Crystal's One Night of Love

The storm settled with Henry willingly taking on the role of the understanding partner.

His intentions were clear. Even if Crystal was struggling with some psychological demons, and even if their relationship hit some bumps, he was willing to stand by her.

The tides changed, and soon Henry became the poster child for the perfect guy.

Stocks for both Miller Corporation and Seeas Corporation shot up instead of plummeting.

However, Henry wasn’t in the best of spirits. After the press conference, he locked himself in his office, replaying Crystal’s words over and over.

“My husband lost five years of memories about us. I know he loves me! Nevertheless, maybe it’s because I’ve been let down too many times. I’m afraid to accept his affections again. I always feel that if I let guard down and love him again, misfortune and betrayal will rear their ugly heads once more. He helped a woman I really didn’t like. Yet, I forgave him with grace…”

Henry listened again and again.

”

He recalled that one night he had helped Lara and met Audrey one last time.

At that time, he had bade goodbye to his past.

He had thought from then on that there would be no barriers between him and Crystal.

Little did he know that Crystal’s graciousness was just a form of compromise. It was one that tormented her internally. She had never been truly happy.

Henry gently closed his eyes. The corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Just then, his phone on the desk.

It was the clinic calling rang.

He picked up, and the director apologized, “Mr. Miller, I’m truly sorry for the breach of Mrs. Miller’s privacy due to internal issues. We’ve terminated the employee responsible for it…

“I’ll be taking legal action against her.” Henry’s tone was cool.

Upon ending the call, he checked the time. It was almost time to pick up Skyler from school.

He drove over personally to get her.

Ar the kindergarten gate, Skyler waved a reluctant goodbye to Christopher Then, she was scooped up by her father and placed inside the golden Bentley Continental.

Henry secured her into the seat and fastened her seatbelt.
