Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Daddy Kissed Mommy

Henry laughed in exasperation.

He walked back to his seat across from her, picked up his now-cold coffee, and slowly finished it.

After setting down the cup, he snorted.

“And then I’ll go over to your place often to see the kid and spend the night there when the weather’s bad? Crystal... you might be able to control yourself, but I’m not sure if I can. If rumors spread about the CEO of Seeas Corporation having a long-term affair with his ex-wife, it will affect both my reputation and marriage!”

He wasn’t taking things seriously, and it infuriated Crystal.

Oh, forget it!

She didn’t want to talk to him anymore. They couldn’t resolve anything with him like this.

At that moment, the clock downstairs chimed seven times.

It was already seven in the morning.

Henry checked the time and said to Crystal, “Go take a shower and change your clothes. We’ll take Skyler to school together later!” His expression softened. “Shell be really happy about it.”

Crystal would mostly fulfill Skyler’s wishes.

She insisted on taking a shower in the guest room, and she didn’t see the need to change her clothes. However, after the shower, she discovered that her period had arrived, which left faint stains on the beige. skirt she was wearing.

Crystal spent a long time in the bathroom, and soon, Henry knocked on the door. “Crystal, are you done? Skyler will be waking up soon, and if she doesn’t see you, she’ll get upset...”

She might even have a meltdown!

Crystal grew anxious.

She put on the clothes she was wearing earlier and opened the door slightly. Since they were once a married couple, she didn’t find it too awkward to bring this up. “My period came. Do you have any sanitary pads and women’s clothes here?”

There was a profound look in Henry’s eyes as he scanned her entire body.

“Why would I have that kind of thing here? I haven’t had a woman around for a few years, let alone women’s clothes.”

Crystal bit her lip. “No one’s asking you to show loyalty! How am I supposed to go out like this?”

Henry looked at her for a while longer before saying. “Give me a second.”

There was a housekeeper around who was in her forties. She probably hadn’t reached menopause yet.

Then, Henry picked a black shirt from his closet and a pair of shorts.

The housekeeper brought a sanitary pad, her face slightly red. “I’m not sure if Mrs. Miller has used this brand before.”

Henry looked at it and recognized it as the brand Crystal had used before.

He flashed a faint smile. “She used it before.”

The housekeeper was surprised by his smile.

She had heard rumors that Henry and Crystal had a very unpleasant divorce. She and several others had thought that they would never reconcile, but unexpectedly, Crystal had come over last night, and Henry was in such a good mood about it.

Henry entered the guest room.

In the bathroom, Crystal felt some discomfort in her lower abdomen. Ever since she gave birth, her body hadn’t been the same, and she often experienced pain during her periods.

She took the clothes and quickly changed into them.

When she came out, she didn’t expect Henry to still be there sitting on the couch and checking the news on his phone.

As Crystal approached, he looked up.

She was wearing his black shirt, which was long enough to cover the shorts. Her outfit showed off her long and slender legs.

She had tied her own thin belt around her waist.

Henry’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he replied hoarsely, “You look good in it.”

Crystal attempted to find a laundry bag to keep her stained clothes, but Henry said nonchalantly, “Let the housekeeper wash them!”

Period stains were too personal, so there was no way Crystal would let someone else wash the stained. clothes.

Besides, this was Henry’s home.

Crystal insisted to find a laundry bag, but Skyler woke up before she could find it. The little one ran around barefoot looking for her mother and finally found her in the guest room. She launched herself into her mother’s arms and refused to move anymore.

Crystal held the soft bundle of joy.

She planted several kisses on Skyler’s head, then finally lifted her up. Using one hand to warm Skyler’s small feet as they walked, Crystal said with concern, “No more walking barefoot, okay?”

Skyler buried her head in her mother’s neck without saying a word.

Henry wanted her to come down from Crystal’s arms, but Crystal wouldn’t allow that. She carried Skyler back to the room and dressed her.

In the hallway, Skyler’s sweet voice sounded. “Are Mommy and Daddy going to take me to school together today?”

Crystal was stunned for a moment.

Then, she chuckled and said, “Yeah! We’re going to take you to school together.”

In the guest room, Henry walked into the bathroom and found Crystal’s clothes in the laundry basket. There were a couple of faint blood stains on the beige skirt.

Born with a silver spoon, he had only done his own laundry during his days studying abroad, let alone washing period stains off a woman’s clothes.

However, he really cared about Crystal, so he was willing to do it for her. Quickly, he washed her skirt. blouse, and even her undies, then tossed them in the dryer.

Once the clothes were dry, he felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

Although Crystal still didn’t budge on her decision, they have a kid together. He didn’t believe she wouldn’t go soft.

Henry took his time going downstairs.

With Crystal taking care of Skyler, he finally had a chance to enjoy his coffee and read the morning news.

The feeling was almost like a dream.

Maybe... this is what happiness is all about!

It felt even better than last night when he kissed and touched her. Of course, if he had a choice, he wouldn’t mind some more kissing and intimate moments.

In the child’s bedroom, all of Skyler’s usual little quirks seemed to have disappeared.

Crystal picked out a cute floral dress for her and combed her curly hair, which felt incredibly soft to the touch.

As Crystal helped Skyler put on her shoes, she gently caressed the girl’s fair and tender little legs.

A warm feeling washed over her heart.

Henry had done an excellent job taking care of Skyler. The little baby who was once so frail was now so healthy.

While Crystal was lost in her thoughts, Skyler planted a kiss on her cheek.

It was soft and warm.

Crystal couldn’t bear to part with her. She showered Skyler with affectionate kisses before finally scooping. her up. “Let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”

With Skyler in her arms, Crystal descended the stairs.

When Henry saw them, he furrowed his brows. “Why not let her walk by herself?”

Skyler hugged Crystal’s neck and said in a soft voice, “Daddy’s jealous of me!”

Henry snorted. “When I was making out with your mommy, you weren’t even born yet!”

I saw you two in bed last night!” Skyler grinned mischievously. “Daddy kissed Mommy... Mommy said no, but Daddy insisted that Mommy was enjoying it!”

Henry was speechless.

Crystal wished for the ground to swallow her whole.

The housekeepers at home who were arranging the flowers and cleaning the floor quickly disappeared.

Henry cleared his throat. “Skyler!”

Skyler obediently sat down.

Henry was the one who usually disciplined her, so she was quite obedient. She didn’t insist on being fed by Crystal during breakfast, but there was still a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

Crystal felt her heart aching upon seeing her daughter like that.

She said to Henry, “She’s only four. There’s no need for her to be so independent.”

Henry said in a serious tone, “She can already eat on her own, wash her clothes and socks, and shower by herself. There’s no need for her to regress just because you’re back.”

Skyler poked at her food with a hint of resentment.

Crystal didn’t insist.

She gently stroked the little one’s head, silently comforting her.

Skyler grew anxious. Show him some charm, Mommy! Just like what happened last night! Daddy will agree to whatever you say then. Give him another kiss and he’ll do anything for you!

Crystal had no idea about her little one’s thoughts. After breakfast, she went to get a laundry bag from the housekeeper.

Henry calmly said, “I’ve already washed your clothes and put them in the dryer. You can leave them here so that you have something to change into next time.”

Crystal was taken aback, and her face flushed.

Those clothes had period stains on them, and Henry actually washed them?

Skyler, who was still digging into her food, suddenly jumped up.

Daddy’s got a double standard!

Mommy is all grown up, and yet Daddy is willing to wash her clothes for her!

Henry glanced at her and continued reading the newspaper. “When you grow up, you can find a man to do your laundry for you.

If you can’t find one, then do it yourself.”
