Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 301 Henry Begins To Pursue Crystal 

Early the next morning, Remi was discharged from the hospital.

Crystal bent over slightly as she packed everything away.

Her waist was slender, and her spine curved in a seductive arc.

Henry could still remember the sensation of his hands on her.

Remi had been taken away by the nanny, leaving them both in the ward. Henry had something to say to her.

Placing his hands on her shoulders, he asked softly, “If I recover my memories, Crystal, is it still possible between us?”

Crystal stiffened visibly, for she could not answer it.

If she were to say yes, she would be undoubtedly giving him hope.

But if she were to answer no, she would be going against her heart.

Her prolonged silence gave Henry an idea of her answer.

He let go of his hands from her shoulders and said, “I’ll go and settle the discharge. procedures.”

Then, he left the ward.

Crystal looked at the things she was holding in her hands and spaced out for a long time.

After returning to the mansion, Remi recovered well.

In the ensuing month, Crystal spent most of her time taking care of him. Many documents were delivered to her house by Ryan and Edith.

Henry also visited often and would bump into Ryan at times.

He could tell that the latter had feelings for Crystal.

Perhaps it was because of his pride, but he never questioned her again. He merely went over frequently to keep Skyler and Remi company.

He was exceedingly diligent in visiting and spent even more time with the children than before the divorce.

Crystal did not object to him visiting the children, but she did not give him any opportunity.

He would always give her small gifts, either from his business trips or simply because he came across the item and found it suitable for her.

She locked them all in a drawer.

On that particular day, she saw Ryan off after discussing business with him.

When she returned to the standalone mansion, Henry was still there. He was sitting on the couch and flipping through a business magazine, acting so leisurely that it was as though he was at his own home.

Crystal quietly studied him for a few seconds..

She then sat on the couch across from him and said calmly, “You’re here every day. Don’t you have your own private life?”

She did not object to him interacting with the children, but she knew deep within that his behavior was abnormal.

It was obvious that he did not regard himself as an outsider.

Henry put the magazine in his hand down. He fixed his eyes on her for a long moment before countering in a seemingly casual manner, “Why, you want a private life?”

Crystal did not bother avoiding the subject. “We’re divorced. We both should have our own lives.”

Since she was being so candid, Henry could not quite throw a fit.

In the end, he left as it was getting late.

Weariness swamped Crystal.

It was late at night, and she slowly went upstairs.

She and Henry were divorced, but he was still everywhere and pervaded her life because of the two children. Yet, it was different from the past.

At the very least, there were no more absurd issues affecting her.

She stepped into the master bedroom and was about to strip to take a shower when she saw a champagne rose by her pillow.

That was Henry’s habit. He loved to pick a rose when he went jogging in the morning and placed it beside her pillow so that she would see it as soon as she woke up. The dew on it always reminded her of the pleasure they shared the night before.

She picked up the stalk of rose, feeling melancholic.

He doesn’t remember anything, so what’s the point of doing this?

At Seeas Corporation, Crystal was pretty relaxed since the company’s businesses had stabilized.

She had an indoor golf course built on the top floor.

Whenever she was free, she would play a few rounds.

As she was on her break, Edith came over and murmured, “Miss Anderson would like to meet you. Do you want to see her?”

Victoria?

Crystal smirked and took a sip of water. “I thought she never wanted to see me again.”

“For her to have attained her current status, she must be far smarter and adaptable than those celebrities with little renown,” Edith commented smilingly.

Crystal nodded slightly. “Let her in.”

A moment later, Victoria came in.

She did not bring her manager along but had come alone with a small cake box in her hand.

Crystal glanced at the cake in the woman’s hand, upon which a faint smile played on her lips. “I don’t invest in film and television. Could you be ingratiating yourself with the wrong. person, Miss Anderson?”

Victoria was very much sensible as she dressed plainly that day.

She placed an envelope on the table and said, “Here are five premiere tickets. Do come if you’re free, Miss Winters.”

Crystal did not turn her down outright.

Instead, she got to her feet and headed toward the golf course. Victoria was briefly stunned, but she tactfully followed soon after.

After Crystal took a few shots, Victoria complimented, “Your skills are impeccable, Miss

Winters!”

Toying with the white golf club, Crystal grinned. “Henry was the one who taught me the first time I played golf.”

Victoria was embarrassed.

Crystal took another shot before asking airily, “You want to be the ambassador of the high- end project in the south, yes?”

In a flash, mortification showed on Victoria’s face.

Crystal chuckled. “It depends on your performance. We’ll discuss it further if your box office sales are good.”

Victoria did not expect her to be so amicable and was taken aback for a moment.

Crystal managed to accomplish a hole-in-three.

She then stated thoughtfully, “Actually, few people truly bother me. You’re not one of them, Miss Anderson.”

In other words, Crystal agreed to give Victoria a chance.

Unexpectedly, Henry learned of it and gave her a call. “Are you that magnanimous, Miss Winters?”

When Crystal heard that, her temper spiked.

“Victoria has both money and status. She won’t do anything out of line, so why can’t I collaborate with her?”

Henry lowered his voice to a whisper. “By doing so, Crystal, you’ll make me feel as if you don’t care about me.”

There was nothing between him and Victoria, but there had been rumors about their relationship at the end of the day.

Nonetheless, Crystal was not bothered at all and even planned to attend Victoria’s premiere.

Crystal was silent for a moment before she said, “As I said, Henry, we should have our own lives. What I want is simple: a normal life and the kids’ well-being. I found that all that came easily after leaving you.”

Right after she said that, Henry went silent for a long time.

In the end, he hung up the phone.

Crystal didn’t feel too good either.

In truth, she had long since decided on Victoria for that high-end project. But as she said earlier, Victoria had to prove her market value to clinch the endorsement deal.

Because of that matter, things ended on a sour note for her and Henry.

In that week, he went over to visit the children twice, but they both missed one another, be it intentionally or otherwise.

On Saturday, Crystal went to the Miller residence with the two children.

Alfred had come over last night to visit the children, and David had suggested a family dinner.

No sooner had Crystal arrived in her car than Julia took Skyler away to play.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

David, on the other hand, happily took Remi.

Crystal went upstairs, only to bump into Alfred in the corridor on the second floor.

It was clear as day that he had spent the night there. Three buttons from the collar of his shirt were unbuttoned, and the hem was not tucked into his. pants.

No matter how one looked at it, he had evidently had a roll in the hay with some woman.

Crystal cast her eyes beyond him and saw that it was Melora’s room.

She shifted her gaze back to Alfred. “You made up with Melora, Uncle Alfred?”

Alfred’s expression changed slightly.

In truth, they had not made up. Melora had gone back to her room and wept upon returning home last night, making it clear that her relationship did not go well. He had gone over to comfort her and ended up getting intimate with her.

He had been celibate for a long time.

Coupled with the fact that they had countless experiences, things were inevitably intense.

Surmising the situation, Crystal was just about to speak when Melora opened the door.

She threw a man’s jacket out and cursed, “You old b*stard!”

Alfred was embarrassed, a wry smile curving his lips.

Melora soon noticed Crystal. She was actually two years older than her but was a tad afraid. of her.

“Crystal,” she greeted softly with red-rimmed eyes.
