Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 60 Tell Them That We’ll Be at the Gathering Right on the Dot

Madison quietly and excessively cussed as she reluctantly picked up the phone.

There was a tinge of hoarseness in Henry’s magnetic voice. “Why aren’t you at home? Where are you?”

Madison glanced at Crystal. F*ck! He really ate her right down to her bones!

I can only imagine how devastated she is…”
