Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 82

"Don't... don't do this..."

"No, don't leave me... Please don't leave... don't leave me behind..."

"Rosa... Rosa..." A gentle voice sounded in her ear anxiously.

"Don't... don't leave me behind... Don't go, don't go..."

"Wake up, Rosa, wake up!"

"Ah—" Rosa's eyes widened in an instant.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here!" The man immediately hugged her and patted her back gently.

Rosa gasped for breath as he held her tightly in his arms.

Her forehead and hair were drenched because of the nightmare.

In the quiet environment, there was only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall.

The night was very quiet.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream!" The gentle voice said softly beside her, giving her comfort.

Rosa panted for a while before she came to her senses.

"Where, where am I? Where's my brother?" She raised her head in confusion, her vision was clouded.

He reached out and tugged her hair behind her ear. He said gently, "We're at Silver Beach. Cecil is in his ward. I'll bring you to him at dawn."

Rosa was stunned for a moment before she realized what had happened.

"Why are you on my bed?" She came to her senses after a while.

"You've been crying, so I came to check on you!"

"Oh," she said and then continued, "Thank you. I'm fine now. Uncle, go back and rest!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved out of his embrace.

Then, she positioned herself to defend herself against him.

He smiled helplessly and touched her nose as he said, "You little thing, Can you not be so heartless, hmm?"

Rosa felt a little uncomfortable. She lay down and shrank into the quilt. "Uncle, go back to your room and rest. It's getting late!"

"Aren't you afraid of having a nightmare?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Rosa was a little embarrassed. "No, I'm not afraid. Compared to you, nightmares are much better!"

As soon as she finished her words, she was stunned.

Huh? Did she just spill her thoughts?

Henry looked at her shocked expression and he swallowed. He felt the temperature rising a little and couldn't look away from her.

Rosa bit her lips and covered herself with the quilt. Then, she looked at him and muttered, "Uncle... I'm going to sleep!"

Henry sighed in a low voice. He resisted his urge and lay down as well.

Rosa's eyes widened in shock.

He rubbed his chin against her head and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Don't push me away, okay?"

Rosa was stunned by his words and didn't know how to answer.

"I'll sleep with you in my arms. I won't force you to do anything, okay?"

"But... you're hugging me so tightly... I... I feel so uncomfortable..."

Her soft voice touched his heart.

With that cute and lovely face of hers, her eyes shimmered as she begged him.

"Uncle... I can't breathe..."

He glanced at her and smiled faintly. "Then I'll loosen my grip a bit!"

He moved to the side and loosened his grip.

Just as Rosa was about to speak, he said, "Alright, go to sleep. You won't have nightmares anymore!"

All of a sudden, Rosa was speechless.

"How am I supposed to sleep like this?" She thought.

And yet, she was the first one to fall asleep!

However, it wasn't easy for the other person to sleep.

Early the next morning, when Rosa woke up.

Sounds of someone taking a shower came from the bathroom.

She frowned and was a little puzzled.

"Why is he taking a shower so early in the morning?" She wondered.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She limped as she was about to put on some clothes.

Unexpectedly, she knocked down the trash can beside her.

Immediately, all the rubbish inside were scattered across the floor.

Rosa hurriedly squatted down and picked up the garbage.

The bathroom door opened.

The man wrapped himself in a bath towel and wiped his hair.

"Hmm? You're awake?" His hand, which was wiping his hair, paused slightly and looked at her.

Rosa lowered her head and blushed as she wiped her hands, ignoring him.

It was so early in the morning, and her sudden awkwardness made Henry a little confused.
