Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 119 You Have Every Right

Crystal was frozen in place for quite a long time after hanging up the phone.

Naturally, she wasn’t actually unbothered by what she heard.

After all, she and Henry were once madly in love, and he used to spoil her to death.

After taking a moment to calm herself down, Crystal was about to start her car when Henry’s call came in.

Crystal answered the phone with her usual gentle voice, “Hi, Henry.”

Henry froze when he heard her soft voice on the phone.

That was when he realized it had almost been a week since he last spoke to her. She was always asleep by the time he got home, and he would have left the house by the time she woke up the next day.

“Where are you?” Henry asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

“I’m about to head home,” Crystal replied.

Henry glanced at his watch and said, “I’ll come home for dinner later. Prepare a meal for me.”

“Okay,” Crystal said after a brief pause.

She had a conflicted feeling in her heart as she felt the warmth of her phone in her hands.

Given her relationship with Henry, she had expected him to tell her to lie in bed while waiting for him to come back. As such, she was surprised that he asked her to make dinner instead.

Living an ordinary life like a sweet couple was something that Crystal once found herself enjoying.

However, Henry had started going after his first crush instead, and Crystal had no idea what she should do next.

With Marie gone, Crystal had to drop by the supermarket to buy the ingredients herself.

After paying at the cashier, a few youngsters with mischievous grins on their faces slipped her some newspapers

at the entrance of the supermarket.

“Heres a sample of the new and improved Barnwood Daily! It contains really exciting news that will blow your mind, so please take a look!”

Crystal ignored their cheeky grins and stuffed the newspapers into her grocery bag before placing it into the trunk.

It wasn’t until she got home and retrieved the ingredients from the grocery bags that she realized Henry was all over the headlines in the newspapers.

To be specific, it was a scandal between Henry and Audrey that made the headlines.

Apparently, they had run into each other while he was in Hawen.

In the picture, Audrey could be seen tugging at the hem of Henry’s shirt while the two stood in front of the hotel’s entrance. Her reddened eyes suggested that she had been crying. Even so, she was staring at Henry with a defiant look on her face.

Henry had turned around slightly, so only half of his face was captured on camera, but Crystal could clearly see the look of hatred and pity in his eyes.

Crystal was so shocked that she just stood there and stared at the picture in the newspaper.

After what seemed like forever, she snapped out of her dazed state and felt an aching sensation in her muscles.

Fortunately for Crystal, her relationship with Henry had not developed that much, so it wouldn’t be too hard for her to get over him.

She then tossed the newspaper asides and calmly prepared dinner.

Henry had a thing for sour–tasting dishes, but his stomach couldn’t exactly handle them very well.

Hence, Crystal made him a grilled fish in lemon and butter sauce, a bowl of stew, and two stir- fried vegetable dishes.

It was almost seven by the time she was done preparing the food, but Henry had yet to come home.

Right as Crystal was wondering if she should give him a call, Henry’s call came in.

“Hey, Crystal. I have a business dinner, so I won’t be coming home for dinner tonight. I’ll be late.”

Crystal didn’t get mad at him, though. “Have someone drive you home if you’re going to be drinking.”

Henry fell silent for a while before replying, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Crystal stared silently at the food that she had prepared.

Eventually, she slowly sat down at the table and ate her dinner alone,

As there were lots of leftovers, she packed them up in a lunchbox and brought it downstairs to feed the dogs.

It was about half past ten when Henry got home, which wasn’t really all that late.

2/5

He saw Crystal crouched underneath a tree outside the condominium while feeding a small white dog. Henry knew that she had a habit of feeding the dog, but this was the first time he had seen her in action.

Since it was a little chilly at night, Crystal wore a letterman jacket over her shirt.

That jacket belonged to Henry, so it was a lot bigger than her size, which made her seem all the more skinnier.
