Crystal froze.
“I’m not saying these to gain your sympathy,” Henry said hoarsely, “but I want to tell you that if you
come back to be Skyler’s mother, you’ll never have time for yourself again, like me. Do you still want to
be Skyler’s mother?”
Those words caused a wave of sadness to wash over Crystal.
How could she not want Skyler?
She stared at him, her chest heaving. She did not know what to say.
Henry reached out and caressed her face gently.
He knew she must be feeling awful, but he thought she should know because it was exhausting to raise
a child, and he was worried she would blame him.
If I didn’t leave for the Kingdom of Brundela, she might still be sleeping upstairs, and maybe Skyler
wouldn’t have been born weak.
Crystal did not speak for a long time, nor did she push him aside. Being parents at a time like this, they
needed warmth and support from one another more than ever.
Henry withdrew his hand. “Go on,” he said gently. “I have a meeting to get to and will come by another
day. You can pick Skyler up this afternoon. I’ll pick her up tonight.”
“Okay,” she said and got out of the car hurriedly, not knowing what she was running from.
Was it Henry’s gentleness, or was it the unbearable pain of the past?
Crystal was visibly distracted. She almost cut herself while peeling some fruits.
Leaning against the bed, Anna chuckled. “Put it down. You will cut yourself if you keep going!”
Crystal lowered her hand. “Mom!”
Anna beckoned her to go over. “I only found out about Skyler this year,” she said gently as she grabbed
Crystal’s hand. “Henry brought her to Coldbridge. Everyone was so worried about how tiny she looked.
Your granny cried for a long time, and Henry knelt by her side the entire night.”
Crystal leaned her head closer to Anna.
Anna caressed her head and continued, “Your uncle said he wanted you to have more choices instead
of being with Henry for the sake of the child. That was why he didn’t turn the Hudsons down when they
asked him to set you up with their son. I guess what I’m saying is to go with your heart, but don’t rush
to make a decision. You two have broken up several times, after all.”
Crystal nodded. “I will give it some serious thought, Mom.”
All she wanted to do was to raise Skyler well.
Anna smiled. “Bring her over tomorrow. I haven’t seen the girl in a long time, and I miss her so much.
She looks exactly like you when you were a child, but her temperament is a lot like Henry’s. She’ll be a
real terror when she grows up.”
Crystal’s heart softened at the thought of Skyler.
After spending half the day with Anna, she took a taxi to pick up Skyler at half past three that afternoon.
Skyler was so proud to see Crystal at the kindergarten entrance that she held her head high.
Crystal took her schoolbag and bent down to wipe her sweat. “I’m going to work at the restaurant later.
Would you like to have Ferropenian food with me?” she asked with a tender smile.
Skyler blinked her beady eyes.
“Are you broke, Mommy? Daddy has plenty of money!” she said in her piping voice.
Crystal kissed her. “I own the restaurant. Occasionally, I play the piano there too.”
Skyler grew excited at once.
She asked to be held, then wrapped her hands around her mother’s neck.
Mommy smells so good!
Crystal brought Skyler to the Ferropenian restaurant.
Crystal asked for a seat near the piano, settled Skyler into a chair, and ordered a decent Ferropenian
meal.
Skyler usually dawdled over her meals.
Crystal cut her steak into little pieces, which she ate with a little fork, looking very refined as she did so.
Crystal watched her and marveled at the power of Henry’s genes.
After ensuring that Skyler was comfortable, she took a seat at the piano. Perhaps due to her buoyant.
mood, the tunes she played that day were exceptionally touching.
Skyler rested her head in her hands and gazed at her mother’s slender waist and her straight back. Her
brown hair looked particularly lovely as it cascaded down her shoulders. Her long skirt, too, looked
beautiful.
The mothers of the other children from the kindergarten are not as beautiful as mine!
Skyler stabbed another morsel of steak with her fork and ate it with gusto.
After playing about ten songs, Crystal came back for a bite. Women, being vain creatures, tend to limit.
their caloric intake during dinner.
She glanced at the time. It was eight o’clock.
Hmm… Children of Skyler’s age typically go to bed at nine.
Crystal was about to call Henry when a slender figure appeared at the dining table. “Crystal.”
Crystal froze.
Ewan?
Ewan was the man Alfred had set her up with the other day. After she turned him down, he was the last
person she expected to see.
Crystal was clever enough to deduce that that was not a chance encounter.
Just as she was trying to think of a way to keep her distance, Skylar called out affectionately, “Hey,
Handsome!”
Ewan was amused by the child addressing him in such a manner. He sat down and asked, “Is this a
child of your relative? She’s adorable.”
Crystal smiled. “She’s my child.”
Ewan was stunned.
Although he knew that Crystal had been married and had a child, he did not expect the child to be with
her.
Crystal, on the other hand, thought it was rather convenient. Ewan would not want to see me again with
my child around.
Skyler looked up innocently.
She took out a sweet from her pink schoolbag and placed it in Ewan’s hand. “You’re so handsome! I
was going to give this to Christopher, but you can have it instead!”
Deeply touched, Ewan caressed her brown curls.
Skyler was particularly meek as she allowed him to caress her hair. “Mommy loves sweets too! Daddy
would remove the wrapper for her all the time. They’re wonderful together. He even washed her
clothes. this morning!”
Both adults were left speechless by that remark.
“Daddy’s here to take us home, Mommy!” Skyler said suddenly.
Crystal looked outside with a start.
Sure enough, Henry’s black Maybach was stopped outside. He was standing by the car and looking
inside. His expression did not look very pleasant.
Crystal hazarded a guess that it was caused by Ewan.
Ewan, too, saw it.
Outside stood the man of exceptional prestige. He was devastatingly handsome. He was the type of
man a woman would never forget after having spent a period of time with him.
Crystal smiled at Ewan apologetically. “Excuse me.”
He knew he had no hope, but he did not know why he followed her out.
And so, both men came face to face.
Crystal forced a smile as she introduced, “This is Ewan Hudson, the son of my uncle’s colleague.”
Henry did not bother putting up a gentlemanly front in the face of a rival.
“Isn’t he your date? You should introduce me too, then,” he huffed.
Crystal’s anger sparked.
How childish!
She gave a faint smile and said to Ewan, “This is my ex-husband.”
Henry did not look angry. “That’s right. We’re a divorced couple.” He put Skyler in the car, then turned
to Crystal. “I take her home first. Come pick her up tomorrow morning. By the way, I washed your dirty
clothes from last night and placed them in the guest bedroom.”
