Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Give Me A Child 

Once they were done, they felt rather uneasy. 

That was especially the case for Crystal because she thought they were not cut out for rough sex. 

Yet, they had already done it. 

At that moment, she was slightly sweaty and feeling uncomfortable. When she moved to take a bath, Henry pressed her down gently and said, “Stay with me for a while.” 

Crystal did as she was told. 

Afterward, he leaned toward her and kissed her earlobe. In a passionate tone, he asked, “Could you please stop behaving so coldly toward me?” 

With that, he grabbed the trousers at the foot of the bed, and the small box inside rolled out. 

Crystal knew what he was trying to do, so she tried to get out of bed again. “I need to take a bath!” 

Henry pulled her into his embrace and whipped out a diamond ring. “This is a fifty-two carats diamond! Do you like it?” 

Once he finished his sentence, he stared at her intently. 

Crystal took the diamond ring and tried putting it on her middle finger. Obviously, it wouldn’t fit. 

“It’s too small for me. It won’t fit!” She flashed a smile. 

Henry’s gaze darkened slightly when he said, “Perhaps it’ll fit your ring finger perfectly! Give it a try!” 

Crystal knew Henry was acting odd because it was rare for him to please a woman and behave submissively. If she were wise enough, she would happily accept his gift and get married to him immediately. However, that’s something the old me would do. In fact, prior to this Eastamor, I would have accepted his proposal in a heartbeat. Now, he’s still as dashing and attractive, but I no longer feel that tay about him. 

Right when Crystal was about to reject him, she recalled something and bit her tongue. We had a wild night, and he didn’t use protection. 

With that in mind, Crystal placed the ring in the box and closed it. 

After a moment of silence, she uttered, “It’s not my safe period now.” 

Henry understood what she meant. While blushing, he let out an uncomfortable cough and said, “There’s no need to take a morning-after pill. I didn’t…” 

Crystal remained unconvinced. 

Although she wasn’t a religious person, she believed that if she were to get pregnant, she wouldn’t get an 

abortion. 

Henry didn’t want her to take the morning-after pill, so she decided to head out to buy the pill herself. 

In the end, he gave in and said, “All right. I’ll buy the pill for you.” 

Crystal gave a slight hum in acknowledgment. “Thank you!” 

Henry was annoyed by her polite demeanor. 

As he was getting dressed, he pinched her chin and uttered in a bitter tone, “At times, I think you’re merely pretending not to like sex. When we were in the middle of it, you looked like you were enjoying yourself. Afterward, however, you would act otherwise!” 

Henry was being blunt, and Crystal didn’t want to yield, so she pulled the blanket away there and then and walked toward the bathroom. After she closed the bathroom door behind her, she exclaimed, “I’ve never pretended not to like sex. I admit I enjoyed it!” 

Henry was aroused at once. Oh! That woman is killing me! 

He then put on a shirt and went downstairs to buy the contraceptive pill. 

When he returned. Crystal had already finished taking her bath and gone through her skincare routine. She was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the view outside. 

Henry closed the door, poured her a glass of water, and gave the pill to her. 

When Crystal was taking the pill, Henry gazed at her and asked softly, “Crystal, are you really not giving me another chance? Am I not worthy enough?” 

Crystal froze momentarily before swallowing the pill. 

A bitter taste lingered in her mouth. 

In the next moment, Henry hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Crystal, I want to be a father! It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl. I want to have a child with you, and I hope our child will have your brown hair and fair skin. I’ll cherish and protect our child!” 

Crystal stiffened. 

Henry then caressed the back of her ear and added in an even gentler tone, “Have a child with me, Crystal! That’s what I want!” 

Right then, Henry’s phone rang and interrupted the intimate atmosphere. 

It was a call from David, and he ordered sternly, “Henry, return to Barnwood this instant. Melora tried. taking her own life by taking three sleeping pills. Your mom is bawling uncontrollably! Apparently, Robert is cheating on your sister, and his mistress even came over to kick up a fuss!” 

Henry was feeling rather helpless. Three sleeping pills? Did she think she could kill herself that easily? Yet, this issue has to be resolved. I bet Crystal is part of the reason Dad is so agitated. It’s just that he chose to keep it to himself. 

With that in mind, Henry pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and said, “I’m going back to Barnwood!” 

Crystal had heard Henry’s conversation with his father, and she liked Melora. Hence, she said, “Go keep her company!” 

Henry froze and looked at her with a half-smile on his face. After a while, he asked, “Oh? Do you care about her so much?” 

Crystal didn’t want to respond to that, so she got into bed and shut her eyes. 

Perhaps due to her exhaustion, her actions seemed fragile and weak. 

Henry couldn’t help but approach her to give her a kiss. He then grumbled softly, “Did we have so much. fun that your knees have gone weak?” 

Crystal threw a pillow at him in annoyance. 

Chuckling softly, he reached into the blanket to tease her. “You’re still putting on an act! I know how much you enjoyed yourself just now. Why are you acting otherwise? If I were to leave you, you would surely miss having such a stud like me to please you!” 

It had been a long while since the last time he joked around with her that way. All of a sudden, Crystal fell into a daze because she was reminded of their time together back then. 

Henry seemed to have recalled something similar, so he composed himself and gave her a peck on the lips. “I’ve got to go! Don’t go looking for Seth!” 

Henry took his private plane back to Barnwood. 

The moment he entered the Miller residence, he sensed the distress in the air.. 

The sight of Henry made the beautiful and loving Julia feel as if her savior had arrived. She went up to him and whispered, “Have a word with your sister. She hasn’t eaten anything today, and she even took three sleeping pills!” 

“Everything will be okay. I’ll check on her!” Henry consoled his mother.
