Crystal's One Night of Love

Henry took his coat off and hung it up before walking inside.

Crystal stared at him.

His every action was a sight to behold.

Henry walked over and massaged her shoulders gently. He said nonchalantly, “You like it, right? Sit down. and have a go.”

Crystal felt rather taken aback.

There was a long, beautiful history behind the piano and it was a rare treasure.

She had wanted to see it for a long time.

She pressed her lips together and sat down in front of the piano. Her long, delicate fingers rested on the keys. Suddenly, Henry asked, “Can you play Moonlight Lovers?”

Crystal looked at him with glistening eyes.

Her heart skipped yet another beat.

There it is again! Why do I keep feeling like that? He seems to know everything about me. Did he run a background check on me?

Henry looked at her intently.

He was reminded of Skyler whenever Crystal showed her gentle yet angry side. He truly wanted to have her for his own

Crystal finally started playing the piano.

At that moment, her legs were not injured and she was playing in a lively, energetic manner.

Since George had helped him out before he began to dream, Henry managed to retain all of his memories.

He was Henry Miller whose memories remained intact.

Crystal’s performance touched his heart deeply. His eyes were even beginning to feel a little wet.

If he had dealt with Audrey better back then, Crystal wouldn’t have had to suffer so much. She wouldn’t have had so many regrets, nor would she have had to throw her dreams away. She might already have become a world-renowned pianist.

Sadly, it was useless to think of the past now that everything had already unfolded.

All he wanted now was to bring her home peacefully and safely.

Crystal finished playing and slowly lifted her hands off the ivory and ebony keys. She was in disbelief.

Her heart ached with how familiar the keys felt under her fingers.

Henry walked up behind her and placed his warm palms on her shoulders. He gently turned her to face him.

He was extremely careful and it was very clear that he didn’t want to offend her in any way.

Crystal didn’t know what was happening to her. She had been thinking of Robert every day and every night until just a few days ago. However, as of right now, all she could think about was the man right next to her.

She was extremely obedient.

Henry couldn’t control himself. He lowered his head so that he could whisper in her ear. “Do you know how much I missed you?”

Crystal froze.
