Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 380 Sweet Love 

It was late at night, and the mansion was silent.

Henry unbuttoned his clothes as he slowly walked up the stairs. The housekeepers were already asleep and only left one light switched on.

In the bedroom on the east side of the second floor, he gently pushed the door open and was greeted by a warm and inviting glow.

Crystal wasn’t asleep yet. Clad in thick pajamas, she was reading a script on the couch.

Henry gently closed the door.

“Are the kids asleep? Did they drink something warm before going to bed?”

Crystal put her script away and raised her head to look at him.

Henry approached her, intending to give her a kiss, but thought better of it. “Let me take a shower first,” he said in a low voice.

Crystal wanted to get up to prepare supper for him, but he stopped her from doing so.

“Stay here. I’ll cook some spaghetti myself later.”

With that, he went to take a shower..

After taking a shower, he sensed that the somber scent he had picked up from the rented house had dissipated somewhat. Feeling improved, he joined Crystal and settled beside her, sharing a tender embrace for a brief while.

As he had taken a shower, he was clad in trousers and a clean shirt.

Crystal knew him well enough. He would tense up whenever his thoughts were occupied.

She leaned on his shoulders and asked, “What happened?”

“It’s nothing,” Henry responded as he touched her cheek gently.

Henry proceeded downstairs to prepare some spaghetti and brought a plate back upstairs for Crystal. However, she wasn’t particularly hungry as she had indulged in some nutritious broth earlier and was also conscious of maintaining her figure. Despite her pregnancy, she couldn’t eat as freely as she wished.

Henry knew her well.

He felt better as he ate the plate of spaghetti beside her.

Crystal kept him company, observing his face under the lights. He would turn thirty-six after the New Year. Despite his age, he only bore a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, adding a touch of maturity to his appearance.

Crystal reached out to touch the corner of his eyes gently.

Henry paused briefly before he resumed eating his spaghetti. “Do you want to do it again? We just did it once in the evening

As he spoke, he caressed her bulging belly.

Crystal’s face burned, and her heart pounded wildly.

Though she initially intended to push him away, when her hand met his warm palm, she found herself unable to carry out her plan. Softly, she uttered, “Please, stop.”

Henry chuckled before finishing his spaghetti.

He cleared the mess before bringing Crystal to the couch, allowing her to lean against him while he gently combed her hair with his fingers.

It was a pleasant and comforting moment for both of them, and Crystal felt at ease.

Leaning against his shoulder, she whispered, “Henry, you’ve changed a lot!”

“In what way?”

“For example, you wouldn’t have eaten spaghetti here at the coffee table. You used to be pretty particular.”

Henry patted her cheek and flashed an affectionate smile.

Crystal buried her face in his chest, and after a prolonged silence, she mumbled, “Can you tell me now what happened?”

Henry hadn’t initially intended to divulge details about the dark events, but he knew they were connected, to her.
