Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 It Will Not Hurt The Baby 

Late at night, when Crystal returned to the master bedroom after putting Skyler to bed, Henry was nowhere to be seen. 

In the end, she found him in the study. 

It was pitch dark, yet he did not turn on any lights. 

He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, pulling away quietly. As he did so, the cigarette. smoke was carried away in the wind. 

It scattered before fading into the night. 

Crystal closed the door behind her before walking over and hugging the man from behind. “You’re still dwelling upon it, Henry?” 

Ever since leaving the monastery, he had been sullen and moody. 

It was clear as day that he was very much bothered by that abbot’s words. 

Patting the hand she had wrapped around his waist, Henry snubbed out the cigarette and fibbed lowly, “No. Don’t overthink things.” 

With her cheek plastered against his back, Crystal cajoled, “If so, cheer up, okay? That abbot’s words might not be true. Perhaps he merely made them up.” 

Henry whirled around and chuckled softly. 

He caressed her belly. “Has the baby been behaving?” 

Crystal threw him a look. “The baby is only a little over a month old, so that’s a moot point.” 

Gathering her into his arms, Henry dropped a kiss on her hair. “I’ll keep our baby company as he’s brought into the world and watch him grow up, Crystal. I won’t let you leave again.” 

Crystal listened as she nestled in his embrace. 

Since she had been with him for a long time, she could naturally perceive that he was still. tense inwardly. 

Hoping to please him, she tilted her head back and kissed his chiseled jaw before moving. down to his neck. Ultimately, her warm breath kindled the fire within him. Besides, it was rare for her to be so proactive. 

Henry grasped her long hair gently, his gaze dark with desire.

He wanted her, but he had to consider their unborn baby. 

After having been teased for a long while, he finally snapped. Scooping her up, he placed her on the massive desk lightly. A touch scared, Crystal hugged him tightly around the neck. “Henry!” 

In the darkness, Henry leaned down and captured her lips. 

Crystal wanted to move, but he stopped her from doing so. Interlocking his fingers with hers, he kissed her, his lips gradually traveling downward. 

“Henry…” 

Crystal’s voice was already quivering. 

She had only experienced such a feeling once, and it was on that snowy night when the man. placed her on the piano. That was a night she would never forget in her entire lifetime. 

Henry persuaded her, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. “Don’t be afraid. It won’t hurt the baby!” 

Admittedly, that abbot’s words made him uneasy. As such, he needed to do something right then to ease the turmoil within him. 

A long time passed, seemingly an eternity. 

Henry straightened before dipping his head and capturing her lips. 

Crystal’s body was still trembling slightly. She allowed him to kiss her as he pleased, savoring the taste of her passion with him. 

A chill lingered in the night air. 

Inches away from each other, the breaths the couple exhaled were scorching even as their bodies intertwined. 

Crystal rested against his shoulder, asking in a quivering and tearful voice, “Are you feeling better now?” 

In response, Henry grunted nonchalantly. 

Leaning close to her ear, he inquired in a hoarse and low voice, “Did you feel good earlier?” 

Crystal could not bring herself to respond to that. 

Henry hugged her quietly. A long time passed before he murmured in her ear when she was. about to fall asleep, “I love you, Crystal!”

2/5 

Crystal felt a spark of fire shooting through her, the warmth traveling to the depths of her 

heart. 

Henry and Crystal’s wedding was scheduled for a month later. With Julia and Melora making the arrangements, Crystal was very much relaxed. Like before, she only needed to take good care of Skyler. 

On the contrary, Henry was rather busy. 

He wanted to settle everything at hand and free up a month to travel around with Crystal. 

Naturally, they would also be bringing Skyler along. 

He was dealing with work matters when Jamie pushed open the door and stepped in with at stack of financial reports. 

At her presence, he merely raised his eyes a fraction. “Just put it down.” 

However, Jamie remained motionless. 

A tad surprised, Henry took the financial reports from her. When he saw they were of Adroit Law Firm, he was inexorably disconcerted for a moment. 

Three years ago, he retired from the legal profession. 

Nevertheless, he was the one who founded Adroit Law Firm, and he was still the only major shareholder. 

He should have long since let go of his shares, but he had not done so. 

He flipped open the financial reports and scanned through them for a while before saying to Jamie in a low voice, “Issue a statement for me and sell off my shares if the price fits.” 

Jamie nodded, a sliver of sorrow creeping into her. 

That law firm was single-handedly founded by Henry and won many sensational cases both. within the country and abroad back then. When it was at the peak of its glory, an appointment for his services could be months later, and it was even more difficult than scheduling a date with medical experts at the hospital. 

Shortly after, Jamie left the office. 

Henry sat there quietly, flipping through the financial reports. The reason he made such a quick decision was actually due to the abbot’s words. 

Only he knew how many reprehensible things he had done in a bid to win those lawsuits back then, obtaining fame and sky-high commissions.

As turmoil brewed within him, the phone on his desk rang. 

It was a call from a particular detention center, and the person was exceedingly courteous. “Am I intruding on you, Mr. Miller?” 

Figuring that it had something to do with Audrey, Henry exchanged some pleasantries with 

him. 

The other person paused briefly before getting to the point. “Miss Quinn wants to see you before she dies, Mr. Miller. Would that be possible?” 

Henry’s hand tightened around the phone as fury blazed through him. 

He lowered his voice to a hiss. “She attempted to kill my daughter. What do you think?” 

The other person likewise found it inappropriate. He apologized before hanging up the phone. 

Henry hurled the phone away.
