Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal allowed Henry to have his way with her.

The kiss came out of the blue and was exceedingly rough, so she was afraid to add fuel to the flames.

Henry’s lips traveled from her lips to her neck before moving to the back of her ear. In a hoarse voice, he murmured, “Crystal, you actually care, don’t you? You still love me, but you haven’t forgiven me, right?”

Crystal pressed her hands against his shoulders, finding such a position beyond mortifying.

She composed herself before hissing, “Let me down! The help will gossip when you do such. a thing. How am I to face them henceforth? Besides, we’re not a married couple for real!”

Skyler was ignorant due to her tender age, but the same could not possibly be said of the help.

Henry nipped her lightly. “They’re all up in years, so they’ll understand. Besides, there must be a process when a divorced couple reconciles. We’re at that stage now. Dating can’t involve sweet talk alone. Kissing is only natural!”

Crystal bore her eyes into him.

By then, Henry’s voice was already husky beyond recognition. “Why are you staring at me? If you really feel sorry for me, lend me a hand.”

At his words, Crystal’s gaze drifted downward.

Ignoring his proposal, she quipped, “You’re no longer a lawyer, but you’re still as glib as ever.”

Henry chuckled softly.

He carried her down and allowed her to continue cooking. Meanwhile, he calmed himself for some time before leaving the kitchen.

When he had left, Crystal’s emotions were a jumbled mess.

In truth, she had wanted to ask him why he left the legal profession just now.

The question was right on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back down. She felt that he was aware of her intention. Yet, neither of them brought that subject up.

Admittedly, she had feelings for him.

She was a mature woman and was not cold-blooded, so it would be abnormal if she were emotionless.

However, it was too fast.

They were always breaking up and getting back together. If she were to reconcile with him again easily, Skyler would be affected if things were to end badly between them in the future.

Therefore, she was rather lost.

She could not even bring herself to enjoy dinner. Nonetheless, she was incredibly tender. when it came to anything to do with Skyler.

Later that night, she coaxed Skyler to sleep while leaning against the headboard of the bed.

Nestling in her mother’s arms, Skyler closed her

eyes.

Crystal gently read her the bedtime story of “Cinderella.”

Skyler opened her eyes a slit. “When Daddy read me this previously, he said he’s your prince, Mommy!”

At that, Crystal cleared her throat.

Gah! Henry is truly shameless!

Subsequently, Skyler sighed contentedly. “The prince and princess will always get married in the end!”

Gazing at her fair and petite face, Crystal kissed her lovingly.

Skyler then started snoring.

Thinking that her daughter had fallen asleep, Crystal put the storybook down and got ready to sleep when Skyler suddenly asked, “What about you and Daddy, Mommy?”

While hugging her, Crystal answered tenderly, “Your daddy and I are dating.”
