Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 351 I Do Not Have Other Women 

Crystal returned to the mansion well past midnight.

The foyer was dimly lit, and Henry sat there, holding a glass of red wine.

Feeling exhausted, Crystal took off her coat and sat down beside him.

She spoke softly. “Henry, pour me a glass of wine.”

His dark eyes held a depth of emotion, but in the end, he poured her a glass and watched as she drank it down.

After finishing the wine, Crystal felt a warmth spreading through her body. She leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes and murmuring, “Now I understand how you feel. I understand why you kept helping Audrey and saving Lara time and again.”

The melancholy she felt was truly heart-wrenching.

Crystal slowly opened her eyes, her gaze shimmering.

She said, “Robert is dead, so you don’t have to be jealous anymore.”

With that, she made her way upstairs.

Henry remained seated, watching her figure ascend the staircase and disappear into the darkness.

Crystal retrieved the locket and stored it away.

Perhaps, when she opened the safe one day, she would think of Robert again.

Closing the safe’s door, she found Henry standing behind her.

She didn’t shy away, only said softly, “I’m a bit tired tonight.”

He didn’t say anything. Pressing her against the safe, he kissed her.

When the kiss ended, he rested his face against the nape of her neck, asking in a murmur, “Are you sad?”

“A little.”

Crystal turned her head slightly, her fingers caressing his handsome features. She spoke softly. “After he betrayed me, you and I met. Henry, because of me, you lost your memories. In the past, I always felt you. should be mine; you should regain your memory and return to my side. Now, I think you should be happy. If you like someone else, I really don’t mind, as long as she’s a decent girl… I’ll make way for her.”

Henry lightly nibbled her finger.

He didn’t argue with her but carried her to the bed. The sex was still silent, with not a word spoken. It was only an outlet for their pent-up frustrations.

Amidst the passion, Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck.

In a hoarse voice, she called out his name.

“Henry… Henry…”

He took her completely. When they were done, he lowered himself to her car and asked in a very gentle voice, “Crystal, do you still love me?”

The passion in the room cooled.

Lying flat, Crystal panted lightly. She turned her head to look at the night outside.

Up in the sky, the autumn rain dimmed the moon’s glow.

She thought of Robert and of his untimely passing. However, the man lying beside her, Henry, was warm and alive. She smiled faintly and said, “Yes.”

She spoke the truth.

Love could be rich and intense like liquor, but it could also flow gently like a pure, clear stream.

In the dim light, Henry gazed at her for a long time.

Finally, he gently pressed his body against hers and murmured, “Crystal… Don’t lie to me.”
