Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Be Good and Stay With Me for a Bit

Henry looked at Crystal quietly.

A while later, he let go of his hold on her arm, then lightly leaned back in the leather seat and closed his eyes.

He seemed exhausted.

Crystal couldn’t utter a single word of reprimand as she turned to look at him.

A moment later, he got up and pressed a

tton. The roof of the car pulled back to reveal a dark blue glass over them. Since they were in the mountains, the stars looked especially bright in the night sky.

Henry leaned back and said nothing. He simply gazed intently up at the night sky.

Crystal wanted to ask something, but he pulled her close..

Forced to lean into the nook of his shoulder, she breathed in the unique woodsy smell of his body as she felt her face burn.

“Stay with me for a bit.” Henry’s voice was hoarse when he spoke.

Crystal couldn’t decline that.

She didn’t know if all successful men knew how to show weakness or if all women fell for the same trap, but Henry had helped her before. She couldn’t push him away when he was wearing such an exhausted and fragile expression on his face.

Perhaps because she had been silent for too long that Henry asked her in a low voice, “What are you” thinking?”

“N–Nothing!” Crystal was a little confused.

After that, neither of them spoke up as they embraced each other quietly.

Henry was so good–looking that Crystal would be lying if she said she wasn’t feeling anything at all. She didn’t push him away in a coy manner. Instead, she discreetly snaked her arm around his waist.

Surrounded by the man’s warmth, Crystal had to admit that the sensory excitement Henry gave her was something she never experienced with Robert before. If it weren’t for her family circumstances, she would be willing to spend a night with him.

However, there was too much going on between them, and they were never fated to stay together.

As she thought about those things in a daze, she fell asleep in his arms,

Henry lowered his head to gaze at the woman he was holding.

Her brown hair was draped over her shoulders, and her petite face was clear and pale. Her shoulders looked thin and as she leaned into his arms, she felt light and soft.

Crystal was nice–looking. She wasn’t radiantly beautiful, but she had a gentle prettiness about her.

Her beauty was the domestic sort.

After so many days of bustling about, Henry felt a little tired as well, so he lightly closed his eyes.

When Crystal woke up, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

She could obviously feel Henry.

She had never gotten so close to a man before, so she didn’t know men were like this when they just woke up. She bit her lip a little helplessly, not daring to move an inch.

The inside of the car was dark and Henry’s gaze was passionate.

In a slightly hoarse voice, she asked, “What time is it?”

Henry’s hot breaths singed her ears. “Almost 1.00AM. I’ll send you home in a bit.”

Crystal didn’t dare move as she lay obediently in his arms.

Henry suddenly let out a low chuckle, and his mood was getting better for some reason. His slender fingers caressed her face as he said, “How are you so vulnerable? Are you repaying me or are you enjoying it as well, Miss Winters?”

Crystal was a little mad that he had seen through her. She ignored him and shifted her body back into the passenger seat. Henry scoffed lightly and glared at her.

Her face was hot as she changed the topic by saying, “Mr. Miller, please send me home.”

Henry could see the faint blush on her cheeks.

He was slightly startled. Crystal dated Robert for four years, so she should have some experience. Why is she blushing so easily?

Henry was tempted. He did have the hots for Crystal, after all.

When he sent her home, his destination wasn’t the high–class apartment from before. Instead, it was a rundown community. Crystal said quietly, “We’re here. Thank you, Mr. Miller.”

Henry rolled down the window as he looked at the building outside, then at Crystal’s thin body.

He actually knew how much she had endured, but even with the chance she had today, she didn’t ask anything of him.

For an instant, Henry felt compassion in his heart.

He even wanted to help her for a change.

However, it was just a fleeting thought. For now, Crystal wasn’t that important to him yet.
