Crystal's One Night of Love

In the master bedroom, only a bedside lamp was lit, casting a dim yellow light over the space.

The atmosphere was incredibly romantic and sensual.

Locked in a kiss in each other’s arms, Henry and Crystal tumbled onto the foot of the bed. together.

It had been three years since they had last been intimate with one another. Henry was somewhat inept, while Crystal was a tad restrained.

However, her shyness rendered her all the more alluring.

Leaning close to her ear, Henry thoughtfully and tenderly coaxed her at first. Subsequently, he started losing control and allowed his nature to take over.

Pleasure flooded them both time and again.

Without warning, the bedroom door swung open, revealing a little girl hugging a pillow and rubbing her eyes. “Daddy!”

Everything screeched to a standstill.

Henry arduously exhaled a breath and gazed down at Crystal.

Crystal’s voice was hoarse and wobbly. “Cuddle her, Henry!”

Henry’s gaze was dark, and his Adam’s apple bobbed repeatedly. Ultimately, he put on his bathrobe before getting out of bed and scooping the little girl up.

Skyler burrowed into her father’s embrace.

She had a nightmare and had yet to wake fully. Perhaps she was scared, for she hooked her arms around Henry’s neck and hugged him tightly.

Henry comforted her lovingly. Then, he shifted his eyes to the woman beside him and murmured in a gravelly voice, “Go and wash up. Otherwise, it’ll be uncomfortable for you.”

Crystal’s face burned slightly. He grabbed his shirt, put it on, slipped into the bathroom.

In the dimly lit master bedroom, Skyler whimpered softly in her father’s arms.

Henry took a storybook from the bedside table and read it to her, his voice pleasant and husky. Slowly, Skyler quietened down.

That was precisely the scene that greeted Crystal when she stepped out of the bathroom.

Her heart inevitably softened.

Well, our reconciliation indeed has something to do with Skyler. He has sacrificed a lot for her. In the past, it would’ve been practically impossible for him to pause in the hustle and bustle of his busy life.

After toweling her hair dry, she sat down on the edge of the bed. She stroked Skyler’s head lightly and asked in a low voice, “Does she always wake up in the middle of the night?”

Henry placed the storybook aside.

The look in his eyes was dark and unfathomable.

A long moment later, he chuckled softly. “You’re afraid she’d always barge in at the critical juncture?”

Crystal flushed bright red. “You know that wasn’t what I meant, Henry!”

Henry’s gaze remained fixed on her.

She had just taken a shower. Her skin was still tinged with a rosy shade left from their passionate encounter earlier, and she emanated a faint sense of sultriness. He was seized by the desire to carry on where they left off.

Seeing right through him, Crystal whispered, “Keep it for another time!”
