Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 369

Chapter 369 Kissing The Young Crystal 2

It was eight in the evening when Henry sent Crystal back home.

The golden Bentley Continental siowly came to a halt in front of the Winters residence. Then, the clicking of car locks echoed across the small space. He had locked the doors,

Crystal turned to him with a panicked look. "This is too fast, Henry!"

He only needed to use ten percent of his charm with twenty-year-old Crystal. With a smirk, he teased, "I haven't even done anything yet. How am I fast?"

Her checks blushed at his innuendo.

Despite being inexperienced, she could still understand what he was implying.

Henry admired the pink blush on her cheeks briefly and decided to stop teasing her, not wanting to put her in a difficult spot.

He helped her unfasten the seatbelt, then gently brushed her hair to the side.

The narrow space in the car began to heat up.

Crystal started to feel nervous as it was her first time being in that situation with a man, and there was an unfamiliar look of lust in his eyes.

Right when her heart was racing, Henry leaned closer.

His voice was even more enticing than the darkness.

"I want to kiss you."

An expression as if a baby animal was at a loss crossed Crystal's face.

Feeling stirred, he pulled her to sit on his lap.

Crystal did not know what she should do.

The tip of his nose brushed hers. He looked at her fair cheeks and said in a hoarse voice, "Put your arms. around my neck."

Crystal didn't dare to at first, but slowly, she reached her hands out to his shoulders.

She even lowered her head to avoid looking at him. Her young, inexperienced body was shivering.

It's just a kiss and she's this afraid.

Henry wrapped an arm around her waist while he lifted her chin with his other hand before leaning down to kiss her, alternating between deep and shallow kisses.

Feeling a stronger desire, he started to go further, but Crystal was unwilling.

She leaned on his shoulders and held his hands in a death grip.

"You're not allowed to touch me!"

Although she had feelings for him, she was still clear-headed. They had just started to date and get to know. each other not long ago. Even kissing was crossing the line, much less something more. Hearing her cry with a soft, pleading voice, Henry snapped out of his haze.

I was being irrational. In my heart, she's already my wife, so it feels right no matter what I do to her, but I'm just a random stranger to the twenty-year-old her.

He scanned the woman in his arms. Her dress had slid down to her midriff. The straps were hanging down. her lean arms, making her look alluring. Henry's heart softened.

He gently pulled her dress back up and fastened the buttons.

He kissed her cheeks, tenderly and dotingly. "Don't cry. I won't touch you."

Crystal wanted to get off his lap, but he wouldn't let her.

Keeping his arm around her waist, he leaned forward, reached for a pack of cigarettes from the glovebox, and took a stick of cigarette from the box. He lit it with one hand and took a deep drag.

Crystal couldn't stand the smell of smoke. "I don't want to breathe in secondhand smoke."

Boldly, she took the cigarette from his lips and held it in her hand. Yet she did not know where to throw it. Henry thought her flustered look was adorable. He leaned forward and took the cigarette back with his hips.

Then he kissed her again and said, "I'll only smoke half of it, then I'll let you go home."

Crystal fell silent at his promise and obediently rested against his chest, feeling his warmth through his shirt and smelling the faint smell of tobacco.

He rolled down half of the windows and smoked slowly. With one hand, he gently patted her head. He loved her, but his love was slightly different from the one he had for the Crystal in reality. After all, the Crystal in his arms was only twenty years old.

As promised, he only smoked half of the cigarette before snubbing it and asking her, "Do you like me?"

Crystal refused to answer him.

How can I say something so embarrassing?

He didn't force an answer from her and merely held her, kissing her again and again. In the end, he patted her on her buttocks and said, "Hurry home. Otherwise, Mr. Winters will be worried." Crystal muttered an acknowledgement.

Henry smoothed the wrinkles of her clothing one last time and said with a husky voice, "Don't hide our relationship."

Crystal didn't agree and merely blushed at his demand.

She got out of the car in a rush and raced into the elevator.

Henry silently watched her lively figure leaving further away and felt frustrated inside.

It's been a few days since I've come into the dream, and I've managed to get Crystal to be my girlfriend in the shortest time possible, but that isn't my mission. Instead, it's to bear her suffering in her stead and bring her home. However, I still haven't seen the opportunity to do that.

Feeling anxious at that thought, he took another stick of cigarette out of the box and lit it.

When he was done and was just about to start the car to leave, he spotted a couple quarreling as they approached from afar.

He knew them.

They were Robert and Clementine.

It seemed they had been here for quite a while and had seen what had happened earlier.

Clementine tugged Robert's shirt and sobbed, "You saw it for yourself, Robert! She's already with someone else, She got out of such a nice car! What are you still doing here? What are you expecting?" Robert flung her hand away, causing her to fall on her butt.

She continued to make a scene. "Robert, I love you! Are you still unwilling to love me even though Crystal is already out of the picture?"

Robert ignored her.

Instead, his dark gaze was trained in Henry's direction. After that, he left, disappearing in the dark.

Clementine continued to weep.

Suddenly, Henry had a light bulb moment.

Robert! Clementine! Sylvester! Why didn't I connect the dot earlier? The key is Clementine. Was Clementine the one behind the fall of the chandelier in reality?

The space within the car was dark, and Henry continued to sit there.

He glanced coldly at the woman crying on the ground, eager to run her over with his car, but couldn't. George said I need to bear Crystal's suffering for her! No- Comprehension dawned upon Henry.

I came into this dream to redeem myself for my past mistakes.

He slowly drove away.

The neon lights of the city shone on Henry's face. With one hand on the steering wheel, he dialed Jamie's number. "Get me two bodyguards to protect Crystal." Jamie was dumbstruck by the sudden call.

However, as i professional, she kept her mouth shut and did as she was told.

Henry hung up the phone after that.

The flashy car disappeared into the depths of the city.

Henry continued to search for clues as he dated Crystal.

He often picked her up for dates and they spent most of their time at the condominium. He had thought Crystal would feel bored, but instead, she loved it.

She liked playing the piano and cooking in the kitchen.

She even enjoyed resting her head on his chest and listening to him talk about legal matters.

It was something he had never experienced with Crystal.

He wondered if the heavens were taking pity on them and giving them a chance to date again.

He carefully cherished every moment he had.

At nine o'clock in the evening on the weekend, Crystal felt it was time to go back.

However, it was raining cats and dogs outside.

Standing in front of the windows, she muttered, "Why is it still raining heavily when it's already autumn?"

Right after she spoke, a flash of lightning lit up the dark sky.

It scared her, sending her hiding in Henry's arms..

He smelled fresh right after a shower.

Crystal belatedly realized he was only wearing a bathrobe.

Her face was buried in his chest, and her skin was touching his warm skin. She could feel his rhythmic heartbeat, which made her shy.

He held her waist and said in a deep voice, "It's probably because I don't want you to leave."

Crystal was only twenty years old. She didn't dare to spend the night with a man.

Unwilling to stay for the night, she urged for the rain to stop.

Henry merely held her and sat on the terrace in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the night view. Leaning into her ear, he chuckled. "Do you not trust me?"

Crystal's face blushed.

Henry's heart softened. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't bear to do it because he would have to leave at the end of the day.

Even though it was only a dream, he didn't want to make her sad.

While holding her, he reached for his phone to call John. Before long, the call connected.

He stared at Crystal and said, "It's me, Mr. Winters. The rain is pouring rather heavily, so Crystal can't make it back today. Okay, I'll take good care of her."

He ended the call with that.

Crystal looked at him dazedly.

He tossed his phone to the side and gently laid her onto the white wool carpet. He stroked the tip of her nose and asked, "What are you thinking? Do you think we must make love if we spend the night

together?"

His words were too straightforward, leaving Crystal at a loss.

Lightning continued to strike while thunder continued to rumble outside, but the atmosphere within the condominium unit was warm and fuzzy. This was his home with Crystal.

Henry held her body and kissed her.

Crystal had never done anything like that with him before.

She whimpered, "Henry, you said you wouldn't touch me!"

Henry leaned into her ear and chuckled lightly. "I won't do it for real, okay?"

An inexperienced woman like Crystal couldn't stop his advances.

In front of the full glass floor-to-ceiling windows, Crystal was stripped of her clothes as her body enjoyed his touches and kisses.

In the end, she cried.

Henry landed a kiss after another, soothing her until she was happy.

It was already late into the night as she lay on his big, soft bed in his black shirt. He had released some tension from his body, but it didn't alleviate his worries.

Crystal didn't know about the worries on his mind.

All she wanted was a promise or explanation after he had gotten his way with her.

Her words came out in a stutter as she tested him.

Her adorable look brightened his mood. "Crystal, let's have three children in the future."

Three children...

Crystal blushed. "Who wants to have a baby with you?

Henry teased her with his finger. "I've already thought of their names."

Crystal's interest was piqued.

Her eyes sparkled as her head rested on his chest. She was dressed only in his black shirt.

He grabbed her hand softly and intertwined his fingers with hers. His voice was soft in the night. "Skyler, Remi, and Aurora, How's that?"

Crystal contemplated his suggestion.

Shortly after, she wrapped her arms around his waist and said, "I don't want three kids."

A small smile curved Henry's lips.

He pulled her closer to him and gently held her in his arms.

They had been through a lot, but a quiet moment like that was rare for them.

Crystal was half asleep when she heard Henry whisper something in her ear.

"I love you."

A week later, Clementine still hadn't make her move.

Henry's anxiety began to grow.

In his study, he sat in his chair with a lit cigarette in his mouth. He lighted one stick after another.

He closed his eyes and ran through the entire incident in his mind..

What did I forget?

At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from Charles.

Charles was close to him, and they used to hang out a lot, so his reason for calling was along the same lines. "Henry, I organized a gathering for tonight. Are you coming?"

Henry was about to turn him down when something struck him.

Charles! That's it! Charles and Madison's relationship lasted till the very end. The current Zachary is two-timing Madison with Clementine. Someone with financial support won't go to extremes.

Henry thought of an idea in that instant.

Clementine will do something out of desperation if I cut off her financial support.

Henry agreed readily as he sucked in a drag of smoke. "Let's invite Zachary too. We've met a few times at the Department of Music."

Charles wasn't happy that Zachary was brought up.

However, he agreed when he thought about Madison coming too.

"Sure. I'll call him."

Henry hung up his phone and quietly sat for a while before making another call. "Make a copy of Zachary's SIM card. I have use of it."

The next day, at eight in the evening, a dozen people were in the private room of an exclusive club in Barnwood. Every inch of the building was oozing luxury.

All of them were in the same circle.

Dressed in black, Henry sat in a dark corner, keeping a low profile.

Charles took a seat beside him and joked, "What's wrong? Are you scared of the girls latching themselves onto you? Don't tell me you really have a girlfriend?"

He was testing the waters and half joking.

Henry gave him a reserved smile. "I just got a girlfriend"

Charles slapped his back. "Why didn't you invite her too? Let me meet her."

Henry didn't want to bring Crystal to an unpleasant place like the club, so he said, "She's young and needs. to sleep early. She's probably already in bed now."

Charles clicked his tongue. "She's young? How could you lay your hands on a young girl, Henry?"

Henry kept his mouth shut, refusing to reveal anything.

At that moment, Zachary led Madison over.

Zachary was also part of the circle but wasn't acquainted with Henry, so he kept a humble attitude.

However, Henry was quite courteous to him and addressed him friendly.

Zachary was shocked by his attitude and assumed Henry only treated him nicely because of Crystal

He was curious about their relationship.

Crystal is pretty but not that pretty to the extent of keeping Henry on a leash. However, I heard from Madison that Henry had really fallen for Crystal. Under Henry's care, the Winters family had risen to success

quickly.

Zachary was a man, and he knew how men pampered their women. Those willing to splurge on their women were serious, while those who merely took them to the malls were not.

At that, he began to place more importance on Madison, urging her to maintain a good relationship with Crystal.

Everyone had their own schemes and plans.

However, it was a piece of cake for the thirty-five-year-old Henry to play with them.

He continued chatting with them with a reserved smile,

The atmosphere in the private room was good, and the men began to drink too much. Only Henry remained awake.

At ten at night, the door to the room opened, and the server politely informed, "This is it, Miss Dynah"

Clementine, clad in a black figure-hugging dress, walked in.

She looked sexy.

Zachary froze.

What is Clementine doing here?

The atmosphere turned awkward Clementine was about to sit beside Zachary when she spotted Madison.

She looked at Zachary, who gave her a look.

Clementine immediately understood what he meant. "Sorry, I got the wrong room.
