Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 273 I Want To Be Close To You

Henry retrieved a set of clean garments from the closet and proceeded to change in Crystal’s presence without hesitation.

Crystal merely stared at him without a word.

After changing his clothes, Henry met her gaze and was about to say something sarcastic when his phone rang.

He glanced at his phone and realized it was David. “Hey, Dad.”

Crystal couldn’t hear what David said, but Henry’s gaze fell on her. “Yes, she’s with me. We’ll go home tonight and have dinner together with you.”

After ending the call, he said calmly. “Dad wants us to join them for dinner tonight. I’m a little busy. You go ahead with the child first.”

Crystal knew well that he wasn’t busy; he just didn’t want to give her a ride.

She didn’t force him and agreed readily. They both made their way downstairs.

Henry told the driver to give her a ride while he opened the door to a black McLaren.

He was about to get into the car when Crystal stepped forward. There was only a car door separating

them.

Crystal said calmly. “Henry, you can treat me coldly, but Skylar is very sensitive. I hope you won’t say those things when she’s present.”

Henry recalled the child mentioned in the documents.

She resembled Crystal with her fair skin and curly hair.

She’s quite adorable.

He gave an indifferent nod. “Don’t worry.”

Crystal was relieved to hear that.

She watched as the black sports car sped off, slowly disappearing before her eyes.
