Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 254

Chapter 254 Cuddle Her

In the master bedroom, only a bedside lamp was lit, casting a dim yellow light over the

space.

The atmosphere was incredibly romantic and sensual.

Locked in a kiss in each other's arms, Henry and Crystal tumbled onto the foot of the bed. together.

It had been three years since they had last been intimate with one another. Henry was somewhat inept, while Crystal was a tad restrained.

However, her shyness rendered her all the more alluring.

Leaning close to her ear, Henry thoughtfully and tenderly coaxed her at first. Subsequently, he started losing control and allowed his nature to take over. Pleasure flooded them both time and again.

Without warning, the bedroom door swung open, revealing a little girl hugging a pillow and rubbing her eyes. "Daddy!"

Everything screeched to a standstill.

Henry arduously exhaled a breath and gazed down at Crystal.

Crystal's voice was hoarse and wobbly. "Cuddle her, Henry!"

Henry's gaze was dark, and his Adam's apple bobbed repeatedly. Ultimately, he put on his bathrobe before getting out of bed and scooping the little girl up. Skyler burrowed into her father's embrace.

She had a nightmare and had yet to wake fully. Perhaps she was scared, for she hooked her arms around Henry's neck and hugged him tightly.

Henry comforted her lovingly. Then, he shifted his eyes to the woman beside him and murmured in a gravelly voice, "Go and wash up. Otherwise, it'll be uncomfortable for you." Crystal's face burned slightly. He grabbed his shirt, put it on, slipped into the bathroom.

In the dimly lit master bedroom, Skyler whimpered softly in her father's arms.

Henry took a storybook from the bedside table and read it to her, his voice pleasant and husky. Slowly, Skyler quietened down.

That was precisely the scene that greeted Crystal when she stepped out of the bathroom.

Her heart inevitably softened.

Well, our reconciliation indeed has something to do with Skyler. He has sacrificed a lot for her. In the past, it would've been practically impossible for him to pause in the hustle and bustle of his busy life. After toweling her hair dry, she sat down on the edge of the bed. She stroked Skyler's head lightly and asked in a low voice, "Does she always wake up in the middle of the night?"

Henry placed the storybook aside.

The look in his eyes was dark and unfathomable.

A long moment later, he chuckled softly. "You're afraid she'd always barge in at the critical juncture?"

Crystal flushed bright red. "You know that wasn't what I meant, Henry!"

Henry's gaze remained fixed on her.

She had just taken a shower. Her skin was still tinged with a rosy shade left from their passionate encounter earlier, and she emanated a faint sense of sultriness. He was seized by the desire to carry on where they left off.

Seeing right through him, Crystal whispered, "Keep it for another time!"

A grin stretched Henry's face. "Come here and let me kiss you."

Crystal leaned over meekly.

Henry gave her a kiss.

The kiss was exceedingly tender and pure.

He did not allow her to leave but gathered her close to his other side. Shaking out the blanket, he draped it over them and turned off the light in the bedroom.

Crystal nestled in his arms without saying anything.

"Things will be better when Skyler's older," Henry said.

Crystal grunted lowly in acknowledgment before countering, "That wasn't what I meant!"

Henry caressed her lips in the darkness, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. "I haven't had my fill, Crystal. I know the same goes for you!"

They were young, both at the age when their libidos ran high. Neither could possibly remain. unaffected when interrupted during an intimate moment. Nonetheless, the fact that the sense of unfulfillment was courtesy of their daughter infused them with a hint of bliss.

A scarlet shade stained Crystal's cheeks. She could not help chiding. "No man is like you!"

He appears decent on the surface, but he's a downright rogue deep in his bones!

Henry snickered softly.

Leaning close to her ear, he purred, "You don't like it? I don't believe it, Crystal!"

Crystal went wholly silent.

She rested her head against his chest. Listening to the rhythmic pounding of his heartbeat, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

Early in the morning, she slowly opened her eyes.

Right before her was Henry's magnified handsome face mere inches away from her.

"You're awake?" He gently brushed his fingers across her delicate face. "There's half an hour before Skyler wakes up. Let's go to the bathroom." Crystal's knees went weak.

At the end of the day, she wanted him, so she eventually caved.

Even after they had been intimate once, Henry wanted more. With an arm wrapped around. her slender waist, he muttered, "Come to my office after sending Skyler to kindergarten, okay?" However, Crystal did not want to do that.

She shook her head imperceptibly. "I'm planning to go back and visit my mother."

Anna had already been discharged from the hospital. She was still living in the same condominium because she was used to it, and there were many memories of John there.

"We'll have dinner together after picking Skyler up at night," Henry persuaded.

After a moment's contemplation, Crystal agreed.

Leaning against his shoulder, she warned him not to put her through the wringer again.

Aware that he had gone too far, Henry nodded. He tenderly bathed and changed her.

When Skyler woke up, he was also the one who attended to her.

The little girl happily put on a floral dress. Then, she brushed her brown hair with a comb until it was smooth. While doing so, she asked in curiosity, "Why is Mommy still sleeping?" By then, Henry already had a tie on, looking dashing in his suit.

He scooped Skyler up. As they headed downstairs, he answered, "She's tired."

Skyler hugged her father around the neck.

Her bright ebony eyes were fixed on Henry. "Why aren't you tired, Daddy?"

For a moment, Henry was rendered speechless.

He pinched her cheek. "You'll know when you grow up."

He might avoid speaking about some things when educating his daughter, but he would. never feed her nonsense.

Skyler did not quite understand that.

She balled her hands into fists. Christopher must know the answer! I'll ask him!

Henry went downstairs with Skyler.

Glancing upstairs, the housekeeper asked smilingly, "Is Mrs. Miller not up yet?"

Henry placed Skyler onto the chair and served her breakfast before replying, "She's not feeling too well. I'll be back to drive her to the hospital after sending Skyler to the kindergarten." Advanced in age, the housekeeper promptly surmised everything following a brief deliberation.

Henry took a sip of coffee.

It contained no sugar, but he tasted a hint of sweetness.

Skyler was also as happy as a clam.

Upon waking up in the morning, I was in Daddy's arms. Mommy was also there, but she seemingly cried. Her eyes were swollen, and the corners of them were moist. That's likely what Daddy meant when he said she wasn't feeling too well! I can sense that Daddy is particularly gentle with Mommy. He looks at her differently each time, the look in his eyes just like Christopher's when he's eyeing a plate of

nuggets.

She could not resist wondering, "Don't you just love Mommy, Daddy?"

Henry's heart melted.

He was incredibly fond of the daughter Crystal had given him, replaceing the little girl incredibly smart.

Ruffling her brown hair, he smiled tenderly. "Yeah. Like you, she has brown hair and fair

skin."

Delight inundated Skyler.

In her happiness, she buried her head in her food.

After eating for some time, she lifted her head and asked bluntly, "Great-uncle Alfred's hair ist also brown when it isn't dyed, and he has fair skin, too. Do you love him as well, Daddy?" Words eluded Henry.

Skyler continued, "But Aunt Melora loves him! Daddy, does your family all love people with brown hair?"

A headache assailed Henry.

Skyler had an intelligence quotient of a hundred and seventy-six, which made her a genius.

I wonder what kind of man would be worthy of my precious daughter in the future!

After breakfast, he drove Skyler to kindergarten before making a trip home to pick Crystal up.

Crystal was rather tired, but still, she got out of bed.

She felt that she had overindulged last night to the point that the housekeeper might have overheard the movements upstairs. She was afraid of gossip behind her back.

Irrefutably, Henry was pretty patient.

While she washed up and changed, he remained downstairs and handled some work matters on his phone.

Seeas Corporation was expanding rapidly, so he was usually busy and had little time to spend with Crystal. Worse still, Skyler was at home at night. He hoped that she could keep him company during the day. Even if they were not being lovey-dovey, he would be contented to be able to see her upon. raising her eyes amidst his work.

5/6

Hmm, this is probably the honeymoon phase!

He enjoyed such a feeling greatly.

Crystal slept away half the day in the CEO's lounge. In the afternoon, she flipped through. Skyler's medical records. Henry was too busy while she was much more relaxed, so she was willing to share the burden with him.

Silence reigned in the spacious office.

When Crystal reached a particular page, she looked up and asked, "Skyler had two blood transfusions this year?"

Henry called her over.

Crystal went over with the medical report for him to have a look at it.

Henry stared at that page for a long time. "Skyler has hemophilia, and she has Rh-negative blood. It's inevitable for kids to fall and get injured in kindergarten. Besides the Rh-negative blood stocks in the blood bank, I have the contact number of all four people with Rh- negative blood in this city. Don't worry so much, Crystal."

He was Skyler's immediate family, so he could not donate his blood to her.

Otherwise, the situation would be much better.

In truth, Crystal was anguished. But with Henry making arrangements for Skyler, she felt inexorably relieved.

She saved the four people's contact numbers into her phone.

Henry watched her quietly.

Crystal smiled. "What's wrong with you?"

Henry lightly brushed a finger across her cheek, his voice suddenly turning hoarse. "When are you planning on giving me a rightful status after bedding me so many times last night?"
