Crystal's One Night of Love

Jamie went to the law firm at ten in the morning.

Henry’s assistant led her into the office with a faint smile. “Welcome back, Jamie!”

Jamie felt uneasy.

She closed the door, then turned to fix her gaze on Henry, who was seated behind the desk.

Henry did not lift his head. He continued reading his documents and asked placidly, “Did Crystal ask you to come?”

Jamie confirmed it with a nod. “Yes. Miss Winters says that I’m skilled in this area and that I’d be of help to you, Mr. Miller.”

Henry let out a soft chuckle..

He closed the file and engaged in a casual conversation with Jamie. Finally, he asked in a nonchalant voice, “By the way, is Mr. Hearnshaw of Seeas Corporation, Ryan Hearnshaw?”

Jamie was slightly taken aback. “Yes, it’s him.”

“Is he married?”

Jamie was confused, but she still answered honestly, “Mr. Hearnshaw is thirty-five this year. He’s a good man, but he has yet to marry, and I heard he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

Unmarried and single…

Henry pursed his lips. “All right, I got it. You may leave.””

Just as Jamie was about to exit with the documents, Henry abruptly asked. “What time is Crystal’s prenatal checkup, and which hospital is it at? Send me the details.”

Jamie could not help but smile. “Of course! I’ll send it to you in a while.”

When Henry arrived at the hospital, it was almost eleven in the morning.

By then, Crystal was already done with her prenatal checkup and was sitting on the chair alone, quietly studying the sonogram.

Henry ambled over to her,

She was alone, and there was no Ryan Hearnshaw in sight.

She figured out that it was a scheme of hers.

Nevertheless, he was not frustrated. He sat down beside her, craned his neck, and said, “Show me.”

Crystal passed him the sonogram.

“He’s almost five months now. You’ve already given him a name, Remi Miller.”

Henry glanced at the sonogram. “A boy?”

Crystal nodded, her gaze landing on his handsome features. At that very moment, she desperately wished that he would suddenly regain his memories and say to her, “I’m sorry I’m late, Crystal.”

But he did not.

Henry, who had lost his memories, could only pretend to be a woman’s husband.

He was only there because he was afraid that she would cheat on him.

Sure enough, after looking at the sonogram, he sent her downstairs, not even bothering to invite her to lunch.

They went their separate ways.

For the following days, Henry lived as though he was single.

He was always at social events, and he rarely went home.

The private investigator would send Crystal photos of Henry attending cocktail parties one after another, with countless socialites around him.

A month later, in the CEO’s office of Seeas Corporation, Crystal was standing silently by the floor-to- ceiling window. There were a few photos scattered on her desk.

Ryan was greeted by that sight when he entered the room..

He pretended not to see anything and said gently, “Miss Winters, how about I attend Mr. Jacklin’s private banquet alone? You should head home early and get some rest.”

Crystal shook her head. “How can I do that to Mr. Jacklin? He helped us out so much.”

Ryan stopped insisting otherwise and exited the room.

At half past nine at night, in Barnwood’s most upscale business club, Crystal was about to leave after

Ryan would be going for a second round of drinking after sending her home. While they walked to the car, they talked about work.

Suddenly, Crystal froze.

Near the elevator, one of the room doors was opened, and she could see everything that went on inside.

There were around five to six men, and she knew half of them. Of course, that included her husband. What caught her attention was how all the men, including Henry, had young women by their sides.

Although he was not embracing anyone, there was a young woman leaning against him, and he did not. push her away.

Crystal stood there quietly and observed him.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Henry lifted his head and their eyes met. There was an awkward tension in the air.
