Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 205 Call Me Henry

Crystal smiled. “What do you want me to ask?” she questioned, a slightly teasing tone to her voice.

Henry stared at her smile, captivated by it. She seldom smiled around him or was that relaxed. He stopped asking questions and leaned back in his seat, staring at her. A moment later, he rasped, “I was there for work. I did not meet with her.”

Crystal hummed.

Henry was still staring at her, waiting for something, but he didn’t get what he wanted. He had no idea what kind of response he wanted from Crystal. Maybe he wanted to see her get jealous, or maybe he just wanted her to start a fight.

Either was better than this lackluster response. His already grim mood plummeted further. On one hand, his grandmother just died. On the other, Crystal’s response was about as warm as a glass of water. It was a bit frustrating, but he told himself that he was a man and had to stay calm.

Since he wished to start over with her, he put a lot more effort into their relationship than before.

Crystal had her own walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and Henry had picked a few sets of clothes for her. All of them were from niche brands Crystal liked, and some were the same type of clothes she personally had

Since she liked to work, he made a study for her.

Crystal could feel the effort he was putting in. Even though she never responded to anything, she was willing to get along with him. Because of that, she would tolerate him when he was in a bad mood.

After dinner, he insisted on watching a movie in the theater room, and Crystal shut the file she was working on. The moment she stood up, Henry held the tip of her finger. That gentle touch tingled more than all the steamy times they had.

Crystal didn’t remember Henry having this gentle side. He preferred a more feral approach, and he mostly did it on the bed.

Crystal paused for a moment, then she looked at him.

Henry pulled her closer and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “I set up a horror movie and made sure the lights were turned off. Bet you’ll be scared out of your mind.”
