Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 264 We Have Another Child 

Holding her chest, Crystal retched a few times.

Henry had just finished preparing the milk and was walking over when he heard the sounds. With an anxious expression, he asked, “Are you all right?”

Crystal’s face had lost all color.

Despite knowing what was going on, she gently shook her head. “It’s nothing. It’s probably just indigestion.”

After helping her to sit, Henry kneeled down and gently patted her. While doing so, he suggested softly, “Next time, just leave the housework to the housekeeper. If you don’t want. to, I’ll help you with whatever you need.”

At that moment, he was ready to share her burdens.

His words warmed Crystal’s heart as she stared at his handsome features. Henry is a really good husband once he has settled down.

Crystal stroked his face tenderly and said, “Weren’t you looking forward to having another child? Henry… Perhaps Skyler might have a younger brother or sister next year.”

The news stunned Henry.

Crystal then held his hand and placed it on her tummy. “Are you dumbfounded by the joy?”

Considering how often we make love, my getting pregnant shouldn’t come as a surprise, should it?

Upon regaining his senses shortly, Henry ran his fingers across her abdomen. Although it was clear he wouldn’t get a response at such an early stage, he still wanted to feel the child’s presence with his own hand.

Thereafter, he leaned closer to her on one knee.

Any woman would feel their heart melt when the man they loved showed them intimacy, and Crystal was no exception. Henry might not have said a word, but his delight couldn’t be more obvious to her.

“Henry, take the spaghetti out of the water before it turns to mush.”

Nevertheless, Henry still felt reluctant to do so.

Crystal ran her delicate fingers across his face. “If I’m really pregnant, you have to remember not to neglect Skyler.”

Henry couldn’t help but laugh as he replied, “Of course I won’t. I’ll take good care of all three of you!” With that, he carried Crystal up in his arms and placed her on the living room couch.

After that, he continued to stare intently at her stomach, eliciting a gentle pat on his hand. from Crystal.

“Go and fish the spaghetti out. Also, remember to warm Skyler’s milk.”

Henry leaned closer to give her a kiss. “Thank you, Crystal!”

Just as he was done in the kitchen, Melora arrived.

When Henry-shaking the milk bottle in hand-saw that she was in tears, he inquired, “Were you bullied by that old fogey again?”

Upset by the inappropriate comment, Crystal urged him, “It’s Skyler’s bedtime soon. You had better bring the milk to her quickly.”

Henry’s gaze darkened as he could tell what she was trying to do.

Instead of saying another word, he headed upstairs to check on his daughter.

After ranting about what happened, Melora subconsciously sat down and ate the plate of spaghetti, slurping it and sniffling at the same time.
