Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 275

Chapter 275 Remember To Come Home

Early in the morning, Henry was jolted awake by Skyler plopping onto him.

The instant he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of the little girl with brown hair on him. "I want to go to the toilet, Daddy!"

Henry placed an arm over his eyes.

He truly did not want to get out of bed, but she was her biological daughter.

Left with no other choice, he sat up. Undoing her one-piece pajamas, he asked, "Where's your mommy?"

Skyler's ebony eyes shone brightly. "Mommy is preparing breakfast for me!"

Preparing breakfast? The Miller family needs its mistress to do that? And is she really that diligent?

As Henry was slightly distracted and inept, his movements were a touch slow. By the time he jolted out of his thoughts, Skyler had already burst into tears, and a wet and warm patch stained the crotch of her pajamas.

A few drops of warm liquid dripped onto him.

Shame was written all over Skyler's face.

Her fair and exquisite face was all scrunched up as she wept sorrowfully.

Just then, Crystal came upstairs. She was somewhat surprised upon seeing that Skyler had peed her pants, but she quickly scooped the little girl up. Sensing her mother's tenderness, Skyler twisted her body in embarrassment and stopped crying.

Crystal took a set of clean clothes for her.

Skyler deftly took off her clothes, baring her petite body and disproportionate head.

Verily, she looked adorable.

Henry sat up. "Why did she ask me to remove her pajamas when she could've done it herself? She wouldn't have peed her pants."

Crystal went silent for a long while before she replied, "You were the one who took care of her before she was three years old. She can do many things herself, but she hasn't seen you in days. She missed you. greatly and wanted to draw close to you."

Alas, Henry had forgotten all that.

Not only did he have no recollection of loving her, but he had also forgotten how to indulge Skyler.

Crystal went to the bathroom and filled the bathtub for Skyler to have a bath. When she came back out, she cleaned up the bed and floor.

Throughout it all, Henry studied her quietly.

She appeared to be a perfect housewife, radiating gentleness.

If I long for marriage, I'll probably accept her easily. But unfortunately, I don't like married life. I replace it restraining!

After wiping himself clean, he went to the walk-in closet to change. He washed up before making his way downstairs leisurely.

Downstairs, David stole a glance at his son.

At the sight of Henry looking all high and mighty, he sensed a spark of fury sparking to life within him.

He then turned his gaze to the endearing two children, replaceing them irresistibly lovable.

In a beautiful dress, Skyler sat at the dining table with her head buried in her food. When she saw that Henry had come downstairs, she was surprisingly amicable. "I forgive you for the matter earlier." Words cluded Henry.

Skyler continued, "I'm willing to give you a chance to make amends!"

Henry took a seat beside her. He picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip of it. "How do you want me to make amends?"

"By driving me to kindergarten! Both you and Mommy have to do so!"

Henry turned his head and pinned his eyes on Crystal beside him. "You taught her this?"

Crystal's temper spiked, and she decided to simply admit to it.

"Yes! But you don't have to go!"

Henry chuckled. "How can I not satisfy you when you've gone to such lengths, Mrs. Miller?"

Having said that, he even brushed a finger across her delicate face wickedly.

How soft and smooth! The best part about this marriage is that her looks are my cup of tea!

Seeing his son's frivolous actions, David had steam coming out of his ears. "Speak properly and keep your hands to yourself! Crystal is your wife to whom you're legally married, not some shameless woman out there! Show her some respect!"

Henry merely smiled.

He did not refute that, obediently driving Skyler to kindergarten and even kindly dropping Crystal back at the mansion.

However, he did not enter the house.

Crystal was no fool.

She did not expect him to return to their house at once, for she remembered that his private life was quite messy back then. While he was not promiscuous, he was not a conservative man at business events. She alighted from the car.

Henry, on the other hand, remained seated in the car. With the window rolled down, he lit a cigarette.

"Are you coming home tonight?" Crystal asked softly.

Propping his elbow against the car window, Henry took a slow drag of his cigarette. He snickered. "If I

don't, will you be telling on me again and having my father force us to sleep in the same bed?"

Crystal lifted her head a fraction.

Ugh! His current self is a downright b*stard!

When she faced him again, she inhaled deeply. "Remember to come home, Mr. Miller!"

Henry's eyes were bright, and a smirk played on his lips. "Is this a free pass for me, Mrs. Miller?"

Crystal could not be bothered to entertain him.

She stared at him silently for a while before spinning on her heel and entering the mansion that was their home once upon a time.

As she walked, tears streamed down her face.

She had tasted the depths of his love for her, and right then, the pain she experienced was of the exact

same measure.

For the following few days, the man did not come home.

She knew that he was staying at his condominium.

Skyler kept asking about her father, and Crystal comforted her tenderly, feeling sorry for her.

Nonetheless, she knew all too well that it was impossible to shackle Henry with a child.

After all, his past self was wild and unrestrained.

She was anxious herself, but she forcibly suppressed her anxiety. Since she was pregnant, she could not be mad at him or confront him head-on.

When a woman goes up against a man, she will forever be on the losing end.

After Crystal dropped Skyler off at the kindergarten early in the morning, the driver asked in a murmur, "Are we heading to the hospital for a prenatal checkup now, Miss Winters?"

Crystal lowered her head slightly. "No, head to the office."

With a nod, the driver drove to Secas Corporation. No sooner had the car come to a stop than Jamie. hastened over and opened the door for her in surprise. Shouldn't you be going for a prenatal checkup today, Miss Winters?"

Crystal wore a white suit, her belly bulging.

Supporting her waist with a hand, she flashed Jamie a smile. "Something cropped up, so I came over to

handle it."

Jamie was both attentive and considerate.

Knowing that Henry had returned to the country, she was happy for Crystal. She naturally made a few personal remarks when they arrived at the office on the top floor.

Sitting behind the desk, Crystal slowly drank half a glass of milk. Out of the blue, she asked, "How long have you worked for Henry, Jamie?"

Come to think of it, it's been seven or eight years," Jamie answered smilingly.

Crystal fixed her eyes on Jamie and said, "Henry has forgotten a lot of things, so I'm very much worried. Besides, I have no one at Adroit Law Firm. Jamie... I'd like you to return to his side." Jamie was visibly startled.

She was no fool. She understood Crystal's meaning all too clearly-the latter wanted her to be a spy.

She was in a bind

1 Mr. Miller were to discover that I betrayed him, I'd be doomed! After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime job!

Crystal opened the drawer, took out a checkbook, and wrote a check for ten million.

On top of that, she fished out a key.

"Here's a furnished house of a hundred and eighty square meters in Jewel District and a check for ten

illion. Even if Henry were to fire you, I think this would be enough for you to survive. Furthermore, I promise you can return to work in Secas Corporation

That windfall bowled Jamie over.

That one-hundred-and-eighty-square-meter house is approximately thirty million. Additionally, there's a check! How generous of Miss Winters

Not only did Crystal induce Jamie with money, but she also appealed to her emotions. "I love Henry deeply, but I'm now pregnant and have no energy to win him back. I'm worried about him. You understand my situation as a wife and mother, right, Jamie?"

Jamie hesitated for a moment.

Ultimately, she said. "Don't worry, Miss Winters. ... am on your side!"

Crystal got to her feet and lightly placed the key and check into Jamie's pocket, smiling demurely. "I won't control him over trivial things, but if he has someone special by his side, you must tell me about it!"

Jamie bobbed her head.

She sensed something different about Crystal. Did Mr. Miller trigger her in some way yesterday?

Thereafter, she left the office.

Crystal made a call to Henry, her voice as gentle as ever as she said, "It's my prenatal checkup today. Henry. Do you have time to accompany me?"

At that moment, Henry was at the law firm.

He was rather surprised to receive a call from her since she did not phone him even once in the few days he had not returned to her place. Right then, however, she had taken the initiative to call him.

In truth, he did not mind accompanying her to her prenatal checkup as it was his child she was carrying.

Regretfully, he had an appointment with a client that morning

He turned her down courteously to make her feel that it would be unreasonable of her if she were to

insist.

Unexpectedly, Crystal remained unfazed. "Never mind, then. I'll have Mr. Hearnshaw accompany me."

On the other end of the phone, Henry frowned.

Mr. Hearnshaw... Ryan Hearnshaw? I remember he used to be my subordinate, specializing in managing my finances. So, he's working for her now, and they're so close that he can accompany her for her prenatal checkup?
