Love After One-Night Stand With CEO Chapter 85
“Sister… sister…” Cecil called a few times.
“Ah…” Rosa suddenly came to her senses. She looked at Cecil and said, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
No! Don’t be nervous! Cecil said hurriedly.
He knew she was worried about him the most.
Therefore, even if he was a little uncomfortable, he was not willing to show it.
“Sister, why have you so distracted after uncle and the others left?” Cecil was a little confused.
That’s right, ten minutes ago, her uncle and Miranda had already left.
“No, I… I’m thinking about something…”
“What are you thinking about? You kept getting lost in thought.”
“Nothing. It’s about my studies. Oh, you must be hungry. I’ll buy you something to eat!” Rosa said and was about to stand up.
“There’s no need, sister. By the way, tell my uncle that I don’t need special orders from the canteen. I think the normal food is also very delicious. There is no need to make special dishes. I think… we owe uncle too much. In the future… it won’t be easy to pay him back!”
Since the death of their parents, they had experienced good and bad.
They knew most that not many people would be willing to help.
Therefore, it was even harder for them to repay his kindness.
“Don’t worry, I know!” How could she not think of what Cecil had thought of?
That house…
It was the matter that worried her the most.
———————
At Lewis Mansion…
“Grandpa, grandma…” As soon as Miranda entered the house, she called out with a smile.
“Miranda is here!” A woman in her sixties said as she walked over.
Although her hair was a little gray, her face was well maintained. There weren’t too many wrinkles on her face.
Her dress was more fashionable and she even looked like a model. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Miranda saw her grandmother, who was in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She thought to herself, “There must be something bad going on.”
“You little girl, can’t you come to visit on your own? Would you have not shown up if I didn’t let your uncle fetch you?” Mrs. Lewis was very dissatisfied.
“Grandfather…” Miranda immediately looked at her grandfather for help.
An old man in his seventies sat on the sofa with his legs crossed as he read the newspaper gracefully.
Hearing Miranda’s request for help, the old man put down the newspaper and waved at her with a smile. “Come here, Miranda.”
Although the old man was in his 70s, he was still really… handsome!
Miranda lowerny did you go to Miranda had always felt that her uncle had completely inherited the best genes of her grandparents! “On my way, I’m coming.” Miranda immediately ran to the sofa and sat down beside the old man. “Grandpa, what are you looking at? “Hey, Miranda, come here. Why did you go to your grandfather? I have a photo to show you!” Mrs. Lewis said hurriedly. “Grandfather…”
Miranda lowered her head and muttered, “She’s doing it again!” “Miranda, this time it looks great. It was chosen by your aunt. One of the best!” As she spoke, Mrs. Lewis came over and was about to hold her hand. “Grandfather, Grandfather…” Miranda immediately shrank back. “Hayleigh, stop pressuring Miranda. You do this every time!” Mr. Lewis said hurriedly. “I’m doing this for her. I don’t need to worry about Henry now. The only one who is ready to get married is Miranda.
This is my granddaughter. If I don’t take care of her, who will?” Mrs. Lewis quickly rolled her eyes at her husband. “Mom, aren’t you tired?” Henry changed his clothes and went downstairs. Mrs. Lewis looked at her son and immediately frowned. “What happened to you? I called you so many times yesterday, but you didn’t come back. Paige has been waiting for you for so long!” Henry smiled, walked to the sofa, and sat down. Luke immediately served his favourite coffee.
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly said, “Hey, what happened? You showed up once at the engagement party last time, and then you disappeared. Do you know that the Baker family have a strong opinion about this?” “Strong opinion? Then just call it off!” He sat there lazily, with his lips slightly raised and looking indifferent. Mrs. Lewis was stunned. She immediately reached out her hand and slapped him on the shoulder. “Call it off? call what off? Do you know how good this marriage will be for your career? In the future, you will dominate City C!” Henry raised his eyebrows and looked at his mother.
“Mom, without them, Lewis is still immovable!” Mrs. Lewis hurriedly said, “Sigh, my son. You’ve been spoiled by us, how arrogant. Let me tell you, the Baker family will benefit you, they won’t be completely useless!” The Lewis’ could be this wealthy because of their daughter and two sons including Henry. All
of them had the most successful careers. It was all because of the two of them who built a foundation for them from the very beginning.
She knew better than anyone else who could bring glory to the Lewis’. Paige was the only daughter of the Baker family. Their entire fortune would belong to her in the future. Moreover, Paige was head over heels for Henry. One day, all her property would belong to him! “Mom, the Lewis’ doesn’t need marriage to be successful!” “I know you’re amazing. Yes, I admit that you’re a hundred times more capable than your elder sister and your brother. However, this Paige is beautiful and she’s head over heels for you.
She comes from an incredible background. She’s a good match for you! What’s there to be dissatisfied with?” Mrs. Lewis said hurriedly. Henry frowned slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped arguing. “Hey, let me tell you. I only take Paige as my daughter-in-law. Don’t mess around outside!” Mrs. Lewis immediately said. “That’s enough, Hayleigh. Henry is grown up now. He knows what he’s doing!” Seeing his wife getting off topic, Mr. Lewis couldn’t help but say something.
“That’s right. Don’t worry about it, grandma!” Miranda immediately said.
“Sigh, this child…”
“Madam, Miss Baker is here!” The servant immediately stepped forward and said.
Mrs. Lewis smiled and said, “Paige is here!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately walked out with a smile.
Henry frowned and looked at his father. “Who invited her?”
Mr. Lewis shrugged. His expression was self-evident.
“Oh my god, why do I have to meet that cringey woman every time I come back for dinner?” Miranda rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
Yes, she just didn’t like that woman very much.
“Enough. Don’t talk too much. That’s your aunt!” Mr. Lewis hurriedly stopped Miranda from complaining.
Miranda pouted and stood up. “I’m going to see the young master!”
After that, she ran straight to the second floor.
At this moment, Paige walked over with a smile.
Today, she specially put on delicate makeup and wore an elegant dress. Her entire look was impeccable.
“Hello, uncle!” Paige was unusually obedient and called out sweetly.
“Paige is here. Come sit!” Mr. Lewis smiled.
“Paige, sit here. Come sit with Henry!” Mrs. Lewis immediately grabbed Paige and shoved her beside Henry.
Paige was a little shy and her gaze kept wandering to the man beside her.
Mrs. Lewis said to her husband in a hurry, “Let’s go check what dishes they’re making in the kitchen.”
“Didn’t you already find out what dishes they are making in the morning?” Mr. Lewis held the newspaper and said without looking up.
Mrs. Lewis frowned and kicked him.
“Hurry up and take a look!” Mrs. Lewis said unhappily.
Seeing this, Mr. Lewis pouted and got up helplessly. “Okay, okay, okay, let’s go and have a look!” Mrs. Lewis smiled and said, “Paige, you should have a chat with Henry. We’ll call you when the meal is ready.” Then, she left with her man. In the living room, the servants were also very aware of the situation and left to work. The huge living room was suddenly silent Henry took a sip of coffee, put it down, and turned on his phone to read the documents. Paige turned her head to look at him and said softly,
“Er… where did you go yesterday? I couldn’t get through to you…” “What’s the matter?” The man’s eyes never left the phone, and his voice was faint. “No, I just… just wanted to ask what you did yesterday. By the way, last time you suddenly left during our engagement… My parents… my parents…” “Were not satisfied?” He turned his head and narrowed his eyes mysteriously. “No, no, it’s just… I just feel like you’re very busy. I know, there are a lot of things happening in your company.
Don’t worry, I already explained it to my parents. Uh… I want to ask you, can you spare some time to have a meal with my parents?” The man lazily narrowed his eyes and looked away indifferently. “Paige, this isn’t what we agreed from the beginning!” Paige furrowed her brows and tightly grasped the hem of her skirt uneasily. “What’s wrong? Or have you changed your mind?” His tone was chilling. Paige’s expression immediately changed.
“No, I just think… we can do better, can’t we? Besides, you also need to rely on Baker Enterprise, don’t you?” Paige frowned deeply, and her eyes were filled with sorrow. Her love for him was real. However, she had never been able to guess his intentions. She wasn’t even sure if he was into women. Did he even have the heart to love someone? But even so, she still fell in love with him without reason. “Master, Miss Baker, it’s time for dinner!” Luke hurried over and said. “Did you inform my brother?” He hadn’t seen Brandon for a long time. He didn’t know how busy he was these days.
“I’ve already informed Master Brandon, but the Eldest Lady has just called and said that she can’t come tonight because she has something else to do. For Miss Garcia, there will be a driver to pick her up!” Mr. Carter said. “Okay!” Luke immediately went upstairs to call them. Henry put away his phone and stood up. Paige immediately stood up nervously.
“Make the arrangements. Let me know the details of the meal!” His voice was calm and cold. “Okay!” Even so, Paige felt extremely honored. The next second, the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly curved upwards. “Henry, you’ll see my true feelings sooner or later. “I swear, you’ll definitely marry me!” She thought.
