Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Daughter Of Joshua

Crystal felt as though she was floating above the water, completely immersed in a new and exhilarating experience. The passion and intensity that Henry brought to their encounter turned her world upside down, leaving her craving for more.

After turning on the lights, he leaned in to kiss her, his gaze fixed on her blushing face. "You look absolutely stunning, Crystal. Would you like to see it?" he whispered.

Crystal continued to shield her eyes, refusing to look.

Henry swiftly carried her to the bathroom in the master bedroom, and in a moment of passion, Crystal leaned in and forcefully bit his shoulder.

After gently placing her in front of the sink, Henry placed his hands on her slender waist and gazed at her reflection in the mirror, admiring the alluring sight before him.

"Your face is now redder compared to before," whispered Henry next to her ear.

She wanted to escape, but just as she turned around, he spun her back toward the mirror.

The man gently pressed his fingers on her tender cheeks, guiding her gaze toward the mirror.

Crystal was aware of her disheveled state at that moment. Though her clothes remained tidy, her mind was still in disarray from Henry's performance.

I know he doesn't fool around with women, but he always belongs to that circle. I suspect he knows about women better than Charles and the others. Is he performing better than most in other aspects because he's a remarkable man doing an excellent job as a lawyer?

She closed her eyes and pleaded, "Don't be like this, Henry!"

Feeling a mix of emotions, Henry held her tightly, his gaze fixed on their reflection in the mirror. With a tender touch, he smoothed out her skirt and spoke in an impatient tone. "Don't go back home. I won't push you further. Let's spend the night together.

They needed to spend time with their families on Christmas, so he wanted her to stay the night.

Crystal took a deep breath, allowing herself to calm down. She opened her eyes slowly, feeling a slight warmth spreading through her cheeks. Tonight feels like the melting of the winter snow. It's hard for any woman to resist his romantic gestures, but I don't want our relationship to rush ahead too quickly.

She hesitated before replying, "I think I should return."

While Henry was somewhat disappointed, he still respected her decision. Softly, he requested, "Stay with me for a little longer. I want you by my side, Crystal."

Crystal felt her cheeks burning upon hearing that.

When she left, the redness had spread to her neck. I have a feeling the techniques he employed while we were living together were child's play and that he had never been serious before.

Late at night, Henry drove the gold Bentley Continental into Crystal's residential area.

When the car came to a halt, he took a quick glance at the time. "It's already three in the morning. Should I spend the night at your place, Crystal?"

Henry refused to release her as he kept hugging her in the vehicle.

It was a touching hug.

Moments later, Crystal uttered softly, "I'm heading upstairs now, Henry."

He lowered his gaze, which was tinged with lust, at her. "Will you move back to my place after Christmas?"

Crystal was stunned for a moment before she rose from his embrace. I know tonight has been rather erotic, which is why he's making that request. Honestly, I don't blame him. I was the one who didn't explain things clearly.

After running her slender fingers through her hair, Crystal contemplated the situation and spoke thoughtfully. "Don't you think we're doing fine as we are, Henry? If you desire intimacy, I can fulfill that for you. But as for other aspects of our relationship... let's discuss them in due time."

Henry's expression turned solemn as he reflected on his past experiences.

He had always been the one pursued by women, and he had grown accustomed to that dynamic. However, this was his first time genuinely courting a woman and putting her needs before his own. He had strived to please her intimately that night, wanting to provide her with a memorable experience.

Sitting upright, Henry placed his hands firmly on the steering wheel. "Am I lacking in that aspect? What I truly desire is a genuine and proper romance, Crystal."

Crystal remained silent. I can't trust him completely. Even if Audrey is married, I still feel uneasy. Besides, I don't think it's wrong for me to protect myself.

Fury ignited in his eyes as he spoke harshly, his words laced with bitterness. "You weren't this cold when I was bringing you pleasure, Crystal! Are you trying to discard me now that you've had your fun?" Pinching her cheek, he continued, "Should I remind you that-"

Crystal slapped his hand away fearlessly. "I didn't ask for it! You did it on your own accord!"

In response, Henry peered at her.

If this conversation continues, it won't end happily. I need to leave now. With that thought in mind, Crystal pushed the door open and got out of the vehicle.

Just as she tried to pull away, Henry gently pulled her back into his embrace, his voice filled with remorse as he whispered near her ear, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too impatient. I truly want to be with you, Crystal, not just as friends with benefits."

While he didn't want to get married, Crystal did.

He wanted to keep living together with her, and if no major conflict sparked between them, he would be willing to wed her. After all, she was a good match for him.

Thus, he didn't want to let her go.

Unfortunately for Henry, his attempt at coaxing Crystal failed, and she remained steadfast in her decision to leave.

Henry hugged her forcefully, disallowing her to slip away.

In the end, he pressed his hand on her small head and smirked. "Are you going to ignore me after you had your fun? Who do you think is toying with whose feelings, Crystal?"

Crystal was so furious that her veins were bulging on her forehead. Amusingly, Henry found it attractive and pecked her bulging vein.

He refused to let her leave, no matter how much she struggled.

As such, he spent the night with her in the vehicle.

Despair flooded her heart because she couldn't resist his charm. Just a little effort from him was enough to make her surrender. However, she refused to admit it.

When the sun rose, Crystal awoke from her slumber, only to replace herself nestled in the man's embrace.

His phone kept ringing, but he seemed tired and didn't wake up.

In response, Crystal gave him a gentle nudge him. "Your phone's ringing, Henry."

When he was roused, he aimed his captivating eyes at her before planting a kiss on her supple lips.

"You have... a call." Crystal panted. I can't help but wonder if he's always so eager to kiss me because he hasn't met a woman for cons. Still, I'll be lying if I say I don't feel anything when he keeps desiring my body.

Smiling, Henry released her.

He was prepared to accept the call when he saw the name of the caller and hung up.

Crystal was shocked before she realized what had happened. Audrey called him.

Wordlessly, she tried leaving the car. However, Henry pulled her back and locked her in his arms. "I've no relationship with her, Crystal! She's married."

Crystal gave a slight hum in acknowledgment. He may not have anything to do with Audrey anymore, but Audrey's still clinging to him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him so early in the morning on the third day of her new marriage. Is she that eager to contact her first love?

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Brundela, Audrey was wearing a sexy nightgown while sitting in her room.

She could hear the amorous giggles of a man and woman coming from downstairs.

While she was aware of her husband's extramarital affair with the housekeeper, she ignored it because she never liked him.

A cold look swirled in Audrey's eyes as she stared at the letter in her hand.

It was delivered from Barnwood by a successful jeweler who was temporarily awake after being treated. He delivered the information Joshua wished to know with a letter.

Joshua had been attempting to locate his biological daughter, and that jeweler had found the lead he was looking for.

The letter included a picture of someone Audrey was very familiar with-Crystal.
