Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 126 It Was Her Imagination All Along

Crystal sat in silence. The air was heavy with unspoken words.

Henry was still patient with her. He broke the silence with a gentle offer. “I can pick you up tonight if you’d like.”

After a long pause, Crystal found herself responding in a resigned manner. “Sure, why not?”

Deep down, she knew Henry would spare no effort to get what he wanted.

He had desire burning inside him, and he was doing everything to win her over. She couldn’t figure out how he seemed to understand women so well. However, when he finally made his move, she knew she didn’t stand a chance of saying no.

That night turned out to be an absolute whirlwind of romance and passion, surpassing any they had experienced before.

Henry’s sweet nothings filled every nook and cranny of the condominium.

Their bodies intertwined as they tumbled through the night, surrendering to the moment.

Crystal couldn’t deny it–the pleasure and sensory fireworks she experienced with Henry were beyond anything she had ever known.

Early in the morning, Crystal woke up to find Henry by the bedside, tying his tie.

When he noticed she was awake, he leaned down and kissed her gently.

“Are you really going to the opening banquet?” Crystal asked softly, her eyes shining with a newfound clarity after last night.

Henry nodded. “There’s a trial that might delay me, but I can make it there around nine in the evening. How will you introduce me then, Miss Winters?”

Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck and said something in Brundelan.

A flicker of surprise crossed Henry’s eyes, but due to time constraints, he had to hold back his passionate response.

He had a trial in the morning and quickly left.

Crystal felt a bit sore all over her body, but since the music center was managed by her and Emelia, it wouldn’t be fair to leave Emelia to handle everything alone. Thus, after resting for a while, she got up and prepared for the day.

She had a hectic day entertaining the parents of prospective students and it wasn’t until six in the evening that she finally had a moment to rush back to her apartment and change into a suitable outfit for the banquet.

She slipped into a pale pink gown that accentuated her slim waist. After that, she tied up her chestnut hair, then adorned her ears with a pair of elegant pearl earrings. It was undeniable that she looked stunning.

After finishing her makeup, Crystal blushed as she admired herself in the mirror.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she deliberately chose this look to cater to Henry’s taste. After all, she was aware of what he liked, and she knew he would be eager to hug her in this attire.

She didn’t dare to follow along those lines of thought.

Shaking off those thoughts, Crystal tidied up and headed downstairs, ready to leave.
