Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal’s face turned red. “Watch your words. I’m not your wife!”

The man reeked of alcohol.

He leaned back in his seat, then reached out to gently grasp her hand as he searched for the diamond ring on her finger. “You’re still wearing the ring. If you’re not my wife, then whose wife are you?”

Crystal did not know how to respond to that.

Henry looked at her with a gentle gaze. She looks delicate when she’s obedient.

In a hoarse voice, he added, “I’m half your Henry now, aren’t I?”

Crystal blushed. Has he no shame?

The man inched closer, his entire weight resting on her shoulder. “Crystal, I don’t believe you’re not moved.”

In fact, she was, but somehow she felt something was amiss.

She was not used to the fact that he had suddenly remembered a part of their past.

Henry held her hair, then moved down to her neck as he planted a warm and fiery kiss. His lips carried the rich scent of red wine, mixed with a distinctive masculine aroma.

The sounds of passionate breathing and their faint kisses filled the air. The driver in front dared not utter a word.

Henry kissed her for a while, then gently pulled away, resting his forehead against hers. He gazed at her tenderly, savoring her warmth and obedient demeanor.

Crystal was trembling uncontrollably.

She nestled in his arms. After a while, his chest felt warm and damp.

She was crying. Henry, is it really you? Do you know I miss you very much?

“Don’t cry, Crystal. Don’t cry.” Henry murmured. “I’ll gradually recall everything. I promise!”

She suddenly reached out and hit him a few times.

Even though she felt uneasy in her heart, she could not resist him.

When they arrived at the hotel, he walked her to her room.

Having not been a couple for a long time, neither of them could summon the courage to take that next step.

As Crystal was swiping her key card at the door, Henry suddenly embraced her from behind.

He stroked her slender waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. “You still work out, huh? Your waist is as slim as a young girl’s.”

Crystal knew what he desired, but everything was happening too quickly.

She feared that after a night of passion, she would wake up next to a man she no longer recognized.

Crystal grabbed his hand and said, “Didn’t you say you want to take things slow?”

Henry responded with a hum.

After running his hands all over her body for a while, he touched the ring on her finger and said, “Let’s have a grand wedding this time.”

Crystal remained silent.

They had been together and separated several times. She was not too concerned about the grandeur of the wedding. After all, they already had two children together. The more important question was whether Henry was back or not.

Crystal turned in his arms. “When we get back, I’ll go with you to the doctor.”

Henry responded with a faint smile.

Seconds later, he stroked her waist again. “All right.”

They were supposed to return to their respective rooms, but she could not help wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning in his arms.

She had been waiting to do this for a long time.

Henry lowered his head to glance at the woman in his arms.

His eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

At that moment, Crystal was gentle and completely devoted to him. That was something he had missed.
