Chapter 119 You Better Look Out For Yourself!
Rosa finished cooking and sat down at the table to eat.
She received a call.
It was from the real estate, asking her to pay for the fee.
Rosa was stunned. How could she forget about it?
She told them to eat first and will return later.
However, what she didn't expect was...
When she came back, she noticed that the large plate of shrimp was gone.
In front of Cecil was a plate full of shells, piled up into a mini hill.
Rosa was shocked and said, "Cecil, you can't eat shrimp! You'll have an allergic reaction. Why did you eat so much?"
"Master didn't eat them. He peeled it for me and my cousin!" The young master ate happily.
Nowadays, he liked coming here with Miranda.
The main reason was he was able to hang out with his master.
Of course, another key reason was because of Rosa's extremely delicious cooking.
Miranda lowered her head as she silently ate the shrimp.
Rosa sighed in relief and said, "That's a relief. Ah, have these too. The other dishes are also very delicious!"
Miranda looked at the shrimp in the bowl shyly and picked up a few for Rosa. "Here... you should eat some too!"
Rosa was stunned and couldn't help but smile. "Miranda, you forgot, I also don't eat shrimp!"
Miranda was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Rosa was fine with any other seafood except for shrimp. After eating shrimp she would have an itch. That was why all these years in college, she had never made this dish.
"Hurry up and eat, don't be shy!" Rosa handed some shrimp over to her.
Unexpectedly, the young master reached out and reaches out his bowl. "I'll eat it if you don't!"
Miranda looked at the shrimp that Cecil peeled for her with great effort. Most of it had been eaten by him. Because of this, she was furious.
She got up and knocked his head with her spoon.
"Aren't you afraid of an allergic reaction after eating so much!?"
The young master pouted and said, "I'm not allergic!"
"That shrimp is mine!"
"Is your name written on it?" The young master retorted.
"It's been peeled. It was already in my bowl!"
"That was before. Didn't you give it to Rosa? It doesn't belong to you anymore. Besides, it was peeled by Master. You didn't even touch the shrimp!" The young master said defiantly. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel...
Rosa hurriedly stopped them. "Sorry, it's my fault. When I went downstairs to buy shrimp, these were the only ones left. Next time you come, I'll make a big plate of shrimp for both of you, okay?" Hearing this, the anger between the two gradually dissipated.
However, this meal was a little stuffy.
After the meal, Rosa did the dishes while the young master played with his Rubiks Cube in the room.
Although she didn't know what Miranda and Cecil were talking about, she could hear her laugh from time to time.
Truthfully, Rosa felt that this was the life she wanted.
Friends would come over to hang out once in a while, making the house less lonely.
What made her happy the most was that Cecil was finally able to socialise with others instead of closing himself off from the outside world.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Miranda and the young master left the house.
Rosa cleaned the house thoroughly and began to pack up her books.
Cecil continued to work in front of the computer.
Soon, she received a call from Henry.
He said that he missed her so much and wanted to meet up.
Rosa was buttered up by him, but she had to go to class tomorrow, so she had to refuse his tempting offer.
The man wailed and complained on the phone, acting like a baby.
Rosa was helpless. She only said that she would set off early tomorrow morning and go to Silver Beach to see him.
Only then did the man give in.
After putting down the phone, Rosa's cell phone rang again.
It was Miranda.
She told her that when she left, she bought a cup of coffee on a street nearby.
Unexpectedly, she left her backpack behind.
But now she had already informed the shop and wanted her to retrieve it for her.
Rosa hung up the phone and informed Cecil before heading there in a hurry.
They lived in a commercial area, where everything was sold there.
It was convenient for them and the place was lively.
When Rosa arrived at the cafe, there were not many people inside.
She thanked the shop assistant apologetically.
The shop assistant quickly chuckled and said that it wasn't a problem.
In order to show her gratitude, Rosa ordered a cup of coffee.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
Rosa held the backpack and stood in front of the counter as her eyes wandered about the room aimlessly.
But she didn't expect to see a familiar figure...
"Miss, your coffee!" The shop assistant handed her a cup of coffee.
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
Rosa nodded and thanked him. Holding the coffee, she walked toward the familiar figure step by step.
"Are you sure it's a boy?" The voice belonged to Geoffrey!
"Of course. Look, this is a blood test report. It's a very famous test in Hong Kong! It's written here that it's a boy!" Grace immediately handed him the report.
Geoffrey took the report and examined it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since it's a boy, then we can have it. But you must be discreet about it. Otherwise, if that woman finds out about it, you won't be able to have him!"
Grace smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. For our son's sake, I'll do whatever you say!"
Geoffrey immediately held her hand and said with excitement, "I didn't think I'd be able to have a son at this age. I'm so happy!"
Sure enough, a man would still hope to have a son.
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of our son!" Grace smiled, looking very excited.
Geoffrey immediately took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her. "There are 500,000 dollars in this card. Use it on health products, take good care of our son. When he's born, I'll buy you a house!" "Really?"
"Of course! I can't let my son live in a rented house!"
"That's more like it!"
"About that, don't contact me these two days. She's at home these two days. Just wait for me to contact you!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" As long as she could eep this rich man, she would naturally be obedient.
"Okay, I'll go to the company to handle some business affairs first. You should go back and rest early, okay?" "Okay!"
Rosa quickly hid behind a cover.
Geoffrey carried his bag and rushed out. Then, he left in a luxury car.
On the other side of the table, Grace was holding the gold card, and the corners of her lips kept rising.
Then, she carefully kept the card in her bag.
The next second, she got up, put on her sunglasses, and was about to leave.
However, as soon as she took two steps, her path was blocked by someone.
She looked up and saw her.
For a moment, Grace was stunned.
Five minutes later...
The two of them sat in the same table where Grace had a conversation with Geoffrey.
"Rosa..." Grace frowned and held her glasses, feeling a little guilty.
"Didn't you say you were going to have an abortion? Why are you..." Rosa frowned in disbelief.
Grace looked up at her and said, "Rosa, I'm not young anymore. I've been living aimlessly for all these years. I don't feel secure. I want to settle down now!"
"But you choose the wrong person to settle down with! Why didn't you listen to my advice? Aren't you afraid that..."
"I'm not afraid!" Grace cut her off directly. "How could she find out about my existence? Now that I have his permission to have this child, he won't ignore me. You also know that he's a rich man without a son. This is a pity. I am helping him to not have any regrets! In this life, he won't owe me anything, even though he can't give me a marriage."
Grace never cared about a marriage certificate. It was only a piece of paper to her.
As long as he had money, why did anything else matter?
"Are you crazy?" Rosa was so shocked by her words that she was speechless.
"I'm as sane as I can be. I might as well tell you that I've already bought a train ticket. Before I came, I already had two plans. Regardless of whether he will accept it or not, I will give birth to this child. However..." The corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she continued, "Now that he gave me permission, this would be the best!"
Rosa frowned and stared at her in disbelief.
The Grace in front of her was a complete stranger to her now.
"You don't have to look at me like that. I chose this path. No matter how dangerous it is ahead, I will stick to it. You don't have to convince me anymore!"
"Looks like you've made up your mind?"
"That's right!"
Rosa looked at her, took a deep breath, and said, "Have you thought about the consequences? You should know what will happen to a mistress."
"There are thousands of mistresses in the world. I don't believe that all of them lived miserably!"
Rosa stopped talking.
She didn't know how to persuade her.
Grace was silent for a few seconds. After a while, she said, "Rosa, I know that I am doing immoral things, but I love him. I don't think I am immoral. Love has no barrier, right?"
Rosa didn't say anything.
"Rosa, no one knows about this except you. If you don't tell anyone else, it will be fine."
Rosa smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really think your secret will last?"
"I know, but I will leave right away. As long as I leave City C, no one will know. When I give birth to my son..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but both of them knew what she meant.
Rosa got up and looked at her coldly.
"I don't have anything to say to you. You better look out for yourself!"
"Rosa!" Grace hurriedly got up and caught her wrist.
"Rosa, we grew up together. We wore the same skirt, slept in the same room, watched the stars together. You wouldn't sell me out, would you?"
Rosa tilted her head to look at her and smiled gently.
This smile was very bitter.
"So that's how you really think about me..."
"Rosa..." Grace begged, "I know you've been good to me since we were young. Others criticized me for being an orphan, and you're the only one who accepted me. I know, I know everything..."
She took a deep breath and sobbed, "I also know that you probably hate me for what I'm doing now. But Rosa, I'm not as beautiful as you, not as smart as you, and I don't have a good educational background. I have to do this. I must work hard for my future!"
Upon hearing this, Rosa tilted her head and looked at her with a painful look in her eyes. There was a hint of pleading in her voice as she said, "Grace, listen to me. We can work hard for a good life. You don't have to do this. Listen to my advice. It's not too late to give up now. If..."
"I won't give up!" Grace grabbed her hand tightly. Her tone was extremely fierce. "No one, even you, can take away my happiness!""
