Chapter 67: I Want to Sleep Alone!
Henry looked at her defying expression and found it funny.
Rosa bit her lips and muttered, "Thank you. Uh, you can put me down and go back now!"
Henry put her on the bed and looked down at her. "You want me to go back?"
Rosa frowned and said, "Where are you staying if you're not going back?"
He didn't say anything. He lifted the quilt, put his arms around her waist, and lay down.
Looking at the pair of hands on her waist, Rosa instantly got angry. "You, what are you trying to do? Let go of me!"
"Sleep!"
"Go to another room if you want to sleep. I... I want to sleep alone. Go away!" She tried her best to get rid of his hand.
"Rosa!" He narrowed his deep eyes and called her name in a sinister way.
Rosa was stunned and said timidly, "What... what?"
"Stop it!" His words were simple, but he was actually hinting something.
Suddenly, Rosa's fair skin on her face turned pink, and her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily.
He silently observed her expressions. His lips moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared under his eyes. He said softly, "Or are you expecting something to happen?" "Nonsense!" Rosa immediately defended herself angrily.
He chuckled and said, "Then sleep!"
Rosa was helpless. She couldn't afford to offend this man.
Moreover, this man was unpredictable!
He would actually do what he said.
"Forget it. I'm just going to sleep!
"I've slept with boys when I was in kindergarten anyway!" she thought.
Lying down with her back to him, she gently shifted to the side.
However, before she could move ten centimetres away, someone pulled her back into his arms.
Rosa's body immediately stiffened. The next second, she started to struggle.
"Don't move!" The man behind her said in a low and hoarse voice as if he was suppressing himself.
Rosa was at a loss. She didn't know what she could do at this time.
"All right, go to sleep!"
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Rosa gradually relaxed her body.
Gradually, her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Her breathing gradually calmed down.
Only then did the man sit up slowly.
Amidst the dark night, with the help of the light outside, he watched as the girl sleep on the bed.
"Heh." The man laughed softly.
"Rosa, you'll be willing to live here in no time. I'll make sure of it!"
The next day, Rosa got up early in the morning.
After a night's rest, she felt as if she had been revived.
However, her face was still red and swollen.
But it was much better than last night.
"Thank you... Thank you uncle. I have to go back first, or I will be late for school!"
She didn't expect this man to get up even earlier than her.
"Are you going to school like this to let the students talk about you?" The man sat on the sofa and sipped his coffee as he read the newspaper, not even raising his head. Hearing this, Rosa couldn't help but touch the corner of her mouth.
She winced at the sharp pain.
"I've already asked for leave for you. You don't have to go to school these days. Have a good rest!"
"You... you asked for leave for me?" Rosa was stunned. "Why did you ask for leave? I just had a rest last week!"
As soon as school started, she had been absent continuously.
This would have an impact on the scholarship!
"You're not feeling well. How can you go to school?"
"You..." Rosa had no strength to argue. She turned around and opened the door.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go to school? Do you want to study or do you want to see a certain someone?" The voice from behind said sarcastically.
The hand gripping the door paused for a moment.
In an instant, her expressions changed.
The only thing left in her mind was that man's angry words. 'Why can you give it to him but not me?'
She couldn't help but bit her lips and yanked the door open.
And she rushed straight out.
He glanced at her figure who was leaving in a hurry, and his thin lips curled into a faint smile. "This time, I will let you come to me on your own!"
Back home, Cecil had not rest well for a whole night.
Denny was a little surprised. "Miss Lopez, you're back?"
"Thank you." She forced a smile and made way at the door.
Her words were obviously meant to drive him away.
Denny was stunned. "Oh, okay. Since you're back, I'll leave first. By the way, I've already put your bag in your room!"
"Thank you!"
Denny nodded and left.
After closing the door, Cecil hurriedly pushed the wheelchair forward.
"Sister, what's going on? Why did uncle say you were fine? But why didn't you come back last night?"
Rosa squatted down and smiled. She was about to explain.
"Why is your face a little swollen?" Cecil suddenly asked.
Rosa explained to him about what happened and how Hank and their aunt bullied her. Of course, she didn't say it was so horrible. She said that her aunt asked her for money and slapped her in anger.
Cecil's heart ached at once. "Curse that aunt, they're not human!"
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
"Cecil, don't get agitated. I'm fine. I've already reported it to the police!" She made up a random excuse.
Cecil nodded and said, "Thankfully I called uncle. Otherwise, I was really afraid that something would happen to you!" "You... you called uncle?"
Rosa was stunned.
So, the man could find her immediately was because of Cecil?
"I couldn't get through to Mr. Wright's phone and I panicked, so I called uncle!" Cecil explained.
Rosa nodded and said, "Thank you."
Andy...
He couldn't get through his phone?
"Sister, are you still going to school today?" Cecil asked in confusion.
"I'll go!" she said without thinking.
"Is your face okay?"
"It doesn't matter. I used to be fine even when I scratched my skin!" Rosa said as she headed to the kitchen to cook.
She was going to prepare Cecil's breakfast and lunch.
Cecil sat in the wheelchair and watched her cook.
"Cecil, I've prepared the food. You can heat it up at noon. I'm leaving now, or I'll be late!" Rosa immediately ran to her room and carried her schoolbag.
Cecil nodded and said, "By the way, sister, there are ice cubes in the refrigerator. Take a plastic bag and pack it with ice. Use it as an ice pack, you will feel better."
"Ah, smart!" Rosa quickly took a bag and filled it with some ice then bid farewell to him in a hurry.
On the bus, Rosa used the ice pack all the way to school.
"Rosa..." As soon as they entered the school, Miranda's voice came from behind.
As soon as Rosa turned around, she saw Miranda get out of the luxury car and jump over.
"Slow down!"
"Ah, I'm so tired." Miranda yawned and said, "Mondays are the worst. I can't get up at all!"
Rosa chuckled and held her schoolbag.
"Ah, these days is going to be so annoying!" Miranda pouted and muttered.
"What's wrong, princess?"
"My grandparents are coming back!" Miranda shivered and seemed a little scared.
Rosa was stunned and stopped. "Your grand... parents?"
"Yeah, my mother and my uncles' parents!" She said doubtfully, "Shouldn't you know what grandparents mean?"
Rosa hurriedly said, "No, because I have never heard you mention them. Besides, I went to their house to study during the summer break, but I never saw them. I thought..."
"What did you think? That they went to heaven? Haha, let me tell you something. The two of them are so fashionable. They even travel around the world often. I hope they keep travelling around the world. Otherwise, it will be troublesome for them to come back. They nag so much, and they're too meddlesome!"
Rosa chuckled and said, "You can't let the elderly travel all the time. They are bound to be tired after a long time."
"Of course not. Their highest record was travelling for two and a half years. This time, they came back just for my uncle's engagement. Otherwise, why do you think they came back?" Miranda pouted.
"Uncle... got engaged?"
"Yeah, he should be engaged to that woman named Baker something!"
"Really? Are you sure?" She grabbed Miranda's phone and asked in a hurry, but she could not hide the excitement in her eyes.
Miranda frowned and said, "What? Why are you so excited?"
Rosa let go of her hand and turned away. "No... nothing!"
Miranda chuckled and said, "Although I don't like that woman called Miss Baker very much, I'm quite happy that he's getting engaged. At least he doesn't have to keep an eye on me!"
"Mhm!" Rosa was inexplicably happy.
If it really turns out that way, wouldn't she be free?
Suddenly, she felt much better.
"Let's go. I'll treat you at noon!" she said happily.
"Really? Where are we eating?"
"The canteen!"
"Ha!"
"Rosa..." Suddenly, a person appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
Looking up, Miranda laughed playfully. "Wow, Mr. Wright, you're so early today!"
Andy looked at Rosa and said in a hoarse voice, "Rosa, can I say something to you?"
"Of course. You guys talk, you guys talk!" Miranda answered in her stead.
After that, Miranda took Rosa's schoolbag and said, "Rosa, take your time. I'll wait for you in the classroom!"
Rosa frowned slightly. They were in school.
If the two of them stood like this, it would easily attract everyone's attention.
"Let's talk as we walk!" Rosa lowered her head in embarrassment.
Andy nodded and walked side by side with her.
"Rosa, I'm sorry. I... I drank too much last night. I'm sorry!" He said in a hoarse voice, obviously holding back his emotions.
Rosa bit her lip and did not speak. She did not know what to say.
Andy saw that she didn't speak, so he stopped and looked sideways at her.
"Can you forgive me? Give me another chance!" His voice immediately became urgent, sounding apprehensive.
Rosa lowered her head and looked at her toes without saying anything.
She felt a sudden pang in her heart for no reason.
"Rosa..." He shouted anxiously.
She took a deep breath.
Then, she raised her head and gave him a faint smile, which looked a little painful.
"But do you really not mind? Don't you mind my first time? Don't you mind that I... entered the hotel with my uncle?"¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
