Love After One-night Stand with CEO
Chapter 97 Didn't You Miss Me?

She would never let her go on like this.

She was the one who discovered it.

If it was discovered by Miranda or her mother...

It wouldn't have ended well for Grace!

"Rosa... Are we still friends?" She frowned and asked in disbelief.

"Of course we're friends. That's why I can't let you drown!"

"Ha!" Grace chuckled. "Enough, Rosa, that's enough. You can stop pretending now. Are you acting this way because you're jealous of me?"

"Jealous of what?"

"You're jealous that I have branded bags. That I'm living a good life." She grabbed her hand and said, "We're best friends. I said that I can lend you money if you don't have it. How about this? I will give you 100,000 dollars if you pretend that you didn't know!"

Rosa instantly withdrew her hand.

She turned around and was about to leave.

"Rosa!" Grace immediately ran over and stopped her.

"Rosa!" She showed a pleading look. "Don't do this. What are you doing?"

Rosa looked at her and frowned.

"Rosa..."

"Don't you know what Miranda's mother is like?"

Grace was stunned.

"That man's current status and wealth are earned by Miranda's mother. She was decisive and ruthless. That's how Garcia family got to where they are now."

She took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, don't forget that she's part of the Lewis'. Don't you know powerful the Lewis's are in City C? If you were found out by them, do you think it will end well for you?" Only then did Grace's expression change.

Yes, she had heard of that woman's ways.

In the past, there was another woman who had hooked up with Geoffrey. However, she was immediately destroyed and was forced to leave City C, never to be heard again.

She suddenly felt a little scared.

"I might as well tell you. Miranda already knows that her father has a woman outside. She's already been investigating it!"

"What?" Grace was stunned for a moment. "She's investigating?"

"How long do you think he can protect you?"

Grace bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

"The safest option is to leave him!" Rosa's voice softened.

Grace didn't know what to say.

Leave him?

Leaving this money maker?

Then her future expenses will be...

Her branded bags and clothes...

For a moment, she was a little scared.

"Rosa..." She called out weakly.

Rosa didn't say anything and just looked at her.

"I... I will contact him less in the future, um... I..."

"Grace!" Rosa couldn't help raising her voice. "Don't gamble with your future!"

Grace bit her lips and gave her a painful look.

"But... I finally got all I wanted... He said that he would buy me a house soon!"

This was City C. The land here is incredibly valuable. Owning a house is this place...

That...

Would be anyone's dream!

"How can you afford to buy a house? If you were found out, they could take it back from you anytime!"

Did she not know this basic law?

Grace didn't say anything. She lowered her head deep in thought.

Rosa did not urge her.

She had to think it through by herself.

"Okay, I'll leave him. Give me a month's time!" This was Grace's last straw.

She had to get as much as she can in a month.

"Grace!" Rosa frowned and raised her voice. She was obviously very upset.

"One month. Can't you give me one month?"

"Three days, just three days, I can't give you any more than that!" Her tone was very firm.

She wasn't forcing her.

She was helping her.

Three days was already a lot for her.

If Miranda's mother had found out about it...

She could've found out in mere minutes if she wanted to.

"Rosa..."

"There's no room for discussion!" Rosa interrupted her without thinking. Then, she left.

Grace stood there for a long time before she came back to her senses.

She originally planned to ask the doctor at the hospital.

But in the end, she did not go.

Instead, she turned around and went to a real estate agent.

She went to check out the houses.

Even if Paige didn't look for her today...

She would also feel uneasy.

This time, she chose a slightly better house.

Although the rent was twice as expensive as before.

But the area was relatively new. There were grocery stores and supermarkets.

Rosa didn't think much about it and nodded. After checking out the house, she paid three months' worth of rent.

After that, she went to the hospital at night to ask the doctor about Cecil's situation.

The doctor's words were still the same.

His condition was stable, but because of the complexity of his illness, they couldn't cure it completely.

Every day he lived was a race with death.

But as long as he took his medication and had proper care...

His condition would still be relatively stable.

Of course, he couldn't be too agitated.

The last time he got sick was because he was too worried about her, and because of their 'best' relatives.

As a result, it made him upset thus triggering his illness.

Rosa understood and nodded.

She needed to complete the discharge procedures tomorrow.

Because no one would choose to be discharged at night.

However, she still asked the doctor for the discharge certificate.

This was for her to ask for leave.

When everything was done...

She didn't want to go back.

It was because she didn't know how to face him.

Therefore, she resorted to hiding at the hospital.

However, the man sent her a text message.

"Come outside, I'm outside the ward."

FAVOURITE GAMES ON

Rosa looked at her phone and frowned. She didn't know what to do.

"What's wrong, sister?" Cecil asked after seeing her staring at her phone silently for a while.

"It's nothing. Well, I've already told the doctor that we'll finish the discharge procedures tomorrow. I'll head back for now!"

"Okay!" Cecil quickly nodded.

Seeing this, Rosa left right after.

Sure enough, the man was leaning against the wall. His elegant figure was extremely eye-catching.

When Rosa saw him, she recalled her conversation with Paige and Grace.

She's his mistress!

That's right. What right does she have to say that about Grace?

Wasn't she a mistress as well?

"What are you thinking about?" After seeing her staring at him silently for a while, Henry's lips curled into a smile as he asked.

Rosa shook her head hurriedly and said in a soft voice, "Why are you here..."

"To take you home!"

Home!

She felt pressured by this word.

"Uh... I want to stay with Cecil tonight. Uncle, you can go back by yourself!"

The man frowned and approached her. Then, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"You don't like hospitals!"

Rosa bit her lip. He was right.

You can come here tomorrow!"

Rosa looked at him and said, "Uncle, aren't you busy? Miranda said that... that you seemed to have a lot of things to do at home..."

"Yeah, I won't be able to accompany you tonight. I have to go back to my other home later!"

Rosa was stunned. He can't accompany her?

Suddenly, she sighed in relief.

"Then, go ahead uncle. I'll go back by myself later!" She made up an excuse.

"What time is it? How are you going to go back later? I'll take you home!" The man took her hand and was very persistent.

Rosa didn't say anything and followed him out.

"Which classmate did you go out with today?" He asked.

"Ah... I... Clare and I..."

"

"What did you guys talk about? What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind again?"

She couldn't seem to hide anything from him.

"No, we didn't talk about anything. We just... just talked about our studies." Rosa looked out of the window, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Henry did not pry further.

Soon, he sent her home.

"Well, uncle, you can go ahead. I'm already home. Don't worry!" As she said this, she quickly distanced herself from him.

But the man suddenly leaned closer to her.

He wrapped her in his arms and leaned behind the sofa.

"You haven't seen me for a day. Didn't you miss me?"

Rosa immediately looked away, feeling very uncomfortable.

"I... I had exams today... So I was quite busy!" She explained hurriedly.

"Is the exam more important than me?" He raised her chin. "I haven't seen you for a day. I miss you so much!"

'I missed you so much!'

Her heart skipped a beat.

She was both excited and hesitant. At the same time, she felt waves of pain washing over her.

She never seemed to have this feeling when she was together with Mr. Wright.

But...

She could never be with him.

This kind of feeling really drove her crazy.

However, to her surprise, the man suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss was deep and filled with passion, with a slight hint of punishment.

Being kissed so passionately by him, Rosa was forced to part her lips.

After a passionate kiss, she grasped his shirt with her fingers and panted lightly. "Aren't... aren't you going back to your other house?"

The man pursed his lips into a straight line. There was a hint of warning in his voice as he said, "Next time you get lost in thought, I'll kiss you until you beg for mercy."

Rosa was stunned. She was embarrassed and annoyed by his words. Her face immediately turned red with anger.

"

"I... I didn't!"

Her eyes flashed as she stammered on her words. She could not defend herself at all.

Henry tilted his head slightly to one side and met her evasive eyes.

He chuckled and glanced at her lovingly.

"You're lying!"

Rosa pouted. She couldn't handle him at all!

Seeing this, he went forward and kissed her pouting lips.

Rosa tugged at his shirt and pressed her hands against him. "Uncle..."

She pushed him away, leaving some distance between the two of them.

"You should go back..."

"Another kiss..."

As the man spoke, he stepped forward again.

"No, hurry up and go back, didn't something come up at home?" She turned her head slightly to one side and refused his kiss.

"Wait for me at night!"

He said and kissed her cheek before leaving reluctantly.

The moment the door was closed.

It seemed as if Rosa's strength had been drained completely.

She sat on the sofa powerlessly, looking very lonely.

She was going to move out tomorrow.

He would probably be furious!

However, she couldn't care about it anymore.

They don't belong in the same world. And just like she said, he would get tired of her sooner or later.

Because she didn't think she was attractive at all.00000
