Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal gazed at Clementine, whose expression betrayed her.

There was no evidence, so Crystal wasn’t about to waste her time. She merely said, “Clementine, you have never loved him. You only love yourself.”

To Clementine, Robert was just a toy out of her reach.

Her feelings for him were twisted.

With that, Crystal spun on her heels and left.

She moved with a slow and deliberate pace, leaning on Edith for support. Despite the circumstances, she remained composed and unaffected.

Clementine was overwhelmed with jealousy.

Crystal possessed immense power, wealth, and the affection of numerous devoted admirers.

If it weren’t for Sylvester, she might have perished that day. Without her presence, Clementine was certain her life would undoubtedly improve!

Back at Seeas Corporation, Henry completed the stack of paperwork and stood by the window, holding a cup of coffee.

He gazed out of the window at the white sky, which indicated that snowfall was imminent.

Behind him, Jamie reported, “Crystal went to the graveyard, but she is now back at the hospital.”

Henry’s grip on the cup tightened, but he said nothing.

It began to snow outside.

Christmas was approaching, and their family would have the chance to celebrate together. Yet, in light of recent events, including that dream, Henry couldn’t help but suspect that Crystal still held complex and unresolved emotions.

Henry could understand her feelings.

There was good news that she was unaware of, though,

He had already regained his memories.

The following day, Crystal was discharged from the hospital.

The Miller family initially wanted to celebrate it by holding a banquet, but since Crystal was pregnant, they decided to just celebrate it at home.

Downstairs, the lamb stew had been prepared and filled the air with a mouthwatering aroma that had the children eagerly eyeing it. Henry gathered the kids and had them sit in their chairs while he went upstairs to invite Crystal to join them.

The living space on the second floor was well-heated.

Crystal was reading a parenting book on the couch comfortably.

Henry stood at the door, watching her silently.

She was dressed in a pink oversized sweater and a floral skirt. While she didn’t appear visibly pregnant, he attire accentuated her womanly figure.

They had been intimate back at the hospital, but it wasn’t the same as doing it back home.

Henry approached her and bent down to kiss her earlobe. He teased her, “You’ve given birth twice, so why are you still reading this?”
