Crystal's One Night of Love

After picking Skyler up, Henry got into the car and fastened his seat belt.

“I’ve been so busy lately that I neglected Skyler a little. How about I take you all for a meal outside?” he suggested after giving it some thought.

Crystal patted Skyler on the head. “What do you think, Skyler?”

Skyler stretched her legs out and yawned lazily as she replied, “Daddy wants to have a candlelight dinner with Mommy.”

The atmosphere grew awkward all of a sudden.

Crystal couldn’t help but wonder how Skyler knew that much.

Noticing Crystal staring at him through the rearview mirror, Henry said nonchalantly, “Kids these days know a lot of things, so it’s nothing to be surprised by.”

Being the talkative girl that she was, Skyler then continued telling Crystal all about the stuff she had heard from her friend in kindergarten.

Of course, she was talking about Christopher.

Crystal felt a little worried and felt there was a need to talk to Henry about this.

She feared that his behavior would rub off on Skyler and become a bad influence on her.

Henry pulled up outside a restaurant about half an hour later.

It wasn’t until Crystal got out of the car that she realized it was the Ferropenian restaurant she had invested in.

She then glanced at Henry in surprise, only to have him say with a chuckle, “There are lots of cases where wives pay for their husbands’ meals. You wouldn’t mind treating me to a meal, would you, Crystal?”

Crystal simply kept quiet.

“Yes, I’ll admit that I did this on purpose. I just wanted to leave my mark on your life so everyone will know you’re my wife. That way, the other guys who like you will know to keep their distance!” Henry continued softly as they carried on walking.

Crystal had predicted this long ago. “That’s not the case for me!”

She was about to carry Skyler out of the car when Henry wrapped his arm around her waist. “Here, I’ll do it!”

Skyler had a disdainful frown on her face when she got out of the car.

All Daddy cares about is courting Mommy! Still, it’s kind of nice to walk while holding both their hands!

Henry got what he wanted the moment they entered the restaurant.

The employees and frequent customers there knew Crystal was married and had a child.

Henry even started socializing with the employees there.

Crystal decided to let him be and started teaching Skyler how to cut a piece of steak.

Skyler was so good at it that Crystal couldn’t help but feel her heart melt when she watched from the side. All she wanted was for Skyler to live her life without being affected by her relationship with Henry. Although Skyler needed a lot of love and care, Crystal didn’t find it to be a burden at all.
