Crystal's One Night of Love

The next morning, only Henry and Crystal were present in the dining room.

The housekeeper smiled. “Mr. and Mrs. Miller brought the children out!”

Henry was aware that his parents were creating an opportunity for him to be alone with Crystal. As such, he went along with their wishes and turned to Crystal. “There’s a concert at two in the afternoon later. Should we attend it after you feed Remi?”

Crystal was enjoying her meal silently.

A moment lager, she said, “I want to stay at home!”

Staring at her, Henry said, “It has stopped snowing outside, though. Don’t you want to head outdoors?”

“Not really!” said Crystal.

Henry was slightly taken aback by her response.

As he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was very prideful. As such, he never expected he’d be rejected by any woman.

This woman… Feeling slightly embarrassed, he didn’t insist on her going and planned to check on a case upstairs later.

Just as he was about to rise, his phone rang.

It was from Lara.

Henry glanced at his phone, then at Crystal, and hung up the call.

Again, the phone rang and he still ignored it.

Theh, he turned to Crystal, whispering, “I won’t contact her again once her life is no longer in danger.”

Crystal settled her cutleries down and stared at him. “Why did you remove her from your blacklist? Are you pitying her?”

“Crystal

“If she able to lie at the bottom of the mountain this time, she can jump off of a building next, Henry. If you don’t answer her call, she’ll ask her classmate to pass her message to you. When that time comes, the whole ruanon on will repeat itself.” A faint smile settled on Crystal’s countenance. “If it happened once, it’ll happen over and over again.”

As she was too lazy to speak further, she returned to the bedroom to do some reading.

At noon, she didn’t dine with him.

When afternoon arrived, she practiced yoga in the basement, sweating all over.

Standing at the entrance, Henry held her phone. “Someone’s calling you.”

Crystal was stretching her leg when she heard that. Without delay, she went to him and thanked him.

Upon checking her phone, she saw it was from Madison.

Madison invited Crystal to an event as she had heard certain gossip from somewhere.

However, Crystal was feeling a little too lazy to accept the invitation.

Madison lay her head on Charles’ shoulder and touched his tall nose. “It’ll just be some old friends! You’re living the best life any of us can hope for compared to the rest of us. You’ve got several hundred billion in terms of wealth, a handsome husband, as well as a daughter and son. Come and join us. There’ll be a mysterious guest there.”

Crystal chuckled. “Who is it? Why are you making them out to be so important?”

Madison refilled to reveal anything.

Wiping her sweat away, Crystal said. “Fine. Is it still the same clubhouse?”

“Yeah,” answered Madison impishly. Then, she lowered her voice. “Please doll up, okay? It’ll absolutely be well worth the trouble.”.

Crystal couldn’t help but laugh. It’s nice to have a friend like Madison by my side throughout all these years.
