Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal refused to fall for his trick.

She harrumphed softly. “I’m not unhappy. That’s your personal life.”

Henry let out a gentle chuckle. “She isn’t a part of my personal life. You and Skyler are what truly matters to me.”

Turning to Skyler, he asked, “Am I right?”

Skyler climbed onto her father’s lap and gazed at Crystal as though the latter was a heartless

person.

Crystal was speechless.

While they conversed, Jamie entered the room bearing a tray full of Skyler’s beloved waffles and a selection of additional treats.

Behind her was the tall female celebrity, Thalia Zuckerberg.

Thalia was confident of herself.

Her acting skills were excellent, allowing her to win major awards. She also had a reputation for being virtuous in the industry.

Back at Hawen, she missed the opportunity to meet Henry. Hence, she was determined not to let the chance slip away again as she was here to sign the contract.

Jamie gestured. “Ms. Zuckerberg, please have a seat!”

Thalia smiled faintly and was about to sit down when she noticed someone already sitting on the couch.

It was a very attractive woman, young and elegant, different from the typical skinny female stars in the entertainment industry. The woman was slender but still curvaceous.

Thalia’s heart constricted.

Is this Mr. Miller’s lover?

As she was still trying to comprehend their connection, the young girl descended from Henry’s lap and took hold of Jamie’s hand, making her way to the small table to enjoy the
