Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Why Did You Come Back

Disgruntled, David demanded, “Isn’t this your house? Where do you think you’re going in the middle of the night?”

He had a bad temper and treated anyone and everyone in an imperious manner.

Others would have been afraid of him, but not Henry. In fact, Henry sounded even calmer as he replied. “I’m going back to go through some files.”

Having had enough of him, David waved his hand. “Hurry up and get lost. You’re just a lawyer who always has to clean up other people’s messes and is always busy.”

“I thought you knew that Miller Corporation spends eighty million a year to hire me as a legal advisor,” Henry responded mockingly.

David grabbed a paperweight and flung it through the air. “Get lost!”

Henry hightailed it out of the room. However, he had just gotten into his car when David followed him down, opened the car door, and admonished, “You’ve made it big now, haven’t you? Why are you still driving yourself back after having so much to drink? If you’re that capable, why don’t you fly a rocket into space?”

Hearing that, Henry got out of the car and handed the car keys to the driver..

The driver was one of the family’s older staff members. Noticing Henry’s bad mood, he dared not say much during the drive as he sent Henry back to his condominium.

When the car came to a stop, Henry leaned back in his seat and exhaled quietly before saying to the driver. “You should go back first.”

Feeling helpless, the man left.

Staying in the same position, Henry took out a cigarette and put it to his lips.

There was a bright flame as the lighter ignited. Then, holding the white cigarette between hist fingers, he slowly puffed away at it.

Even as the smoke entered his lungs and the pain hit him, he found the sensation enjoyable.

After smoking four or five cigarettes, he finally got down from the car and went into the condominium.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was dark inside. However, it was not completely

pilled into the room. It made for a rather romantic setting.

 

Henry tossed his jacket onto the couch before tiptoeing into the bedroom and turning on at bedside lamp.

Crystal was fast asleep. Her small, flawless face rested against the pillow, and her long, brown hair was spread all over. She looked too beautiful for words.
