Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 349 Robert Is Dead 1 

It was already close to midnight when Henry arrived home.

The house was quiet, illuminated only by a lamp in the living room.

After checking on the kids upstairs, he loosened his tie and went into the master bedroom. Crystal was already asleep. The room was dimly lit by the moonlight.

Henry stood by the end of the bed and eyed her for a moment before stepping into the shower.

He took off his jacket and shirt, which were saturated with the scent of tobacco and alcohol, and discarded. them into the laundry basket.

After showering, he slid into bed behind Crystal.

Her breathing was even, but Henry knew she was awake. She was pretending to be asleep to avoid conversation.

“Aren’t you going to ask me?” Henry whispered, kissing the nape of her neck.

Crystal stiffened but remained silent,

Annoyed by the comments he had heard tonight and thinking about her insinuations for him to look for younger women, he pulled her slender waist closer to him, sealing their bodies together in tense intimacy.

Their lovemaking was silent but heavy with unspoken words, like a hushed tempest.

That was a first for both of them.

Henry did not forget to take the necessary precautions. When it was over, Crystal did not shower. She simply remained there on her side as she dozed off to sleep.

Henry tossed back the covers and left the bed.

As he showered, thoughts swirled in his mind. How did we become like this?

She had given nothing away. The supposed intimate moment had soured his mood instead.

In the morning. Crystal stayed in to do household chores.

She bagged up Henry’s clothes from the previous night, intending to send them off for dry cleaning. Lifting his shirt, she caught a faint whiff of perfume-something a young woman would wear.

Crystal was stunned.

Returning late last night and deliberately letting a woman get near him-was this his method of retaliation or a declaration of war?

As she examined the garments, she found no lipstick marks but discovered a fragrant business card in the pocket of his coat.

Geant Corporation, Saige Carr.

After half an hour, Saige’s information was laid out before her.

Twenty-one years old, up-and-coming star, young and talented actress.

Crystal clutched the photo of the starlet in her hand.

Saige looked like a younger version of her, albeit with evident signs of plastic surgery. It went without saying that Saige was targeting Henry,

Perhaps Henry was not unaware when Saige slipped her name card into his pocket and had deliberately left it in his pocket to ascertain Crystal’s attitude in the matter.
