Crystal's One Night of Love

Skyler finally agreed to leave the closet when it was nine at night.

She gobbled down twice her usual portion of dinner.

Crystal indulged her that day. She personally bathed the little girl, blow-dried her hair, and told her bedtime stories. Skyler knew that Crystal was staying overnight, so she fell asleep. contentedly.

Crystal dimmed the bedside lamp and quietly slipped out.

She wanted to talk to Henry, so she circled around until she found him in the study. He was sitting in the dimly lit space quietly. It was rare to see him not smoking.

“Henry,” Crystal called out.

Slightly startled, he stood up and walked toward her, closing the door behind him. “Is she asleep?”

Crystal nodded. She was about to speak, but he pulled her into his arms, pressing her against the doorframe.

Crystal’s back felt a little sore as his grip was quite forceful. Sensing that his mood was foul, she bit back the pain and softly said, “Let’s talk!”

Henry absentmindedly murmured in agreement.

He slowly lowered his head, burying his face in her neck. After a while, Crystal felt a slight dampness which was rather uncomfortable.

However, she didn’t push him.

At that moment, she realized that he wasn’t invulnerable after all.

During that trip to the Kingdom of Brundela, she wasn’t the only one who suffered as he also paid an immeasurable price himself.

Perhaps it was because they shared the same experience, or perhaps it was the fact that they were co-parenting a child, for she felt her heart softened. She gently placed her hand on the back of his neck, offering a soft, affectionate caress.

Henry stiffened.

He looked at her, his gaze deep and mysterious.
