Crystal's One Night of Love

Henry did not want to divorce.

Over the next few days, he persistently pestered Crystal and often showed up at Seeas Corporation when it was time for her to get off work.

Everyone thought they were a lovely couple.

Crystal, however, felt mentally exhausted.

She had been accommodating to him in various ways, even tolerating his fiery temper and inappropriate.

conduct in bed.

However, he overstepped her boundaries time and again when it came to matters concerning Lara. He was fully aware of the woman’s ambitions, yet he persisted in letting her remain by his side.

It was as though Henry did not respect his wife.

In fact, he believed that as long as he didn’t engage in physical intimacy with other women, he could still consider himself a faithful husband.

At five-thirty in the evening, Crystal signed the document and handed it to Edith. “Distribute these and then feel free to leave for the day.”

“Miss Winters, Mr. Miller called and said that he wishes to pick up Skyler together with you,” Edith informed.

Seeing that Crystal remained silent, Edith didn’t dare to say more. She departed the office while clutching: the documents.

Crystal sat at her desk for a while, lost in thought. A moment later, she packed up her belongings and left.

As she descended in the elevator, she remained deep in thought.

Henry’s persistent harassment and refusal to divorce have become unbearable. Now, he’s attempting to manipulate my emotions by involving our child. Little does he know, it’s precisely our child that propelled me to make this decision so swiftly!

Meanwhile, Henry sat comfortably on a sofa at the Secas Corporation lounge, radiating an air of sophistication.

He was wearing a gray shirt paired with a classic black suit, and his chiseled features were radiant. It was as though he was not a man on the verge of being divorced.

At Crystal’s arrival, Henry quickly stood up and graciously took her bag. “The kindergarten has an event today, so the classes will run a bit longer. We’ll be able to make it in time to pick up Skyler,” he said with a gentle smile.

He was an intelligent man; he knew that Crystal would not want to kick up a fuss in public.

Moreover, she wanted Skyler to be happy too.

As Crystal stepped into his car, Henry could sense her reluctance to engage with him. Every time they met, her most frequent inquiry revolved around when he would finally sign the divorce papers.

Henry gulped before saying in a deep voice, “Buckle up!”

Crystal snapped back to her senses.

After she secured her seatbelt, he started the car and asked gently, “Shall we take Skyler out for dinner later? Last night, she kept insisting on having dinner with both her parents.”

His words carried an unspoken message, and Crystal naturally caught on.

She remained silent for a brief moment before finally responding. “After our divorce, you’re welcome to spend time with both her and Remi whenever you please.”

Henry’s fingers tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning pale.

He inquired softly, “And what about you? Can’t I see you as well?”

Crystal was greatly saddened.

She had once made a promise not to give up on him, but now she was reneging on that commitment.

“Of course, we can meet. However, our relationship has changed.” She averted her gaze and murmured.

Henry didn’t press further. It was a while later before he spoke, his voice barely audible. “Crystal, can’t you forgive me this time?”

Crystal’s lips quivered.

There was so much she wanted to say, yet in the end, she kept silent.
