Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 All Hers 

Under the resplendent lights, Henry stood there and stared at Crystal. 

He saw her smiling as she focused on Seth. 

For the past few days, she had been cold toward him and barely smiled. Yet, when she looked at Seth, the could not help but smile happily. Is Seth more important and attractive than me? 

Henry did not want to appear jealous and make himself look petry. 

Despite that, he found himself making his way toward them. He took a glass of red wine from the waiter and said to Crystal with a grin, “That’s enough. Am I that good-looking?” 

Crystal was already used to his lack of shame. 

She gave an apologetic smile in Seth’s direction. 

Naturally, Seth understood. Although he lived in Hulcaster now, he was still well-informed of Crystal’s 

matters. 

Crystal had returned to Henry because of Charles and Madison. Then again, Seth could tell that things were not quite the same between the two of them. 

Hence, Seth decided to mock him. “Henry, you must be so worried to have come all the way to Hulcaster. Some people may think that you are here for Eastamor. Others may think you are being too paranoid!” 

When it came to conflicts between men, not only did they want to slaughter one another in the business world, but they refused to lose even in an argument. 

Since Henry was a lawyer, he had no issue with engaging in a verbal duel. 

With his hand holding the wine glass, Henry let out a relaxed chuckle. “I don’t think there is any worthy competitor in Hulcaster! Crystal, what do you think?” 

Crystal gave him a glance, a clear sign she wanted him to stop his nonsense. 

Henry inched nearer to her ear and whispered, “Oh? Are you worried about him?” 

Crystal whispered back, “Henry, you came all the way here to pick a bone with me, didn’t you? I just bumped into him here by chance. I didn’t do anything. There’s no need for you to behave in this manner!” 

“I’m jealous!” said Henry bluntly before he stared at her with his eyes ablaze. 

His brazenness while under the watchful eyes of the crowd was too overwhelming for Crystal, and she began to blush. 

The smile on Seth’s face gradually disappeared. 

Pete walked up to him with a glass of wine and taunted softly, “Look! Nobody is as shameless as Miller!” 

Seth said nothing and took a sip of his drink. 

The spicy taste of the liquor flowed down his throat and into his stomach. Its burning sensation was unpleasant, but it suited his current mood.

He glanced at the couple and uttered lowly, “I was wrong!” 

Pete had no idea what he was talking about.

When Seth was pursuing Crystal, it never crossed his mind that Henry would be so obsessed with Crystal. After all, Henry was a workaholic, and he did not care much about her back then. Nobody expected him to behave like that in the present moment. 

Seth knew he had not lost to Henry. 

It was time that had defeated him. 

Apparently, the first-come-first-served rule applied even in love. 

And so, Seth left quietly. 

The bustling banquet finally came to an end. 

With Henry hovering around her the entire night, no one dared to approach Crystal. 

When it was time to leave, Crystal asked, “Have you booked a hotel room yet? If not, I’ll get my secretary to book one for you!” 

Henry’s gaze was intent as he replied, “I’m staying with you!” 

Crystal ignored him and fiddled with her phone. “I’ll book one for you! I’ll be busy working these few days. I doubt I will have time to keep you company.” 

The very next moment, her phone was taken out of her hands. 

Henry said in all seriousness, “I won’t be a bother to you” 

To that, Crystal said nothing in response. She kept her eyes on the elevator door until it opened. 

Now that the banquet was over, lots of guests were leaving. In an instant, the elevator was packed to the brim. As a result, Crystal was pushed against the wall of the elevator, and it was uncomfortable for her. 

An arm reached out and brought her toward a man’s embrace. 

Crystal was taken aback. 

Henry…. 

Her face was pressed against his chest and separated by two layers of clothes. The moment she looked up. she could see his bobbing Adam’s apple. It was so sexy, 

Henry stared down at her with those dark and unfathomable eyes of his. 

She could sense desire stirring within that gaze, an inferno waiting to blaze to life. 

True enough, it happened the moment they arrived at her hotel room. 

His earlier elegant demeanor of a gentleman was nowhere to be seen. 

He pinned Crystal so firmly against the door that she could not get away. 

She turned her head away from him. “Henry, what are you doing? 

Henry brushed his fingers across her delicate face lightly. There was a hint of bitterness in that hoarse voice of his when he spoke. “Crystal, are you still mad at me because of Seth?” 

There was only silence. 

Perhaps a night like that was ideal for outbursts, for him and for her as well. 

She turned and looked at him before speaking softly yet firmly, “Henry, Seth has nothing to do with our relationship. The differences in our statuses are the issue! You knew I wanted to go to Ferropene back then. Every time you run back to Audrey, I can’t stand it. Not only can I not complain about it, but I must also leave Barnwood so that you can be with your first love. Is that fair? If this had happened between an average couple, a fight would have ensued. But no! We can’t because you are Henry Miller! The same thing happened with Seth and Mr. Murray. You have all the power because of your status. How about someone insignificant like me? Do I not have a say?” 

After her outburst, her eyes were filled with tears. 

In truth, it had crossed her mind that Henry could have been the reason why Zachary and Madison could not divorce back then. 

He had been waiting for Crystal to come to him. 

In the end, she begged him to help Madison, and he did. Thus, she had no wish to dig any further into the 

truth
