Skyler nodded in a confused manner.
Children don’t know much. She was just very happy because she was going to have a mother. That evening, she ate two plates of food
The housekeepers were very happy. “You’re amazin
Skyler started to negotiate with her father. “If I see Miss Winters every day, then I will eat more every day!”
Henry was sitting on the couch and doing his work.
When he heard what she said, he glanced over and said. “If you want to see Miss Winters, think of a v yourself”
Skyler sniffled.
She ran over and hugged her father. “Daddy, you’re useless.”
Henry remained silent..
He moved the files away and hugged Skyler, resting his head on her brown curly hair.
“I made her angry. Skyler, go bring Mommy back, okay?” He spoke in a hoarse voice.
Skyler leaned on his shoulder, a sign that she agreed to do so.
She mumbled, “I wanna play the piano.”
Henry looked around the mansion. He had forgotten to buy a piano. Since Skyler wanted to play the piano, he drove her out to buy one.
Half an hour later, the black Maybach stopped below a condominium.
The condominium was still the same.

When Henry missed Crystal a lot, he would come here alone and smoke in the living room. After a while, he would rush back because he needed to take care of Skyler.
When he opened the door, Skyler said that she really liked this place.
Henry said, “This is where Miss Winters and I used to date. This Morningdew was a gift from me to her. But later, when I angered her, she didn’t want it anymore.”
Skyler was a little nervous as she asked, “She doesn’t want me anymore too?”
Henry squatted down.
He looked at Skyler and said seriously, “She doesn’t know you. She thought… Skyler, she loves you very much!”
Skyler seemed confused, but then she was arrogant as she said, “I also think if she knew she had a baby as cute as me, she wouldn’t abandon me.”
Henry smiled.
He kissed her cheek and carried her to the piano.
Skyler only had one lesson but she was talented so she could play the piano well.
Henry stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared at Skyler.
She was wearing a white dress. She had brown hair, and her back was straight.
He felt as though he was looking at Crystal.
Skyler finished playing a song and looked up, wanting to get a compliment. But upon meeting her father gaze, she was stunned. Daddy’s gaze is so gentle!
When they were going to leave, Henry carried her down.
Daddy usually wants me to walk but then he is carrying me now! Hah! Old guys are weird when they fall in love!
Henry missed Crystal indeed.
He had been fine with it when he couldn’t see her when she was in Sumanthova previously. Yet now that she was in Barnwood, he still had to control himself. It wasn’t good for him physically and mentally.
Skyler started singing in the shower right then.
Henry leaned against the couch lazily.
He took Skyler’s phone and texted Crystal: Miss Winters, I am Sky’s father.
Crystal was just done showering when she received a message from Sky’s father. She didn’t have a good impression of this wicked businessman who owned a Lincoln.
However, he was Sky’s father.
Crystal wanted to have a talk with him. She tried her best to be professional when she told him about Sky’s progress. However, it seemed that the man was distracted.
Crystal sent a question mark.
After a while, Sky’s father replied: Sky said that you’re very pretty.
Crystal was a little offended.
She hesitated and sent a message to him, asking him to have some self-respect.
Henry stared at those words and flashed a gentle smile, looking somewhat pleased. He could almost imagine Crystal’s embarrassed and angry reaction.
He hadn’t been in contact with her for three years.
Even during the New Year, a simple greeting went unanswered.
However, he could now flirt with her using the identity of Sky’s father, which was quite thrilling for a man. At least, Henry was thoroughly enjoying it.
Skyler came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.
Henry calmly deleted the text messages, then held Skyler and dried her hair.
Crystal had a dream.
She dreamed of Skyler, and for some reason, in the dream, Skyler looked like Sky, and she even called her Mommy.
When she woke up from her dream, she sat on the bed quietly for a long time.
Then, she caressed her stomach, where she used to carry Skyler. It had been three years, and there were no traces of Skyler anymore.
Crystal didn’t want to forget, and she couldn’t bring herself to forget.
Early in the morning, she went to the cemetery of the Miller family.
It had been three years.
The cemetery had changed a lot, and the old man who guarded the cemetery had aged quite a bit. He greeted Crystal warmly as she approached, led her in, and began chattering away.
“Mr. Miller planted a lot of roses here two years ago, red and white roses. They are all imported from Irushea, and this place was full of them!”
Crystal was stunned.
The cemetery, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, used to be gloomy and lifeless, but now it had transformed into a rose garden.
It was blooming season now.
As this was a private land, outsiders couldn’t get in. A lot of influencers would shoot commentary videos outside. This place had become an attraction.
Holding a small daisy, Crystal stood in front of that little mound. It did not look like it used to be.
A stone tablet about ten inches square lay on the ground, engraved with their names-Henry and Crystal.
Skyler’s name was not there. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Crystal touched her broken heart.
Rather than a burial site for the deceased kid, this place seemed more like a sanctuary of love.
She stayed there quietly for a long time. Knowing that she was not in a good mood, the old man said, “Mr. Miller comes here every year on Valentine’s Day and Eastamor. He stays for a whole day each time.”
Eastamor…
Crystal didn’t know why Henry would choose such days to come over, and she didn’t ask. She simply whispered. “That’s enough.”
She put down the flower and left.
She was downcast for a whole day.
After giving birth to Skyler, she had been suffering from severe depression. It was only after taking medication for a year that she fully recovered. Going to the cemetery that day had somewhat affected her mood
In the afternoon, Madison asked her out for coffee.
Crystal agreed easily and went to their usual spot.
Madison was already there when she arrived.
She quickly waved her hand when Crystal walked in. “Over here!”
Crystal sat down and looked at her white office outfit. “You look good. Seerns like your career is going well
Madison sighed. “I’m just following Charles. You know me. With my limited capabilities, what great things can I accomplish? I’m just taking on some minor responsibilities in the company, and it’s also a
good opportunity to keep an eye on Charles and prevent him from fooling around.”
Crystal smiled. “Charles seems to be doing fine.”
Madison scratched her hair and said, “I just want to find something to do. It’s very boring at home *
Crystal stopped asking as she didn’t want to pry too much into their private lives.
She sipped on her coffee slowly.
Madison, a longtime friend of hers, could tell there was something troubling her. “Looks like you’re involved with Henry again. You don’t look so good.”
