Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck.
Despite being overwhelmed by her desire, she still broke into tears.
Henry, are you really back? Do you recall the memories we shared, both happy and sad?
Henry’s heart melted at the sight.
“Stop crying.”
He spoke in a tender voice as if he was consoling a little girl. “Crystal, I’m back. I’m truly, truly back.”
Mixed within his clation was an intense bitterness.
He hugged her tightly, feeling as if they had just survived a brutal battle.
His heart shattered while they lingered in each others’ embrace.
With her head resting on his shoulders, tears streamed slowly down her cheeks.
Henry pulled over the blanket and wrapped it around her before hugging her tightly in his arms.
Amidst the quiet night, Crystal murmured, “Henry, it feels as if this is all a dream, albeit a long and. painful one.”
Henry planted a kiss on her shoulder. “I’ll never leave you again, I swear.”
The development was supposed to be a joyous one, yet she couldn’t help but feel depressed.
Perhaps he has chosen to do this on Christmas, knowing that I couldn’t resist crying.
In spite of their exhaustion, neither of them wanted to go to sleep.
They had no desire to mention their enemies and only talked about happy events.
“Do you still remember the Christmas when you made up with Ritchie?” Henry recounted softly, “As if I was driven mad, I followed both of you on your date and watched you. The sight of him kissing your forehead underneath the fireworks filled me with raging jealousy.”
Crystal naturally did.
Stroking his chiseled face, she said, “Didn’t we agree not to bring up those matters?”
Henry’s gaze deepened as he took a leaf out of Crystal’s book, running his fingers across every inch of her face.
