Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 344 Who Is More Attractive 2 

When they were on their way back, the street lights had already been switched on.

Crystal weakly leaned back in the seat. When she thought about how they had neglected their children to do those passionate activities, her face flushed.

Once in a while, Henry would turn to look at her.

He found her pretty when she blushed.

Right then, the phone in the glove compartment rang. He picked up the call.

It was Leslie.

Leslie gave him a quick greeting before diving into the main topic. “Henry, I don’t know where Miss Dynah received the news from, but she managed to find out about Mr. Lodge and is trying to find a way to meet him.”

Henry asked, “What’s Uncle Alfred’s response?”

With a smile on his lips, Leslie replied, “Mr. Lodge says to wait and see what happens. The coal mining business owners all have dirty secrets, but we’ll have to work our way into their systems before we can get any evidence of their deeds and get rid of them once and for all. Otherwise, our attacks will only be as harmful as an ant’s bite.”

Although Leslie was smiling as he spoke, Henry could tell how vicious Leslie and Alfred were.

Alfred had always been one to clean up a mess properly.

“I’ll leave this to Uncle Alfred, then. Hmm? Berthold? Sure. I’ll ask Crystal to bring him over tomorrow.”

Henry ended the call.

He did not mention Clementine, for Clementine was truly an individual Henry could not talk about.

“Uncle Alfred misses Berthold. You bring him to the hotel tomorrow.”

Crystal hummed in response.

Henry glanced at her a few more times before clearing his throat. “Are you still mad?”

Crystal turned away from him awkwardly.

Henry did not force her to speak. He only held her hand before asking her, “Crystal, you were rather enthusiastic today. Was it because of the wine, or was it because we were in the condominium unit?”

If it was because of the condominium unit, he would make their visits there more frequent.

Crystal was a bit mortified.

Henry chuckled in response.

He thought that it should have been easy for his former self to like Crystal.

She was quite the troublemaker.

The had to pull many strings before she managed to get in contact with Alfred.

It took her an equal amount of effort to finally get to speak to Alfred’s secretary. Anxiously, she asked Leslie, “Could you please ask Mr. Lodge again if he’s free to meet me?”

Leslie smiled. “Mr. Lodge will be dealing with private matters today, so he won’t be meeting anyone.”
