Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Thank Me for What? For Kissing You?

Henry bent down.

He didn’t kiss Crystal right away. Instead, he cupped her face, letting his slightly coarse fingers graze against her tender cheeks. Then, he grasped her hair and caressed it with an appropriate strength.

Suggestive moves like this were the most torturous.”

Crystal never experienced any of this, so she couldn’t help but whimper, “Henry!”

“You’re not calling me Mr. Miller anymore?”

His trim nose was flush against hers as the two leaned into each other. Even their breaths were mingled together.

Henry could kiss her anytime.

Crystal gripped the fabric of his shirt as her heart thumped wildly. She wanted to close her eyes

However, Henry didn’t allow that. He tugged her long hair lightly and ordered in a low and hoarse voice, “Crystal, keep your eyes open for our kiss.”

It was his first time calling her by her name. For some reason, Crystal was extremely enticed.

She opened her eyes, her red lips trembling as they slowly pressed against his.

Henry suddenly held her tightly.

They were in the ward and they both were feeling things for each other. An originally light kiss was about to turn into something more.

Henry was losing his control as he asked in a low voice, “Crystal, are you sure?”

Crystal had her wits about her for a short moment..

She instinctively wanted to push him away, but when she remembered how much of a clown she had been for sacrificing so much in her past relationship, she felt that there wasn’t any point in keeping herself pure anymore. At that thought, Crystal offered her lips of her own accord.

In her daze, she actually felt the exhilaration of exacting revenge.

Henry ended the kiss.

His pride didn’t allow him to continue. He let go of Crystal and leaned to the side, smoothing out his wrinkled shirt. Then, he narrowed his eyes at her sensual expression and commented calmly, “Miss Winters, you’re injured. You should slow down.”

Crystal completely recovered her senses then, and she felt both awkward and ashamed.

Henry didn’t let the awkwardness reign for long. He took out a snow–white cigarette and played with it between his fingers, NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

A moment later, he suddenly spoke up. “You must be wondering why I didn’t stop Melora from getting engaged with someone like Robert.”

Crystal waited for Henry to continue.

He broke the cigarette in half and said, a little annoyed, “Six months ago, Melora attempted to end her life just to be with Robert.”

Crystal was stunned upon hearing that. She never knew about this.

When she met Henry’s gaze again, her voice was trembling as she murmured, “Mr. Miller, I get it now. I promise that I won’t affect Miss Miller in any way. Treat this as my way of repaying you for your good deed.”

Henry didn’t say anything.

Truth was, he was quite speechless.

It was obviously an explanation, but Crystal had understood it another way. However, with Henry’s personality, he refused to elaborate on it. He just gave her a meaningful look and muttered, “How did you get to be a teacher with brains like that? No wonder you got duped by men.”

With that, he left right away.

Crystal was stunned for a while.

She took her phone, intending to transfer some more spare money from her bank account, but she was stunned as soon as she saw her phone.

Henry not only left her 2600 intact, he even transferred another 15,000 to her.

As Crystal looked at Henry’s name registered on her phone, an unspeakable feeling welled in her heart. Except for Melora between them, he actually treated her quite well despite his vicious tongue.

She thought about it for a moment, then sent a WhatsApp message anyway.

‘Thank you, Mr. Miller.‘

Henry had just gotten into his car when he received the message from Crystal. He also noticed that she didn’t accept the fund transfer.

He thought for a moment, then sent her a few messages at once.

‘Thank me for what? For kissing you?‘

‘If it’s about the 15,000, you can play 10 rounds of golf with me if you feel bad about it.‘

‘If that doesn’t work, maybe you can come over to my place and we can read cases through the night.”

Crystal received the messages.

Her face was burning hot, for she wasn’t so naive that she would take those words at face value.

She never thought that Henry would be such a perverted man!

She was about to transfer 3270 to him when she received another WhatsApp message from him.

‘Keep it. Consider it a form of compensation from me on Melora’s behalf.‘

Crystal silently read the message and she stared at it for a long time. She was suddenly a little envious of Melora.
