Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Is It Still Possible Between Us 

Henry had lived an unrestrained life. 

Yet, at that moment, an unprecedented sense of panic washed over him. For a moment, he felt as if he had lost something. 

He wanted to grab hold of Crystal, but unfortunately, she had already decided to let go. 

He had seen the diary and heard the voice recording. 

Nevertheless, what lingered in his mind the most was his attitude toward Crystal during this period: he allowed Lara to stay at the company; he abandoned her during Christmas to save Lara; he blamed her for being ruthless, and when he was given the cold shoulder, he allowed Lara to get near him to test his true feelings; and he, in a fit of rage, got into a scandal with a female celebrity.. 

Throughout it all, Crystal did not kick up a big fuss. In the end, she calmly signed the papers and finally gave up on the relationship. 

She did not want him anymore. 

“Crystal!” Henry called out to her as he walked over unhurriedly. 

Crystal stood frozen in place. Under the sunlight, her 52-carat diamond glittered brilliantly, leaving Henry’s eyes hurting badly. 

“I read the diary and heard the recording!” he said in a raspy voice.. 

There were so many things he wanted to tell her, but at that moment, he found it difficult to utter even a word. 

As much as he was a top lawyer in the country and was very eloquent in court, he was at a complete loss 

now. 

The overwhelming feelings he had heard in the recording were way more intense and passionate when compared to his relationship with Audrey back then.. 

After listening to that familiar voice-his voice- profusely express his love for a woman, he had to admit that he was inundated by astonishment. 

Hearing that, Crystal froze momentarily. 

Whoever, she recomposed herself quickly and only asked, “Where are they?” 

In a hoarse voice, Henry replied, “In the car!” 

“I’ll go with you to get them.” 

Crystal walked toward the cemetery entrance, brushing past Henry. The man grasped her slender wrist. unwilling to let go. 

“Crystal, you promised me that you’d not give up on me! I need time!” 

Crystal blinked, then lowered her gaze to her diamond ring. 

“Henry, did I not wait long enough? Or did I not give enough chances? I did promise you! But it never

crossed my mind that Lara would come into the piture, and richer have I thought she would be more ortant than me in your heart… Aus not to forget that female celebrity! He could never bear to 1 me like that if it were him!” 

Crystal was overwhelmed by fatigue as she finished speaking 

She forcefully pried his hand away and continued toward the cemetery entrance. The sun was shining brightly, and she found it piercing to the eye… 

Henry stood still without moving an inch. 

He fixed his gaze on that stone wall that wrote Henry & Crystal 

A sudden realization dawned upon him-he had not even had the chance to love her, but she had alrearly left her love for him there. 

News of Henry and Crystal’s divorce eventually still spread like wildfire, regardless of how the Millers tried to keep a low profile. 

Many major media outlets dared not report it explicitly, but they gave hints to suggest the rumor. 

Eventually, the one who affirmed the rumor was an outsider, none other than the woman who had a scandal with Henry previously. The best actress, Victoria Anderson, officially verified the divorce. 

She did so because she had the confidence. 

Victoria had met Henry’s wife, or more accurately, his ex-wife, and knew Crystal was a beautiful woman. The other day at the restaurant, Henry had ordered her a dessert in front of Crystal. 

She later overheard the couple talking about divorce and thought Henry was doing it because of her. After all, compared to ladies of prominent backgrounds, she was a lot more charming. Moreover. Crystal had given birth to two kids and definitely could not compare to her in terms of body figure. 

Victoria uploaded a post on Twitter: April is great, Mr. Miller! 

Attached with the post was a photo of her with Henry at a banquet. 

The moment the post was made public, it became a trending topic. 

About five minutes later, the post was being covered up, and subsequently, she deleted it. 

The netizens, however, were exhilarated. 

No one knew if the scandal involving Henry and Victoria was authentic. 

However, one thing they could be sure of was that Henry and Crystal were definitely divorced! 

For three entire days, news of their divorce spread across every social media platform. The Millers remained low-profile as usual, and neither did Crystal step forward to garner the netizens’ attention. 

After all, a divorce was nothing to be ashamed of 

She went to work and took care of the two kids as usual. Under her care, Skyler was protected from all the 

rumors too.

Many realized that Crystal was not heartbroken nor in low spirits due to the divorce. Instead, she looked much better than she did before. 

A banquet came to an end. 

The crystal chandelier at the hotel entrance was bright and dazzling. 

Dressed in a high-end gown, Crystal walked out alongside Ryan while discussing some matters related to the company. 

The late evening in April still felt somewhat chilly. 

Ryan gentlemanly draped the shawl in his hand over Crystal’s shoulders. “Miss Winters, it’s cold here. You should put this on!” 

Crystal broke into a faint smile. “Sure! Where were we?” 

Ryan smiled too. “The development project in the south!” 

Crystal cast her eyes down, falling into deep thought. “That’s a key project for the company. Come with me for the inspection next month.” 

Ryan’s heart skipped a beat. 

Observing Crystal’s calm and composed demeanor, he was full of admiration. 

She’s amazing! 

Crystal wanted to say more when someone stepped out of the car waiting for her. It turned out to be Henry. 

The man had been sitting in the car for a long time. 

As a man, he could clearly tell that Ryan’s eyes were filled with affection and adoration. Obviously, he was somewhat bitter about it. He felt even more terrible at the thought that he was the one who put Ryan beside Crystal! 

However, Crystal was not entirely surprised to see the man. 

After bidding goodbye to Ryan, she hopped into the car. Henry followed behind. 

“That’s not true! I don’t like her!” he burst out in a desperate tone. 

He had never intended to marry someone else. All that he had done back then was merely to anger Crystal. 

Nonetheless, Crystal was unfazed. 

She wound down the car window slightly and laughed lightly. “Given our current relationship, it no longer matters whether it’s true or not. Mr. Miller, I’ll surely bring you a monetary gift whenever you decide to get married again!” 

Her words sparked anger within Henry. How very generous of her, huh? 

He directed his gaze to the other side of the car and lit a cigarette. Not even two puffs later, he put it out.

“Are you planning to get married again?” he asked, slightly frustrated. 

Crystal gave it a thought. “Probably not! But who knows? Maybe I’ll meet a suitable man someday!” 

The first person that came into Henry’s mind was Ryan. 

They do look really intimate just now…. 

At the next junction. Crystal asked the man to get down, However, he claimed that he wanted to visit the two kids. 

Crystal fell silent. 

“Henry, I don’t care if you’re regretting it or if you’ve come to realize that you’re interested in me now. Let me be very clear with you. You’re allowed to meet the kids, but please don’t harass me physically or verbally… Otherwise, I doubt we can be an amicably divorced couple,” she uttered. “It’s getting late. Visit them another day.” 

She rejected his request as she knew that was not his real intention. A man and a woman alone in the dead of the night? I won’t be able to retaliate if he forces himself on me. 

In the end. Henry exited the car along the roadside. 

Joel praised Crystal for doing the right thing. He said it was only just for women to play hard to get. 

Crystal, however, felt mentally exhausted. 

As the night grew darker, the expensive black sedan rolled to a stop outside a standalone mansion. Upon exiting the car. Crystal wrapped the shawl around herself tighter. Under the warm yellow lighting, she headed upstairs to see her kids. 

It was all thanks to David that she could keep Skyler and Remi by her side. 

She was very grateful about that. 

As Remi was still young, he fell asleep right after eating. The housekeeper had taken great care of him. 

Crystal headed to Skyler’s room. 

Inside the pink children’s room, Skyler was lying in bed in her pajamas, face down. 

Crystal took off her heels and walked over to pat the young girl on her backside. 

Skyler flipped around to show her fair, chubby face. 

She touched Crystal’s dress and commented, “Mommy, you look great!” 

Crystal tucked the girl under the covers and gently asked, “It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep?” 

Skyler cuddled into her arms and softly replied, “I miss Daddy!” 

A pang of sadness struck Crystal 

“How about you give Daddy a call?” she said tenderly. 

Skyler’s face lit up at once.

There was no doubt that Skyler liked Henry 

The first thing she said was. “I miss you. Daddy!” 

She wanted to sleep with her father and place her tiny feet on her father’s belly as she thought i was warm and comforting to do so. 

Henry had just returned home 

He loosened his tie and solemnly asked. “Where’s your i
