Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Some Suffering

The atmosphere turned awkward.

Crystal knew Henry’s character and was afraid that he would be mad.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he walked over to her and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

Crystal shook her head.

The gaze she trained on him was filled with complete trust.

Henry smiled before looking over his shoulder at David. “Dad, this is Crystal,” he introduced as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Meet my dad.”

David was over the age of fifty but looked young for his age. Henry must have gotten his facial features from his father.

Crystal respectfully greeted David as the latter slowly walked down the stairs.

At that moment, Julia also joined them. When she noticed David had stayed silent, she elbowed him and said, “The child is greeting you. Why are you putting on airs?”

David’s gaze deepened.

I knew Henry had brought a woman back on Melora’s birthday, but he didn’t introduce her to me, so I paid her no heed. I never thought they would end up together.

David’s gaze was sharp as he assessed Crystal from head to toe.

She looks pretty and demure. I heard she’s doing well in her career too.

David looked favorably upon a woman like that but didn’t show it on his face and nodded impassively. “This is her first visit, and it’s still the festive season. Where is your gift for her?” he said to Julia.

Julia gave Crystal a monetary gift. Other than the thick stack of cash, there was also a weighty, golden maiden figure.

Crystal was curious about the figure.

Julia kindly explained, “I know you’re a Virgo, so I got that made for you.”

Crystal thanked her with a smile.

Henry looked at her with a half-smile. Crystal was slightly irritated at him but was touched at the same time.

Melora joined them after playing with the dog.

Robert was the only one not in a good mood in the living room. He knew Henry’s and Crystal’s relationship had stabilized.

David felt great throughout the meal and even drank a small cup of liquor.

Julia didn’t stop him, surprisingly.

Crystal was slightly apprehensive, but Henry unexpectedly took good care of her.
