Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 Be With You Forever 

I’ve never met a man as shameless as him! 

Crystal walked off angrily. 

Henry didn’t chase after her, but it seemed he already had everything planned. The moment Crystal arrived outside, she saw a shiny black car parked at the entrance. The driver then uttered respectfully. “Where would you like to go, Miss Winters? Mr. Miller told me to give you a list.” 

Crystal refused to get into the car. I think Henry is laying a trap for me. There’s no way I’m falling for it! 

She then ended up walking on the streets alone that night. Although the neon lights along the streets were out of this world, she wasn’t in the mood to admire them. 

Eventually, she arrived nearby an amusement park in the city. There, she saw a beautiful Ferris wheel and heard the cute voices of kids having fun in the background. 

Crystal halted in her tracks immediately and took in the scene. In a few years’ time, Madison and Charles will bring their kid here to have fun. She won’t dare to ride the Ferris wheel, but he will definitely keep their child company. They’ll be a happy family. Perhaps I should pay Madison a visit. 

With that in mind, she bought some health supplements and took a cab to Madison’s condominium. Coincidentally, Charles was out. 

Crystal entered the condominium, put those supplements aside, and noticed how pale Madison’s face was. She must’ve been having a rough time and skipping meals. 

Crystal then sat on the couch and picked up a random book nearby. As it turned out, it was a parenting manual. When Madison returned, she happened to see what was in Crystal’s hand, and the atmosphere turned slightly awkward. 

Madison put aside the coffee in her hand and asked in a quivering voice, “W-Will you look down on me, Crystal?” 

you think Hearing that, Crystal patted the back of Madison’s hand and feigned nonchalance. “Why would so? It’s a good thing you’re having a child! Do you have any idea how many people are struggling to get pregnant? It’s a blessing, so you should take care of your unborn baby. I’m sure you’ll have a beautiful child. After all, you and Charles are both very good-looking.” 

With her red-rimmed eyes, Madison hugged Crystal and uttered between her sobs, “I’m scared, Crystal. What if I can’t give my child happiness? This came at such bad timing! C-Charles had a huge fight with his family because of this. I-I’m worried that he might give up on me!” 

Crystal embraced her and kept mum for a while before saying, “Charles loves you, so he’ll surely love your child as well. Madison, have the child, okay? Just give birth to the child, no matter what happens about Zachary and Charles. Worse comes to worst, I’ll look after the child for you!” 

Madison heard that and cried as she leaned on Crystal’s shoulder. 

She was a strong woman, but she had gone through too many hardships over the past year. Hence, she eventually became sensitive and vulnerable. 

Crystal didn’t want to reveal much, so she also didn’t tell Madison about how she had gone to beg Henry. 

Before leaving, Crystal gave Madison a check worth two million and told her it was a dividend from the 

music centers. However, Madison refused to accept the check because she knew her capital couldn’t have. generated that much return within a year. 

In response, Crystal patted Madison’s hand and said, “Use it to help yourself raise your child in the future!” 

“In that case, perhaps you should be my child’s father!” Madison smiled. 

“No way! F*ck off!” Crystal cursed playfully, which was a rare occurrence. 

After Crystal left the condominium, she bumped into Zachary downstairs. 

Before that, he was smoking in his car, and he wasn’t planning to head upstairs. When he saw Crystal, he immediately hopped out of the car and approached her. “Hey, Crystal!” 

After everything that had happened, Crystal was understandably not fond of him, but she refused to hurl those hurtful words at him. “Let Madison go, will you? You know exactly what’s going on…” she uttered softly. 

The look of disappointment was written all over Zachary’s face when he took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, and stomped it out. 

Zachary had never had a good relationship with Crystal, but he was surprisingly polite when he said, “Crystal, it usually might not seem like it, but Madison is not as opinionated as you. She listens to your advice. I know I offended you repeatedly back then, but could you please put in a few good words for me? Do it for the sake of my relationship with Madison back then. As long as she agrees to come back to me, I’ll forget about everything that happened!” 

Crystal couldn’t help noticing how miserable he looked. In a calm tone, she replied, “Zachary, you never loved Madison. When you were pursuing her, you were also fooling around with Clementine. True love requires loyalty, and you’ve never been loyal!” 

Zachary was stunned. With his reddened eyes, he pleaded, “I was wrong, Crystal! Could you at least help me deliver a message to her?” 

Crystal shook her head in response. It’s too late for that. Even if Madison weren’t pregnant, she wouldn’t return to 

his side. 

Crystal returned home afterward and saw Charles’ text on WhatsApp. Although he merely thanked her, she knew he was dying to know the outcome. 

Later, she learned from someone that Charles and his family were at each other’s throats. Apparently, his family told him that if he wanted to be with Madison, she would have to get an abortion. Only then was Madison allowed to marry him and have kids together, 

Crystal stood on her balcony and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. They’re right. Charles and Madison are young, so they shouldn’t have a problem having more children together in the future. However, none of those children can ever replace the one Madison is carrying in her tummy. Furthermore, the abortion might even lead to them breaking up, no? I’m not a saint, but my heart aches whenever I see Madison cry. 

Crystal called Henry later that night, but he had switched off his phone. At around one in the morning, he returned her call and asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s up, Crystal? I’m on a business trip in Coldbridge, but I’ll be back tomorrow morning!” 

He’s telling me that as if we didn’t have a fight yesterday! 

Crystal remained silent for a long while before saying. I need to talk to you about what happened day,” 

“Are you agreeing with it?” Henry chuckled. 

“No!” Crystal tried her best to maintain her calm tone as she said, “However, I believe there’s room for negotiation.” 

Henry smiled gleefully when he heard that. 

At that moment, he had just finished attending a formal event and was enjoying the cold breeze in the hotel lobby. Needless to say, he was on cloud nine. “In that case, let’s have dinner tomorrow.” 

“Let’s just talk at your law firm.” 

“Crystal, do you think it’s appropriate to talk about our future in the office?” 

Crystal was annoyed, so she replied through her gritted teeth, “Henry, what I want to talk to you about is regarding Madison!” 

Instead of responding, Henry waited silently for her to cave in. 

Naturally, Crystal was not as patient as he was. 

After what seemed like forever, she said softly, “Henry, about us… Well, let’s talk about that at the law firm as well. We either talk there, or we don’t talk about it at all.” 

Henry compromised and responded casually, “Sure! I’ll be free for half an hour from ten onward tomorrow morning.” With that, he hung up the phone! 

Crystal was left stunned with the phone in her grip. 

The next day, Crystal arrived at the law firm on time. 

The employees there knew who she was because, after all, she almost married their employer. That was why, although Jamie wasn’t around that day, another secretary recognized her and led her to Henry’s 

office. 

“This way, Miss Winters! Mr. Miller is expecting you,” the secretary said. 

When the door to Henry’s office was pushed open, he was seen talking on the phone at his desk. He was still wearing a three-piece suit that day, which showcased his excellent physique. At the same time, there was a hint of aloofness in his elegant demeanor. 

The secretary couldn’t help but blink in astonishment. Mr. Miller seems to care more about his appearance recently. Although he looked fabulous before this, he never looked as dazzling as now. 

After feasting her eyes on Henry, the secretary went to make coffee. 

Meanwhile, Henry glanced at Crystal and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “Do as you see fit! I need to hang up now. I have a client to attend to.” 

Upon concluding the call, he gestured for her to take a seat.
