Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 232 Personal Lives 

Skyler was pretty upset.

However, her spirits lifted again when she thought about her parents accompanying her to the kindergarten today.

Henry took the driver’s seat.

In the backseat, Crystal gently fastened Skyler’s seatbelt, then caressed her little head. Her gaze lingered on the little girl.

Skyler was feeling pretty proud.

I just knew it! I’m loved by all.

On the way, she stretched her hand and talked to Crystal about her friends at the kindergarten.

The one she mentioned the most was Christopher Ziegler.

Crystal listened attentively. It was her first time being a mother, and she had reunited with her child after such a long time. Her attention was all on Skyler, making her ex-husband feel somewhat left out.

With his wife and daughter in the car, Henry focused on driving.

Only at red lights, he would steal glances at Crystal through the rearview mirror.

Crystal had her hair tied up in a loose bun, and when she looked down at her child, her soft profile and slender neck were particularly alluring.

Henry couldn’t move his attention away from her. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

When Crystal inadvertently met his gaze in the mirror, she noticed the desire and lust in his eyes.

She blushed a little and felt a bit annoyed.

Henry chuckled softly in a somewhat suggestive manner.

When the traffic light turned green, he lightly stepped on the gas pedal. Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of an upscale private kindergarten.

Henry got out of the car and went around to open the back door.

The look he gave Crystal was filled with tenderness.

Ignoring him, Crystal unfastened Skyler’s seatbelt and carried her out of the car.

Skyler looked especially excited today.

Holding her mother’s hand, she walked to her classmates to get in line.

Skyler raised her little face proudly and said, “This is my mommy!”

She wasn’t worried that others wouldn’t believe her. After all, her mother had brown hair and fair skin just like her.

The other children around were indeed envious. Skyler’s mommy is really pretty!

Her homeroom teacher, Lana Lewis, came over and held Skyler’s hand. Skyler couldn’t help but repeat, “Ms. Lewis, this is my mommy!”

Lana was in her thirties and was very kind.

She knew what Skyler was thinking, so she gently patted the little one’s head and said, “Your very beautiful!”

That satisfied Skyler’s ego.

She decided she would eat two plates of food today.

It was Crystal’s first time being a parent, and she took it very seriously.

mommy is

She talked to Lana about Skyler’s situation politely, not even noticing when Henry walked up to her. He placed his hand on her waist and began exploring her body.

Lana was a bit surprised.

According to the records, Skyler’s parents were divorced, yet they looked so loving to each other at that

moment.

Henry chuckled and said, “Skyler’s mother used to work overseas, but she’s back now. If there are any issues concerning Skyler, you can talk to her. Her phone number is…”

Crystal was taken aback.

Lana had already written down the phone number.

Henry was the major benefactor of this private kindergarten. What he said was the truth. He was always right.

Skyler held Lana’s hand and said proudly, “My mommy’s name is Crystal Winters!”

Lana patted her little head affectionately.

Concerned about disrupting the order of the kindergarten, Crystal quickly said goodbye to Skyler. Carrying her little schoolbag, Skyler skipped into the classroom. It was the happiest day of her life since she started kindergarten.

Crystal stood there for quite a while.

“Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride,” Henry said with a smile.

Crystal also wanted to talk to him, so she hummed in response and opened the car door.

However, Henry shut the door.

“Sit in the front. It’s easier to talk like that!” He then opened the door to the front passenger seat.

Not wanting to create any conflict over such a trivial matter, Crystal got into the passenger seat.

Henry sat next to her shortly after.

He glanced at her long and fair legs. In a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, “Where to?”

“To Blossom Hospital,” Crystal said softly.

Henry stepped on the gas, and the car started moving. After a moment, he asked in a gentle tone, “Shall I go with you to visit Mom?”

Crystal was used to his shamelessness.

She cleared her throat and reminded him. “It’s my mom, not yours!”

“Then should I call her Madam Anna? But Crystal… I’ve been calling her Mom for the past few years, and she didn’t object!”

“I object!”

Henry didn’t get angry with her. He concentrated on driving.

“Henry, I think we should establish a new relationship!” Crystal’s voice rang out again shortly after.

He knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t say anything.

When they reached a red light at the intersection, he took out a cigarette from the glove compartment, lit it, and exhaled a cloud of smoke before turning to look at her. “Tell me more about this new relationship.”

Crystal looked at him. “We’ll co-parent Skyler but not pry into each other’s personal lives.”

Henry reached out the window and flicked off the ash from the cigarette.

He smiled and said. “So you’ve got your eyes on that Hudson guy, huh? Ewan Hudson, right? He’s not bad- looking.”

Crystal was a little exasperated. “Henry, that’s not what I meant!”

“Then what do you mean? Don’t you mean that we are all free to date and sleep with other people?”

Crystal ignored him.

She looked away and fell silent.

Over the past three years, Henry had mellowed out a lot. If she had gone on a blind date before, he would have been so jealous he would have caused some trouble. However, things were different now.

They were divorced.

In fact, Crystal was right. They really shouldn’t meddle in each other’s affairs.

However, he still loved her.

His tone became gentler as he said, “Okay, I’ll go along with you.”

Crystal was quite surprised.

She had actually talked to her uncle about it. There was just no way she and Ewan could be together.

However, Henry was being unreasonable. Was personal life all about blind dates, dating, and sex?

Since he had softened up first, Crystal didn’t want to make things hard for him. After all, they still needed to co-parent their child.

“In a few days, I’d like to take Skyler to stay with me for a few days!”

Henry stubbed out the cigarette, then said with a smile, “Sure! You’re Skyler’s mother. You can let her stay with you for as long as you want. Just remember, because of her health condition, it’s better for her not to leave Barnwood.”

“Okay.”

They arrived at the hospital, and after Henry parked the car, he called out to Crystal.

“Give me your phone.”

Crystal was puzzled but still handed him her phone. Henry lit another cigarette and held it between his lips as he entered and saved more than a dozen phone numbers on her phone.

The numbers belonged to a doctor from the laboratory, a doctor from the emergency department, a psychologist, and the person in charge of the blood bank.

The numbers of Skyler’s kindergarten teachers and principal were also there.

After that, he returned the phone to her, Crystal looked slightly dazed.

Henry’s voice was very soft as he said, “Crystal, I haven’t had time for myself in three years! Even the time I think of you is limited. Often when I was thinking of you late at night, I had to put on clothes and rush to the laboratory the next moment because Skyler was there…”
