Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Calling His Name

Back at Crystal’s condominium, Snowy wagged its tail and greeted her.

Crystal took off her coat and patted its head. “Good dog!”

Snowy wiggled its tail excitedly at the compliment, showing that it wanted to go out and play. Crystal handed the leash to Henry. “You take it for a walk around, and I’ll make you some pasta.”

Henry fixed his deep-set gaze on her with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

Then, he bent down to tie the leash on Snowy and went out for a walk.

The kitchen of the condominium faced the outside. Hence, Crystal could watch Henry while prepping the meal. The clothes he had on complemented his slender, model-like figure perfectly, forming a mesmerizing sight.

Crystal found it difficult to avert her gaze.

When he came back, the condominium was heated to the point that it was becoming too warm.

Henry took off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves. Even though he was sitting at a small dining table to have instant pasta, his aristocratic temperament was not at all diminished.

Crystal fetched the newspaper and sat next to him, reading.

However, she found it difficult to focus on the papers. Instead, her attention was drawn to the several new needle puncture wounds on his arm, where the skin was all bruised from the frequent punctures.

Crystal felt a lump in her throat at the sight.

She traced her slender fingers on his arm and looked at him. “Have you had your blood drawn multiple times?”

Henry traced her gaze and responded with a light hum.

Audrey had stirred quite the trouble lately, and both the Quinns and the Millers were affected. Henry had suffered the most. Just as Robert had mentioned, the hospital didn’t have enough Rh-negative blood. Hence, whenever Audrey was undergoing an operation, Henry would have to head to the hospital to donate his blood.

Crystal said nothing and gently stroked his arm.

She was concerned about him.

Audrey does not love Henry. Even if she did, her love was extremely twisted and selfish.

Crystal couldn’t make her thoughts vocal, of course.

Furthermore, she didn’t even know how much Henry still cared for Audrey.

After Henry finished the pasta, he habitually took out a cigarette and was about to light it when Crystal gently slipped it out of his hand.

“Smoke less.”

He stared at her with his deep-set gaze.

Crystal lowered her eyes and started to clean up, but he placed his hand on hers.

“Do it tomorrow.”

Henry tenderly picked her up and walked straight toward the bedroom. It was clear as day that he wanted her.

“No!” Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck.

Halting in his steps, Henry lowered his head to look at her. In a husky voice, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Crystal freed one hand and lightly stroked his shirt collar, whispering, “You’ve had your blood drawn multiple times. You should rest and recuperate.”

Henry stared at her with his obsidian gaze.

Crystal met his gaze.

Her eyes turned misty as a conflicted look filled her face.

After a long while, Henry casually remarked, “It’s going to be all right.”
