Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 179

"What... what did you say?"

Rosa's body started to tremble because of those words.

Her long eyelashes fluttered in disbelief.

Henry turned her around and lifted her chin. He lowered his head and approached her. His eyes were dark and deep. His hoarse voice rang out. "What happened five years ago? Are you hiding something from me?"

She raised her eyes slightly, and it was hard to tell whether the cold glint in her eyes was intentional or not. She smiled slightly and whispered, "Didn't you already know what happened five years ago? I abandoned you and our sons!"

His eyes deepened, and his lips opened to spat out two words coldly. "You're lying."

Rosa's eyes were a little uncomfortable. She bit her lips and forced an awkward smile. "Why should I lie?"

He held her shoulders and forced her to look at him.

"How can I question your love for Cecil?"

Rosa frowned and looked at him, feeling confused.

"I can doubt your love for me, but I can't doubt your love for your brother. Will you not even attend your brother's funeral just because you wanted to elope with Andy? You sold your first time for your brother's medical expenses!"

Rosa was shocked by his words.

His eyes were icy, but his voice was calm as it sounded beside her. "It was my fault. I was consumed by hatred and anger that I had never thought of these. Later, I drank to numb myself whenever I think of you, so I never doubted anything."

With this, he sneered, "Now that I've calmed down, there seem to be lots of doubts in everything!"

Rosa averted her eyes, not daring enough to look at him.

"Your brother is your life, and you were looking forward to the birth of our sons more than anyone else. Who was the one doing fetal education every night? Who was the one that slept on her side in the later stage of pregnancy so that the babies could sleep better? Can you tell me you don't love them or care about them?" he questioned her.

Rosa was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm. "You know women would do anything for love!"

"Why didn't you marry him then?"

Rosa blinked in shock. She opened her mouth, and her lips hovered, but no words came out from her mouth.

At that time, she didn't want to hurt Andy.

She didn't want to be in relationships anymore.

But she didn't expect it to become his leverage.

"So, I'm sure that you didn't have Hanna with someone else!" He announced another piece of shocking news, "Because her birthday is Cecil's death anniversary."

Rosa's legs gave in, and she fell backwards.

Her brows furrowed. He...

Did he find something?

Rosa became uneasy, and she was tense.

How could she be so careless?

She forgot to change Hanna's birthday!

"Even if you met a man half a year later, no matter how I calculate, Hanna's birthday will never fall on Cecil's death anniversary. Unless..."

Rosa stepped back little by little.

She was terrified.

Unless what?

What did he know?

"Unless you chose her birthday. So, Hanna is your adopted child, isn't she?"

Rosa stopped in her tracks.

Adopted child?

That was to say, he had not found out that Hanna was his daughter?

Her tightly knitted brows relaxed. She looked at him and did not want to explain. "Hanna is my daughter!"

She made it vague; she was neither admitting nor denying it!

"Rosa, tell me. What happened five years ago?" His eyes turned cold. "What made you leave your sons and not attend Cecil's funeral?"

After thinking for a while, Rosa looked up at him and asked, "I'll ask you a question. Can you answer me honestly?"

"Go ahead!"

"If I was drowning with your mother, who would you save? She and I can't swim! Also, you can only save one of us, and one will die!" She stared at him nervously.

An unfathomable smile flashed across the man's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do all women like asking this question?"

"Yes. It's stupid, but that's how we think. We live in a world with doubts. Can you answer me now?"

His face was cold, but his gaze burned as he started her face. His hardened face softened.

Then, he reached out to touch her lips, and his deep voice slowly sounded, "I will save my mother and die with you."

Rosa stiffened.

Then, she gave a faint smile, which was hard to understand. "But... I don't want to die..."

Did all women think his answer was romantic?

It was, and she would be moved if she had heard it five years ago.

Unfortunately, five years had passed. 

She did not find the answer romantic but cruel.

He chose his mother and never considered whether or not she wanted to live.

Sure enough, she could not trust him completely.

She didn't dare to say anything about it at all.

She was afraid, afraid that he would stop her when he knew.

She was afraid it would involve more unnecessary people if he knew.

In this case, she was better off doing it alone.

"What are you thinking about again?" Seeing her in a trance, Henry couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

When Rosa came to her senses, she saw the blood on the back of his hand, so she hurried to the edge of the bed and pressed the call button.
