Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 125

The sound insulation in the room was not very good.

In order not to let her eavesdrop, Rosa was invited out of the house.

She stood at the door nervously.

Why did they have to lock her outside? Can't they just close the door?

She was anxious and at a loss.

She was afraid that he would agitate Cecil.

Because of this, every second was painfully long to her.

Ten minutes later...

Just as she was about to knock on the door, the door opened.

Rosa's hand stopped in the air.

"Come in for dinner." The man smiled, held her hand, and walked in.

Rosa was a little confused. She watched as he held her hand and strode into the room.

Sitting at the table, Cecil was expressionless. His tone was as calm as ever. "Let's eat, sister."

The corners of Rosa's mouth twitched slightly. "Oh." She said and continued eating mindlessly.

"What's going on?" She wondered.

"How did the discussion go?"

However, after staring at Cecil for a while, she still couldn't figure out what happened.

"Dummy, do you need me to help you with your food?" The man frowned unhappily but still served her some food on her plate.

Rosa frowned and looked at Henry in astonishment. He was acting so indifferent.

She was a little stiff.

She kept blinking her eyes at him. It was obvious that she was trying to ask him how the discussion went.

But the man pretended not to notice her signals and continued eating his meal, commenting on the restaurant. 

Rosa could feel that the atmosphere was a little strange.

As a result, she didn't even know how the food tasted after finishing the meal.

After the meal, she slowly cleaned up the table.

Her gaze wandered to the two men.

She was searching for clues or hints.

However, the both of them never even spared her a glance, so she was unable to find out what happened at all.

"Then I'll head off first!" Henry said after a while.

Rosa frowned and looked at him. Then she looked at Cecil and said, "Cecil, uh... I'll go throw the trash away..."

"Sister, my room is dirty. Please clean it for me!"

Obviously, he refused to let her go downstairs with him.

Rosa's frown deepened.

Did the discussion backfire?

Henry smiled faintly as he said, "Alright then, see you tomorrow!"

After that, he did not stay any longer and immediately left.

The siblings were the only ones left in the room.

Rosa walked into his room with a piece of cloth and said, "So, you need me to clean your desk?"

Cecil pushed his wheelchair into the room and said, "You don't have to wipe it. I might have remembered wrongly. I already wiped it in the afternoon."

Rosa's hand, which was holding the towel, stopped in place.

She stood there, a little awkward.

"Uh... Cecil... he, I mean, uncle, what did he say to you?"

"Sister, I've been working all day. I'm tired."

He made it very clear that he didn't want to talk and was about to rest.

"Oh, then... then have a good rest." She closed the door gently as she said.

Then, she quickly came to the room and called Henry.

She wanted to know what they were talking about.

However, Henry's phone was occupied.

She didn't get through to him until she fell asleep.

Early the next morning...

Rosa had dark circles under her eyes. She had lost a lot of sleep last night.

Her mind was occupied with thoughts of them arguing and how bad the discussion could've went.

Therefore, as soon as she opened the door in the morning, she rushed into Cecil's room.

However, it seemed like Cecil was not in his room. Instead, he was in the bathroom.

She stood outside the bathroom door. After thinking for a while, she said, "Cecil, I think it's better for us not to go today. Don't you want to go to the bookstore? Shall I take you to the bookstore today?"

With a "creak", the door of the bathroom opened.

Cecil pushed his wheelchair out.

Rosa was stunned.

Today, Cecil was wearing a white shirt, a brown coat, and a pair of trousers.

Dressed in casual attire, Cecil looked a lot more handsome.

Not just that, it was rare for Cecil to arrange his hairstyle today.

He looked like a graceful young man, his good looks definitely caught a lot of people's attention.

"Cecil... What are you..."

She was stunned. What was he planning?

"Sister, go and change. Let's go to the young master's birthday party."

She found it somewhat unbelievable. She raised her eyebrows and asked cautiously, "You want to attend the young master's party? Really?"

"Yes!"

Rosa didn't know how she should react.

"Get changed quickly. Someone will come to pick us up in a while," he urged.

"Who's coming to pick us up?" she asked cluelessly.

He smiled and said nothing.

"Hurry up and change."

Rosa replied with an "Oh" and went into the room to change her clothes in a daze.

Today, she changed into a white dress with her black hair draped over her back.

She didn't need to put on makeup. She was already very beautiful, looking fresh and refined.

Perhaps, even the best makeup artists couldn't achieve this effect.

Soon, the car arrived.

It was Denny.

Sitting in the car with Cecil, Rosa still seemed to be in a daze.

"Cecil, what did you guys talk about last night?"

Since he agreed to attend the party, perhaps the discussion went well.

"Sister, you fell in love with uncle, didn't you?" He stared at her with dark eyes for a moment.

Rosa avoided his gaze, and her hands trembled uneasily.

"You don't have to lie to me!"

Seeing that he already found out about everything, she instantly gave in.

Seeing this, Cecil immediately understood.

"That's why, today, we must go for your sake!"

Rosa frowned. He said it lightly, but his words weighed a lot.

It was difficult for her to guess what was on his mind. She did not quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

The car sped along the road, and it was unusually quiet.

There were only occasional notification sounds coming from Cecil's phone.

A moment later...

Rosa arrived at the Lewis Mansion once again.

She felt inexplicably familiar with this place, but she was also inexplicably afraid.

Today was Brandon's son, as well as Mrs. Lewis' grandson's birthday. It was a grand party.

Therefore, they invited a lot of friends and relatives, as well as some business partners.

So when they arrived, Lewis Mansion was extremely lively.

Miranda had been waiting at the door since morning. When she saw Denny's car, she immediately ran over.

Rosa quickly got out of the car and wanted to help Cecil open the door.

Unexpectedly, Miranda took the lead to open the car door.

The moment the car door opened, Miranda was stunned.

He...

Was this still the Cecil she knew?

Good heavens, he's so charming...

Heavens, her heart couldn't stop beating.

She even wondered if everyone could hear her heartbeat because it was too loud.

"Ms. Garcia, allow me!" Denny stepped forward and said hurriedly.

Miranda quickly came to her senses and stood aside, blushing.

Rosa took down the wheelchair while Denny helped Cecil into his wheelchair.

"Rosa, let me help!" Miranda volunteered.

Rosa didn't mind. She nodded and leaned closer to her. "Is uncle...here?"

"He's here. He's busy greeting everyone inside. He asked me to come and fetch you!"

In fact, Henry intended to welcome her personally.

But he was tied by her grandmother, so she took the initiative to welcome her instead.

They were neither too late nor too early.

When she entered, she saw a lot of guests.

"Master!" The young master ran over happily.

Seeing such a crowd, Rosa immediately got her guard up.

"Rosa is here?" Asher came over with a smile.

Rosa was close with Miranda, so Asher knew about her.

Moreover, she had a particularly good impression of her.

"Mom, I invited Rosa here," Miranda said hurriedly.

Asher chuckled and said, "I know. You guys are best friends. Rosa, no need to be shy. Have a good time. I'll go help with the others first."

"Okay, Mrs. Lewis." Rosa nodded.

"Master, I'll bring you to my room. I received a lot of Rubik Cubes today!"

I... It's not convenient for me to go upstairs like this. Cecil was a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. I have an elevator in my house. It's over there. Let's go." The young master urged him.

"Rosa, let's go up together." Miranda had not talked to Cecil yet. How could she let the young master snatch him away?

Just as Rosa was about to leave, she ran into a man.

"You're Rosa, aren't you?" He smiled playfully.

"Uncle Neil, don't try to hit on my best friend. You're not her cup of tea!" Miranda said hurriedly.

Neil looked at Miranda and frowned. "Little girl, I've taught you many times. Call me brother, brother, brother. Not uncle!"

Miranda rolled her eyes and said, "You're about the same age as my uncle, and you want me to call you brother?"

"Rosa, let's go!" Miranda knew that Neil was a playboy, so she could not leave Rosa alone with him.

"Miranda!" A dignified voice called.

Miranda trembled all over and looked at the man. The corner of her mouth twitched as she called, "Un... uncle!"

"You have nothing to do?"

"Yes, I have something to do. I will go upstairs right away." As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to grab Rosa and run away.

However, the man's voice immediately sounded once again.

"Rosa, stay."

Miranda was speechless.

Rosa was a little embarrassed. She looked at Miranda and said, "Um, please take care of Cecil. I'll join you guys later."

Seeing this, Miranda looked at her uncle and then looked at Rosa. She could only nod along.

At this time, Neil, who was watching them, walked over with red wine in his hand.

He leaned over and said, "So this is your little wife. She's so pretty!"

Henry's big hand immediately covered his face. He then pushed him back and said, "Drinking isn't enough for you to keep your mouth shut. Go have something to eat!"

"I'm not hungry. I want to see what kind of magic power this stubborn little wife of yours have." He tilted his head and looked at her. "She looks normal. Nothing special. Hey, spicy girl, how did you make him fall for you?"

Rosa was speechless.
