Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal froze.

She hurriedly logged into the campus website and found the picture of Henry kissing her on the front page.

My first kiss!

It rattled her.

After a prolonged stunned silence, she lifted the quilt and dashed out. He was still here even after I fell asleep!

It was silent in the living room.

Anna had returned from her grocery run and was busying herself in the kitchen when she heard the footsteps. “Breakfast is on the dining table, Crystal. Eat up and go to school.”

Crystal stood at the kitchen entrance.

She scratched her long, disheveled brown hair. “That guy last night isn’t my boyfriend, Madam Anna.”

Anna clearly did not believe her.

How did he come in if he wasn’t her boyfriend? He even played chess with John until one in the morning.

Crystal’s explanation did not make any sense.

She quickly washed up, then went back downstairs and had her breakfast. Anna sighed wistfully from behind her. “What a nice young man. I think he’s better than the fellow from the Sloan family.”

Crystal had Madison find out where Henry worked.

It was half past nine.

Although Adroit Law Firm had only been in business for a year, it was large enough to occupy the sixth to twelfth floors of the twenty-two-story building.

The receptionist was sweet and professional as she asked, “How can I help you, Miss?”

Crystal bit her lip. “I’m here to see Mr. Henry Miller.”

The receptionist smiled and dialed a number. “Hello, Jamie? There’s a lady here to see Mr. Miller. Is he available?”

The voice on the other end responded.

The receptionist glanced at Crystal and put down the phone. In a more pleasant tone, she said, “Are you Miss Winters? Mr. Miller is in. This way, please.”

Crystal was a little suspicious.

The receptionist led the way.

There was only one office on the twelfth floor of the building and a small conference room.

Henry was standing before the blinds in his office, gazing quietly at the view below. “Miss Winters is on her way over, Mr. Miller,” Jamie announced with a smile behind him.

Henry did not turn around. “Prepare a cup of Mandheling coffee and bring some snacks.”

Jamie froze. It appears that Miss Winters is somebody very important to him.

Without asking any further, Jamie tactfully took her leave.

After she left, Henry closed the blinds, and the office became much dimmer.

His expression was unfathomable.

Seeing the twenty-year-old Crystal again was pleasant, but in his dreams, he carried all his memories with him. He knew that Crystal was in a coma in the hospital and that she was carrying their third child in her belly.

He wanted to take Crystal home. He had to make Crystal his before Robert did.

Just as Henry was deep in thought, the office door opened, and Jamie ushered Crystal in. “Here you are, Ms. Winters,” she said as she set down the coffee and the snacks.

Then, she left and shut the heavy door gently behind her.

Crystal had many questions before she arrived. She had come brimming with indignity, but she somehow. lost her nerve when she got into this office. Perhaps the lights were too dim, and the man was clad in a black and white suit that made him look so elegant. Also the way he stared at her with those dark eyes did. not help matters.

Against her will, her knees buckled.

Henry sat down first..

Although the young woman before him was his beloved wife and they had done the most intimate thing. he could not intimidate her now. He must take his time to win her over.

He read the newspaper before him and asked nonchalantly, “Are you here because of our scandal?”

Crystal’s cheeks flushed red.

“What scandal? There’s nothing going on between us!”
