Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 150

Time stopped.

Miranda was shocked.

Cecil was shocked too.

"Cecil, you can stand?" Miranda smiled and burst into tears.

Cecil looked at his legs and smiled.

It was a wry smile.

"Cecil, you stood up! You really did!" Miranda danced happily in front of him.

He was three years younger than him, but he was one head taller than her.

She didn't know why she cried when she saw him stand up.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Cecil felt his heart skip a beat.

He couldn't control himself and held her tightly in his arms.

Miranda was still waving her hands, but she stiffened because of his movements.

After a while, she cried with joy and hugged him tightly.

They hugged for ten minutes until Cecil's legs were sore. Then they separated.

Sitting in the chair, both of them were silent.

"Miranda..." Cecil said lightly.

Miranda clenched her fists uneasily, waiting for him to continue.

"You should know it won't work for us."

Miranda bit her lips, and her entire body tensed up.

Cecil looked forward calmly. "My life will end at any time. I can't give you a future. How can I hurt you?"

Miranda burst into tears. She grabbed his hand and said, "I don't need you to give me a future. I don't want anything. Not many couples can be together until the end of their lives. Let's just cherish it now. We can always break up if we think we are not a good fit. So why worry so much now?"

Cecil tilted his head and looked at her. He smiled and said, "Silly, I don't want to bring you any pain. You should know that in the face of death..."

"You won't die!" Miranda interrupted him, "Cecil, stop overthinking. I know you like me. You're my first love."

Cecil was stunned. 

"So, it's both our first relationships, so don't think too much. Let's forget everything and go all out, okay? Even if... even if we can't be together, we will have no regret."

Cecil looked at Miranda with distress.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone..." Miranda raised her hand and swore, "We can keep it between us."

"I... I'm afraid you'll get hurt!"

"I'm not afraid. Cecil, you're a man. Are you that timid?" Miranda was unhappy, and she sounded a little angry.

Cecil was amused by her look. He took his hand and said, "Okay, we can be together and not think about the future. Let's just live in the present!"

Miranda hugged him happily.

......

When Rosa was sleeping soundly, Aunt Abbie ran upstairs.

With a bang, the door was opened.

"Madam!" Aunt Abbie exclaimed.

Rosa was shocked and woke up.

"Aunt Abbie..." She rubbed her eyes and checked the time. She had slept for an hour.

Aunt Abbie gasped for breath as she said, "Madam, Cecil... he..."

Rosa's eyes widened. She lifted the quilt and got up. "What's wrong with Cecil?"

"Cecil... Cecil..." Aunt Abbie was too excited and kept panting.

Rosa put on her slippers, wanting to rush downstairs.

"Cecil stood up!" The moment Rosa brushed past Aunt Abbie, Aunt Abbie finally spoke.

Rosa stopped.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, her lips hovered, and her body swayed a little.

She did not turn around. She asked, "Aunt Abbie, say it again!"

"Madam, Cecil stood up. He can walk!" Aunt Abbie was so excited that she was about to jump up.

Rosa grinned, and her eyes turned red.

She quickly ran downstairs.

Downstairs, Miranda was sitting on the sofa, shaking her legs with a smile.

Cecil stood there with shining eyes and a happy smile.

Rosa's vision seemed to blur.

She went down the stairs step by step. They were 10 meters away, and her tears could not stop falling.

"Sister! I'm standing!" Cecil said in his mellow voice.

All of a sudden, tears poured from her eyes.

He smiled and opened his arms.

Rosa grinned and threw herself at him.

"Cecil..."

Cecil held her tightly and teared up too.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Isn't this good news? Rosa, you can't cry. You are pregnant!" Miranda hurriedly stood up and reminded them.

Cecil reacted and wiped her tears. "Rosa, don't cry. You can't cry!"

Rosa took a deep breath. She smiled and sobbed, "It's okay... The babies made me do it. They're happy too."

Feeling sorry for her, Cecil held her in his arms and said, "Don't cry. I will protect you in the future."

Rosa wrapped her arms tightly around his thin waist and nodded. "Okay. Now I have my brother to protect me in the future!"

Miranda also burst into tears.

She couldn't stop looking at Cecil.

Because of the news that Cecil had stood up, Rosa's mood peaked.

Everyone could feel her happiness and joy.

Cecil had never thought that she would react this way when he stood.

If he had stood up earlier, would she be happier?

Henry was happy when he came back to such a scene.

Everyone, including Miranda, held a small celebration party at home.

They celebrated Cecil's achievement and the start of more beautiful things.

Two months later.

Time flew by.

During this period, the Lewis family had been quiet for once.

Moreover, Mrs. Lewis came to Rosa's first pregnancy check-up.

Seeing that the two babies were growing healthily, Mrs. Lewis told Rosa to take care and left.

During this period, Grace would visit.

But she only stayed for a bit.

No one knew why she was in such a rush or what she was up to.

As for Paige, she would come over from time to time.

It seemed that Rosa did not fall out with Mrs. Lewis as her belly grew.

In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Paige and Mrs. Lewis was better than that between mother and daughter.

Everything was falling into place.

The Lewis Group's business was growing, but Henry would spend a few hours with Rosa.

But Henry was unhappy that they couldn't hold their wedding.

Rosa's morning sickness was bad, and she would vomit many times a day. She felt uncomfortable when she saw food.

She refused to have the wedding.

Henry's heart ached for her. He thought of having someone handling the wedding planning, and all she needed to do was attend.

She refused still. She was afraid she would vomit even when they were exchanging vows.

He had no choice but to postpone the wedding until the babies were one month old.

Rosa would always laugh at him. They had registered their marriage and were husband and wife in name.

A wedding ceremony was not necessary.

But Henry didn't think so.

He wanted to announce that he was getting married.

However, she was not in good condition now. So, they could only wait till later.

"Madam, Ms. Hendrix is here." Aunt Abbie hurried upstairs and said.

"Marlene is here." Rosa immediately put on her slippers and went downstairs.

Henry frowned and quickly followed up. "Slow down!"

"Oh, okay." Rosa smiled and stuck out her tongue.

"Mr. Lewis, Rosa." Marlene smiled and nodded.

Henry could have Rosa stay in a high-class hospital for better care.

However, Rosa wanted Marlene to be in charge of her pregnancy and no one else. She didn't want to stay at the hospital.

Henry had no choice but to have it at Marlene's hospital.

Occasionally, Marlene would come to see her.

"I feel much better today. I haven't vomited much."

"That's good. You should pay more attention to the early stage." Marlene was good to Rosa, and she would come to care about Rosa from time to time.

"By the way, Marlene, aren't you going to work today?"

"Soon. Isn't Cecil having a checkup? Let him come with me!" Marlene smiled.

"Okay!" Rosa said, looking at Henry beside her. "Aren't you going to the company?"

"Are you going to the hospital?"

"Can't I?" Rosa frowned.

"How can you take the car? You'll get nausea."

"Mr. Lewis, don't worry. Rosa can come to the hospital with me, and I can check on the fetuses' growth."

"I'll accompany her!"

Suddenly, Denny appeared. "Mr. Lewis, it's time to go."

Henry frowned. He was going to sign the contract that day.

"Mr. Lewis, go ahead. Leave Rosa to me. Don't worry!" Marlene said hurriedly, "I will ensure her safety with my life."

"Go to work. Marlene and I will be fine," Rosa said hurriedly.

Seeing this, Henry had no choice but to nod and instruct, "Cecil, take care of your sister!"

Just then, Cecil walked out. He looked at Henry and smiled. "Okay!"

After Henry's car left, their car followed suit.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor had been waiting for Cecil for a long time.

"Rosa, I'll go check first. You go with Marlene. I'll come to you later."

"Okay!" Rosa told him to be careful, and she followed Marlene into the gynaecological department.

Marlene took her to her office, closed the door, and looked gloomy.

Seeing this, Rosa frowned. "Marlene, what's wrong?"

"Rosa, there's something I've been keeping from you!" Marlene sighed.

Rosa frowned, feeling uneasy. "Marlene... What's the matter?"

"You're not pregnant with twins..."

Rosa's eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief. "I-I am not pregnant with twins? But we saw it on the ultrasound."

"It was that way on the first ultrasound, but I concealed the last month's examination!"

Rosa bit her lip and looked uneasy. "Marlene... what do you mean? Do you mean that it's just one baby now?"

Marlene shook her head and said, "No, it's not one but three."

Rosa covered her mouth.

Three...

Triplets?

Marlene frowned and said, "Rosa, don't be happy too early. I have to tell you a cruel truth!"

"What... what are you going to say?"
