Crystal's One Night of Love

Henry went to the study and sat alone inside, smoking quietly.

In the past three years, he had been so busy that he barely found time to miss Crystal, let alone anything else.

Now that he had a moment to reflect, he realized forcing Crystal to sever ties with Seth was one of his most regrettable decisions.

That act had allowed Seth to claim a permanent spot in Crystal’s heart.

Even if she didn’t love Seth, her sentiment for him was sufficient to make Henry feel bitter.

While Henry was feeling resentful, his musings were interrupted when the door to the study was pushed open. A barefoot little girl with curly brown hair dressed in an adorable floral pattern nightgown peeped in through the door gap. “Daddy!”

Skyler threw herself into Henry’s arm, hugging his neck affectionately.

Henry placed her tiny feet in his lap, kissed her, and tenderly asked, “Why are you awake?”

Half-asleep, Skyler leaned against him, whimpering for her mother.

Henry felt a stir in his heart at the thought of the woman in the master bedroom. How can I let Skyler see Crystal in that state?

“Your mommy is asleep in my room,” he said gently.

“I want to sleep with Mommy!”

Holding her with one arm, Henry gently rocked her and told her a bedtime.

story.

In the deep of the night, his slightly hoarse voice had a soothing effect on any listener’s heart.

Skyler slowly dozed off in his arms. However, Henry knew putting her down would wake her, so he wrapped her in a small blanket and cradled her for nearly an hour.

Late at night, Skyler finally fell into a deep sleep.

Henry sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her delicate petite face, and couldn’t stop himself from pecking her on the check.

This little girl is my and Crystal’s child. I love her so much.

Skyler rolled on the bed, hugging her carrot pillow.

Reluctant to leave right away, Henry stayed with her a bit longer.

When he returned to the bedroom, he stopped in shock, taking in the scene before him.

Crystal’s hair was drenched and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. She looked rather disheveled.

Henry approached the bed, bending to look at her while gulping repeatedly.

He removed the necktie and released her. Crystal panted lightly, and her voice was soft when she cursed. “Henry, you b*stard!”
