Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 170 Giving It A Try For I Love You Dearly

Henry pulled her into his embrace and pressed his lips against hers. “Say my name again.”

Crystal was reluctant to do so.

Nestling against his shoulder, she inhaled the subtle scent of his sweat, embracing him tenderly.

I’m guessing Henry wants to do it again.

Tracing her slender fingers along his chiseled features, she murmured, “Get some rest, and make sure to have some stew later.”

Henry’s gaze grew deep and profound. “Are you worried about me?” he asked.

Indeed, Crystal did feel concerned for him.

Captivated by her gentle and submissive demeanor, the desire within him surged, and he rolled over before pinning her down, yearning for another round.

Before their intimate moment could proceed further, however, his phone rang, playing a distinct ringtone reserved exclusively for Joshua.

Naturally, Crystal displayed a strong aversion toward Joshua’s phone call.

True to expectations, Henry’s face darkened after a brief conversation on the phone. He soon got to his feet and proceeded to get dressed.

Seeing this, Crystal wrapped her arms around him from behind, refusing to let him leave.

“Henry, can’t you just ignore her for once? You know she’s doing this on purpose. How much longer will you let her hurt you? Shouldn’t there be a limit to your debt of gratitude?” she exclaimed.

Isn’t he aware that I’m a woman as well? I can’t keep pretending everything is fine and make him some nourishing food just to watch him go to the hospital to donate blood for a deranged woman!

When her gaze fell upon the needle marks on his arm, she felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

Henry fell silent and simply gave her a passionate kiss that lasted for a long while.

He comforted her, waiting until she had calmed down a bit before reassuring her in a soft voice, “I’ll be back soon.”

“No, you won’t. Audrey won’t allow it,” Crystal whispered, her voice tinged with resignation.

Her tone grew serious, and she uttered, “Henry, Audrey is not your responsibility! While it’s understandable that you want to assist her with the lawsuit, your enabling behavior will only exacerbate her madness.”

In truth, what she wanted to convey was that if Audrey was truly experiencing mental illness, she should consider seeking treatment from a mental health professional.

Henry seemed to have grasped her underlying message.

His gaze flickered with profound and inscrutable emotions, making it difficult to discern his true thoughts. Sensing the weight of his silence, Crystal decided to keep the rest of her thoughts unspoken.

In the end, he still put on his clothes and left.

As usual, Henry did not return.

The spring nights were surprisingly chilly, and as the clock struck three in the morning, Crystal found it difficult to remain lying in bed. Although she initially considered returning to her condominium, she hesitated, not wanting to disturb Snowy.

Just like that, she sat motionless in the living room throughout the night.

Over the next two weeks, Audrey’s penchant for kicking up a fuss escalated to the point where Crystal hardly saw Henry anymore.
