Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 Let Us Have A Child 

Their figures, embraced by the dim lighting, cast long shadows on the ground. 

No one spoke as they stared at each other. 

For a long while, Crystal’s words reverberated inside Henry’s mind. 

The father of my two children… 

past deeds. 

He had always known the only reason Crystal was willing to reconcile with him was to provide Skyler and Remi with a complete family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ever forgiven him for his However, he still minded it whenever she stated something that implied she didn’t like him. Eventually, Henry spoke hoarsely. “It’s quite cold outside. Why aren’t you wearing your coat?” He stepped forward and thoughtfully laid the coat on Crystal and buttoned it. 

Meanwhile, Crystal stared at him, wanting to say something but believing it wasn’t necessary. 

Clementine was watching them from the side, and her jealousy had peaked. Why? Why does Henry still love Crystal, even knowing she doesn’t like him? 

When Henry left with Crystal, Clementine couldn’t help but clamor, “She doesn’t deserve you, Mr. Miller!” 

Henry slowly turned back to stare at Clementine. 

His countenance appeared even more intimidating under the light as he spoke coldly. “You should be grateful that Crystal is a kind woman, Miss Dynah. Do you think you could’ve attended this gathering otherwise?” 

If Crystal didn’t want Clementine to receive anything, Henry would ensure that. 

Clementine was in disbelief. 

While she had lost one round to Crystal, it was because of Alfred. Now that she and Crystal were both filming, she was confident she could win against Crystal 

Watching the couple leave, she grinned. I think I’ve found a breakthrough. 

At that moment, Madison approached her, leaning against the wall with a sneer. “Are you cooking up a dastardly plan again?” 

Clementine abruptly turned around to face Madison. 

Madison was her mortal enemy. Back then, when she attempted to seduce Zachary, she kept failing because Zachary favored Madison more and refused to divorce. Eventually, she was forced to resort to getting pregnant, yet in the end, she still lost everything. 

As for the child, she had given it away. 

Clementine lifted her chin, snorting. “Just you wait and see!” 

Madison cared not about Clementine because she knew Clementine was no match for Crystal, who had spent years in the business industry.

It was just a matter of whether Crystal wanted to crush Clementine or not. 

Downstairs, Henry opened the car door for Crystal. 

After she entered, he didn’t shut the door. Instead, he simply gazed at her. 

Fastening her seatbelt, Crystal uttered, “If you want to argue with me, wait until we’re home.” 

Moments later, Henry shifted his sight away and closed the door. 

He proceeded to speed on the road, discomforting Crystal, but she endured it. 

Half an hour later, they arrived at the condominium. 

Neither of them wanted their argument to disturb the children, especially Skyler, who was extremely sensitive. 

Under the moonlight, the couple strolled into the condominium, one after the other. Henry was still furious even as he recalled their previous intimate moments there. 

He pinned Crystal to the door, speaking in a low tone. “Crystal, am I really not worth your love anymore? Won’t you fight for us one last time?” 

Crystal was feeling tired. “Let’s remove our shoes and talk inside.” 

Unfortunately for her, he refused to budge, still pressing her against the door and glowering at her. 

Crystal slowly straightened her body and smiled faintly. 

“I didn’t take you to be this dense, Henry! Do you not know anything, or do you think I never tried before? Yes, I allowed myself to be trapped in this marriage for the children. What else could I have done? Do you expect me to watch Skyler be unhappy or for Remi to lack parental attention? I’ve done my best to fulfill your requests! You wanted me to see a psychologist, and I attended the sessions. You wanted another child, and I gave you one! Is that still not enough? Are you the greedy and unsatisfied one, or am I, Henry?” She blurted everything she had wanted to say for a long time. “After experiencing so much, my expectations. are practically non-existent, but you’re different. You still desire unadulterated love from me. Too bad for you, I’m already broken after all these years. You can’t expect me to still act like an innocent, pure woman after enduring so much hardship!” 

Henry’s gaze darkened further at her words. 

Then, he slowly released Crystal. “Do you really mean what you say, Crystal? Can you never love me like you used to anymore?” 

Crystal smiled, though it was more of a grimace than anything. I don’t want to argue with him. He was the one who told me he was willing to stay by my side until the end, but his promise only lasted for days. 

Calmly, Crystal responded, “If you truly want love, you should find that in other, younger women. Someone who’s willing to pour their heart out for you see now. I’m the only one who’s satisfied with this plain marriage of ours. That’s why I’m willing to let go. 

A stern look swirled in Henry’s eyes as he lost his composure. Grabbing a vase, he smashed it to the ground. 

That blue vase was one Crystal had handpicked back then, on the day after they had sex, Blinking, she recalled how gleefully she had decorated their home, yet he smashed that vase as though it were nothing

As such, Crystal pushed him away and tried to leave. 

However, Henry hugged her from behind with one arm and dragged her into the living room. Then, he carried her into the bedroom, took off their coats, and kissed her neck. 

Crystal thought he would lose control, but he merely pressed his lips to her warm neck. 

He muttered, “Don’t say things like that to me again, Crystal” I won’t seek out other young women. I only want 

her. 

Crystal shifted her sight away, her face rubbing on the white pillow as she teared up. 

Following that, he started smooching her, from her eyebrows to her body. 

She merely endured his forced affection. 

Abruptly, Henry whispered in her ear, “How about we have another child, Crystal?” 

His idea was that if she was pregnant, they wouldn’t have time to think about their messy affairs, and things might return to normal. 

Crystal wasn’t as optimistic. 

In the past, she would’ve shared the same sentiment as Henry. 

However, she no longer believed that a new child could solve their problems. 

Crystal began ingesting birth control pills regularly. 

It had minimal impact on her body, and she could still have children in the future if she wanted. She didn’t tell Henry about it, fearing he would overthink things. 

Sometimes, she’d think the one sick in the head was Henry. 

The days went by quick. 

Neither of them brought up the argument they had that day afterward. Henry still acted as though they were a loving couple, tending to her inside and out of their home. 

Additionally, he would have sex with her at least five days per week. 

Henry wanted Crystal to be pregnant with his child, so he paid even more attention to her period than she did. Whenever the right time arrived, he would drag her into bed and copulate with her until he believed she would become pregnant. 

Two months later, Crystal’s abdomen was still flat. 

Crystal’s birthday in November was quite lively. 

During the night, she returned to the bedroom after bathing. 

Gifts from her family and friends sat on the foot of her bed. 

Crystal picked up a pink letter written by Skyler and Rei, which included a childish drawing. As Crystal read the letter quietly, warm affection for her children swirled in her.

Crystal opened another present, revealing an expensive gift inside. 

It was an exquisite locket that she estimated cost at least fifty million. 

She was deep in thought as she speculated about who gifted it to her.
