Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Be My Real Wife 

After picking Skyler up, Henry got into the car and fastened his seat belt. 

“I’ve been so busy lately that I neglected Skyler a little. How about I take you all for a meal outside?” he suggested after giving it some thought. 

Crystal patted Skyler on the head. “What do you think, Skyler?” 

Skyler stretched her legs out and yawned lazily as she replied, “Daddy wants to have a candlelight dinner with Mommy.” 

The atmosphere grew awkward all of a sudden. 

Crystal couldn’t help but wonder how Skyler knew that much. 

Noticing Crystal staring at him through the rearview mirror, Henry said nonchalantly, “Kids these days know a lot of things, so it’s nothing to be surprised by.” 

Being the talkative girl that she was, Skyler then continued telling Crystal all about the stuff she had heard from her friend in kindergarten. 

Of course, she was talking about Christopher. 

Crystal felt a little worried and felt there was a need to talk to Henry about this. 

She feared that his behavior would rub off on Skyler and become a bad influence on her. 

Henry pulled up outside a restaurant about half an hour later. 

It wasn’t until Crystal got out of the car that she realized it was the Ferropenian restaurant she had invested in. 

She then glanced at Henry in surprise, only to have him say with a chuckle, “There are lots of cases where wives pay for their husbands’ meals. You wouldn’t mind treating me to a meal, would you, Crystal?” 

Crystal simply kept quiet. 

“Yes, I’ll admit that I did this on purpose. I just wanted to leave my mark on your life so everyone will know you’re my wife. That way, the other guys who like you will know to keep their distance!” Henry continued softly as they carried on walking. 

Crystal had predicted this long ago. “That’s not the case for me!” 

She was about to carry Skyler out of the car when Henry wrapped his arm around her waist. “Here, I’ll do it!” 

Skyler had a disdainful frown on her face when she got out of the car. 

All Daddy cares about is courting Mommy! Still, it’s kind of nice to walk while holding both their hands! 

Henry got what he wanted the moment they entered the restaurant. 

The employees and frequent customers there knew Crystal was married and had a child. 

Henry even started socializing with the employees there. 

Crystal decided to let him be and started teaching Skyler how to cut a piece of steak. 

Skyler was so good at it that Crystal couldn’t help but feel her heart melt when she watched from the side. All she wanted was for Skyler to live her life without being affected by her relationship with Henry. Although Skyler needed a lot of love and care, Crystal didn’t find it to be a burden at all. 

If anything, she believed it was a form of salvation. 

Henry was in a really good mood after staking his claim on Crystal. However, his mood was soon ruined when Seth showed up. 

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Seth had also brought his girlfriend along. Apparently, that girl was from a wealthy family in Hulcaster. 

Seth paused in his tracks when he saw them. “Mr. Miller! Crystal!” 

Since he had greeted them politely, Henry decided not to act rashly. 

Instead, he wrapped an arm around Crystal as he stood up and said, “Long time no see, Seth! Did you come here to dine with your girlfriend?” 

Seth nodded as he shifted his gaze toward Crystal and Skyler. 

That girl looks so much like Crystal! 

Unable to contain himself, he scooped Skyler into his arms and flashed her an affectionate smile. He was about to kiss Skyler when she beat him to it and gave him a kiss on the cheek. 

As Seth’s girlfriend walked up to them, Skyler gave her a kiss on the check too. 

‘She’s so adorable!” Seth exclaimed as he started to feel emotional. 

“Yes, she really is. Crystal and I are planning on having another child to keep her company,” Henry said 

with a smile. 

The look in 

is eyes turned gloomy when he heard that. 

Crystal, too, couldn’t help but wonder when she agreed to have another child with him. 

Not only did Henry invite Seth and his girlfriend to join them at their table, but he also had a peaceful chat with Seth about the economy before stepping outside for a smoke together. 

“You two sure are a sweet couple!” Seth’s girlfriend exclaimed in envy. 

Crystal simply flashed her a faint smile in response. 

Knowing Henry, she didn’t want to befriend Seth’s girlfriend. 

The best thing she could do for Seth was to maintain her distance from them. 

For the first time ever, the two men stood next to each other outside the Ferropenian restaurant and had a smoke peacefully. 

“Your girlfriend isn’t half bad!” Henry said while patting Seth on the shoulder. 

Seth blew a smoke ring and asked with a faint smile, “Are you trying to console me because I failed?” 

He then turned to face Henry as he continued, “Was it you who arranged that first deal I made when I went to Hulcaster back then?” 

Henry kept quiet and puffed away in silence. 

“Crystal hated me to death because of you. She genuinely saw you as a friend!” he said with a wry smile after a long pause. 

Henry was still bothered by it even to this day. 

He knew deep down inside that Crystal never liked Seth at all. Seth was only able to keep her company because Henry went overboard and screwed things up, so he had only himself to blame. 

That was why he decided to make it up to Seth. 

Having finished smoking his cigarette, Seth tossed it on the ground and crushed it beneath his feet. 

Henry had taught him one simple lesson in life-courting a woman without first being capable would only make one a burden to her. 

He then walked toward the restaurant while Henry watched from behind.. 

He couldn’t help but realize how much Seth resembled him many years ago. 

Everyone said goodbye and went their separate ways after the meal. 

Crystal had been very quiet on the drive home, 

Not wanting to talk about it in front of Skyler, Henry suppressed his curiosity and kept his thoughts to himself. 

Skyler had fallen asleep by the time they got out of the car. 

Henry had a gentle look in his eyes as he carried her out of the car while Crystal followed closely behind. 

He then carried Skyler into her room and gently lay her down on the bed. 

Crystal helped her change into her pajamas and wiped her tiny limbs clean. 

Henry walked up to her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his chest against her back as he said, “Let’s talk, okay?” 

Crystal turned her head slightly. “About what?” 

“About Seth. I’m jealous here, Crystal!” 

When he returned to the restaurant and saw how distant Crystal and Seth’s girlfriend were, he knew that it was Crystal’s way of protecting Seth. He also knew that Seth was, to a certain degree, doing the same for 

her. 

Naturally, Henry got incredibly jealous when he saw that. 

As he wasn’t the type to beat around the bush, he decided to just voice his thoughts in a direct and straightforward manner. 

“Why are you bringing up something that’s in the past? Besides, it has always been impossible for me to get together with him!” Crystal replied with a faint smile. 

After running his hands all over her body, Henry scooped her up and carried her back to the master bedroom.
