Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Do You Like It?

Crystal hugged Henry’s neck and kissed him, either out of gratitude or due to his innate charm.

His intense gaze caused her body to flush with heat, and she mustered her courage to ask, “Do you want to keep going?”

Suddenly, he leaned in.

As Henry advanced, Crystal retreated until she was forced to lie back and barely propped herself up with her hands.

She didn’t dare to look at him and lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting delicate shadows under the lights.

Henry took her hand and placed it on his handsome face, inviting her to feel it.

“Miss Winters, do you like it?” he asked.

Crystal widened her eyes and blushed uncontrollably.

Henry nudged her nose with his own and confidently said, “When we’re together, it’s hard to tell who’s taking advantage of whom. You seem pretty eager if you ask me.”

“It’s not true! I just want to go to sleep,” she muttered as she snuggled under the covers.

Henry looked utterly disappointed.

Truth was, he had been busy for several days and was already very tired. It was just that he was stirred by the sight of Crystal in a black shirt when he came in. However, he didn’t feel like continuing anymore after the interruption.

With that, he packed up the medical kit and joined her in bed. As he wasn’t used to having someone else in his bed, he simply dragged her into his embrace and intertwined their hands.

Crystal was trapped in his arms and didn’t dare to move at all.

She initially thought that she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. However, with the steady sound of his heartbeat, she quickly drifted off.

That night, she had the best sleep she had had in recent days.

When Crystal woke up, it was already 8.00AM,

She sat up abruptly and noticed that Henry had already gotten up. He stood by the bed as he tied his necktie, exuding a mature and handsome look in his deep blue shirt and gray trousers.

Seeing that she was awake, he commented, “I’m going out later. You can go home and pack your stuff during the day. I’ll come to pick you up in the evening.”

“Isn’t it better for me to come over when you need me?” she asked softly.

Henry smiled faintly. “It’s more convenient to stay here.”

Considering his busy work schedule, it would have been a hassle for him to go out and pick her up every time he felt like seeing her.

Crystal didn’t object any further.

At this moment, faint sounds of someone doing the chores and the aroma of food drifted in from outside.

She was a little surprised.

As Henry looked at her expression, he explained, “It’s Marie. She comes over every morning for four hours to prepare breakfast and clean up. It won’t affect our daily life.”

Crystal nodded. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Then, she got out of bed to help him with his tie.

Her fingers were dexterous as she tied the tie beautifully.

Henry couldn’t help but ask, “Did you always help Robert with his tie?”

At that, her heart stung for a moment.

It wasn’t Robert. She often helped her dad with his tie and got the practice in. On the other hand, Robert didn’t like her touching him and he always kept his distance.

“Henry, can we not talk about him in the future?” Crystal softly protested.

Without saying anything else, he pointed to the paper bag on the bedside table. “Jamie sent this over early in the morning. There’s a set of undergarments in there along with the clothes. Try them on.”

Crystal felt a blush creeping up her cheeks as she refrained from pondering what Jamie might be thinking.

Seeing her reaction, Henry lightly pinched her cheek and murmured, “Are you feeling shy again? When it comes to the matters of the heart, nobody’s going to judge.”

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom.

With a blush on her face, Crystal took the clothes and made her way to the bathroom to change. To her surprise, every piece of clothing, including undergarments, fit her perfectly. The thought that Henry had

provided the accurate sizes made her even more embarrassed.

Meanwhile, in the spacious dining room, Henry sipped coffee while reading the financial morning news.

In addition to his law firm, he had other business ventures, most of which were managed by professional teams and did not require much of his attention.

Just then, Crystal came out of the bedroom.

He looked up at her for a while before complimenting, “They look pretty good on you.”
