Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 104

Rosa looked at him, and tears started swelling in her eyes.

This side of him was too gentle.

Her heart fluttered.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

He gazed into her eyes and said, "I've never waited for anyone my whole life. And yet, I'm willing to wait my whole life for you. I've never cared about anyone before, but I care about you more than anyone! Why can't you see?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gave out a helpless laugh.

"Look at me, I'm not that young anymore and yet still so emotional. How annoying."

Hearing his words, Rosa who was on the verge of tears felt a lot better.

He smiled and stared at her affectionately, looking into the depths of her eyes.

She returned his gaze as tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she said with a smile, "Uncle... I'm afraid of cold. Whether it's the weather or a person's heart."

She was really timid.

Especially when it came to her feelings, she would strike back like a hedgehog, out of habit.

Her spines would trigger to protect herself, like a defence mechanism.

Henry gently tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. "I have a fiery heart. I won't treat you coldly!"

Rosa was silent. Her heart was in a mess.

"Uh..." Suddenly, the man frowned deeply. Then, he started to lose the strength in his grip.

Immediately, Rosa could feel his weight on her.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Rosa panicked and quickly tried to support his weight.

Henry barely hold himself up, but the moment he looked up once again, there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.

Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.

However, it was late autumn, so he shouldn't be sweating this much!

"Uncle..." Rosa suddenly felt a little scared.

The man chuckled and looked very helpless. "I think I've been drugged..."

He could sense the sudden changes in his body.

Being in the business world for so many years, this was the second time he had been drugged by someone.

The first time he had been drugged was his first time with her.

That was why he was so reckless!

Of course, he was annoyed that he had been tricked that time.

It was normal for him to be so furious that time.

"Should we go to the hospital?" Rosa was anxious. When she touched his body, she could feel him burning.

She was afraid of this kind of situation.

She feared that the same would happen to him, just like how Cecil went unconscious.

Because of this, she couldn't stop trembling.

"Don't be afraid!" He pressed on her shoulder to calm her down.

"What on earth is it?" Rosa was about to break down.

The man leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Then he panted as he looked at her with red eyes.

Rosa was stunned.

How could it be...

The man lifted her silky long hair with his fingers and breathed heavily. He leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, pleading, "Help me!"

Rosa was stunned. She could feel that he was burning.

She was afraid, but she was also worried and distressed.

He didn't urge her. Instead, he tried to calm his breathing as he waited for her answer.

After thinking for a few seconds, Rosa put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

The man froze in surprise, unable to react.

This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him.

In an instant, he was overwhelmed with shock and indescribable happiness.

"Lower... lower your voice, Cecil... Cecil is right next door..."

———————

The next morning...

It had been a long night. By the time she woke up was when Cecil knocked on her door.

"Sister, are you still not up yet?" Cecil asked at the door.

Rosa was shocked and her eyes flung open.

The next second, she felt a warm body clinging onto her.

Rosa froze and almost screamed.

"Sister..."

Hearing no reply, Cecil called out once again.

Rosa quickly came to her senses and stammered nervously.

"Oh... I... I've overslept. I'll... get up right away. You can go back to your room for now. I'll be right there!"

"Okay." She then heard Cecil pushing his wheelchair away.

Just as Rosa was about to let out a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a pair of warm hands.

He whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "Good morning, babe!"

Rosa was stunned. "Babe..."

"You're not allowed to run away anymore, okay?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face into the nape of her neck.

Rosa lowered her eyes, feeling conflicted.

The man seemed to have sensed it. He reached out and gently smoothed out the wrinkles on her forehead.

"As long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid. You just need to be yourself. I'll take care of everything else for you!"

Rosa thought about it for a few seconds.
