Crystal's One Night of Love

Upon returning to the banquet hall, Crystal found the atmosphere as lively as ever.

She was the focal point of the entire event. Other than being the daughter-in-law of the Miller family, it was also due to the news from before. Everyone closely observed her interaction with Henry, hoping to find a clue.

Unfortunately, their attempts were futile due to Crystal’s gracious behavior.

She sat beside Henry, gently leaning against his shoulder and humbly listening to him talking business. with others. Whenever there was something she could contribute, she would politely interject.

Instead, it was Clementine who stood out among the sea of men.

Feeling smug, she was about to flirt with Henry when the latter took off his jacket and covered his wife’s lap with it. While doing so, he said gently, “You must be cold. I told you to put on something thicker before we came. Look at how well Miss Dynah takes care of herself.”

The crowd turned to Clementine, who was dressed in a fur coat and sweating profusely from the heat.

She felt embarrassed when she heard that.

Robert, who had arrived late, coincidentally heard the comment and flashed a faint smile in response.

The sight of her ex naturally made her jealous. Of all the men Clementine had been with, Robert was her one true love. Yet, he only had eyes for Crystal.

Her lips trembling, Clementine said, “I have a big present for you today, Mr. Sloan!”

Robert glanced at Crystal.

Even though she was keeping a low profile by Henry’s side, he quickly spotted the watch on her wrist.

It was a matching watch with Henry’s.

The sight made him realize how Henry could be so confident.

Although Crystal had her reservations about the marriage and might not be particularly happy, she was still willing to stay in it due to the past memories she shared with Henry.

As long as Henry didn’t do anything wrong, she would never leave him.

The epiphany caused Robert’s eyes to darken.

He took a seat two chairs away from Crystal. With a stroke of luck, the two guests between them went off to answer their respective calls. Robert seized upon the opportunity to move closer, resulting in Crystal being flanked by him on one side and Henry on the other.
