Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 I Want You To Know 

After ending the call, Crystal saw Henry leaning against the door, gazing at her affectionately. 

She waved her phone. “That was Lara. She has already arrived at Hulcaster.” 

Henry approached her and bent down to kiss the tip of her nose. 

“I’ve given Remi his milk. He’s consuming two hundred and forty milliliters at the moment. The doctor advised that it’s time to start introducing supplementary food.” 

Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck. “What about Skyler?” 

“She’s eating breakfast downstairs,” Henry told her as he leaned in for another kiss. 

After sharing a prolonged kiss, he delicately held the tip of her finger and asked, “What type of wedding would you like?” 

Crystal chuckled softly. “We’ve been together for so long already. Are you still going to hold a wedding?” 

When Crystal left to wash herself up, Henry sat at the end of the bed and lit up a cigarette. However, instead of smoking it, he stared at it in silence until it burned out. 

He had sensed that Crystal still harbored reservations about him. 

Her decision to reconcile with him seemed largely influenced by Skyler and Remi, which he found completely understandable. 

However, Henry wasn’t satisfied with just that. 

He wanted Crystal to love him and to depend on him. 

When Crystal stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed Henry was smoking. 

She was surprised to see that. 

Henry gazed at her silently for a few moments before reaching out. “Come here!” 

Crystal went over as told. 

He pulled her into his embrace and whispered softly, “How about a date tonight, Crystal? I’ll demonstrate just how amazing a thirty-four-year-old man can be!” 

Crystal relaxed in his arms as she gently stroked his handsome brows. 

It looks like the previous incident gave him a heavy blow. 

She agreed to the date. 

Henry whispered into her ear, “I’ll make sure you cry tonight!” 

Crystal blushed prettily as she pushed him away and walked out of the bedroom. 

Downstairs, Skyler was busy eating when she saw her parents come down the stairs. 

They might have come down one after another, but it felt different now. 

Skyler hugged her father’s leg. “Are you staying with us from now on?” 

Henry picked her up and gave her a kiss before humming in acknowledgment. 

Skyler hugged him tightly in return. 

Observing how delighted the little girl was, Crystal beamed a gentle smile and scooped up Remi. So this is what a family feels like. 

Henry treated her well and took good care of their family. 

He made the decision to reduce his shares in the law firm. Instead of dedicating excessive time to socializing after work, he chose to invest his free time with Crystal and the children. They frequently embarked on outings together, and as a result, Skyler and Remi thrived. 

To the public, Henry was the perfect husband. 

Six months later, Crystal returned the management rights of Seeas Corporation to him. 

She found that, in comparison to running a business, she preferred a more tranquil life. Most importantly, Skyler and Remi required her care. As the children continued to grow, no matter how many housekeepers she hired, they could never replace the role of their parents. 

Many were surprised at her decision, as she had managed Secas Corporation well for almost 

two years. 

Madison was the only one who understood why. 

One day, she invited Crystal to their usual cafe hangout. When Crystal arrived, Madison couldn’t help but acknowledge that she was the most successful among their batch of girls. Crystal was affluent, had ample free time, and was a mother to a daughter and a son. 

Crystal had forty-five percent of Secas Corporation’s shares, and Remi was the heir of Miller Corporation. 

No one had a more fulfilling life than Crystal. 

However, Madison was the only one who dared to ask, “Crystal, did you get back together with Henry for Skyler and Remi’s sake?” 

Crystal flashed a smile. “Of course not. We’re doing well now.” 

Despite saying that, she stirred her coffee, looking a bit dazed. 

Yes, after some time, I’ve grown accustomed to Henry’s companionship. I almost forgot that he lost a portion of his memories. While our relationship may lack a crucial part, it doesn’t hinder us from living 

well. 

Henry had mentioned wanting another child, but she disagreed. 

She knew he was disappointed but didn’t voice his thoughts out loud. 

Technically, there was no problem between them, but Crystal could sense that their intimacy. had waned. He was occupied with his responsibilities, and she was occupied with looking. after the children. At times, she even slept with Skyler. 

Crystal spaced out quietly. 

Madison held her hand and asked softly, “Crystal, do you still love him?” 

Love? Of course I do, 

Crystal was still in a daze when her phone rang. It was a call from Henry. 

He should be heading home from work, as Crystal could hear the traffic noise in the background. His voice remained gentle, as usual. “I just got a call from Dad, and he mentioned that he took Skyler and Remi with him. Where are you? How about going to a concert?” 

Crystal told him, “I’m having coffee with Madison.” 

After a brief pause, Henry let out a soft chuckle. “Seems like you’re too busy to keep me company. Mrs. Miller, I’m feeling sorry for myself!” 

Madison quickly mouthed, I’m fine if you leave! 

However, Crystal thought that it had been some time since they last met. 

Upon Crystal’s return to the mansion, she found the hall brightly illuminated. A spread was laid out on the dining table, and it appeared that Henry had prepared it. 

sumptuous 

He was seated on the couch, engrossed in reading a finance newspaper. 

Despite hearing her footsteps, he didn’t look up. 

Crystal shrugged off her coat and sat down beside him. “Are you upset?” 

Placing the finance newspaper aside, Henry pulled her into his lap and kissed her, a hand wandering underneath her skirt. His voice was hoarse as he said, “You’re back late, Mrs. Miller. You’ve neglected me!” 

He had been too busy that it had been over ten days since they last had sex. 

They had a harmonious relationship. If Henry desired intimacy, Crystal would seldom 

refuse him. 

However, his actions grew bolder, as though he wanted to ravage her right there and then on the couch. Crystal stopped him and said softly, “The housekeepers will see us.” 

He nuzzled his nose against hers, his voice husky. “I’ve asked them to take a break from work. Besides, they’re not kids anymore. So what if they catch us? It’s perfectly normal for couples to have sex on the couch from time to time.” 

He was too insistent, so Crystal caved in eventually. 

Henry was thirty-five years old, a man in his prime. Clearly, having sex once wasn’t enough to satisfy his desires. 

After that, he brought her upstairs to the bedroom, where they had sex for a couple more. times. He finally stopped past midnight. 

The night was dark, and Crystal drifted into a restful sleep due to her exhaustion.. 

Henry had exerted a lot of energy and should feel tired, but he couldn’t fall asleep. 

He shut his eyes, recalling the video of Crystal back then. 

In truth, he wasn’t a lustful man who would force his wife to have sex with him. It was just that it had been some time since they reconciled, yet Henry could still detect that Crystal was holding back. 

Back then, she forgave him easily. 

They got back together and opted not to hold a wedding, choosing instead to live harmoniously. 

Yes, a harmonious life. 

It was not that leading a harmonious life was undesirable, as he was aware that ninety percent of married couples followed this path. They would raise their children together and 

engage in intimacy occasionally when they needed to release built-up tension. 

However, the more amicable their relationship became, the more Henry felt a sense of emptiness. 

He wasn’t certain if Crystal still loved him. 

Henry wasn’t the type to express his love every day. Regardless, he would shower her with gifts on her birthday, Valentine’s Day, and even the children’s birthdays, along with declarations of his affection. 

Nevertheless, she seldom reciprocated by saying she loved him. 

Henry had the urge to smoke, but he was aware that Crystal despised secondhand smoke, so he suppressed his craving. 

Lying behind her, he ran his hands across her body. 

After some time, his desire surged, leading him to have sex with her yet again. 

Throughout the ordeal, Crystal didn’t wake. up. 

Early in the morning, Crystal woke up. 

The couch was in disarray, strewn with their clothes, so she tidied it up. 

She was shy and didn’t want the housekeepers to talk about them in private. 

Henry was fastening his necktie as he descended the stairs. Upon noticing the now-empty couch, he let out a hearty chuckle. “The housekeepers won’t say anything even if they see that. You’re in your thirties, so why are you still as shy as a young girl?” 

Crystal prepared breakfast for him. 

Her expression was tender, indicating her good upbringing. 

Henry wrapped one arm around her and gave her a gentle kiss. “There’s an express letter for you on the coffee table,” he informed her. 

After that, he sat down and sipped on his coffee calmly. 

Crystal cast a glance at the express letter, which had arrived from Hulcaster. Inside, there was only a photograph of Lara. 

Lara was eight months pregnant, standing beside a shelf in the library. 

Her background was an elementary school in the outskirts. 

Crystal flipped the photograph and saw a letter addressed to her by Lara. 

Mrs. Miller, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for helping me secure this job. I love it, and it feels like I belong here. My current tranquil life brings me a sense of serenity unlike before. Moreover, I’ve found my life partner. He’s an upright man and also a teacher at this school. He’s willingly taken on the role of a father to my child, and we’ve officially registered our marriage. I can’t thank you enough for giving me this second chance. Mrs. Miller, you might not be aware, but when Mr. Miller agreed to assist me, I had hoped that my situation might somehow touch his heart or affect your relationship negatively. However, when his assistant informed me that you had graciously agreed to take me in and ensured the best treatment, tears of gratitude overwhelmed me. I had felt like a fool. This is goodbye, for real. I genuinely wish you nothing but happiness! Please take care! 

Crystal read the letter several times, her heart burdened with emotion. Despite the intimate. moments she shared with Henry the previous night, it wasn’t enough to alleviate the weight on her heart.
