Crystal’s One Night of Love

Chapter 230 I Miss You So Much

Crystal was not in the mood to talk.

She knew very well what he wanted to talk about. He wanted nothing more than to get back together with.

her.

Aside from everything they had been through, they were also divorced for three years.

Crystal had long since gotten over it. She did not hate him as much as before, but her love for him had vanished.

Nevertheless, she intended to make peace with him for Skyler's sake.

"I want to see her first."

Under the yellow lights, he let go of his grip. "Go on. Don't wake her."

"Okay." Crystal walked around him and headed up the stairs.

After she walked away, Henry gazed down at his palm and savored the lingering warmth contained within. It brought back memories.

Crystal's hand fell on the doorknob of Skyler's bedroom on the second floor. After a moment's hesitation, she pushed it open and found that Skyler was asleep.

The light pink bedroom was lit with a bedside lamp. The child was sleeping on her side, and her mouth was slightly ajar, emitting a faint sweetness with every breath she exhaled. Crystal felt her heart soften..

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she reached out and caressed the girl.

I cannot get enough of her.

It had been three years. She had missed three years with the child, especially those two when Skyler was lying in the laboratory, with her mother nowhere to be found.

Guilt washed over her.

Although she knew that Henry had done that for her own good, she still hated him for it.

Crystal's eyes glistened her tears. Unable to help herself, she leaned over and kissed Skyler.

She looks just like me. However, her character is exactly like Henry's.

Crystal lay down and hugged Skyler. Her heart gradually regained its calm as if all of her pain had been healed at that moment.

Henry watched them quietly as he stood at the door.

Although he knew he should give Crystal time to get used to it, he could no longer suppress his feelings.

He was seized by an urgent need to be close to her.

It was not all out of lust, however. He wanted to own her. After three years, he wanted to know if she still

wanted him.

Henry turned off the lights.

Crystal froze when the bedroom suddenly turned dark.

Then, the soft mattress beside her sank in. Henry pressed himself on top of her. In the darkness, neither could see the other.

"Are you crazy, Henry?" she hissed.

He merely stared at her.

As she glared at him, he lowered her head and kissed her. Before she could stop him, he shoved his tongue into her mouth and began to tease her. It has been so long.

It was evident that Henry was out of practice. Relying solely on his memories, he teased her in an attempt to pleasure her.

Crystal shoved him away.

Skyler remained fast asleep. Not wanting the child to witness the scene, Henry held Crystal's cheek after a little hesitation and began kissing her deeply.

Unable to avoid his approach, Crystal bit him in a panic.

Henry stopped what he was doing.

His beady eyes locked onto her in the darkness. "I felt you stir earlier, Crystal," he said hoarsely. "You still have feelings for me."

Crystal was thoroughly flustered.

In their current scandalous position, she could not even breathe without finding him pressed against her. She was livid and embarrassed. "Didn't you say you wanted to talk in the study, Henry? What are you up to now?"

He leaned down toward her.

Then, he buried his face in the nape of her neck and did not speak for a long time.

"I miss you so much, Crystal. I admit that I wanted to have sex with you. Who wouldn't want to do it with his favorite woman after a few years apart?"

Crystal felt her mind clear a little.

She kicked him. "Get out! We're divorced!"

She had thought he would refuse to budge, but to her surprise, he moved aside and didn't force her.

We nearly did it.

Crystal went to the bathroom and straightened her clothes before heading into the study to speak with

him.

Between them, there was much to talk about: Skyler's past, present, and future.

As her parents, those were things to take into consideration even if they were divorced.

Henry had prepared himself to have a long conversation with her.

Crystal pushed open the door and entered. He was making coffee when he heard the sound of her footsteps. "It's still Mandheling, isn't it?" Crystal nodded and sat on the couch.,

She stared at his back.

It was her first time examining Henry properly after they met again. He was as good-looking as ever and was a lot more restrained. Aside from being shameless, he was just the same as he used to be. Henry placed the cup of coffee before her.

Then, he took a thick folder from his bookshelf and handed it to her. Although Alfred had prepared her for this, she felt her fingers trembling uncontrollably when she took the folder.

In the depth of night, he remained by her side while she perused every page.

Crystal shut the folder at last when the sky began to brighten, looking all tired.

Recalling what had happened, Henry said, "I was afraid you might not be able to take it, given your poor health back then. Skyler eventually got better, but her condition for the first two years was awful. Only this year did her condition begin to improve. Aside from some usual small problems, she will have a normal childhood."

Crystal set the documents down gently

Then, she gazed up at him. "What small problems?"

Henry struggled to speak. "She has autism and hemophilia, and her blood is Rh-negative."

As he said that, he stared blankly into space.

Crystal was thunderstruck.

She pinched herself, unable to believe her ears. Her heart ached.

Henry went behind her.

He held her gently and placed his chin on her shoulder. "Let's start over, Crystal-I will be a good husband and father this time. I won't disappoint you again."

He knew she would not agree easily.

However, he could not resist saying it, as it was the sort of night for an amorous advance.

Crystal turned him down without even considering it.

Suppressing her annoyance, she said calmly, "We're over, Henry. I won't fight you for custody as you were the one who raised Skyler. I can't hurt her feelings, so the best thing to do would be to raise her together. We can take turns and arrange our schedules accordingly. I think we can make it work, but everything else

depends on you."

Just like that, Henry's hopes were dashed.

Crystal had even thought about arranging her schedule. She did not lose her temper at him or slap him. across the face.

I would much rather she give me a tight slap.

Given the current situation, he did not think it appropriate to seduce her, so he conceded. "We'll talk about it later. You should spend some time with Skyler first. By the way, she has monthly follow-ups to treat her autism. Come for the next one."

This time, Crystal did not turn him down.

She was Skyler's mother. The moment she set foot into the mansion the night before, she already knew that motherhood would make her lose her freedom.

However, she did not regret it at all.

Crystal, too, had an ulterior motive. "I-I don't plan on getting married, Henry," she said tentatively. "So, if you have plans to remarry, why don't you leave her in my care? I promise you can see her whenever wish."
