Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Crystal Pesters Henry For A Hug

Henry drove back to the condominium, but Crystal was not there.

He flung all the doors open in search of her. "Crystal!"

Alas, all the rooms were empty.

Just when he was about to go downstairs to look for her, the click of the front door opening. drifted into the air. On the heels of that, Crystal stepped in.

It was a night during autumn, so she had put on a jacket before heading out.

The jacket was oversized-his baseball uniform during university. It looked incredibly mesmerizing on Crystal, especially when it bared her fair and slender legs. Henry's brows were creased deeply.

There were only two more days to go, and his nerves were stretched taut. He was afraid that something would happen to her.

Consequently, his tone was inexorably harsh. "Where did you go?"

Crystal was promptly taken aback.

A long moment later, she answered softly, "I cooked a lot of food tonight, but you didn't come home for dinner, so I fed it to the puppy downstairs."

Henry's expression remained as grim as ever.

His

eyes were fixed on her, his voice hoarse. "Don't go running around these two days."

With that said, he went into the study.

He needed to calm down as he was too tense. While he wanted to be amicable, it was simply too difficult to do so when the success or failure of things would come to light in another two days. The lights were all turned off in the study.

He sat there and smoked quietly, wondering how the passing of time would correspond in real life compared to his dream.

Worry for Crystal beleaguered him.

At the same time, he was also concerned about their third child.

It was a girl, and he gave her the name Aurora Miller because he wanted her to be as noble as a princess upon birth.

His emotions were a turbulent mess, leading to the ashtray on the table overflowing with cigarette butts.

All of a sudden, the door swung open with a creak.

Crystal tiptoed in and made her way to him under the illumination of the dim light, settling. herself into his arms. She plastered herself against him ingratiatingly. Hugging him around the waist, she asked gently, "What's wrong, Henry?"

Ultimately, she was a young girl and felt aggrieved when ignored and reprimanded.

"I didn't do anything wrong," she added.

Henry was initially in a bad mood, but when such a soft and delicate girl threw herself into his arms, he could not stop his warm hand from wandering. It came into contact with spaghetti straps. Well, well, well... She's actually wearing a silk nightgown.

"Is this deliberate?" He toyed with the thin strap, his voice so raspy that it was as though he had swallowed hot sand, yet it sounded very much seductive.

Titling her head back, Crystal kissed him on the chin.

She kissed him time and again, her voice coming a little breathlessly. "Are you still mad, then?"

Henry caressed her slender waist lightly.

His entire body was tense. Apart from desire, there was also a ball of stress on the of detonating.

The best way for a man to vent his stress was to bed a woman.

Furthermore, the woman in his arms was his wife.

He lowered his head and sought her lips. Crystal was somewhat lost, her ruby lips parted a fraction. Seizing that opportunity, he invaded her mouth and kissed her. As their passions ran high, he tightened his arm around her waist and pressed her against him.

"Henry!" Crystal mewled, sounding just like a kitten.

Snapping at long last, Henry carried her over to the couch and kissed her to his heart's

content.

At the critical juncture, he abruptly stopped.

He kissed the girl in his arms and coaxed her tenderly. However, Crystal propped herself up. stunningly beautiful under the dim lights. Staring at him with a gentle look, she purred. "Didn't you say I'm yours, Henry? Since we're destined to be together, why don't we make things official now?"

She might be young, but she was no fool.

She knew that money was always where love was.

Considering the fact that he gave her the sum of his wealth, she did not doubt his love for her

at all.

Henry gazed down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing seductively.

In the end, impulsiveness shattered reason.

Scooping Crystal up, he strode toward the bedroom and the bed where they were intimate. for the first time in the real world. In his dream, however, he bedded her four years in advance. Following a few bouts of intimacy, Crystal went out like a light as her young body could not withstand being put through the wringer.

Conversely, sleep eluded Henry.

He paced around the condominium, racking his brain about leaving something that would make life bearable for Crystal in the following four years.

It was late at night, but he made several calls.

He arranged for someone to handle the subsequent matters.

On top of that, he ordered the best diamond ring in Barnwood and had it delivered overnight. It was a pear-shaped, highly important diamond ring.

At four o'clock in the morning, he lifted the covers and slipped into bed.

No sooner had he settled down than Crystal groggily turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck, whining, "Where did you go?"

"To handle some important matters." The man's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Burying her head into his arms, Crystal rubbed against him lightly.

A moment later, she plastered herself against his chest and murmured, "It hurts slightly."

Henry's heart melted. Stroking her head, he coaxed, "It'll pass soon."

Undeniably, Crystal was quite demanding at times.

Tugging at his hand, she tentatively and softly requested that he only sleep with her in this lifetime. As she spoke, she sounded very much like Skyler. Henry said nothing.

Uneasy, she threw her head back and looked up at him.

At that precise moment, the man slipped a cold diamond ring onto her ring finger. The size was just right.

Crystal was stunned for a moment.

She slowly lifted her hand. Despite loving it beyond words, she feigned nonchalance. "This is for me?"

Henry gently pulled her hand down before interlocking his fingers with hers.

Burying his face in her neck, he confessed in a low voice, "Marry me, Crystal. I've loved you for a long time!"

It's been seven years. We've been entangled with each other for seven long years!

At twenty years old then, Crystal was oblivious to all that and was simply delighted.

Glimpsing the joy in her eyes, Henry was both bitter and melancholic inwardly. What a silly girl!

There was only one day left.

Henry made arrangements for a lot of things again. Although it was only a dream, he could not leave blithely. Being a sensitive woman, Crystal sensed something off. The night before, she pestered him for a hug.

After a bout of passion, Henry held her delicate leg, caressing the spot where she would be injured in the future.

"I've done many things I regret, Crystal. There's only one thing I've never regretted," he stated softly.

And that's loving you!

Crystal gazed up at him.

She knew that something was amiss, but she trusted him unconditionally.

My time here is up!

That night, Henry kept her in his arms for the entire night, giving her a taste of unrestrained. passion.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the styling team arrived.

Henry chose a baby pink maxi gown for Crystal, complemented by an emerald pendant.

It was the first time Crystal had ever dressed so grandly.

Turning around, she hugged him and muttered, "I'm a bit nervous, Henry."

Henry stroked her face gently before kissing her tenderly, his gaze unfathomable. "I love you, Crystal!”

A faint smile bloomed on Crystal's face.

Just when she was about to respond to that, Henry brought his hand down on the back of her

neck hard.

Immediately, her body went limp.

Carrying her to the soft bed, he leaned down and kissed her, murmuring, "We'll be together when you wake up from this sleep. Be good."

When he straightened, tears shimmered in his eyes imperceptibly.
