Love After One-night Stand with CEO

The next day...

Early the next morning, Denny packed up their things and brought Cecil along.

Rosa woke up early in the morning and waited for Cecil downstairs.

The moment she saw Cecil, she hurried to greet him.

"Cecil..."

She had so much to say, but for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

"Sister!"

"Cecil's here!" Henry also came over and walked to Cecil with a smile. He took the lead to push his wheelchair.

Cecil was visibly a little awkward.

His sudden transformation from an uncle to his brother-in-law...

He was still a little opposed to it.

Rosa noticed his expression and didn't dare to say anything. She became cautious all of a sudden.

"I'll show you around your room. Let me know if there's anything you want me to change!"

The man sounded joyful because he was a newlywed.

Cecil remained silent.

Rosa frowned slightly and followed them to the room.

The huge room was luxurious and beautifully decorated.

It would suit anyone's tastes.

However, there was not much change in Cecil's expression.

"Um... I'm hungry. Yeah, why don't you go and check whether Aunt Abbie finished preparing breakfast?" She quickly signalled Henry. She needed to stay with Cecil alone for a while.

"Okay!"

Henry replied elegantly.

The next second, the door closed with a click.

Only the two siblings were left in the room.

Rosa walked to Cecil and squatted in front of him. "Cecil... I'm sorry. I've been hiding this from you... I..."

"This place is really beautiful," Cecil said faintly, changing the topic.

Rosa was stunned for a moment. Then she followed his gaze into the house.

"Cecil, do you like it?"

He smiled and replied softly, "I like it."

"Really? I knew you would like it. Look, there's a study room here. It's connected to your room. There're all kinds of books inside, and there's also a computer. It'll be very convenient for you!" Rosa hoped he would like all of this.

Rosa pushed Cecil's wheelchair around the room that was bigger than their previous home.

However, Rosa was unaware of Cecil's troubled expression.

The three of them had just finished their breakfast at the dining table.

Miranda came over with the young master.

"Miranda, Eric..." As soon as Rosa saw Miranda, she immediately greeted her.

"Auntie!" The young master shouted playfully and ran towards Cecil.

Auntie...

Rosa's face immediately turned red.

Miranda looked at her and became silent. Her pretty eyes were still full of disbelief.

"Miranda..." Rosa was a little worried at her sudden silence.

She was afraid that Miranda couldn't accept it, so she didn't know how to explain it to her.

"Rosa... you... have you really become my aunt?" Miranda's mouth twitched slightly as she said.

"Miranda..."

Rosa frowned and was worried about her.

"Haha, that's amazing! You're my aunt now. Uncle won't be able to bully me in the future anymore!" Miranda exclaimed as she hugged her excitedly.

Rosa froze for a moment before relaxing her body.

Then, she hugged Miranda tightly.

"You scared me to death. I'm really afraid that you... that you..."

She said in a quavering voice.

She was afraid of losing her good friend.

"What are you afraid of? You didn't know that I was so excited last night. I always wanted you to marry into the family, but there wasn't anyone who was single in my family. The only one who was available was my uncle. But you were so afraid of him before. Hey, when did you guys hook up?"

Miranda winked and asked.

"What do you mean 'hook up'? Come on, explain!" Henry walked over.

He uttered every word with precision, exerting an undefiable power.

Miranda instantly broke out in cold sweat as she showed him a fake smile.

She secretly tugged on Rosa's sleeve and signalled with her eyes, "Rosa, save me..."

Rosa hurriedly stood in front of Miranda with a smile, blocking the man's sharp gaze. "Don't scold her like that, she's only joking with me!"

Miranda nodded hurriedly.

"Well, didn't you say you have an important contract to sign today? Go on, quickly!" Rosa smiled with her big eyes twinkling.

Of course, Henry knew that she was shielding Miranda. He caressed her head and said, "Remember, you're her aunt. You have to be strict when necessary. If she refuses to listen to you, let me know!" Miranda pouted and stuck our her tongue. "Uncle is still as evil and mean as before!" She thought.

"Haha, hurry up and go with Denny." She said as she led Miranda away.

Henry chuckled and stopped talking. There was indeed a very important contract to sign today.

He did not waste any more time and set off with Denny.

In the huge villa, there was no more Henry to supervise them.

Miranda, the young master, and the others began to let loose.

Rosa didn't disturb them and instead helped Aunt Abbie with some chores.

Although Aunt Abbie didn't want her to help, she couldn't stay still and do nothing.

The young master was playing alone in the study room.

It turned out that there was a section filled with Rubik cubes in the study room.

Henry must've been the one who bought them recently. All of them seemed to be very new.

The young master sat on the floor and focused on his cube.

Miranda sat on the sofa and talked to Cecil with a smile in the room.

However, after a few words, she noticed that Cecil was acting weird.

NOW PLAY YOUR

FAVOURITE GAMES ON

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Cecil looked at her in confusion.

Miranda frowned, looking worried. "Why do you seem so out of it? Are you not feeling well?"

"No!" He answered faintly while his eyes darted around the room.

Miranda was confused and followed his gaze.

"This room is really nice!" He sighed with a hint of sarcasm.

Miranda frowned and did not speak. She only felt that there was something different about Cecil today.

"I don't know if my sister had made the right choice!" After a long while, he finally broke the silence.

"It can't be wrong. I can tell that my uncle loves her very much!"

Cecil smiled. He could see it as well.

However, how long could this kind of love last?

"Cecil..."

Her heart ached at the sight of his bitter smile.

"Fairy tales only exist in books. In reality, people want to find a good match with similar backgrounds. Miranda, how long do you think their marriage could last?"

Miranda was silent and felt uneasy all of a sudden.

"Your grandparents and your other family members don't like my sister, do they?"

Miranda bit her lips and replied anxiously, "Who said that? The young master and I like her very much!"

"Ha..." He laughed, yet his frown grew deeper.

"Cecil, I know you are worried about Rosa. Don't worry. My uncle won't let her suffer, and I will also help protect Rosa!"

Cecil sighed and said helplessly, "I don't have any other hopes. I just want her to be happy..."

However, what happened yesterday was deeply engraved into his memory.

Those expressions from their in-laws that showed deep hatred...

Even if they had gotten a marriage certificate, they didn't seem like they would stop so easily.

Her sister's opponent, the Baker family, was too powerful.

What should he do?

How can he protect his sister from harm?

"Cecil... don't worry. Believe me. I will protect Rosa, really!"

Under the warm sunlight, his eyes reflected a hint of uneasiness.

Her heart wrenched as she saw his expression.

Subconsciously, she grabbed Cecil's hand. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said hurriedly, "Trust me, I will!"

Cecil looked at Miranda gently and smiled. "Okay! I trust you!"

His dark eyes seemed like deep pools of water at such a close distance.

She could see her own reflection in those eyes.

In an instant, she was in a trance.

Never had she thought that one could lose oneself from a mere gaze...

Rosa and Aunt Abbie had just finished work. She was prepared to return to the others.

Unexpectedly, her phone started ringing.

She picked it up and saw a text message.

"Rosa, I want to meet up with you. At the place."

This was from Grace.

Rosa frowned. "Didn't Grace go somewhere else?"

"Could it be that she had not left yet?" She thought.

She bit her lips uneasily. Biting her lips, she felt a little uneasy.

Was she waiting for her death by staying here?"Does this girl want to wait for death by staying here?"

She didn't dare to think too much about it. She hurried to Cecil and told them that she would go out to buy something and will return soon.

Then, she changed her clothes and went out with her backpack.

At the Golden Shopping Mall...

Grace was bored from waiting.

She started to wander around in a daze.

She walked and walked, eventually reaching a lingerie shop.

Gilson was the brand that caught her eye the most out of the rest.

She couldn't help but walk into the shop selling the world's most expensive lingerie.

As soon as the staff saw her branded clothes and her expensive bags, she immediately came to the conclusion that she was rich.

Therefore, she immediately came forward and welcomed her enthusiastically.

"Miss, are you looking for lingerie? Gilson's lingerie is ranked the best in the world!" The female staff said with a standard smile on her face.

"I'm wearing this brand!" Grace replied with a sneer.

"Really? What a coincidence. If you're a member, we have an offer for you today. It's 9.5% off."

Grace smiled and did not say anything. She started looking around.

Suddenly, a bright yellow swimsuit caught her eye.

The swimsuit was hung under the spotlight, which was quite eye-catching.

The female staff immediately hurried over and said, "Miss, you have such good taste. This swimsuit is incredibly rare and valuable. There's only one set in City C!"

Grace frowned and said, "The only set? How is that possible? I have the same exact set!" "How is it possible? It just arrived from abroad. This set is only available in Golden Eagle!" Grace was starting to get annoyed. She took out her phone and showed her the picture.

At this time, the manager came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

The female staff quickly explained Grace's matter to him.

The female manager smiled and said, "So Mr. Lewis bought the lingerie for you?"

Grace was stunned. She frowned and repeated, "Mr. Lewis was the one who bought... it?"

"That's right. This is a custom order from Mr. Lewis of Yateks Group. That is the one from City C!" The manager showed an envious expression.

Grace sneered.

"A gift from Mr. Wright?"

"She gave it to her?"

"Ha, even the best swimsuits wouldn't be able to hide your stupidity!"

After heading back, she came to a conclusion.

She understood these words as "Even if you wear the best clothes, you're still a simple-minded idiot!"
