Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 136

Inside the VIP ward...

In the end, Henry came alone.

He wasn't afraid of provoking his mother.

Because he knew that her condition had always been great.

He was worried that he would make her angry if he brought her here.

"All of you, get out. Let me have a word with Henry."

Mrs. Lewis didn't look very well.

Mr. Lewis frowned. He looked at Henry and warned, "Don't upset your mother, okay?"

Henry nodded.

After that, everyone in the room went out.

Mrs. Lewis pointed at the leather sofa as she said, "Why are you standing there? Sit down."

Henry elegantly took off his coat and then sat on the sofa, looking at his mother.

"Ha..." She sighed deeply.

Then, she frowned helplessly and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you like about her?"

His eyes flickered as he smiled deeper. "We really are mother and son, we're thinking about the same thing. Then, what part of her do you not like?"

"Everything!" Mrs. Lewis frowned and said unhappily.

"The man chuckled and said, "Then I don't have to say my answer. Otherwise, you'll get angry again."

Mrs. Lewis sat up and looked at him. She said earnestly, "You've always been obedient and sensible. Did you really not think about what you've done wrong?"

Henry was silent. The only thing he probably did wrong was not choosing a wife according to her standards.

"Henry, I know that you've been working very hard for the past ten years. But who would've thought that your big brother wasn't good enough to deal with business matters? You did so well because you inherited your father's talents. You also know that these ten years were not so easy for you. You know better than anyone else the hardships you went through. So, you must cherish what you have now!"

A dull smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Mrs. Lewis figured that he listened, so she added, "Baker enterprise is the only family that is compatible with ours. Paige is also an only daughter. If you marry her, it will not only benefit us but anyone in the Lewis family!"

Henry's eyes darkened as he said, "Anyone... in the Lewis family? What do you mean, anyone? Our relatives?"

"That's right. They are all very envious!"

Henry sneered and said coldly, "Why should I let others benefit from everything I've worked hard for?"

Mrs. Lewis was stunned. She frowned and said, "They're family, not outsiders. Bah, let's not talk about them. Your child can benefit from this in the future. He could work less for 50 years. Even if he doesn't work his whole life, he could still be fine!"

After saying that, she said angrily, "And yet if you choose that woman, you have to work hard all over again. What can she do for you?"

Henry's gaze darkened slightly and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"If I give birth to such a failure, I might as well strangle him to death!"

Mrs. Lewis was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Mom, not all children should be spoiled. It's my responsibility to raise them, but it doesn't mean that I have to raise them their whole life. They should work for their own needs!"

"What are you talking about? You are the child's father. Isn't it your job to secure your child's happiness?"

"The best we could do is to give them the best education and let them grow. We're not raising a parasite. You asked what she could give me. She can give me the world!"

After ten years of hard work and meddling in the business world, he was tired. Both mentally and physically.

If he even had to compromise with someone he didn't even love...

Then what was the point of living?

Mrs. Lewis understood what he meant and said coldly, "Are you saying that you won't give up on her?"

"From the moment I decided to chase after her, I never thought of letting her go!"

Mrs. Lewis hurriedly said, "Ha, how could you be so disobedient! You can still marry Paige and fool around with her. Wealthy people nowadays are like that. You could also do it!"

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Hadn't you cried enough because of father when you were young?"

Mrs. Lewis was stunned by his words.

Indeed, her husband had a lot of affairs.

Because of this, she had cried for countless nights.

Those dark days had almost made her give up.

"Mom, it seems like you're fine after all. It's getting late. I still have work tomorrow. I'll head back now!"

"Henry!" Mrs. Lewis called out to him.

Henry stopped in his tracks, but he did not turn around.

"I will never accept her!" Mrs. Lewis added, "No matter what you say, I won't accept her. And, you will regret it!"

"Regret it?"

"You both don't belong in the same world. This relationship won't last for long!

Henry sneered as he said, "That's true. A lifetime isn't long enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his clothes on the side and left.

The next day...

Miranda had a fever early in the morning.

No one knew exactly how she got a fever.

She was sent back to the Garcia family by her driver this morning.

However, Rosa felt that this matter must have something to do with Henry.

Last night, he yelled at her.

She must be scared.

But what she didn't know was...

Miranda really couldn't fall asleep all night.

However, it wasn't because of her uncle that kept her awake.

Instead, it was because of the young man next door who kept her heart racing.

After breakfast, Rosa went to school in Henry's car.

The two were arguing about how she would go home in the afternoon.

He wanted to pick her up from school.

On the other hand, she wanted to take the bus home.

Because of this, she was upset for the entire ride.

Henry had no other choice.

"Fine, you can take the bus. But you have to message me!" He helplessly obliged.

This little wife of his was good at everything, but sometimes she was too stubborn.

Only then did Rosa nod with a smile.

She didn't think that everything would change after getting married.

Today, Miranda had a fever and did not go to school. So, she started to focus on studying.

The exams were near. She had to make full use of the time.

Soon, the bell started ringing.

The first class was English. She planned to specialize in this in the future.

Therefore, she took every English class very seriously.

More than ten minutes after the class, a teacher started knocking outside the door.

Then, the English teacher went out. A few moments later, she returned to class and said,

"Rosa, someone is looking for you in the conference room. You should head over there!"

Rosa stood up and frowned.

Who would come to see her during class?

They even requested to meet at the conference room.

This person must be someone important.

Rosa walked out of the classroom and soon arrived at the conference room.

When she opened the door, she was stunned.

Mrs. Lewis was sitting elegantly in the conference room.

Rosa immediately got her guard up.

Did she come to look for her?

"Are you going to stand there while I talk to you?" Mrs. Lewis narrowed her eyes and asked coldly.

Rosa bit her lip, closed the door, and then walked forward.

"What can I do for you, Mrs. Lewis?" She asked politely.

"Where are your manners? You're calling me Mrs. Lewis after secretly getting a marriage certificate?" She sneered.

Rosa frowned and could not help but refute. "Didn't you not approve of me? Should I call you 'mother' instead?"

"Do you think you deserve to?" She uttered these words full of sarcasm.

Rosa's face darkened in an instant. It seemed that she was here to make trouble.

No matter what she did, she would not be satisfied.

"Tell me, how much do you want for you to leave my son?"

Rosa was speechless.

How cliche.

A powerful mother-in-law, looking to get rid of a penniless Cinderella.

She was doing this for the sake of the true princess.

Ha, this plot is too cliche.

And yet this cliche situation happened to her.

She smiled all of a sudden. Had she become the heroine of this story?

"What, are you trying to act all high and mighty? Telling me that you don't need money?" 

It seemed as if she also knew about the typical outcome of this plot.

However, Rosa chuckled and looked at her. "Do you think I should play along? What if I said, you can give me how much you think your son is worth?" 

Mrs. Lewis was stunned. Immediately after, her facial muscles started trembling.

"Ha, you really are incredible. Is this your true self?"

"I don't mind if you think so."

She knew that she wasn't fond of her.

Perhaps, even if she worked hard, she could not meet her standards.

So, why would she want to try so hard to please her?

In the end, not only would she not end up well, she would've been furious.

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Lewis's laugh made her feel uncomfortable.

She glared at Rosa and chuckled slightly. "Then, how much do you think your brother is worth?"

Rosa froze in place, and her face turned pale. "What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that her calm face suddenly lose all colour...

She sneered and said, "So, my son can't compare to that disabled brother of yours?"

"My brother is not disabled!" Her eyes turned cold in an instant.

"But I have a way to make him truly disabled!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Your brother has a complex heart condition and could die anytime. You know this better than I do. If your brother is agitated..."

"How dare you!" Rosa rushed forward, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Since you're willing to do anything for your brother, why wouldn't I do anything for my son?" She laughed coldly.

"If you do this, Henry won't spare you!"

"Haha!" She found it even funnier. "Rosa, do you really think you're that important? How long have you been together with my son? Have you ever counted the days you've been together? Do you think he would go against his own mother for you?" 

At this moment, Rosa's face was completely pale...
