Chapter 102 I Make My Own Decisions
At night, the gathering was the most lively.
Henry was not in a good mood.
He finished his wine in one gulp.
After the drink, he was a little dizzy.
He went to the bathroom to rinse his face with cold water.
Seeing this, Paige placed the "good stuff".
She swapped the wine glass while he was not paying attention.
On the way back...
Paige raised her glass and chuckled. "I heard that you signed an important contract. Congratulations!"
Henry stretched out his hand and frowned. It was obvious that he was a little drunk.
"Sister-in-law, allow me!" Suddenly, Brandon stood up.
He walked up to Henry and picked up the glass of wine. "He's been busy for the past two days. Henry looks very tired. If he drinks too much, he'll have a headache tomorrow at work." Paige was stunned and a looked little nervous. She stammered, "It should be fine for just one sip. He already drank just now!"
"I know, but he doesn't seem to be in a good condition at the moment. I can drink in his stead as his elder brother, right?"
The relatives looked at Henry and saw that his eyes were red from drinking and his body was trembling.
Naturally, it wasn't right to let him drink.
Of course, Henry had already drank with them previously.
It didn't matter if he didn't drink with his fiancee.
As a family, there was no need to care so much.
Paige bit her lips and looked extremely sad. "I just want to propose a toast to him. Can't he even take a tiny sip?"
The atmosphere at the table was still all of a sudden.
Everyone looked at them.
Brandon was a little stunned. Wasn't it just a glass of wine?
Why did she have to take it so seriously?
Hearing that, Henry stood up and took the wine from Brandon's hand.
"It's just a glass of wine!" Henry smiled at her.
However, there wasn't a single hint of warmth in his smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the glass of wine and finished it.
"Paige, what are you doing? It's very tiring for Henry to go back and forth from City R to City C these two days!" Mrs. Baker saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she immediately tried to smooth things
over.
Paige naturally knew that everyone was watching her.
She showed a timid expression and said, "Everyone already gave him a toast... I just wanted to..."
She bit her lips and then looked at Henry. "I'll help you upstairs to rest!"
Mrs. Lewis said in a hurry, "Yes, yes, yes. You've drank a lot today, Henry. Let Paige help you up."
Henry waved it off. His fake smile faded a little, and his expression became even colder.
"No need. I'm sorry, but I really drank too much. I'll head back first!"
As he spoke, he turned around and staggered away.
Paige stood in her seat and frowned. Her expression was extremely upset.
Was she not even allowed to help him up?
"Paige, hurry and go. He drank too much. He doesn't know what he's talking about!" Mrs. Lewis said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Paige did not hesitate.
This was a great opportunity.
Then she quickly followed up.
"Henry... I'll help you up!" Paige hurriedly followed him.
The man ignored her and went upstairs.
Paige didn't care about the embarrassment and followed behind him.
Katherine said that the drug would take effect in 30 minutes.
No matter what, she would never give up this opportunity.
Just like that, she followed the man upstairs.
Seeing this scene, the young master, who had already finished his meal, walked into the room and groaned, "The witch succeeded!"
Miranda was still playing with her phone, and smiled occasionally.
"Hey, did you hear what I said to you?" The young master was unhappy.
He still liked the way how his cousin bickered with him.
But today, as soon as she came in, she held her mobile phone all day, looking all giddy.
"What witch succeeded?"
"It's that woman. She helped uncle into his room!" The young master pouted.
Miranda was stunned and sat up straight.
Then, she put on her slippers and got out of bed.
She looked outside and found that the door of her uncle's room was closed.
"They went in?"
"Yeah!"
Miranda pouted and said, "Congratulations, you're going to have a cousin!"
"Congratulations to you too!" The young master mocked.
Miranda rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "What's the use if you don't like her? It's fine if uncle likes her."
The young master sat on the stool as he played with his Magic Cube on the desk. It seemed like he didn't want to talk about it any further.
That's right. His elder's decision was not up to him to decide.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that he was silent, Miranda patted on his shoulder and chuckled. "What's up with you? It's not like you're getting a new stepmother. You don't have to act like this!" "What are you on about? I was just thinking that I haven't seen my master for a long time, I miss him!"
Miranda was stunned, and then she was reminded of Cecil.
Naturally, she thought of Rosa.
What happened to her? She had called her several times today, but her phone was turned off.
Miranda frowned and was ready to call her again.
However, her phone started ringing.
"Hey, Rosa..."
They chatted for a while before hanging up.
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
"Is it Rosa? Where is she? Why don't you let me talk to her? I want to see my master," the young master said in a hurry.
"What's the rush? I'll bring you to visit her in a few days."
They had a lot of days off anyway. They could go and play.
"Hey, you're not going on the Autumn trip?" The young master was a little curious.
"I've been to Paris many times. There's nothing special there. I'm not going!"
After all, Rosa didn't want to go. She wasn't close with any of her classmates, so she might as well have a good rest at home.
Inside the room...
Henry laid down on the bed, his forehead was throbbing.
Paige turned on the light, walked over, and poured him a glass of water.
"Drink some water. You'll feel better!"
Henry waved her off, signaling for her to leave.
"I don't think you're feeling well. I'll stay and take care of you!" Paige said as she sat on the bed.
"Get out!" The man's tone was cold.
Paige frowned and said, "What's wrong? Are you not willing to let me take care of you?"
Henry stood up and walked to the table. Then he poured himself a glass of water and drank it.
"We're engaged now. I think you know better what outsiders think of us. I just helped you up here and immediately went down. What do you think... everyone will say?"
Henry ignored her and sat on the sofa. He looked very tired.
"Henry... am I not good? I can change. Why are you always so distant from me?" Paige asked while he was drunk.
Usually, he would look at her coldly, leaving her at a loss.
She didn't have the chance to ask him straightforwardly.
There was a faint smile on his face. He stared at her and said in a cold tone, "Last Thursday, who did you meet?"
Paige was stunned. She immediately knew who he was talking about.
All of a sudden, her expression changed.
A cold look flashed across his eyes. "Paige, you better not lay a finger on her. Otherwise... you know the consequences!"
Paige stiffened and looked at him in disbelief.
"What do you mean? Are you serious about her?"
Henry narrowed his eyes. His fingers were pinched against his nose bridge to relieve his fatigue.
"Henry...you're joking. That girl has nothing. You should know that uncle and aunt won't agree to it!"
Paige sounded a bit rushed, but her voice was filled with imperceptible fear.
Hearing this, the man's suddenly widened his eyes. "I don't need anyone to make my life decisions. I make my own decisions!"
His words were domineering.
However, this declaration was not for her.
And it was another woman, a woman without any background.
How could she accept it?
At this moment, the man's cell phone suddenly started ringing.
Henry frowned before pressing the answer button.
"Hello, Henry, I got some news about that woman of yours!" The one who called was Neil.
Her phone had been turned off before, so he couldn't locate her.
Just now when she made a phone call, he immediately located her.
As soon as the man hung up the phone, he seemed to have sobered up a lot.
Without hesitation, he grabbed his coat on the bed and was about to go out.
"Don't go!"
Paige noticed that something was wrong, so she immediately rushed over and hugged him from behind.
"Don't leave, Henry. Don't leave, please..."
The drug was soon going to be effective.
As long as she could persuade him to stay, she would succeed.
The man squinted and still wore a smile on his lips. However, he suddenly became sarcastic and disdainful. "Paige, there's no point in doing this!"
Paige's body stiffened. She naturally knew that she was humiliating herself.
But...
"Please don't go. It's Mrs. Lewis' birthday today. My parents are here, and they are still downstairs. If you leave suddenly, how will they see me?" Paige pleaded.
Henry frowned slightly, looking a little impatient.
"What, haven't you expected this since the beginning?"
His words were cold.
However, it was the truth.
Paige bit her lips. She hadn't expected this.
She always thought that he wouldn't fall in love with another woman so easily.
After all, she had been with him for so many years. How could he fall in love with someone so suddenly?
But in fact, she was completely wrong.
Even now, she still felt that it was unreal.
It was obvious that Henry didn't want to waste another second. He pushed her hand away and was about to leave.
However, Paige tightly gripped his waist and refused to let go.
"I really didn't expect it to be like this. I said I wouldn't bother you and wouldn't interfere with your life. But if you helped me once today, I would feel better. If you go out like this, everyone..."
She couldn't finish her words.
However, she knew that he understood.
Her feelings had been written all over the media for years.
Everyone had known from the media that it was her who had been chasing after him.
Even if they were acting lovey-dovey occasionally, one could tell that he was irritated.
But even so, she had never thought of giving up.
She loved him. She truly loved him!
However, she did not expect that the man's next words would directly shoot her down.
"Whatever I do, I have to consider everyone's feelings. But what about my feelings?" He sneered softly as he said, "Moreover, you're not her. There is no reason for me to consider your feelings!"
The next second, he went straight out.
Paige sat on the floor in a daze, her expression blank.000
