Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 284 The Cold Shoulder 

Late that night, the two of them went upstairs together.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Henry closed the door behind them and pulled Crystal into his embrace.

Her face lightly hit his shoulder.

While rubbing her face against his shirt, she caught a whiff of the faint tobacco smell on his body.

Crystal knew what he wanted from her, and she had to admit that she missed his scent.

However, that wasn’t the right time, and she wasn’t in the mood. She asked softly, “What do you want to say to me?”

Henry lowered his gaze to look at her.

At that moment, she looked rather gentle.

“I will never fall for that girl! Don’t be mad, okay?”

Crystal leaned on his shoulder and said softly, “Well, she cares a lot about you.”

Crystal didn’t bother to kick up a big fuss because she wanted him to handle the matter on his own and give her a satisfactory decision.

He was a smart man, so she thought he should know what she wanted.

Henry froze momentarily and caressed her face. “She doesn’t matter to me! Crystal, you should know who I’m truly into! Let’s move back to the mansion after New Year’s! Everything was great back then, no?”

Henry was trying to be as patient as he could when he said those tender words.

Yet, Crystal couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Although the heater in the room was switched on, she still felt her body going cold.

Her voice was filled with exhaustion when she uttered, “Henry, you still don’t get it!” She pushed him away and walked toward the door. Holding the doorknob, she said indifferently, “I’m sleeping with the kids. Goodnight!”

“Crystal!” Henry called out.

Crystal lowered her gaze and opened the door to leave the room.

Henry stood still for a while before he slowly made his way toward the couch and sat down. He had a lot of work matters to attend to that night, but he didn’t have the mood for it. All he wanted at that moment was to sleep with Crystal. This is perhaps one of the deep-seated flaws of men. Once we get a taste of it, we’ll find it extremely hard to resist it. At first, I was against the marriage. After having sex with Crystal, however, I ended up liking married life! I even thought it was nice having a family of my own! But I don’t understand what’s on her mind. I don’t fancy Lara one bit! I merely did her a small favor. If anything. I guess I feel bad for Lara, but that’s all there is!

In the end, he still flipped through his documents for two hours before going to bed.

He was sleeping soundly when he was by awakened by a child’s fluffy hair tickling his chest. He reached out and pulled Skyler into his embrace. With her cold feet pressing against his tummy, Skyler mumbled, “Warm my feet for me, Daddy!”

Henry remained in bed and switched on one of the bedside lamps.
