Crystal's One Night of Love

At twenty years old, Crystal radiated vitality. Her cheeks were plumper, and her legs were fairer and more slender than they were now. The shorts she wore accentuated the illusion of astonishingly long legs, and at faint pink hue graced the back of her knees.

Even her waist was thinner than he had imagined.

Despite being aware it was a dream, the vividness of the moment made Henry’s scalp tingle. His emotions. surged, and an overwhelming desire welled up within him to reach out and grab her hand, to stop her.

Crystal, it’s been seven days since I last spoke to you.

Crystal brushed past him.

Perhaps it was because of his exceptional looks or refined demeanor, but she couldn’t resist stealing another glance at Henry.

Henry stared at her intently, the corner of his lips curving into a slight smile.

Just then, someone called out. “Crystal!”

Madison sprinted over, with Zachary in close pursuit.

When Madison reached them, she studied Henry from head to toe before turning her gaze to Crystal, the look in her eyes inexplicable.

She recognized the man before her as an upstart in the legal community.

He has an outstanding background and a regal appearance. How exciting!

Crystal stopped in her tracks.

Zachary shot Henry a look of surprise. “What brings you to Barnwood’s Royal Academy of Music, Mr. Miller?”

However, the latter never took his eyes off Crystal, merely uttering slowly, “I came here to find a book in the library, but I don’t know how to get there.”

Zachary turned to Madison. “Why don’t we take Mr. Miller there?”

With a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, Madison held Zachary’s arm. “Let Crystal lead the way. She’s free anyway. Didn’t you say you’d take me out for ice cream?”

Zachary flashed a smile at Crystal, carrying himself with the air of a scion. “Well then, Crystal, would you mind escorting Mr. Miller over? He’s a friend of mine.”

Crystal shifted her gaze to Henry.

This man appears to be twenty-four years old and a lawyer. Why did he come to our music academy looking for a book?

Henry willingly allowed her to scrutinize him.

His dark eyes remained locked onto her as he flashed a faint grin. With a smooth, practiced motion, he retrieved a cigarette from his coat pocket, inclined his head, and ignited it. He took a drag with ag air of masculinity that exuded both coolness and dignity.

Crystal was mesmerized.

She used to think Robert was good-looking, but now she realized there was someone even more attractive. than him.

“Let’s go!” Henry gestured.

Instinctively, Crystal followed him, momentarily forgetting that even though he claimed not to know the way, he was indeed heading in the right direction.

Behind them, Zachary had his arms wrapped around Madison. She commented with a smile, “Zachary, there’s something peculiar about the way Mr. Miller looks at Crystal. It’s almost as if he’s gazing at his wife. His eyes have drifted down her legs more than once.”

Zachary gave her a light flick on the forehead.

“Impossible! Mr. Miller just recently split up with his girlfriend and is heartbroken. Although Crystal is attractive, she’s not his type. He’s very picky! The son of the richest family in Barnwood is never short of girlfriends!”

Madison, clearly displeased, snorted coldly. “Is his ex-girlfriend some sort of goddess in terms of beauty?”

Zachary quickly uttered an apology.

Crystal brought Henry to the library.

The twenty-year-old girl looked charming even without makeup, her lips adorned with a natural rosy hue, and her teeth gleaming pearly white.

She gazed at the attractive man and spoke in a soft tone, “Mr. Miller, please take your time browsing for the book you’re searching for. The library doesn’t close until nine in the evening.”

Without uttering a word in response, Henry walked silently to one of the library’s seats. He couldn’t help but recall this place-it was where he had seen Crystal sprawled across the table, being kissed by Robert back then.

Henry tenderly caressed the back of the chair with his slender fingers, his actions carrying a sense of gentleness, as though he were caressing a lover.

For some reason, it made Crystal blush.

Henry raised his gaze, his dark eyes locking onto hers as he spoke in a slightly raspy voice, “Could you for me, Crystal? I’m worried I might lose my way trying to find the exit after delving into these books.”

Crystal snickered inwardly. Is he a fool or what? Has the bar for becoming a lawyer really sunk so low these days?

However, considering that he was Zachary’s friend, she forced a smile. “All right, but I have to be home by eight”
