Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal could not help but burst into tears.

After all, she had been too passive in this relationship.

They had fought plenty of times, yet there were many times she compromised. Although she had feelings for him, she felt guilty, for Henry had only lost his memories because of her.

He sacrificed his life for her before, and that was why no matter what Lara did that annoyed Crystal, she could only choose to forgive him.

She had no other choice.

Bending down, she picked up the pills one by one and placed them back in the bottle.

There were a lot of tiny white pills.

So much so that she wondered if she could end everything if she swallowed them. Will I stop getting caught in a dilemma of whether or not I love Henry? Will I not have to face his criticisms anymore?

Nonetheless, their cold war did not affect the children.

-Crystal woke up early in the morning.

Just then, Henry stepped out of the opposite guest room in the same clothes he wore last night. When he saw the faint dark circles under Crystal’s eyes, he said softly, “I’ll send Skyler to school later.”

That simple sentence told her he intended to put up with it and carry on with life.

With a gentle hum of acknowledgment, Crystal went on to make breakfast for the children as usual.

During breakfast, Skyler asked for both her parents to send her to school in an adorable manner.

As Crystal lifted her gaze, she met Henry’s by accident.

He had taken a shower and dressed up in a suit. At that moment, there was dark look in his eyes.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Crystal was about to coax Skyler when Henry voiced, “Let’s go together. It’s a rare opportunity, anyway. I’ll send you home later.

Crystal was rather surprised, but she still responded with a nod.

After glancing between her parents, Skyler tugged at her mother’s hand. “Do you like the card Remi and I gave you, Mommy?”

“I love it!” chirped Crystal while planting a kiss on the little girl’s cheeks.

Crystal then pressed her cheek against Skyler’s, unwilling to let the latter go.

In the meantime, Henry watched the woman in silence.

After breakfast, Crystal headed upstairs to get changed. She chose a silk shirt and a fishtail skirt. Just as she had taken off her clothes and was about to get dressed, the door opened.

Henry was slightly taken aback, but he slowly shut the door.
