Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 225

Chapter 225 She Is My Mommy

Henry returned to the mansion.

This area was developed by Secas Corporation. As the security and privacy were top-notch. Henry kept one for himself.

The black Maybach slowly drove through the black carved gate. As the car entered, all the lights in the garden lit up, and the music fountain started spraying water, creating a joyful atmosphere. Henry had just parked the car and got out when his housekeeper came over.

"Skyler is not talking again," the housekeeper reported.

Henry handed her his coat and walked toward a laurel tree.

Skyler was closing herself off.

Henry squatted down next to her and looked at her lovingly.

Her slightly curly brown hair cascaded down her shoulders.

She had a petite face, a prominent nose bridge, and large ebony eyes. She was sulking at the moment as she plucked the leaves off the tree.

Henry talked to her, but she ignored him.

She was completely immersed in her own world.

Henry did not pick her up and bring her inside. He just squatted beside her and kept her company. At half-past ten, the little girl suddenly threw herself into his arms. "Some kids said I don't have a mommy today."

Henry held her and took her inside the house.

He patted her head and comforted her. "You do have a mommy. Your mommy is a little fairy like you."

He put the little girl in a seat in front of the dining table.

The housekeeper immediately served the piping hot dishes. She was worried sick about her.

Skyler was very hungry. She held the bowl with one hand and a spoon with the other as she fed herself. After finishing her meal, she looked at Henry and said, "I want Mommy! Other kids have one, and I want

one too!"

Henry carried Skyler upstairs.

Skyler filled the bathtub herself, and after her bath, she nestled in her father's arms, all fresh and clean. Henry dried her hair and said affectionately, "Skyler, if you want a mommy, you must fight for it." Skyler felt something was not right.

If she had to replace her mother herself, then what did she need her father for?

Henry calmly said, "I'm sending you for piano lessons. There are many beautiful teachers in the musc center. You are looking for someone who is beautiful and has the same hair color as yours. However, you can't tell her that your name is Skyler, and you can't mention my name either."

Skyler could not understand.

Henry gave her a reasonable explanation. "If she knew who your daddy was, she might be more attracted to my looks instead of liking you genuinely, just like Miss Johnson and Miss Wall!" Skyler agreed with her father.

Before she went to bed at night, she looked at herself in the mirror. Someone who is as pretty as a fairy and has brown hair is my mommy!

Crystal did not actually teach anymore.

However, Emelia called her early in the morning, asking for a favor. A child of her friend needed her

attention.

When Crystal was about to ask for more details, Emelia just laughed it off.

"I need to take my medicine. Bye!" Then the call ended.

Crystal was stuck with no options. After she thought about it, she decided to go to the music center.

She checked with the receptionist of the music center and confirmed there was such a person, but the child's identity was confidential.

Crystal thought it might be the child of someone important, so she waited.

At five o'clock sharp in the afternoon, the receptionist approached Crystal with a smile.

"Miss Winters, the child has arrived!"

Crystal put down the reports in her hands and walked toward the reception room.

The child came with a housekeeper. To Crystal's surprise, the child was so tiny, not even a meter tall.

Crystal wanted to turn the child away because the child was too young for piano lessons. However, when the child turned around, Crystal froze. She has brown hair and fair skin. She's unbelievably beautiful!

She looks... very much like...

Crystal felt her throat tighten, and she almost lost her composure. She reached out with a trembling hand and gently touched the little girl. Skyler was more excited than Crystal. She stared at her brown hair, pretty face, waist, and legs.

She's so beautiful! She's my perfect mommy!

Skyler allowed Crystal to touch her.

She even snuggled in Crystal's arms and rested her chin on Crystal's shoulder.

"My name is Sky"

Crystal was stunned.

She felt a warm fondness for her. Despite her excitement, she still had to go through the formalities. "What's your daddy's name?"

Tears welled up in Skyler's beautiful eyes.

"My daddy sells hotdogs, and people call him a swindler! My mommy is gone, and my daddy is very busy. I have no one to take care of me."

With a few words, her image of a pitiful child was established.

Crystal felt sorry for her.

She wiped away Skyler's tears and could not resist kissing her. As her heart softened, she also felt a sense of guilt as if she was taking something that did not belong to her. But without hesitation, she decided to teach Skyler.

The little girl was too tiny. She had to sit on Crystal's lap in front of the piano.

She enjoyed being in Crystal's arms. She was so happy that she did not listen to a single word.

Crystal was a strict teacher.

She had Skyler repeat what she had just taught her.

"Okay," Skyler obediently replied.

Her slender fingers danced effortlessly on the piano keys.

Crystal was shocked to the core.

That child was so talented, and it was beyond her expectation. She was the best student she had ever taught, even better than herself when she was young. Skyler turned around and looked up at Crystal right then. "Miss Winters, am I doing it right?"

Miss Winters...

For some reason, Crystal suddenly thought of Henry,

He used to tease her by calling her Miss Winters when they just met.

Crystal shook her head and stopped herself from overthinking.

How could I think that Sky had anything to do with Henry? Our child is....

Crystal did not dare to keep digging into her memory. She kept Skyler on her lap and continued to teach. her some basic fingering rules.

Skyler was satisfied. The piano lesson was boring, but she was one step closer to her goal.

Crystal walked her out of the studio and handed her over to the housekeeper.

She was reluctant to part with the girl. "I'll see you again next Friday, Sky"

Skyler was very fond of Crystal.

She was well-behaved as she followed the housekeeper downstairs.

Crystal was very fond of Skyler too. She walked them downstairs and saw a black limousine. Skyler got into the car, wanting to bring her new mommy home instantly. However, she knew Crystal might not be willing to follow her home.

She could only take it slow.

She waved her little hand and the driver closed the door.

Henry was sitting at the other end of the backseat. While flipping through his documents, he pretended to be indifferent as he asked, "Did you replace her?"

Skyler climbed onto Henry's lap and said in a piping voice, "Daddy, you like her!"

"What? Is it that obvious?"

Skyler stopped speaking.

She leaned on her father's shoulder quietly and, after a long while, asked, "Daddy... she is my mommy, isn't she?"

"Mm." Henry's eyes became moist.

Skyler nestled in his arms, and a long time later she heard Henry say, "Let's not scare Mommy away first, okay?"
