Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Good Sport

Crystal's tone was exceptionally calm when she spoke. "Did you have fun?"

Henry took off his coat, casually threw it on the couch, and walked up to her. He regarded her intently while fiddling with the glass of red wine on the bar. +10 pearl's

Crystal usually didn't drink liquor and led a highly disciplined lifestyle. When she did consurge liquor, that meant she was in a bad mood. As for the reason behind her action, Henry guessed he was the culprit He asked hoarsely, "Are you upset?"

Crystal didn't respond, not wanting to lie but also refusing to divulge the truth.

And so, a prolonged silence ensued.

Henry smiled faintly. "Crystal, when we first got together, we made it very clear that we'd enjoy some time together, and after we got tired of each other, we'd part ways with no hard feelings. What's all this nov She glanced up at him and asked, "Henry, are you tired of me now?"

Being no fool, Henry grasped her intention immediately after hearing her words and understood. she wanted to end things between them. Is it because of Audrey?

In one swift motion, Henry lifted Crystal and placed her on the piano, causing a low note to reverberate.

She struggled to break free, feeling too self-conscious of her current appearance. He's simply toying with me.

She wore only a black silk bathrobe, to begin with. Her struggling resulted in the loosening of the garment and the exposing of her

enticing figure. The sight of her fair, supple skin caused a lump to form in Henry's throat.

He gulped and leaned forward to whisper beside her ear, "Are you that bothered by Audrey's existence? Miss Winters, are you being a sore loser?"

Crystal was momentarily dazed.

The veins around her fair temples throbbed, but she managed to suppress her exasperation.

She slowly lifted her gaze and parted her red lips to speak. "Henry, why don't you tell me what it means to be a good sport, then?"

Without waiting for him to reply, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, scaling his lips with hers and kissing him in a gentle yet passionate manner.

Henry shuddered. She has never done this before....

He enjoyed engaging in intimate activities with her in the first place. At that moment, her actions were stirring his desires like never before, causing him to forget all about their argument and indulge solely in re Various notes echoed as their bodies' motions repeatedly pressed down on the piano keys.

"Mr. Miller, am I being a good sport now?" Crystal questioned him in a particularly composed

voice.

Henry looked up and stared intently at her.

Beaming at him, she said, "I apologize, Mr. Miller. I overstepped my bounds tonight. I'll be more mindful in the future." She paused briefly before adding sarcastically, "I will keep up

with your pace at all times and strive to be a good sport."

Hearing that, he narrowed his eyes while caressing her checks.

At that moment, inexplicable emotions churned within him.

He hoped she would be sensible and abide by their agreement, yet, at the same time, he couldn't help but be reminded of the heartfelt and longing eye contact she shared with Robert earlier during the day aft Henry chuckled coldly.

He bore down on her, looking determined to have her, and even made up his mind to try out all the techniques and positions he was reluctant to use in the past on her that night.

Crystal allowed him to kiss her for some time before uttering indifferently. "It's that time of the month for me."

"What did you say?"

"I'm on my period, Henry."

He paused and gazed at her. His handsome face was slightly flushed, his breathing erratic. Perhaps overwhelmed by lust, he incredulously pulled her into his embrace and reached down to check. "Henry! Henry, you scoundrel!"

He let go of her and sat on the stool.

Then, he lit a cigarette and puffed on it gloomily.

Crystal adjusted her bathrobe.

Her body was still trembling, though she was unsure if it was because of arousal or anger.

Henry held the cigarette between his fingers, slowly taking long drags and exhaling-

Soon, a thin layer of smoke lingered in the air between them, obscuring their faces.

Flicking the cigarette ash, he chuckled and stated, "Crystal, I'm not bored of you yet. I'm still quite fond of your body."

She smiled faintly in response. Audrey sure is influential. Henry can't even be bothered to keep up his pretense as soon as she returns. He had the patience to coar me previously, but now, he's blatantly telling Crystal was tired and didn't want to tangle with him further. She asked solemnly, "Can I go sleep now?"

Henry flashed a smile unique to mature men, holding his cigarette with one hand while gently stroking her face with the other.

Only after he had his fill of fun did he utter in a hoarse voice, "Sure."

Crystal knew their relationship had hit rock bottom in just that short half-hour, but she didn't care much about it.

Henry wasn't a man she could control, and since it was impossible for them to be together, Crystal figured it would be best for her to prioritize her well-being.

She would play along with him until he got tired of her.

As for Audrey, she was the least of Crystal's concerns. After all, Audrey was Henry's old lover, not Crystal's.

That night, Crystal slept soundly.

Henry didn't return to the master bedroom to rest. Crystal guessed he was sitting in the study, reminiscing about his first love again. She preferred it that way, too, since he wouldn't bother her. Nevertheless, she fathomed her relationship with Henry wouldn't end unless he said so.

In the following days, Henry appeared to be very busy.

He rarely came home to have his meals and didn't even return home at night occasionally.

Crystal never called to ask, either. They were like strangers living under the same roof. The affection they had once shared had entirely dissipated. At times, Crystal even wondered if the closeness they share She didn't interfere with his personal life as she was quite busy herself.

The preliminary work for the music center was almost done. Crystal and Eanelia had selected an auspicious day and were just waiting for the official opening day of their business.

One day, on the way home from the music center, Crystal received a call from Madison. However, the latter hesitated to speak.

"Did Zachary bully you again?" Crystal was worried about her friend.

Madison instantly exploded with rage and yelled. "Zachary is a good-for-nothing! I've given up on him long ago! You, on the other hand, why didn't you keep a close watch on your man?" Crystal felt a subtle flutter in her heart and revealed a tender smile. "What's going on?"

Unable to contain herself, Madison blurted out everything she had in mind, "Audrey has been tagging along with Henry to attend a few of his business gatherings lately. That's not all! Audrey also followed him on a business trip to Hawen! It's hard for me to explain it clearly... You'll understand everything once you read the newspaper, Crystal."

Upon hearing that, Crystal fell into a daze. Oh.... Henry went on a business trip to Hawen. I didn't even know that. Is it because our relationship has deteriorated to such

an extent or that he has been so busy that he didn't even inform me about it?

She flashed a faint smile and came clean to Madison. That's just the way our relationship is. I don't care, nor will I stop him from hanging out with who he wants or whether he commits. adultery." Madison was stunned. She fell silent for a long while before responding, "D"mn! You're so open-minded. Crystal!"

Crystal was even in the mood to joke about it. "Well, I learned all these from Mr. Miller."
