Crystal’s One Night of Love Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Who Do You Worry About?

When Henry got back to Barnwood, it was already ten o’clock in the morning.

The mansion was quiet,

Skyler had gone to school and Crystal was carrying Berthold while talking to Melora.

At that moment, the frustration in Henry’s heart eased a lot.

He stared at Crystal for a long time before carrying the child from her hands. He then said to Melora calmly. “We will bring you home now.”

Melora looked a little anxious when she heard that.

Then, she turned to Crystal.

Henry snorted and said, “Oh, so you’re scared now? You are already raising a kid out there on your own, so why weren’t you afraid back then, hm?”

Melora didn’t dare to make a sound.

Crystal then held Henry’s arm while using a tissue to gently wipe his handsome face. She asked in a low Voice, “Did you have a fight at Coldbridge? Any update?

She was very gentle and considerate. Of course, Henry knew what she was up to.

He then answered lightly, “I had a fight indeed. But I didn’t say anything about Berthold. If he really wanted to know, he would…”

After a brief moment of pause, he added a sarcastic remark. “Isn’t he always well informed?”

Crystal glanced at Melora, who did not dare to utter a single word.

How pitiful!

When Henry went up to freshen himself up. Crystal followed behind. She spoke up when they entered. their bedroom. “It’s the right decision to not say anything. If Uncle Alfred really cared about Melora, he would find out sooner or later.”

Henry was already half-naked at this point.

He turned around with a smile. “You’re helping both sides now, Crystal, why didn’t I notice this about you previously?”

Crystal helped him select a set of clothes. “Don’t you use this to judge me. I can choose whether I want to care about this matter or not…”

Just as she was finishing up her sentence, her body was being hugged by someone.

Then, she was being pushed to the cupboard.

Henry’s arm hugged her slim waist, and he caressed her face with his other hand. “Of course, you have to care! You are Melora’s sister-in-law, and you are usually the one with the most ideas. You have to help me keep an eye on her, hmm?”

Crystal put her hands on his shoulder with a slight smile on her face. “Aren’t you scared that I might be biased toward Uncle Alfred?”

Henry then stepped forward and whispered into her ears. “Tell me, since I fought with him, who do you care about more?”

He was deliberately teasing her.

Crystal felt aroused, and she muttered with her lips on hers, “None of you.”

Henry then chuckled in a low voice.

He felt much better and was in the mood to flirt with her. Perhaps due to the tension in the past couple of days, he felt an urgent desire to want to be close to her. Even though time was not abundant and it might not have been the best moment, he gently slipped his hand under her clothes, providing her with pleasure for a while.

After it ended, Crystal rested her head on his shoulder, breathing hard.

Henry hugged her gently and said after a long while, “Don’t go later. My dad is hot-tempered so he might say something harsh.”

Crystal shook her head.

Her eyes were wet as she spoke in a low voice. “Dad might feel better if I go.”

Henry remained silent and didn’t move upon hearing that.

Crystal then looked up. “What’s wrong?”

He caressed her earlobes and said in a hoarse voice, “You just called him Dad… Crystal, I’m still your husband in your heart, right? We can go back to how we used to be, right?”

Crystal’s ears turned red at that.

She then patted his hand away. “We are talking about something serious here.”

Henry knew when to stop as well. He lightly pinched her earlobe and walked into the bathroom with his clothes.

Henry and the others reached the Miller residence at nearly noon.

The butler was so excited that he rushed in to report. “Melora is back!”

“What?” David stood up happily and waved his hands, and said to his wife, “She’s finally back after so many years out there!”

Julia was very excited as well.

When the two of them walked out of the house, they saw a black Maybach in the garage.

Henry then opened the back door….

Melora got down while holding a young boy.

David and Julia were stunned.

Even the housekeepers and butler did not dare to make any sound.

After a long while, David finally spoke up. “Melora, is this child yours?”

Melora lowered her head and just hummed in response.

David was infuriated and wanted to teach her a lesson but Julia stopped him. “She’s finally back. Please hold back your anger for now. Also, everyone is here, so please consider Melora and the child’s feelings.”

David then glared at Julia.

Everyone sat down after entering the living room. Henry then handed Berthold to David.

David was still mad so he glared at Henry and said, “You think I’ll let this go for the sake of the child? She literally had a child alone out there…”

David suddenly glared at Berthold.

Then, he looked at Crystal… They had similar eyes, fair skin, and dark brown hair… They looked exactly the same!

David suppressed his anger with a sigh. “Alas!”

Julia also noticed it, and her face was full of concerns.

What now?

David caressed the little boy’s adorable face. He liked the child a lot, so he made up his mind and said, “Henry, take care of this matter.”

David was upset no matter what.

When he looked at his precious daughter, then at her simple clothing, he was heartbroken.

After some time, he said in a low tone, “Come back home. You can’t possibly stay at Henry and Crystal’s place forever. They have their own private lives too…. Your mother and I will take care of your you.”

He didn’t scold or blame Melora, but he sounded upset for sure.

After that, he went to his study alone.

Tears rolled down Julia’s eyes as well. “You two are always making me worried.”

Melora bit her lips and said, “Mom, I’m sorry.”

Crystal then quickly hinted at Henry.

Soon, he went up the stairs.

Opening the door of the study, he could see smoke everywhere. It was quite strong.

child with

Henry opened the window and put out David’s cigarette. “You’ve reduced smoking these few years for the sake of Skyler’s health. Why are you smoking now once Melora is back? Are you too happy?”

David looked at his son and smirked coldly. “Happy? Do you see any happiness on my face? Just look at her! When has she ever failed to do something that would surprise us? It was the same with Robert and now… Alfred! She’s even gotten herself a child now!”

Henry made some coffee for him while he was complaining.

He put it in front of David and replied, “I went to Coldbridge yesterday and had a fight with Alfred. He didn’t know Melora has a child.”

David sighed. “So it means he doesn’t like Melora?”

Henry took a sip of the coffee and said, “I wouldn’t say that. If he really doesn’t like Melora, he wouldn’t maintain this sort of relationship with her for half a year… I think Alfred might think they are not suitable for each other. Don’t you know Melora’s character well, Dad?”

This was why Henry didn’t tell Alfred about Berthold’s existence.

The Miller family could definitely raise this child.

David was silent after hearing what Henry had said.

someone

He was still shocked and couldn’t understand how his precious daughter could be involved with as ruthless as Alfred. The two families even had a close relationship due to their relationship by marriage!

After some time, David said, “Don’t make things difficult for Crystal. It’s not easy to be stuck in the middle. Don’t risk your relationship with her.”

Henry nodded. “I know.”

He suddenly grinned and said, “Although Crystal didn’t say anything. I can see that she wants Melora and Alfred to be together.”

David responded by saying, “It’s because she is kind! Women always look forward to a happy ending.”

After they finished their talk, they went downstairs together.

David put away his gloomy face and hugged Berthold lovingly. His face looked so much like Skyler and Crystal.

David held the child and said to Crystal, “Henry is going to the office. Leave the child here with me, and you can accompany Melora to the mall to buy her and Berthold some things. Their current situation is really unacceptable.”

Then, he kissed Berthold gently.

Crystal nodded. “No worries. I will,”

Henry smiled and pinched her face. “You are indeed acting like the daughter-in-law of the Miller family!”

Crystal patted his hands away.

However, Henry didn’t mind. He turned to Melora and said, “If you run away again, I’m gonna break your legs!”

Melora looked at him with teary eyes.

On the other hand, Berthold looked a little scared in David’s embrace.

David felt bad for his precious grandson, so he scolded Henry. “Why the hell are you being so loud to her? You have scared Berthold!”

Henry only grinned in response and then glanced at Crystal. Then, he left.

Crystal had lunch at the Miller residence, then brought Melora out.

It had been two years, and Melora had mellowed down a lot.

Crystal was very caring toward Melora and took her to some niche brand stores that were not too expensive. They were definitely not comparable to the ones Melora used to wear before.

She bought a lot of stuff for Melora and Berthold in just half a day’s time.

When they were having coffee, Crystal took out a black card and placed it in Melora’s hand. “Henry asked me to give you this. This is his supplementary card.”

Melora didn’t dare to accept it.

Crystal closed Melora’s hand and said, “He might look fierce, but in fact, he loves you very much. Stay at home or even our place. Skyler likes Berthold as well.”

Melora nodded in response.

Crystal had a bracelet designed by a famous designer in her hands.

There was a rare pearl on the bracelet.

She then put it on for Melora and said gently. “Melora, I’m glad that you’re back!”

Melora caressed the expensive pearl with tears in her eyes.

She knew what Crystal meant-she wanted Melora to be herself instead of being so careful and behaving like an outsider.

Melora then broke down in the crowded cafe while Crystal hugged her…
