gently rocked her and told her a bedtime.

story.

In the deep of the night, his slightly hoarse voice had a soothing effect on any listener's heart.

Skyler slowly dozed off in his arms. However, Henry knew putting her down would wake her, so he wrapped her in a small blanket and cradled her for nearly an hour. Late at night, Skyler finally fell into a deep sleep.

Henry sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her delicate petite face, and couldn't stop himself from pecking her on the check.

This little girl is my and Crystal's child. I love her so much.

Skyler rolled on the bed, hugging her carrot pillow.

Reluctant to leave right away, Henry stayed with her a bit longer.

When he returned to the bedroom, he stopped in shock, taking in the scene before him.

Crystal's hair was drenched and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. She looked rather disheveled.

Henry approached the bed, bending to look at her while gulping repeatedly.

He removed the necktie and released her. Crystal panted lightly, and her voice was soft when she cursed. "Henry, you b*stard!" Henry had an excellent grasp on women.

He knew she was sexually aroused, so he leaned forward and whispered beside her ear, "Should we take a shower or make love first?" Crystal embraced and kissed him.

The atmosphere inside the room swiftly turned amorous.

A passionate session ensued. He kissed her while muttering sweet nothings, "Say my name. Crystal, say my name."

Crystal abruptly stopped.

She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I'm sleeping with Skyler. Goodnight, Mr. Miller!" Then, she pulled away, even patting his handsome face as she did. "Have a taste of this feeling too, Mr. Miller." Henry didn't stop her.

He leaned against the headboard, watching her get out of bed and adjust her clothes with his pensive gaze. He chuckled. "Your exceptional endurance surprises me."

Crystal cursed him, describing him as a scoundrel disguised as a gentleman.

Henry flashed a faint smile. He was handsome and adept at teasing her. Crystal didn't dare to meet his gaze any longer.

She took a shower in the guest room and went to sleep.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and she saw it was a WhatsApp message from Henry that read: I miss you so much!

Crystal grinned, reading the short text.

She didn't reply, but he sent her another message that read: Come sleep with me. I won't do anything. I just want to hold you. In the morning, I'll bring you a rose to wake you up when I return from my run! Crystal had been entangled with him for several

years.

In fact, she knew his intention. He hadn't forced himself on her because he desired to start fresh in their relationship and court her.

She closed her eyes. Over the years, Henry has been the one I've loved and hated. He's been the only one all along.

She didn't respond, knowing he didn't mind whether she did or not. He was thoroughly enjoying the process of pursuing her. If they were to settle for a life together simply for Skyler, it would be truly lamentable.

Going forward, Crystal no longer wanted herself to be taken for granted.

If Henry truly wanted her to stay in his life, he would have to woo her and put in the hard. work.

It would be for Crystal to decide the extent to which she would reciprocate his feelings.

The next morning, when Crystal woke up, a fresh rose was placed by her bedside.

She turned to her side and played with the petals.

It reminded her of the times when they were together. He had often given her roses too. However, what she couldn't determine was how much his feelings had changed from then to

now.

Crystal didn't want to appear infatuated.

After freshening up, she went downstairs. Skyler was already awake and was having breakfast with her father, spilling the food all over the floor.

Meanwhile, the father was leisurely sipping on his coffee while reading the newspaper.

When Crystal went over, Skyler quickly wiped her mouth clean and began eating her food with better dining etiquette.

Crystal pecked her daughter on the cheek.

Henry put down the newspaper and smiled. "She really listens to you."

Crystal found his remark pleasant to hear.

He added, "I also listen to you. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll comply; whatever you tell me not to do, I'll obey too."

She bit her lip and uttered in an undertone, "You'd better not be a bad influence on Skyler!"

The little girl continued to have her meal.

The next second, Henry's expression turned serious as he regarded Crystal with an intense gaze. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Crystal ignored him. He knew very well how I slept.

Their interaction last night was overly intimate, making her too embarrassed to accompany him in sending Skyler to the kindergarten, so she stayed home to do the chores, tidying up the rooms upstairs. Since moving in, she had been handling all those tasks.

At ten o'clock in the morning, she called Melora and invited her to go shopping.

Seeas Corporation's anniversary event was around the corner, but Crystal had yet to pick out her formal dress. She also wanted Melora to attend and take the opportunity to unwind.

Julia was a super VIP at Seraphim Boutique.

Naturally, the place was cleared and reserved for Crystal and Melora when they came to shop.

Crystal chatted with Melora while carefully selecting her outfit.

They inevitably talked about Alfred.

Crystal didn't attempt to persuade Melora to do anything. Instead, she discussed parenting experiences with her. Although she had only been a mother for two months, her insights. were more abundant than Melora's. That was perhaps a result of how meticulously Skyler was raised.

Melora gradually felt more at ease.

Crystal chose a dress for her, and she took it to the fitting room to try

it on.

While waiting for Melora, Crystal sat on the couch, sipping coffee.

Suddenly, the store manager approached with a troubled look. "Mrs. Miller, Mr. Sloan is also our VIP. I'd like to discuss with you if you could accommodate him."

Crystal was a considerate and understanding person, so she agreed.

However, when the newcomers entered, she realized it was Robert, accompanied by his

relatively pretty girlfriend.

Robert was also taken aback.

He stared at Crystal for a long while before saying, "You're back?"

She nodded and smiled at the couple. "Please, make yourselves comfortable."

Robert wished to talk to Crystal, so he told his companion to shop for a dress on her own. The woman was an astute second-tier actress, and she tactfully stepped away.

Robert sat down opposite Crystal.

He had wanted to smoke, but after taking out his lighter and a packet of cigarettes, he put them down again. Then, he broke the silence while wearing a faint smile. "It's been a long time. I heard the child you have with Henry is already four!"

Flipping through a magazine, Crystal responded with a nonchalant hum.

Robert was momentarily dazed as he gazed at the serene expression on her face.

For a long time, he was madly in love with her and wanted her for himself.

However, years passed, and everyone seemed to have moved on except for him. He couldn't even tell if he still loved Crystal or missed Melora's innocence.

Just as he was lost in thought, Melora exited the fitting room.

She didn't notice Robert. She tugged at the strapless dress with her head lowered while. complaining softly to Crystal, "Crystal, is this dress too revealing? Why don't we look for a different one?"

Crystal didn't answer..

Melora looked up and was stunned by the sight of Robert.

He had cheated on her, and the Miller family had assertively called off the engagement. Robert's business had been severely affected, but now, years later, he had made a comeback. and was again the affluent and charming Mr. Sloan.

Melora gave a faint smile and bobbed her head slightly at him.

In contrast to her indifference, Robert was much more astonished.

He had heard scandals about Melora and Alfred from Coldbridge. He didn't believe in the rumors at first, but after taking in Melora's current appearance, he was instantly convinced.

Her once-radiant countenance had lost its luster since she had experienced the hardships of love.

The vibrancy of Melora's mien had significantly faded, but she now possessed an extra hint of feminine charm.

Robert had once thought Melora would never mature.

However, she had since bloomed into a state he never imagined she could grow into, and all that happened because of another man.
