Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 95

Chapter 95 You Remind Me Of An Old Friend

By the time they got in the car, they were almost late.

Sitting beside Henry, Crystal dared not look at his handsome profile. She couldn’t help but wonder how long he had been single to behave so unrestrained.

It was endless…

Perhaps guessing what she was thinking, Henry stopped the car at the intersection when the traffic light turned red.

As he held her hand and gently brushed her palm, he asked, “What do you think?”

Crystal didn’t want to hazard a guess. Blushing, she turned her head and looked out of the car window to conceal her thoughts.

Henry caressed her tender cheek and smiled. “I’m not as promiscuous as you think. I don’t have any other women around me. Do you think I have the time to fool around when I’m so busy with work?”

Crystal blushed as her heart raced. He’s so shameless!

If he wasn’t fooling around, then what had he been doing these past few days?

Leaning close to her, he deliberately whispered, “Aren’t you always eager? It’s hard to say who’s the player here.”

Inexperienced, Crystal couldn’t stand him talking like that. She got angry and ignored him.

Despite her anger, she put on a façade for him at the banquet.

Given Henry’s popularity and influence in Barnwood, they were surrounded by people who complimented them as soon as they entered the banquet hall. Everyone was stunned by his female companion.

Everyone heard that Henry was doting on a woman recently, and they were curious to meet her. Now that they had seen her, they all agreed that she was very beautiful and had an appealing gentle demeanor.

While Henry was socializing with others, Crystal clung to his arm and tactfully didn’t interrupt.

Afraid that she would get bored, he wanted to take her to get some food and sit down for a

“Henry.”

Crystal turned to the source of the coquettish voice. It was Melora, who was holding Robert’s arm.

When Crystal saw Robert, her body tensed slightly. She didn’t expect to see him at the banquet.

The change in her posture didn’t escape Henry’s notice.

Henry gave Crystal a side glance before smiling gently at Melora. “I thought you won’t be coming.”

Melora leaned against Robert’s shoulder and acted coquettishly. “Robert wanted to see Mr. Quinn, so I brought him here.”

Fiddling with her fiancé’s shirt buttons, she complained, “I never knew you enjoyed art.”

Robert appeased her with a few words, but his gaze was fixed on Crystal.

Henry sneered.

He knew very well the reason Robert came. Wasn’t he here to see Crystal? Sometimes he wondered how Robert could be so shamelessly pretentious. He hadn’t appreciated Crystal for four years, but now that she was together with someone else, he acted as if he still had feelings for her.

Such a foolish man!

Fortunately, Joshua approached at that moment. Dressed in a black tailcoat, he looked handsome and youthful due to proper skincare.

“Henry, Melora.”

Joshua patted Henry’s shoulder and greeted him cheerfully. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Henry politely nodded and introduced Crystal to him. “This is my girlfriend, Crystal Winters. She insists on coming to your banquet today because she has admired you ever since she learned to play the piano.”

Crystal Winters?

Joshua froze slightly.

The name reminded him of his past. Back when he was a poor man in his twenties, his girlfriend, Krystal Lodge, was from a wealthy family. She stayed with him in a house no larger than ten square meters for a year. They loved each other, but due to a misunderstanding, she left in anger. It was only after he got married that he found out she was pregnant at that time….

He regretted his actions and desperately tried to find her!

However, he never managed to hear any news about her, and the Lodges in Barnwood had no information about her either. Some people speculated that she was cast out of the Lodge family

because she was pregnant out of wedlock…

“Joshua?” Henry asked.

Joshua snapped out of his daze and apologized with a smile, saying, “Miss Winters’ name reminds me of an old friend. If she had given birth to a child, that child would be about the same age as Miss Winters.”

As he spoke, his gaze was filled with sadness.

Crystal speculated that Joshua had an unforgettable lover in the past, and that person was now deceased. The unknown child should be Joshua’s own flesh and blood…
