Did You Miss Me In The Night
The instant Crystal swung her gaze over, Madison was gripped by the urge to make a break for it.
Gosh, how would I have known Henry would suddenly show up when he has never had much regard
for Zachary?
Out of guilt, she arranged for Crystal to be seated far away from Henry as much as possible.
Unfortunately, Henry simply had to stir up trouble.
No sooner had Crystal shrugged her jacket off and taken her seat than the man strolled over and
jerked his chin up a fraction.
At once, the people around her tactfully moved away.
Following that, Henry openly sat down right beside her.
About everyone in the private room knew that the two of them had dated in the past. As such, they all
kept silent.
Henry remained as relaxed as ever.
Reclining against the couch, he nonchalantly asked Crystal, “How have you been these days?”
With her eyes pinned on the LCD screen, Crystal tried to answer in a casual manner so she would not
appear too petty and make him misunderstand that she could not forget him.
“Pretty good.”
In response, Henry chuckled lowly.
“I’m glad to hear that. Then, it’s considered a wise decision for us to break up,” he remarked,
Crystal said nothing to that.
In truth, she still had feelings toward him upon seeing him again.
She did not want to speak to him too much, afraid he would notice something as his eyes were too
sharp.
Subsequently, everyone in the same circle gathered together boisterously,
Henry joined in the fun while Crystal merely sat there and scrolled through her phone. She vaguely
heard them playing truth or dare, during which a girl boldly confessed to the man.
It went without saying that the girl ended up rejected.
Crystal felt rather bored. The fact that she was seated next to Henry, in particular, made her feel
uneasy.
Just as she was about to excuse herself to the restroom, a ringtone started blaring in the private room.
It was Zachary’s phone, and the caller was none other than Clementine.
His phone rang again and again until he answered the call.
Considering the occasion then, Madison had no choice but to leash her temper.
When Crystal saw that the latter still wanted to stay married to Zachary, she heaved a muted sigh and
asked Madison to accompany her to the restroom.
The two of them washed their hands side by side.
After much contemplation, Crystal ventured softly. “They’ve been keeping in touch?”
Madison’s eyes were red–rimmed.
Taking out a long and slender light cigarette from her bag, she lit it with a shaky hand.
She took a deep breath before turning to Crystal.
“Zachary is rotten to the core. He bought a condominium and kept Clementine there. I checked. the
bank statements, and he’s spending two to three million on that b*tch every month.”
Hearing that, words cluded Crystal.
Conversely, Madison snickered indifferently.
“I suppose I’ve reached a tacit understanding with him. If I turn a blind eye to him, our relationship can
still be quite amicable. He’s also being more generous with me now. Don’t follow in my footsteps,
Crystal. You deserve a man who loves you.”
Crystal gently patted her on the shoulder. “No matter what, come to me if you need anything.”
“I definitely will.”
Smiling, Madison bumped her fist against Crystal’s shoulder.
Right then, Zachary strode over with his phone in hand, the look on his face unnatural.
Madison sniggered coldly. “You want to go and keep that woman company even on such a day as our
wedding anniversary, Zachary? Is she really that precious? You’ve probably never seen how she
looked when she spread her legs and seduced Robert.”
Zachary merely stared at Madison fixedly.
Indeed, she’s beautiful. Regretfully, she’s too delicate. We’ve been married for two years, but she’s
adamant about not having a child for fear of losing her figure. Clementine, however, is different. She’s
willing to give birth to a child for me. In fact, she’s now pregnant and loves to eat sour things. As such,
it must be a boy!
For that oppostason, he was determined to go and keep Clementine company no matter the
Nonetheless, he did not dare speak the truth and made up an excuse instead. “Something came up at
the office. I’ll be back in no time.”
Needless to say, Madison did not believe such an excuse.
Alas, she could not make him stay. At his unwillingness to remain by her side despite it being their
wedding anniversary, her disappointment in him reached an all–time high.
She gazed at him quietly.
In the end, she queried. “Must you really go. Zachary?”
Feeling a touch guilty. Zachary grunted in affirmation.
All of a sudden, Madison laughed and flipped her long hair lightly. “Okay, go ahead, then.”
Zachary instantly rushed into the elevator as though the hounds of hell were nipping at his heels.
When he had left, Madison’s lips started quivering. Her entire body likewise trembled uncontrollably.
“How did he turn into such a person, Crystal?”
“Do you want to have a divorce?” Crystal questioned in a murmur.
With her eyes red–rimmed, Madison shook her head.
She took out her phone and made a call.
“Charles, I’m at the clubhouse. I’m slightly tipsy. Will you come and drive me home? Yeah, Zachary left
to keep someone else company. I’m all alone now.”
At that, a chill ran down Crystal’s spine.
She tugged at Madison. “What are you doing?”
Madison gently took Crystal’s hand away. A hint of resolution was etched on her beautiful yet pale face.
“J’know exactly what I’m doing, Crystal. Charles likes me. He pursued me for a long time during
university,”
“But a relationship between you both is no longer possible.”
“I know. But I can obtain pleasure from him.”
That rendered Crystal at a loss for words.
In no time, Charles arrived. Madison nestled in his arms, looking as pretty as a picture.
However, Crystal knew that she was crying inwardly.
Well, I can’t do anything about it. Perhaps this is the worst things can be.
Madison made a grand affair of things.
She went back to the private room with Crystal and openly left with Charles after retrieving her jacket.
For a moment, everyone present went silent.
Even a fool would be able to see that Madison and Zachary’s marriage had reached its end.
Crystal did not want to stay any longer. Returning to her seat with her body slightly bent, shet retrieved
her things and made to leave.
Out of the blue, a hand grabbed hers.
Henry’s hoarse voice drifted into the air. “Stay and have fun for a while.”
Crystal was still feeling sad for Madison, so her voice was slightly choked. “I want to go home now.”
With a cigarette in one hand. Henry forcefully pulled her down to sit beside him with the other.
In the next second, someone declared, “Henry got the truth option and can ask anyone three.
questions.”
Following that, Crystal’s heart jolted.
Henry bore his eyes into her. “I would like to put my questions to you, Miss Winters.”
“I’m not playing the game,” Crystal declined.
As Henry took a deep drag of the cigarette, his cheeks sunk in, rendering him incredibly alluring.
“I’m allowed to ask anyone in the private room.”
Crystal’s temper spiked, but she did not want to kick up a fuss.
She pursed her lips in resignation.
Henry stared at her intently, his voice measured and hoarse.
“My first question is this–do you have a boyfriend?”
“No.”
“My second question is this–is there someone you like?”
Crystal refused to answer that, but someone started scoffing at her.
“What a coward, Crystal!”
White–hot rage blazed within Crystal, and she bit her lip hard.
She swung her gaze at Henry.
Unexpectedly, he was wearing a grin on his face instead of feigning solemnity and aloofness as usual.
“Yes,” she hissed begrudgingly.
At once, everyone fell silent.
Henry’s eyes were fixed on Crystal’s lovely profile. His voice turned even more tender. “My third
question is this did you ever miss me in the night during this time we’ve been apart?”
Finally, Crystal snapped, “You’re crossing the line, Henry.”
She was very much animated when she was mad.
Consequently, a smile curved Henry’s lips.
Leaning back against the couch, he chuckled. “It’s good to be angry. It’s far better than your looking as
though on the verge of tears.”
Unbidden, shock flooded Crystal.
Henry pressed her hand lightly and whispered, “Don’t leave. Wait for a while longer.”
That had Crystal somewhat puzzled.
Lifting his hand off hers, Henry picked up his mug and stated mildly, “Zachary will be back.”
