Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 154

Henry went to the airport the next day.

He didn't want to leave at all, but he had to sign the contract himself.

Every passing day was important to him.

The overseas company had reduced the two weeks trip to three days for his sake.

But even so, he was still dissatisfied.

Rosa enlightened him for a whole night and told him that three days would pass soon.

He left with dissatisfaction. Not to let her be lonely, he asked Miranda to stay over.

Miranda had been keeping her company even when sleeping for the past three days.

For Miranda, it was a great thing.

In this way, she could get along with Cecil.

Henry didn't know about Miranda and Cecil.

Rosa kept it a secret. She didn't want too many people to know about their relationship, which was hard to accept.

She selfishly wanted to fulfil her brother's wish to be able to be in normal relationships.

When Miranda arrived, Rosa had just had breakfast.

"Rosa, where is Cecil?"

Miranda couldn't get used to calling Rosa her aunt.

But she would if Henry was around.

"He's out meeting his editor for a movie."

"A movie? Is his book getting adapted?" Miranda was shocked.

Rosa chuckled, "It seems so. He's been looking forward to it. It has been half an hour. I don't know if it's over."

Miranda said, "Can I pick him up?"

"Okay. I was worried about him. Call him and bring him back."

"Alright, I guarantee that I will bring him back unscathed." Miranda smiled playfully and left after saying goodbye to Aunt Abbie.

Aunt Abbie walked over and said, "Madam, what do you want to eat today? Luke won't be back until tomorrow morning. I'll make it for you today."

Rosa chuckled, "You call Luke and ask him to stay at home for two more days. He just has a grandson, so he should spend more time with his family!"

"That won't do. Luke won't agree. Besides, he has been resting for two days. If he doesn't make money, who will feed his family? His son will be disabled, and his daughter-in-law has to take care of the baby. It will cost him a lot."

Rosa did not say anything as every family had their own circumstances.

......

On the other side.

Miranda called Cecil and wanted to pick him up.

Cecil gave her his location and told her his book would be adapted into a movie.

Miranda was excited when she heard that. She said that she wanted to celebrate with him.

However, it was the peak of the traffic jam, and her BMW was stuck in it.

"Cecil, wait for me there. Don't go. I'll be there in a minute. The traffic is bad."

"Slow down. Don't worry. I want you to be safe, and I won't go anywhere. I'll wait for you here!"

"Yea. Order some food and drink for me. I'll be back in a minute," Miranda said before honking.

Cecil quickly said, "Don't be impatient. Drive well. Grace will be here soon. She's looking for me for something, so I can wait for you."

"Why is Grace looking for you?" Miranda had not been in contact with Grace for a long time.

"Probably just to see me. Drive safe and hang up. By the way, I bought you a gift."

"You bought me a gift? What is it?" Miranda asked.

"You'll know when you come. I'll hang up first. Drive safe!"

Miranda agreed and hung up the phone. Looking at the busy traffic, she gnashed her teeth in anger. City C was too crowded!

Cecil was about to call for the waiter to order some dessert for Grace.

Grace called and said, "Cecil, I had a nosebleed recently, so I can't stand the smell in the cafe. I am in a park near the cafe. Can you come here for a while?"

Cecil frowned. Park?

"There is a huge park 500 meters away from the cafe. I'm waiting for you here!"

"Okay!"

Cecil hung up the phone and wanted to call Miranda, but he decided not to after a while.

She was driving, and there were many cars on the road. If she made a phone call, she might be distracted.

She would be here in a while, and he could contact her later.

Thinking of this, Cecil took a small bag in front of him and walked out.

Five minutes later, he arrived at this big park.

It was April, and flowers were blooming in the park, attracting people.

"Cecil, over here!" Grace waved at him.

Cecil smiled and walked over with a cup of milk tea.

"Grace." He reached out and handed it to her.

Grace was stunned. She looked at the milk tea he handed over and was a little stunned.

"You said you can't stand coffee, so I brought you a cup of milk tea. I remember you and my sister like milk tea very much."

Grace looked a little uncomfortable. Back then, they didn't have any money.

Therefore, they liked making their drinks after learning about them on the Internet.

"Grace, what can I do for you?" Cecil looked at her and asked.

The corner of Grace's mouth twitched as she said, "Sit down."

This place was surrounded by green plants, and there was only one bench. It was relatively quiet.

"Why aren't you at home today?" She was still thinking about how to find an excuse to let him out.

Cecil smiled and said, "My book has been published and going to be made into a movie. Let's celebrate by then."

"Published and adapted? Wow!" Grace was a little stunned.

Cecil was a little embarrassed, and his voice was somewhat helpless. "I didn't expect that my book could be published and be made into a movie. I have never dreamed about it. I only wanted to be independent and don't make trouble for my sister."

Seeing this, Grace was upset as she wondered why everyone was so considerate of Rosa.

"Grace, what have you been up to? Why do you leave so soon when you visit?"

Grace looked at him and changed the topic, "Cecil, how have you been recently?"

Cecil frowned and kept silent. He clenched his fists and then smiled.

"Not bad. I will take good care of myself. I am looking forward to seeing my little nieces." He couldn't help smiling when he thought of the babies.

Grace hated his smile. "I came to you today because I wanted to tell you something. But I don't know if I should tell you."

Frowning, Cecil asked, "You don't have to hide anything from me!"

Grace looked at him and said, "You don't know that Mr. Lewis is planning to chase you guys away and take the children once Rosa gives birth."

Cecil frowned and asked in disbelief, "What?"

"My good friend is working as a servant in their house and heard their conversation. Mrs. Lewis will not admit your sister. They are planning to take the children and kick you and your sister out. Then, Paige will marry into the family and be the mother of your sister's children."

Cecil's chest suddenly tightened. "No, it's impossible!"

"How can I lie to you? Why do you think the Baker family has done nothing to you guys since Rosa got together with Mr. Lewis? Do you think they are afraid of Mr. Lewis?"

Cecil was silent and wore an ugly expression.

"Also, you must think that Mr. Lewis loves your sister so much and will protect you, didn't you? Haha. Do you think you can believe his words? What's more, what kind of status does he have? Will he always like your sister?" After saying that, she took out a few photos from her bag and handed them to him.

The photo was of Henry went his flight took off that morning.

And Paige was with him.

Moreover, the two of them boarded the same plane and even sat next to each other.

"Look. He likes Miss Baker!"

"No, it's not real. It's fake!" Cecil threw the photo on the ground and began to gasp rapidly.

Grace bent down and picked up the photo. "Why do you and your sister like to lie to yourselves? Can't you see if this photo is real? What ability do I have to make a fake photo?"

"No, Henry said... he said he would protect my sister and..."

"Haha. Cecil, you can write novels, but you shouldn't mix them with reality. How many rich people can be devoted to one? Who wouldn't fall in love with rich men?"

With this, she snorted, "I don't mean to say that. What will happen to you and Rosa? She would have to leave!"

Cecil held his chest and looked at her in astonishment. "My sister loves children, and so do I!"

"What's the use of love? Your sister is a burden. If they threaten her, and she refuses, they will kill you. Will she not leave by then? I am telling you this because I am Rosa's friend. Poor Rosa. You have no parents, and she has finally got married, but her husband's family doesn't approve of her. They want to steal her child and abandon her. Cecil, it's like she's giving birth to someone else's child!"

"No!" Cecil roared, "My sister is not..."

As he spoke, he gasped for breath and sweated.

"But that's the truth. Miss Baker goes shopping and has dinner with Mrs. Lewis every few days. Which woman can be so generous? Mrs. Lewis promised her. Plus, not many women want to have children at the risk of their figures." She pointed to her chest and said, "Especially this part will sag. Miss Baker can be a mother without giving birth. And the babies will be looked after by nannies. How easy."

"No, I won't... believe... Henry will agree."

"Does his opinion matter? Will he cut off the mother-and-son relationship for your sister? That's his mother. One can have many wives but only one mother."

With this, Grace looked at Cecil and said, "You are your sister's weakness. She will do anything even if she has to abandon her flesh and blood or die."

"I... I am a burden?" Cecil's face became paler and paler.

His chest rose and fell more and more rapidly.

His hands were trembling.

"I didn't say that. But she will do anything for you!"

"No... I want... I want to protect sister... they will not take... the children."

It was getting harder for him to speak.

His chest hurt more and more.

Medicine!

His medicine!

He needed to hurry up and take his medicine.

He...

He had to tell Rosa.

He had to leave.

He had to take the children too. His book was being adapted.

He could support his sister now.

Cecil gasped for breath. His hands trembled, and he opened his bag in a panic. Trembling, he took out a white medicine bottle.

No matter what would happen in the future...

He would protect his sister!

However, the medicine bottle fell to the ground.

"Medicine... medicine..." He gasped for breath, dripping in sweat.

But Grace didn't seem to see anything.

Cecil had no time to think about it. He grabbed the chair and leaned over slightly. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

His face was pale, and his hands were trembling. He wanted to hook the medicine around his feet.

"Cecil, what's wrong with you? Are you looking for medicine? I'll help you find it." She kicked the bottle onto the grass.

"Hey, where's the medicine? I didn't see it. Cecil, hold on. I'll get the car!"

As Grace spoke, she immediately ran away.

Cecil's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at her in disbelief. He wanted to grab something with his hands, but he failed and fell to the ground.
