Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 200 I Want It

The air in the office turned still as Crystal’s face lost all color.

A long while passed before she responded wryly, “You know, Henry, I would rather negotiate other terms. with you. The only things we shouldn’t be discussing are our relationship, future, and marriage…”

Crystal raised her head slightly and added, “Who was it that said marriage is just a useless piece of paper?”

Slightly shaken by the words, Henry replied in a raspy yet gentle voice, “I’m sorry that I’ve hurt you, Crystal.”

He pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.

After getting a grip of herself, Crystal softly declared, “Since you’re asking for a chance, I’ll give it to you. One year… I’ll be with you for one year, and then, we’re done!”

Henry sat down with his back to the window. The light that illuminated his silhouette cast a shadow over

14 his body.

Upon hearing her words, he cocked his brow slightly. “What if you change your mind and want to marry me within the year?”

When Crystal kept mum, he understood what she was thinking.

She would make sure she wouldn’t develop feelings for him.

For that entire year, she was only willing to give what she had clearly stated.

As Henry lay back on the couch in a seemingly relaxed inanner, his entire body was actually feeling awkwardly stiff. Well, great then. With my support, she has now learned how to negotiate and even pull the wool

over my eyes.

When he fell into a long silence, Crystal stared intently at him and asked with a tense voice, “Do you the deal or not, Henry?”

“I do!” Henry heard himself compromising with her..

While Crystal was dazed by his response, Henry walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her body. He then pressed his lips against her ears and whispered, “Crystal, I want you… Stop harping on the idea that sex is all I want. There’s no way I can do something like that to you. Both of us have always been. in a proper relationship, so don’t say such things anymore, all right?”

Henry’s charm offensive was unparalleled. Whenever he wanted to get his way, he would use it on her.

Well aware of his tricks, Crystal asserted calmly, “We won’t cohabitate or see each other’s parents!”

“Sure. That said, I’m sure it isn’t too much to invite you to stay over for the weekends. That’s what normal couples do, isn’t it?”

Crystal had no objections, for she wasn’t really keen on him going over to her condominium.

Once negotiations were concluded and Crystal was about to take her leave, Henry gently pressed her down on her shoulders and leaned in to kiss her. Their position-him standing and her sitting-wasn’t exactly comfortable but strangely arousing.
