Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Our Third Child 1

It was late at night.

As their black car cruised steadily on the road, the weary children swayed from side to side in the back seats.

Henry turned to look at Crystal and noticed that she was reclined in her seat, gazing out of the window.

“Are you still angry?”

He held her hand gently.

Crystal smiled and replied, “Why would I be? Keep your eyes on the road.”

Henry let go of her hand and focused his attention back on the road. After a long silence, he muttered, “You know, Crystal, Uncle Alfred and Melora’s relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing.”

They could have been strangers with no chance of meeting each other, or they could have been one- night-stand partners seeking only temporary fun. However, once they experienced something good, they were not willing to settle for less. Henry and Crystal were no exception.

Robert’s death had likely impacted Henry, making him realize that accidents could occur at any moment in life. That incident also led him to cherish his marriage and relationship with Crystal more, even accepting her reservations about him.

Soon, they arrived back at the mansion.-

While Crystal was getting out of the car, Henry unbuttoned his jacket and said, “Bring Skyler and Christopher inside.”

He, on the other hand, covered Remi with his jacket and carried him out of the car.

Remi was still a baby, his rosy checks resting on Henry’s shoulders as he slept soundly.

As a father, Henry could not help but give him a kiss.

Since Christopher moved in, Skyler had become more independent and tidy. The adults no longer needed. to worry about the little girl, as Christopher would assist her with everything, even the most trivial tasks.

However, Crystal often worried if that was truly beneficial for Skyler.

By the time Henry returned to the bedroom, Crystal had already taken her shower and was in the middle. of her skincare routine at the dressing table..

Lately, they had grown very close and were spending a lot of time sleeping together.

Henry instinctively wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind and began to caress her up and down. He then playfully whispered in her ear, “Have you put on some weight?”

Well, women loved to be slim.

Crystal gently removed his long fingers and snapped, “You should lay your hands on those skinny ones!”

Henry smiled.

He then stepped aside and continued to observe how she took care of her skin.

Actually, Crystal had all the right curves in all the right places, Henry loved a voluptuous woman. When she loosened her bathrobe and proceeded to put some cream on her abdomen, he could not help but offer to do the job for her. He squeezed some lotion and gently applied it on her porcelain skin while nibbling her shoulder. “We’ve been doing it quite often recently. I think you might be pregnant.”

Crystal froze for a moment.

She tried to recall her menstrual cycle. Upon realizing her period was more than half a month late, she pushed him away.

Right then, Henry was filled with lust for her, and it was impossible for him to stop his amorous advance.

Left with no choice, Crystal pulled his black hair and forcefully pushed him away. Panting, she announced, “I haven’t had my period for one and a half months.”

Henry was visibly taken aback upon hearing that.

Slowly, he gazed at her and asked, “Really?”

Crystal replied with a hum as she placed a hand on her belly, feeling a mix of emotions.

Am I pregnant again?

Henry squatted down.

As he pressed his handsome face against her fair-skinned belly, he got emotional and asked in a trembling, voice, “Is my baby really in there?”

Initially, Crystal was a little panicked, but she became calm and composed after noticing his expression. She gently brushed his hair and said in a gentle tone, “Why are you so emotional? It’s not even your first time becoming a dad.”

Henry stretched out his hands and pulled her bathrobe up.

While pressing his face on her belly, he said softly, “The first two times don’t count. This is our baby.”

Crystal stroked his face again. “Skyler and Remi would be so sad if they heard this.”“

Henry muttered, “I love them just as much. However, this one is different. Do you understand, Crystal? It’s different.”

Crystal knew that well.

She caressed his face, bent down, and kissed him, leading them into a tender night.

The next morning, Henry took Crystal to the hospital for a check-up.

Lo and behold, she was indeed pregnant.

The doctor knew the Millers very well. She said with a smile, “Congratulations, Henry! It’s going to be your third time as a father.”

Henry pretended to be unfazed. “It’s no longer a big deal when it’s the third time.”

The doctor chuckled.

She then prescribed Crystal some folic acid and iron.

After leaving her clinic, Crystal waited in the lobby while Henry went to the dispensary to collect the medicines.

Perhaps it was Crystal’s first trimester; she felt a bit dizzy, and her body wobbled a little. With one hand on her forehead, she tried to find a seat. Suddenly, someone held her. Thinking it was Henry, she said, “I’m fine. I’m just feeling a little dizzy. Maybe it’s because my blood pressure is low during pregnancy.”

The person said nothing.

Feeling that something was amiss, Crystal turned to have a look and was stunned.

It was Sylvester! He was accompanying a middle-aged woman who was quite good-looking. Due to their similar features, Crystal guessed it was his mother. The surprising thing was that Crystal knew that woman, and she recognized her as the wife of Robert’s cousin.

Back then, they met up a lot when she was in a four-year relationship with Robert.

For a moment, an awkward silence filled the air.

Sylvester assisted Crystal in grabbing a seat, looking rather conflicted.

She’s pregnant again. In the end, she does love Henry. A woman will never bear the child of a man she doesn’t have feelings for.

Crystal regarded Sylvester as her junior. She nodded and smiled at his mother. “It’s been a while.”

A wave of complicated feelings washed over Chelsea.

She remembered those days when Crystal and Robert were an item.

Who would have known that she I run into Crystal many years later after Robert’s passing?

What a pity! “You seem to be leading a blissful life,” Chelsea remarked softly.

Crystal smiled and remained silent in tacit affirmation.

Right then, Henry returned with the medicines. He first glanced at both the mother and son and then at Crystal. “Are you unwell?” he asked caringly.

Crystal nodded and replied, “Perhaps I’m anemic. Luckily, Sylvester and his mother were around just now.”

Henry wrapped his arm around her shoulders and thanked the duo. Chelsea scrutinized him for a long while, as he possessed good manners and a regal aura.

After they left, Chelsea said to her son, “Everything seems good. It’s no wonder Crystal moved on.”

Chelsea seemed to be very fond of Robert. She added, “She was on your Uncle Robert’s mind until the moment he passed on.

Anyhow, we can’t blame the girl. It was Robert who didn’t appreciate her.”

Sylvester did not respond; his gaze darkened.

After a long pause, he said, “Mom, let’s go to the registration counter.”

When they got into the car, Henry passed the tumbler to Crystal and unwrapped a sweet for her.

It was a candy that Skyler had left in the car.

After a while, Crystal felt much better.

Henry turned sideways, caressed her face, and said softly, “I’ll arrange a nutritionist for you tomorrow. I want nothing but the best for you, for women should always look good and be well-nourished.”

Crystal had become very vulnerable due to her pregnancy.

She rested her chin on his palm and muttered, “You just commented about the extra weight on my belly last night.”

Henry looked perplexed.

A moment later, he said in a coarse voice, “Curvy is the new sexy. I actually like it that way.”

His straightforwardness made Crystal blush.

Henry gently threw his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace, placing her head on his chest.

She could feel the warmth from his body, especially since it was winter.

Crystal continued to lean on him and listened as he called home. “Dad, Crystal is pregnant!”

Right then, David was still in a meeting, and he got all excited when he heard the news.

What? Crystal is pregnant again?

He then counted. There are already four children at home. With this one coming along, there will be a total of five kids! It seems like Christopher is a bringer of luck. Good things keep happening since he came to our house.

Hence, David made a decision on the spot. “Crystal is a pregnant lady, and she needs someone to take care of her. You should send her and all the children back home. Mom and I will prepare the best diet and attend to all her needs daily. You don’t need to worry about Skyler and Christopher, either. Just focus on Seeas Corporation and Miller Corporation.”

Henry burst out laughing. “Dad, it’s my wife who’s pregnant.”

David quipped, “She’s my daughter-in-law too! Can’t I dote on her?”

Henry looked down and pinched Crystal’s cheek. “I’ll take care of my own wife.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

David huffed. Hmph! What’s so great about having a pregnant wife?

After venting his frustration, he grinned. Finally, Henry is starting to look more like a responsible husband.
