Crystal's One Night of Love

Henry made it sound intimate on purpose.

Crystal was exasperated and amused at the same time.

After giving her one last meaningful gaze, he gave Ewan a curt nod and got into the car.

Skyler leaned against the window and mouthed the words, “You’re done for!”

Daddy is vindictive!

Standing under the nightsky, Crystal watched as the luxury car disappeared into the distance and shook her head. Dealing with Henry is even more tiring than caring for a child.

Ewan noticed it all.

He looked down at the sweet in his hand, certain that he no longer had a shot. Even if Henry was not in the picture, the child was another compelling reason.

Despite her young age, the girl is sharp as a tack. Not only did she call me Handsome, she even shot me down on Crystal’s behalf.

Upon regaining her composure, Crystal smiled apologetically at him.

Ewan smiled as well. He looked in the direction the car had left and, after a long time, asked carefully, “You’re… still in love with him, aren’t you?”

Henry brought Skyler home.

Upon returning to the mansion, the child took a shower. He, on the other hand, sat quietly on the couch, looking grim.

Although he knew that Crystal and Ewan would never end up together, he was jealous regardless.

Unable to bear the torment of his thoughts, he picked up his phone and sent Crystal a text: Do you like young men now, Miss Winters? They’re young and inexperienced. Would they be able to satisfy you?

Crystal stared at her phone for a long time to ascertain that it was from Henry.

The past three years has taken a toll on him.

Crystal could not be bothered to entertain him. She merely replied: Thank you for your concern. I’ll give it a try.

Henry flung his phone in anger when he read it.

They were mad at each other.

Skyler ran out in a pair of pajamas after her shower and nuzzled up against Henry.

Henry put away his scowl as he wiped her hair dry. Although she was so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep, she did not forget to console her father. “Moinmy won’t like that Mr. Hudson.”

Henry was delighted, but he pretended to be unperturbed. “Hmmm?”

Skyler yawned. “Mommy is so pretty that it’s normal for men to like her, just like me. There are so many boys in the kindergarten who like me that I can’t even count them!”
