Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 42 Crystal Is With Me

Crystal’s body trembled slightly under Henry’s gaze.

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.
