Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 278 Do You Love Me 

A photo was gently, slipped into the pocket of his shirt.

Crystal thoughtfully adjusted his clothes before patting his shirt.

Henry fixed his gaze on her as he pulled out the photo.

It was a photo of the new intern at his law firm, Lara Chamber,

He moved to the edge of the bed and took a seat. He loosened his tie and questioned, “She’s only an intern. Why are you so bothered about her?

“Just an intern?”

Crystal made her way over to him, bent down, and said softly, “Henry, you’ve gone too far. Do you seriously think I won’t lose my temper?”

Henry chuckled softly and reached out to caress her cheek.

Crystal hated it when he acted this way. She wanted to dodge, but he was fast enough to wrap an arm around her waist. He began to fondle her frivolously.

“Really? What about you? Do you love me? When we have sex, you’ll hug me and say my name. Are you calling me or the man in your memories, huh? I’m just a substitute, Crystal. You’re no better than me.”

Pain assailed Crystal’s heart.

She lowered her gaze and sneered, “Henry, all you’re saying is that you won’t fire her. Answer me this. Are you seeking an intern or holding onto a remnant of your past regrets? Henry, while you’re sleeping with me and enjoying the benefits of being married to me, you keep someone like that next to you. Isn’t it disgusting?”

Crystal picked up the photo and tore it into pieces in front of him.

Henry stepped back, his eyes glistening. He had never seen that side of Crystal.

After a considerable pause, he let out a soft chuckle. “I’ve come to realize I married a strong-willed woman.”

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

As their bodies came into contact, the air turned amorous.

Crystal looked down and said coldly, “I just gave birth less than a month ago. Are you a beast?”

Henry wanted to have sex with her, but her words made his desire fade away.

Of course, they had shed all pretenses, so there was no need for him to hold back or mask his emotions. He pinched her cheek and said, “Well, I can’t help but be a beast every night when I’m with you, Mrs. Miller.”

Crystal pushed him aside. She rose to her feet and smoothened the wrinkles on her attire, then forcefully swung the door open and walked away.

That night, she didn’t return to the master bedroom. knew, she could be spending the night in the guest room or the study, missing the old Henry.

Yes, their marriage had a problem, for she loved her husband.

Henry didn’t remember her. Despite sharing six months together and putting in the effort, he found himself incapable of developing affection for her.

The shredded photo were scattered on the ground.

Henry knew that if he loved her, he would do whatever she asked of him. However, he did not love her, and their marriage was falling apart.

Presently, there was no need for pretense, and Henry experienced a sense of relief.

To him, marriage ought to be straightforward, involving shared child-rearing responsibilities and occasional intimacy, perhaps a few times over the weekends.

It was hard if emotions were involved.
