Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 203 How Did We Reach This Point.

The sound of the engine starting echoed from the yard a while later. It had to be Henry leaving.

Crystal guessed he was probably mad, but she didn’t take it to heart.

Since he wasn’t home, she might as well leave with Snowy too.

For the entire day, none of them contacted the other.

On Saturday night, Crystal attended Madison’s and Charles’ wedding reception.

The reception was taking place at a five-star hotel. With only four tables, it seemed quieter compared to Ritchie’s wedding. Besides that, Charles’ and Madison’s conditions weren’t that well either.

Crystal congratulated the couple and gave them her sincerest blessings.

Madison’s voice shook slightly as she pulled Crystal into an embrace.

Charles’ gaze met Crystal’s behind Madison’s back.

The look in his eyes was complicated. As a man, he knew all too well what Crystal had sacrificed. That knowledge filled him with gratification and guilt.

Crystal flashed him a faint smile.

Charles had always been frivolous, but he was aware he could never repay everything he owed Crystal.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Crystal sat down. Her gaze swept through the room, but she didn’t see Henry anywhere.

Relief flooded her.

Every guest had a mix of emotions as they ate. Even the toasting of the bride and groom was less cheerful However, Charles’ handheld onto Madison’s throughout the entire party. That gave her the energy to maintain the forced smile on her face.

Once the event ended, Crystal went to the restroom.

A memory of Charles holding Madison’s hand flitted through her mind as she washed her hands. Madison will surely be happy. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Charles’ voice sounded from her back. “Crystal.”

Crystal looked over her shoulder to see him dressed in a suit, smoking as he leaned against the wall of the hallway. When he saw her looking back, he stubbed out the cigarette and earnestly thanked her.

Crystal merely replied, “It wasn’t easy for you two to get together, so treat Madison well.”

Charles nodded.

A moment later, he couldn’t contain his worry and asked, “How are things between you and him?”

Even without Charles pointing it out, they both knew who he was implying
