Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal was stunned.

Smiling, George said, “The world is unpredictable. Nobody knows what tomorrow may hold, so why not. live freely?”

She knew he was a profound person, and she nodded earnestly.

Taking a keen interest in Remi, George patted the boy’s head for some time. Unlike his parents, this child will live a life full of blessings and wisdom.

While on the drive home, Henry glanced at his wife through the rearview mirror. Remi sat in the child’s car seat while she patiently showed him a picture book. Despite not fully understanding the story, the little boy laughed so happily that one could see his small, pearly white teeth. He looked very adorable.

Upon reaching the next intersection, Henry checked the time and saw it was almost time to pick up Skyler. “Shall we eat at a restaurant after picking up Skyler?”

They had been getting along well recently, so she did not want to be a wet blanket. She hummed in acknowledgment and said softly, “Let’s bring Christopher along too. I heard from Skyler that things have been quite bad at Christopher’s house, and that’s not good for a child’s development.”

He looked at her in the rearview mirror with a smile. “If you’re really worried, why don’t we let him stay with us? Skyler will also have someone to play with.”

She was rather taken aback by his response.

“I can see that you’re quite fond of him,” he added as he turned the steering wheel.

She neither agreed to nor rejected his suggestion. For something like this, not only does Christopher have to be willing, but we also have to see what his mother thinks. We can’t possibly snatch someone else’s son away just like that!

Upon arriving at kindergarten, they were surprised to see a woman in her early thirties holding Christopher’s hand. The woman was apparently his aunt.

Since the Millers and the Zieglers shared a unique relationship, Henry and Crystal got out of the car and went to speak to her.

Christopher’s aunt had tears in her eyes as she said in a low voice, “His mother couldn’t take it anymore and jumped to her death. Her body is now at a funeral home. Thank you for the care you’ve shown Christopher these past two years. I’ll be taking him to live in Quadfield from now on. It may be a small city, but it’s quite a nice place.”

After that, she told Christopher to bid them farewell. Having to bear the pain of losing his mother, the boy inevitably looked dispirited as he said, “Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Miller.”-

Unable to bear saying goodbye, Skyler took his hand and looked up at her father. Crystal also turned to Henry silently.

Henry crouched down, stroked Christopher’s head, and said in a gentle tone, “Mrs. Miller was just talking about having you live with us. Would you like that? You’ll have Skyler and Remi there, and there may be more younger brothers or sisters in the future. It’ll be very lively.”

Christopher’s aunt looked shocked. It had never crossed her mind that Henry and Crystal would be willing to take Christopher in.

Although she was reluctant to part with him, she knew deep down that with her capabilities, she could only ensure Christopher was fed and clothed. Anything more than that was too far of a stretch. However, the Miller family will be able to provide him with a top-notch education and the best start in life.

Nonetheless, she remained quiet, allowing the boy to make his own decision.

Christopher looked at Henry, then at Crystal. After a long pause, he finally asked quietly, “Will you get divorced?”

Henry patted his head and replied calmly. “I’ll sleep on the couch with you and Remi if Mrs. Miller gets angry, but let’s not make it a habit of stirring her anger, okay?”

In a choked voice, Christopher agreeil.

His aunt also started crying and kept saying, “You’re such a good person, Mr. Miller!”

Henry gave a faint smile. I’m not a good person. It’s just because Crystal and Skyler are fond of Christopher.
