Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 267 Stubbornly Staying By Her Side

Night came.

In the mansion’s living room, the lights were bright.

Not forgetting that she was Skyler’s mother, Crystal kept her worries inside her and treated Skyler with the utmost tenderness.

Skyler, having been frightened out of her mind, was sprawled on Crystal’s legs as she whispered, “When is Daddy coming back?”

Crystal caressed her cheeks. Just as she was about to answer her daughter, the sounds of a car’s engine came from the outside. She quickly held Skyler’s hand and headed out, a look of unprecedented apprehension on her face.

The moment Henry got out of the car, he met her eyes.

The two stared at each other for a long while before Henry continued his way over.

Lifting Skyler to kiss her, he then said to Crystal, “I’m fine. Don’t scare Skyler.”

Crystal’s eyes were teary as she continued staring at him.

At that, Henry wrapped his arm around her shoulders and rested his forehead against hers. “I’m really fine. I’ve come back in one piece, Crystal.”

Crystal’s lips trembled.

She knew she should hold back her emotions, but she could not help but lean into his shoulders. Tears fell down her face silently. In no time, the fabric on his shoulder was damp and warm, an uncomfortable sensation.

“Crystal,” he softly called out to her, patting her as though he was consoling a child.

Just then, David came over, gesturing for the housekeeper to bring Skyler away.

He had always doted on Crystal, but after what happened, and since Melora was not too capable, he had to make sure that Crystal grew more mature to help Henry bear the burden.

Softly, he told Crystal, “From now on, everyone in the family will be depending on you.”

Henry was reluctant to let Crystal bear the burden, but he knew that it was a necessity.

His father was old. One day, he would pass.
