Crystal allowed Henry to have his way with her.
The kiss came out of the blue and was exceedingly rough, so she was afraid to add fuel to the flames.
Henry’s lips traveled from her lips to her neck before moving to the back of her ear. In a hoarse voice,
he murmured, “Crystal, you actually care, don’t you? You still love me, but you haven’t forgiven me,
right?”
Crystal pressed her hands against his shoulders, finding such a position beyond mortifying.
She composed herself before hissing, “Let me down! The help will gossip when you do such. a thing.
How am I to face them henceforth? Besides, we’re not a married couple for real!”
Skyler was ignorant due to her tender age, but the same could not possibly be said of the help.
Henry nipped her lightly. “They’re all up in years, so they’ll understand. Besides, there must be a
process when a divorced couple reconciles. We’re at that stage now. Dating can’t involve sweet talk
alone. Kissing is only natural!”
Crystal bore her eyes into him.
By then, Henry’s voice was already husky beyond recognition. “Why are you staring at me? If you really
feel sorry for me, lend me a hand.”
At his words, Crystal’s gaze drifted downward.
Ignoring his proposal, she quipped, “You’re no longer a lawyer, but you’re still as glib as ever.”
Henry chuckled softly.
He carried her down and allowed her to continue cooking. Meanwhile, he calmed himself for some time
before leaving the kitchen.
When he had left, Crystal’s emotions were a jumbled mess.
In truth, she had wanted to ask him why he left the legal profession just now.
The question was right on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back down. She felt that he was
aware of her intention. Yet, neither of them brought that subject up.
Admittedly, she had feelings for him.
She was a mature woman and was not cold-blooded, so it would be abnormal if she were emotionless.
However, it was too fast.
They were always breaking up and getting back together. If she were to reconcile with him again easily,
Skyler would be affected if things were to end badly between them in the future.
Therefore, she was rather lost.
She could not even bring herself to enjoy dinner. Nonetheless, she was incredibly tender. when it came
to anything to do with Skyler.
Later that night, she coaxed Skyler to sleep while leaning against the headboard of the bed.
Nestling in her mother’s arms, Skyler closed her
eyes.
Crystal gently read her the bedtime story of “Cinderella.”
Skyler opened her eyes a slit. “When Daddy read me this previously, he said he’s your prince,
Mommy!”
At that, Crystal cleared her throat.
Gah! Henry is truly shameless!
Subsequently, Skyler sighed contentedly. “The prince and princess will always get married in the end!”
Gazing at her fair and petite face, Crystal kissed her lovingly.
Skyler then started snoring.
Thinking that her daughter had fallen asleep, Crystal put the storybook down and got ready to sleep
when Skyler suddenly asked, “What about you and Daddy, Mommy?”
While hugging her, Crystal answered tenderly, “Your daddy and I are dating.”
Skyler hugged her tightly in return.
At that precise moment, Henry came in with a glass of milk and happened to overhear that.
He eyed Crystal with a smirk playing on his lips.
Crystal’s face heated slightly, and she swiftly scooped Skyler up. “Finish the milk before you sleep.”
Regretfully, Skyler was extremely sleepy and refused to drink it.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Henry pecked his daughter on the cheek and interjected in a gravelly
voice, “Let her sleep. You drink the milk instead.”
But then, Crystal did not feel like drinking it either.
Henry’s gaze was bright, but his voice was rather raspy. “How about I feed you something else?”
Crystal mulled it over briefly.
Ultimately, she took the milk and drank it slowly.
Under the dim yellow light, she wore a silk nightgown, her long auburn-colored hair cascading past her
shoulders.
A small sliver of delicate skin peeked out from her collarbone.
Henry stared at it for a long time.
After finishing the milk, Crystal handed the glass back to him. She did not dare provoke him, so she lay
down right away. “Switch off the lights.”
Leaning over, Henry turned off the lights.
Then, he gave her a goodnight kiss before whispering in her ear, “When are you going to keep me
company as well, Crystal?”
Lowering her voice, Crystal retorted, “Stop thinking nonsense!”
Henry moved his lips to hers, brushing across them like a feather and teasing her lightly. “I think about
it every night.”
Before Crystal could respond to that, he had already moved away.
When he opened the door, she could hear that it was raining outside.
The rain poured, which was rare in that season.
Deep into the night, Crystal was jolted awake by a crack of thunder.
Peals of thunder rang out even as lightning split the night sky and pierced through every window in the
entire city, illuminating the houses with flashes of light every so often.
Skyler had also awakened. She burrowed into her mother’s arms, shrieking shrilly.
Hugging her, Crystal coaxed, “Don’t be afraid.”
However, Skyler was terrified.
She curled up into a ball in Crystal’s embrace, softly whining for her father.
Crystal wanted to carry her to Henry’s room, but if she were to open the door then, the thunder and
lightning outside would become even more obvious.
Just then, a strong gust of wind abruptly blew open a window.
Gusts of forceful wind and gushing rain instantly poured in. In the blink of an eye, the bedroom was
damp. A puddle even formed on the floor by the window.
Crystal could no longer bother about her previous concern.
She immediately wrapped a small blanket around Skyler to carry her to Henry’s room.
No sooner was she about to leave than the bedroom door swung open.
Henry strode toward her in a bathrobe. Taking Skyler from her, he stated lowly. “There’s a power
outage, and the backup generator isn’t functioning either. Come and sleep in my
room.”
Crystal did not turn him down since she was also afraid.
Carrying Skyler with one hand, Henry wrapped the other around her and guided her toward the master
bedroom.
It was probably because of his presence, but Skyler was not as fearful anymore. She hugged her
father’s neck tightly, refusing to let go of him even when he had placed her on the bed.
Thus, Henry lay down on his side and patiently comforted her.
About half an hour later, Skyler slowly calmed down under his gentle pats and cuddled in his armis
obediently
Her legs rested on his abdominal muscles.
Sull Henry continued patting her back gently
He hited fus eyes slightly and cast his gaze at Crystal across from hum
Sleeping in the same bed with a chuid they conceived together between them during a homble storm
like this had tenderness suffusing him
Hugging Skyler, he stretched out a hand and nudged the tips of Crystal’s fingers lightly
“Are you asleep yet?”
Naturally, Crystal was still awake. She sensed him touching her hand lightly and even grasping it.
There was only a hint of warmth at her fingertips, yet it seemingly scalded her
heart.
She frantically screwed her eyes shut. “I’m going to sleep now.”
Outside, thunder roared.
In a soft and gentle voice, Henry murmured, “If Skyler weren’t here, I’d definitely hold you
close to me.”
Later on, Crystal somehow fell asleep.
The only thing she could be sure of was that he never dropped his hold on her hand.
When she woke up early in the morning, she was greeted by the sight of Henry’s unfathomable eyes.
She had no idea how long he had been staring at her.
Because she had just woken up, she was wholly unguarded.
“I’ll go and prepare breakfast for Skyler,” she uttered in a hushed voice.
Right after she had finished speaking, her slender wrist was in his grasp, and he had somehow moved
to her side. By the time she gathered her wits about her, she was already pinned beneath him.
Henry said nothing.
Restraining her hands to keep her immobile, he slowly lowered his head and kissed her.
He kissed her for a long time, alternating between deep and shallow kisses.
Subsequently, he whispered into her ear. “The power went out at night, so there’s no air- conditioning.
On top of that, you’re lying in my bed while dressed so sexily. Crystal… I’m not to be blamed fully for
this.”
Crystal shot daggers at him. How preposterous!
Henry wanted nothing more than to bed her, but Skyler was right at the side.
Not daring to go too far, he slipped his fingers into her silk nightgown, teasing her to give her pleasure.
Such circumstance was so torturous that Crystal could not help biting him on the
shoulder. “Stop it, Henry!”
“You’re feeling shy? Be good, and don’t make any noise,” Henry cajoled.
Crystal flushed bright red, her heart pounding wildly.
Henry’s sweat dripped onto her neck, his Adam’s apple bobbing seductively as it rested against her.
He had been suppressing his desires for a few years. That aside, the woman he wanted was lying
beneath him in a wanton state. He would not be a man if he could remain unfazed.
Leaning close to her ear, he purred impatiently, “Can I?”
Honestly speaking, Crystal was tempted.
As a mature woman, she had needs as well. It would still be tolerable usually, but she was already
excited from his teasing then. Still, she suppressed her desire and muttered, “No.”
She was afraid, terrified that it would result in another child.
Seeing through her, Henry reached over and opened the bedside drawer. In there was a small box that
was brand new..
He opened it with one hand, his movements a touch inept.
Crystal grabbed his hand, and when she spoke, her voice was quivering. “Henry!”
Henry fixed his dark eyes on her, an allure unique to a mature man shining in them.
At that, Crystal could hardly persevere in her resistance.
Finally, Henry snapped. Just when he was about to give his desires free rein and indulge in at long-
awaited bout of intimacy, Skyler rolled over and sat up. “I want to go to the toilet, Daddy!”
At once, he stiffened entirely.
Flipping over, he lay at the side, all thoughts of lovemaking having flown out the window.
The same went for Crystal.
With her face stained scarlet, she straightened her nightgown before making to get out of
bed.
Henry reached out and wrapped an arm around her slender waist, remarking in a hoarse voice, “She
usually goes to the toilet by herself, but she slept little last night and is still
groggy, so she’s particularly clingy now.”
That lengthy explanation was meant to have her stay.
Although it was impossible for them to do anything further, it had been a long time since he had last
seen her so docile and unguarded as she was at present.
As such, he wanted to have her in his bed.
In the end, Crystal did not leave since it was also unbecoming for her to go out in her current condition.
If the help were to see me in such a state, I’d be eternally mortified!
Having an idea of her thoughts, Henry whispered, “Sleep for a while longer.”
After saying that, he got out of bed and carried Skyler to the bathroom.
When Skyler had relieved herself, she righted her clothes by herself. Then, she ran out and snuggled in
her father’s embrace, clinging to him for a long moment.
Henry pecked her on the cheek. “Go brush your teeth and wash your face.”
Skyler was incredibly independent. She sprinted back to her nursery, which had been put to rights by
the workers by then.
Meanwhile, Henry remained in his room and sat on the edge of the bed.
Sitting up, Crystal leaned back against the head of the bed and studied him.
Henry did the same.
Things almost spiraled out of hand between them earlier, so the look in both their eyes was somewhat
unfathomable, carrying a trace of desire at that moment. However, they had already become parents
then and could no longer go between the sheets anytime they wanted as they did in the past.
Henry had something to say.
Holding her gaze, he murmured, “Attend the company’s anniversary celebration with me next week.”
At his request, Crystal was taken aback.
It went without saying that she understood the significance of it. “Let me consider it,” she replied softly.
“For the sake of Skyler’s mental health, do consider it carefully, Crystal,” Henry urged gently.
Crystal bore her eyes into him, commenting sincerely, “I’m worried that by the time she’s fine, there’d
be a problem with your mental health instead.”
Henry chuckled lowly. “Are you feeling sorry for me?”
