Crystal's One Night of Love

Well aware of how shameless Henry could be, Crystal blushed. “You jerk!”

Henry pulled her onto his lap and teased, “Did you not? Who didn’t want me to leave the bathroom this morning?”

Crystal did not want to reply to him.

She pushed him away and was about to walk toward the couch to put away the documents. when Henry’s phone rang.

It was a call from David.

“Joshua just passed away,” he said briefly.

David’s intention was simple. Joshua was Crystal’s biological father, and it would be better if Henry told her the news.

Henry understood the meaning of that call too.

After he hung up, he pulled Crystal back into his embrace and rested his chin on her head.

“Joshua’s gone,” Henry said in a soft voice.

Crystal was visibly taken aback.

She leaned against Henry’s chest and did not say anything.

Henry knew she was upset. After all, that man had been with Krystal and then had Crystal.

In a low voice, Henry said, “I can go with you… if you want to.”

After a long while, Crystal shook her head. “No. I’m not going.”

Knowing that Crystal would not feel good about it, Henry kept her company.

It was Joshua’s funeral the next day.

Crystal went to Krystal’s grave with a bouquet of lilies. Gazing at Krystal’s smiling young face, she said, “Mom, that man has gone.”

Standing by her side, Henry gently wrapped his arm over her shoulders, comforting her

without words.

Crystal leaned against Henry and whispered, “Joshua spat out a mouthful of blood here at Dad’s funeral four years ago. It seemed that it was destined to end this way. Henry, Joshua lett Mom down, but I don’t think he’s had a good time over the times or he wouldn’t have gotten.

sick.”

Henry hummed in response.

He hoped Crystal could let go. If she did, she would feel much better.

It was almost noon when Henry walked Crystal out of the graveyard. After they got into the car, he said, “Dad invited us over for a meal. Melora has brought Skyler there.”

Crystal’s heart melted. “Skyler likes Melora very much!”

Speaking of Melora, Crystal thought about Alfred and sighed.
