Love After One-night Stand with CEO
Chapter 145 Cecil, I like you a lot!

Rosa was in a bad mood because of this episode.

She lay on the bed and curled herself up.

She was wary and uneasy.

"Rosa..." Henry came over, leaned forward, and hugged her and the quilt.

Rosa didn't make a sound. She closed her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

However, her brows were knitted.

Even her body seemed to be a little stiff.

Henry reached out and gently smoothed her forehead.

He smiled and rubbed her hair affectionately. His hoarse voice sounded in her ear, "Don't be afraid. I'm here!"

A bitter feeling swelled within her, and her eyes were teary, and it only got worse.

It had nothing to do with him.

From the moment she was with him, she should have known that it would be a difficult road ahead.

But somehow, she still felt aggrieved, very aggrieved.

"I'm sorry for arriving late. Don't be afraid. I won't let anyone bully you..." He kissed her hair and said in a low voice.

He knew that Cecil was her weak point.

Therefore, he would not let Cecil be bullied.

"I'm fine..." she replied in a nasal voice.

He smiled as he said, "It's not a big deal. Look, your face is wrinkled."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her eyes.

"No more tears and only smiles, okay?"

He pinched her ear and said, "Got it?"

Rosa opened her eyes, turned around, and faced him.

He was handsome and noble and was invincible in the business world.

But such a legendary man was comforting her so tenderly at this moment. Somehow, she felt blessed.

It seemed that her grievances had disappeared.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

And she sobbed in his arms.

"I'm sorry..."

Henry's heart ached, and he smiled and hugged her.

"I should apologize. Good girl, don't be afraid. Look, you have me!"

He coaxed her gently as if he was coaxing a baby.

Rosa didn't say anything. She just kept holding him and didn't let go.

They didn't go downstairs for lunch.

Aunt Abbie brought their meals to them.

Sitting at the table, Cecil seemed to have no appetite.

He just ate a few mouthfuls and asked to leave.

Aunt Abbie frowned. What was going on?

"Aunt Abbie!" A playful voice suddenly sounded.

Aunt Abbie saw that it was Miranda.

"Miranda, why are you out of school so early?"

"I don't have classes in the afternoon. Where's everyone?"

Although Aunt Abbie didn't quite understand what was going on, she knew that the atmosphere in the room wasn't quite right after Asher arrived.

She did not dare to tell Miranda the truth. She said, "They ate and went upstairs to rest. Miranda, you haven't eaten yet. Come and have lunch."

"I don't want to eat. I'll want to see Cecil!"

Miranda had no appetite. She missed him so much after not seeing him for two days.

Even ifs her favourite food was on the table, she didn't want it.

She knocked on the door, and the person inside asked her to come in.

Miranda went in.

"Cecil!" Miranda shouted as soon as she entered.

Cecil saw that it was Miranda, and he was a little surprised, but soon he returned to normal.

Miranda frowned and came up to him. "Are you okay?"

She was worried about him after seeing the public opinion on the Internet.

Cecil was expressionless. He asked flatly, "In which aspect?"

Miranda frowned and didn't know how to reply.

Cecil looked at her and said calmly, "Don't you have classes in the afternoon?"

"I don't..."

Cecil nodded, pushed the wheelchair, came to the bookshelf, and picked up a book to read.

He ignored her.

Such an indifferent reaction caught Miranda off guard.

"Cecil... What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!" He looked at the book in his hand and did not even raise his eyes.

Miranda had never been treated so coldly, so she was upset.

"Did I... do something wrong?" she chocked up.

She didn't even have lunch and rushed over after class.

It was because she was worried about him.

She was worried that his illness would be affected by the disturbance.

But why was he so indifferent to her?

She was sad and hurt.

He knew it when he first asked her the question.

Over the years, he got used to reading people from having to depend on others.

He could feel the slightest change in emotion.

And she was the person he cared about.

How could he not know?

But...

"3 million is enough for you to live a comfortable life. You have good looks. You can start over again after you get rid of the child and leave this city!" Her mother had always looked down on his sister.

If Cecil had something to do with Miranda...

His sister would have to bear everything.

"Miranda... Sis, if there's nothing else, I want to read alone!"

Miranda frowned in disbelief.

"What did you just call me?"

How long had it been since he called her that?

Did the distance between them grow in just two days?

Miranda's eyes became hazy.

"Am I annoying you?"

Cecil turned the wheelchair so that his back was facing her, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to her.

He frowned. His eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes fluttered.

His heart was in great pain.

But if his pain could make things easier for his sister, it was worth it.

Moreover...

His body could not be fully recovered, and he might leave the world at any time.

He couldn't give Miranda a future. Why should he give her hope?

Miranda could not believe it. She ran to Cecil and said in a trembling voice, "Tell me. Do you hate me so much?"

Cecil smiled and raised his head to look at her. He said, "Sis, you are my sister's friend. How can I hate you?"

Miranda frowned and said in a hurry, "Aren't you annoyed by me? We were fine two days ago. What did I do wrong to make you treat me like this?" Cecil lowered his eyes in silence.

"You never called me that when we were online dating!"

She shouted.

Cecil's face turned pale in an instant.

"Online dating... Haha. Maybe I was overthinking it. Cecil..."

She called him gently.

Hearing this, Cecil looked up at her.

Her eyes were misty and filled with pain.

This kind of pain even made his heart ache.

"Have you ever liked me?" she smiled with tears in her eyes.

All of a sudden, the room became quiet.

Cecil's eyelashes moved slightly, and he held the armrest with both hands.

Because of this question, he was so shocked that he could not calm down for a long time.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Should I tell you my answer first? Well, let me tell you. I like you a lot, Cecil."

Upon hearing this, there was a ripple in Cecil's dark eyes.

He seemed to be stunned and shocked at the same time.

He looked at her for a long time, pursed his lips, and finally spat out two words.

"I'm sorry..."

Miranda burst into tears.

"Sorry?" she sneered, unable to hold back her tears. "What do you mean by sorry? Sorry for making me fall for you? Is that what it is?"

"Miranda..."

Miranda curled her lips, and her tears kept falling.

She looked so sad.

She choked with sobs. "Why did you apologize? I-I can feel that you like me too. Why? Why did you change? Where did I do wrong?"

She was not cold-blooded.

She had feelings.

She knew who treated her well.

She understood such feelings.

Because of this sentence, Cecil's handsome face paled, and he remained silent.

Under his long and thick black lashes were signs of endurance and grief.

Blue veins popped on the back of his hands.

He was in great pain.

"I saw the post at school today. I was worried about you. I was afraid that you would have a reaction when you saw it. I didn't eat lunch and rushed over, and this was what I got. Haha..."

She forced a smile.

Her smile was particularly sad.

"Am I only fated to have a one-sided love... and never get happiness?"

"Don't do this. You'll meet the person who loves you very much..." A low and cold voice sounded in the room. It contained no emotions.

Miranda bit her lips and watched his figure through her blurry eyes.

"That's great. Wish me happiness, okay? Thanks."

She wiped her tears and said, "I am not the type to insist."

She turned around, walked to the door, and grabbed the handle.

"Cecil..."

She sobbed and called out to him. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she smiled and said, "Do you know? That you've hurt me more than Jake?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door and ran out.

The room instantly quieted down.

Cecil immediately covered his chest with his right hand, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

His face was pale.

"Cecil, remember, you can't be overjoyed or sad, or your body will decline."

The doctor's warning rang in his ears.

However, he couldn't control his emotions.

It hurt, and it was getting hard to breathe.

"Miranda..."

He held the handle with his left hand and covered his chest with his right hand.

He shouldn't have wished for love, and he didn't deserve it.

He had shed for many years, but he was doing it now because of her. It was beyond his control.☐☐☐☐☐☐
