Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 341

Chapter 341 Henry Is Jealous 1

Henry left the clinic and got into his car, his head still throbbing from the pain.

He leaned against the backseat and massaged his forehead gently.

Jamie offered him a cold towel to alleviate the pain. She felt bad for him. "Mr. Miller, why don't we replace at neurologist? This hypnotist wasn't that reliable." Hearing that, Henry was stunned for a moment.

"I remembered so much, but it's like waking up from a drunken stupor as all those memories were gone when I woke up."

It wasn't the hypnotist's problem, as his nerves were destroyed.

Disappointment was evident on his face.

He didn't mind the regret, but he wanted Crystal to be genuinely happy.

Right then, his phone rang.

It was Crystal. She asked gently. "Henry, are you still outside?"

At once, Henry felt his headache subside.

He sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Crystal chuckled softly. "I suddenly feel like cooking meatballs. Would you like some? If you do, I can have some delivered to your office later for lunch."

Henry felt his nose sting.

It took him a long while to calm down and respond, "I'll wait for you at noon."

The call ended.

Maybe our marriage isn't as fulfilling as I hoped, but it's not that bad. I love Crystal, and she's making an effort to be closer to me. To her, I'm someone she wants to be close to. Isn't that sufficient? It's better than many marriages out there.

At noon, he finally got to hug his wife and take an afternoon nap as he wished.

In the twenty-square-meter room, he held her close, ensuring that her body was enveloped in his masculine scent.

Crystal was not asleep. She whispered, "How much do you think I should donate for the university anniversary celebration?"

That would be an important part of the event, and all eyes would be on her.

Crystal didn't like to be in the spotlight, so she thought five million was an adequate amount.

She told Henry about her idea.

With his eyes shut, he touched her waist. "That sounds great!"

Crystal turned around and buried her face in his chest.

In the blink of an eye, the joint anniversary event arrived.

It ended up on the trending page and thus gained quite a bit of attention in Barnwood.

Crystal woke up early in the morning, dressed up, and applied makeup. When she descended the stairs, she appeared stunning.

She opted for a red silk blouse paired with a glittery skirt. She decided to forgo expensive jewelry and only wore a pair of exquisite pearl earrings along with a watch. Henry was having breakfast while reading the finance newspaper.

Upon hearing her footsteps, he glanced up, his eyes a mixture of affection and displeasure. "Crystal, you're dressed more formally than the day we remarried." Crystal glanced at her watch and flashed a smile.

Her custom-made watch was worth over twenty million dollars, and it matched Henry's. However, his watch was more understated in design.

Crystal said, "This is pretty low-key. I'm sure someone will be wearing fur coats today."

Henry doubted her words as the temperature was twenty-six degrees Celsius today.

What if a person wears a fur coat and ends up with heatstroke? Do they have to call the ambulance?

Upon arriving at the Department of Music, he realized Crystal was true. There was really someone wearing a fur coat.

It was Clementine, a recent addition to Barnwood's affluent women's social circle.

She was wearing a black slip dress and a luxurious green fur coat. The set of jewelry she had on added an extra layer of elegance to her appearance.

There was a seductive look in her eyes the minute she spotted Henry.

"It's been a while, Mr. Miller."

Clementine had tied the knot with a coal magnate boasting a net worth in the billions. However, he was in his fifties and had a penchant for extramarital affairs, leaving her discontent. The sight of the mature and handsome Henry brought back memories of Crystal's recording.

She refused to believe Henry could tamp down his desires as he was in his prime.

She flirted with him boldly even though Crystal was around.

Henry cast a brief glance at her fur coat before offering a polite smile and nodding in acknowledgment.

Clementine had been anxious that he might uncover her involvement, but he did not seem to know about it. Encouraged by this, she grew bolder and obtained a glass of champagne from a server. "Mr. Miller, my purpose in being here at Barnwood extends beyond supporting my alma mater. I also aim to connect with some celebrities for a movie project. My husband has full authority in this area.

Henry had heard about the coal magnate's hobby of shooting movies.

He would always pick pretty actresses.

He looked at Crystal calmly and responded, "I'm not directly involved in that industry, but I do have connections with a few celebrities. I could introduce you to them someday, Miss Dynah." Clementine's lips quirked up.

She glanced at Crystal and shot the latter a victorious smile.

The tables had turned. In the past, she had been overshadowed by Crystal, but now she had returned. triumphant. Even someone like Henry seemed to be impressed with her. Perhaps one day he might be willing to warm her bed.

Crystal couldn't be bothered to respond to her provocation.

After all, Henry would be blind to fall for someone like Clementine.

Right then, Madison arrived.

Years had passed since their graduation, and Madison, once considered the most beautiful girl in school, had put on some weight. Her second husband, Charles, held her waist in a gentlemanly manner, and they appeared to be the picture-perfect couple.

Seated in the corner of the couch, Zachary experienced a whirlwind of complex emotions.

He had thought that they wouldn't be doing well.

After all, Charles was a playboy, and Madison was hot-tempered.

Nevertheless, Charles had stopped fooling around, and after their marriage, there were no rumors of him being unfaithful to Madison despite her weight gain.

Zachary's eyes turned red.

Madison locked eyes with him, and they held each other's gaze for several seconds before she looked. away.

She then turned her attention to Charles..

Charles, eager to discuss a project with Henry, gently tapped Madison's hand. "Why don't with Crystal? I need to talk to Henry."

you have a chat

Madison didn't ask questions.

Charles' company had not been doing well in recent years, but she had never asked Crystal for help. She didn't want their relationship to be strained, and she was content with her current circumstances. Madison wanted to talk to Crystal, so she dragged her to the restroom to talk in private.

"Crystal, you should be careful. I saw Clementine talking to Henry from afar, and something didn't seem right. It's obvious she wants to seduce him! You can't underestimate her," Madison warned. Madison was worried that Henry would cheat on Crystal.

Crystal blinked.

As she turned off the tap, she said slowly, "There is always a man for Clementine in Barnwood."

Madison was taken aback for a moment.

She glanced at Crystal, who appeared calm. The last time she saw Crystal wear such an expression was. when Lara was around.

It was evident that Crystal was going to deal with Clementine.

Crystal left the bathroom ahead of her.

Glancing at her back, Madison thought it would be an entertaining sight if Crystal and Henry were to engage in a fight. However, it seemed unlikely to occur.
