Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 132

Chapter 13 2 Thank You For Compromising
Crystal saw red.
Biting her lip, she glared at him. “What about you, Henry Miller? You’re no better than me! You smell like Audrey inside and out. Should I also wash you clean and sanitize your internal or ga ns, too? Let’s not despise each other!”
As she snapped, she wrapped her arms around his neck, spraying her hot breath on him.
Henry held her waist.
Actually, he didn’t want to touch her because he was still mad at her, but he couldn’t resist the
urge.
Consequently, he lowered his head and leaned in, as if wanting to kiss her.
“How kinky of you, Miss Winters. You want to wash my internal org ans? How about you wash my external ones first? What do you say?”
While speaking, he scooped Crystal up into his arms and headed toward the bathroom.
After five minutes, indistinct but steamy sounds emanated from the bathroom.
There were sounds of heavy breathing and soft pleading.
This was the first time Henry had sex with Crystal after revealing his true colors. Though Crystal behaved boldly and cooperated with him, he was still not content once it concluded.
He hadn’t been doing it for days and desperately needed to satisfy his desires, but he had no interest in doing it again after the intimate session came to an end.
It wasn’t because he didn’t feel anything. In fact, the experience was rather exciting.
However, it was just not the same as before.
Something was missing.
Clad in a bathrobe, Henry leaned against the headboard.
Emerging from the bathroom, Crystal began putting on clothes, sensing that they wouldn’t be engaging in any further intimacy that night.
Henry looked at her in silence.
She appeared docile with her downcast eyes, but he knew that it was just a facade.
Deep down, she had quite a feisty temper.

To Henry’s knowledge, she had never dared to raise her voice at Robert when they were dating in
the past. The mere thought stirred up jealousy within Henry.
After all, as a man, he was naturally inclined to be sensitive to such matters.
He lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly, “How long are you planning to stay mad at me?”
Crystal said nothing.
Henry casually flicked the cigarette ash away.
“You’re looking for investors, aren’t you? I can be one! You have the freedom to pursue anything you desire in the future, whether it’s having fun or doing business. I’ll arrange for Maric to prepare dinner so you can unwind, and it won’t disrupt our daily life either.”
His tone was filled with tenderness as he uttered those words, causing Crystal to be momentarily entranced, lost in a daze of emotions.
After a long silence, she let out a chuckle. “Henry, I’m seriously flattered! I’m surprised someone as prideful as you would be willing to compromise for my sake. By right, I should relent and go back with you.”
But I’m in love with you! Because of that. I can no longer be your pet, or I’ll despise myself!
Henry was unaware that all the promises he had made to her paled in comparison to him simply. expressing his love for her and his desire for a committed relationship.
Sadly, the relationship between them was purely physical.
Crystal sniffled. Wearing a self-deprecating smile, she added. “I’m not that valuable that I can sell my body for the second time, am I?”
Henry’s face clouded over as he gazed at her.
Crystal knew what he was thinking. He must be thinking I’m ungrateful or something! Well, that’s understandable. Why would he consider the feelings of a nobody like me? All I need to do is stay at home and wait for him to pamper me. But I don’t want that.
Despite having experienced hardships in her past romantic relationship, she still firmly believed that someday, she would meet someone who cherished her as much as she did him. She might be madly in love with Henry now, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t find true love in the future.
After she was done buttoning her shirt, she said calmly, “I’ll be taking my leave, Mr. Miller.”
Henry looked at her and asked, “Is it because of Seth? Do you like him?”
“No.”
Henry gazed at her with scrutiny for a long time before saying flatly, “You should leave tomorrow morning. It’s raining outside.”

Crystal’s resolve softened as she tilted her head to look out the floor-to-ceiling window. It was. indeed, pouring outside. Raindrops were seen sliding down the windowpane, resembling the tears of a heartbroken lover.
Crystal could not help recalling that fateful night, remembering how overjoyed she was when he said he would attend her banquet and meet her parents,
In the end, however, he did not show up, and his phone was switched off. While she was worried about his safety, he was hugging his old flame in the rain.
Crystal believed that if Audrey kissed him, he would not push her away. Neither could he be himself to do so.
Her wavering resolve solidified the next second.
“It’s okay, I’ll take a taxi back.”
With that, she opened the door and left.
It was cold and wet outside as it was raining heavily.

As she hugged herself tightly to ward off the cold, Crystal hailed a taxi. Once she got to the car. the floodgates of her emotions finally gave way, and tears streamed down her
No matter how strong she was, she still found it hard to accept the fact that bee nelationship with Henry had become what it was that day.
She used to be so deeply in love with him, yearning for a romantic relaciccabip
Henry did not plan to spend the night at the hotel either.
Slowly, he began putting on his clothes. When he was zipping up his panm, however, he found at small pearl earring at the foot of the bed.
He remembered that he was rough with her earlier.
When he pinned her down at the foot of the bed, her brown long hair was sprawled all over the white bed cover. It was such a graceful sight.
He stared at the earring for a while before picking it up and putting it into his pocket.
After checking out and getting into his car, he was thinking about where he should be going when Julia called him.
“Henry, Susan made desserts. Bring Crystal over”
While gently stroking the steering wheel with one hand, Berry lied, “It’s too late. Crystal is probably already asleep.”
Julia, being a sensitive woman, immediately semed soreshing was wrong. “Are you not living

with Crystal anymore?”
As a proud man, Henry could not bring himself to tell his mother that his woman had left him, so he replied listlessly. “No, that’s not it. S-She’s probably too tired to get out of bed.”
Julia blushed and reprimanded in a low voice, “You should control yourself. You want to have kids, right? You may have health issues in the future if you get too carried away during your youth. Don’t blame it on Crys when you fail to have kids.”
After a pause, she continued. “Listen to me. Build a family while you’re young. You’ll feel a sense of belonging once you have children.”
Henry let out a soft sigh. “Mom. I’ll be back for supper.”
Only then did Julia stop badgering him.
Henry then drove to the Miller Residence.
The residence was brightly lit, and the living room was filled with chatter and laughter, indicating there were guests present.
He stepped in to see Robert holding his precious sister Melora, who was blushing
Seeing Henry, Robert put his fiancée down and said provocatively. “Henry, I smell the hotel’s shower gel on you. Where have you been?”
Melora gave Robert a nudge, telling him to cut it out.
“Henry would never go to the hotel. He’s an abstinent man.”
Robert smirked. “Is that so?”
Unexpectedly, Henry did not deny Robert’s implicit statement as he sat down across from then and replied nonchalantly, “I just came back from the hotel.”
Melora was dumbfounded.
Did Henry really go to the hotel? Is he seeing another woman note?
Henry produced a small pearl earring from his pocket and added, “We had so much fun that Crystal didn’t even realize she left one of her earrings on the bed.”
Then, he deliberately shot Robert a glance.
The faint smile that was initially on Robert’s face instantly disappeared.
