Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 161

Chapter 161 This Night Was Beyond Gentle

As Crystal reached the end of her sentence, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn’t hold them back any longer.

After all, she had once loved him deeply, and perhaps, even now, there were remnants of those feelings stirring within her heart.

Despite the person before her having numerous flaws, a volatile temper, a reserved nature, and a penchant for intimate encounters, Crystal couldn’t deny the truth of her feelings-she genuinely liked him!

Nevertheless, despite her fondness for him, Crystal remained steadfast in her commitment to exercise restraint and maintain control over her emotions. She was resolute in protecting herself from the potential pain that could arise from giving in to her feelings.

As Henry tenderly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, Crystal’s crying intensified. At that moment, she couldn’t contain her emotions any longer.

He pulled her into a tight embrace as he leisurely lit a cigarette.

Henry leaned back on the couch, taking slow drags of his cigarette. His suave and charismatic demeanor was irresistible, enough to make any woman want to throw themselves at him.

Crystal maintained a wordless silence, finding solace in his embrace as tears cascaded down her cheeks.

As her tears moistened his shirt, the warmth and dampness created a subtle discomfort for him. Nevertheless, Henry chose to endure it. Understanding the significance of allowing her to release her emotions freely, he remained patient and accommodating to her every whim.

Having smoked over half of his cigarette, he finally asked in a gentle tone. “Shall we give it another try? But this time, we’ll take it slow. If you’re not comfortable with it, we won’t proceed. I just want you to feel at ease.”

Crystal remained silent.

Henry could sense her hesitation and was well aware of the reservations she had toward him.

Being a busy man, Henry had never been involved with any woman prior to Crystal. This fact shed light on his demeanor, as he never displayed a sense of urgency to surrender to desire.

However, when a woman he had developed feelings for continued to appear in front of him, it would be foolish for Henry not to seize the opportunity.

He had a rough idea of Crystal’s thought process. After all, he had witnessed her going on dates with Ritchie, attending art exhibitions, and admiring fireworks together. However, from Henry’s perspective, those activities held little meaning for him, and he couldn’t relate to them.

He genuinely believed that only weaklings would choose such venues for their dates.

Nevertheless, Henry felt relieved knowing that Crystal and Ritchie’s relationship had only lasted ten days.
