Crystal's One Night of Love

Henry sent Crystal back home.

He was reluctant to go to the company because he wanted to accompany her, but she wouldn’t let him.

“It’s not something new. You should go to the company!”

After Henry carried Crystal to the sofa and turned up the heating, he finally relaxed. Having figured out that there was good news, the household servants congratulated Henry simultaneously.

In turn, Henry generously distributed monetary gifts to them.

On a warm winter day, Crystal held a cup of hot milk and watched Henry instruct the servants outside. When he walked to the parking lot and opened the car door, he absentmindedly turned back and met Crystal’s gaze.

Although they said nothing, he was happy and contented with the thought that she was pregnant with his child.

In the evening, Henry picked up Skyler and Christopher. When they reached the house, Christopher got out first and helped Skyler down.

Henry closed the car door and watched in silence.

After a moment, he followed the two children into the hall.

The hall was filled with various precious tonics and gifts. Crystal was busy counting them and instructing the servants to store them.

As Henry took off his coat, he casually asked, “Did many people visit?”

Crystal shook her head. “It was just my parents and Melora! They brought a lot of gifts.”

After pausing for a while, she continued, “Let’s not announce the news of my pregnancy first to avoid. people from swarming here.”

Seeing her obedient appearance, Henry couldn’t help but reach around her waist from behind. “Mrs. Miller, you’re right. Pregnant women shouldn’t overexert themselves,” he agreed gently.

Crystal felt somewhat uncomfortable because Henry didn’t seem to mind that three children were at home.

What if they mimic his behavior?

Smiling, Henry walked over to hug Remi. The little boy was growing up so well. His skin was so fair and tender.

Maybe we should have another daughter! A girl who has Crystal’s looks and her personality.

Skyler looked at Henry and then at Crystal. She probably guessed what was going on, so she ran over. gently touched her mother’s belly, and kissed it very carefully.

Crystal lowered her head and stroked Skyler’s curly brown hair.

Skyler beckoned at Christopher with her chubby hand, “Come over, Christopher!”

Christopher moved over slowly.

Skyler let him touch Crystal’s belly. Then, she whispered to him, “You’re going to be a big brother, Christopher. Are you happy?”

As Christopher leaned against Crystal’s belly, Crystal caressed his head.

Christopher smiled, but there were tears in his eyes. His parents had been arguing constantly since he could remember, and he lost his mother at a very young age. To be cared for by a mother-like figure had been a long-lost memory for him.

He had never told anyone that the thing he looked forward to the most every holiday was Henry coming. to pick him up and letting him stay at the Miller residence for a few days.

Crystal felt very sympathetic toward him.

She bent down and gave him a kiss. “Christopher, you can call me ‘Mommy” too,” she said softly.

However, Christopher was a shy seven-year-old kid.

His little face turned slightly red.

Crystal didn’t force it. She always respected the children’s wishes. She intended to prepare dinner for the children at night but was ordered to rest by Henry. She sighed helplessly, “It’s just pregnancy. I’m not that fragile!”

Wrapping his arm around her waist, Henry whispered, “I don’t know about the others, but I’m experiencing this for the first time! Rest, I’ll take care of dinner!”

His culinary skills were not as good as Crystal’s, but he had fun cooking with the two kids.

At night, Crystal got hungry.

Turning over, she snuggled up to Henry and looked at him expectantly.

Henry woke up and looked at her. His voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up. “What time is it? Is my wife hungry?”

It was warm under the blanket, and if it were a normal day, Crystal wouldn’t want him to get up and fuss. around. However, being pregnant with this child didn’t make her feel nauseous or uncomfortable. Instead, her appetite was very good.
