The man was back.
He knew about it right away.
He was afraid that her feelings would waver.
After all, that man was her first love!
Rosa's uneasy heart calmed down at his words.
She slowly hugged him back and said, "Uncle, are you that insecure?"
He was stunned and released her from his embrace.
With a frown, he looked at her in disbelief.
Rosa chuckled and hooked her arms around his neck. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Henry looked at her and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Naughty girl, you know I'm worried about you and yet you're teasing me?" The man took her into his arms again and said, "I'm so enamoured by you. What should I do?"
Rosa was held in his arms. She only thought that his faint minty scent was incredibly pleasant.
The scent was so calming that the doubts in her heart slowly dissipated.
"What should I do? I really want to tell everyone that you're mine. That way, you can't run away!"
"Ha!" She listened to his childish words and couldn't help but smile. "Uncle, you're so powerful, why are you still afraid?"
"Even someone powerful would have their own weaknesses." His gaze was soft and filled with affection for her.
Rosa wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned closer to him. "Don't be afraid!"
There were many things that she couldn't say out loud.
But to Henry, these two words were the best reassurance she could give him.
After embracing for while, Rosa was ready to leave.
"Rosa..." He held her hand and couldn't bear to let go.
"Uncle... Cecil called me!" Rosa frowned and looked at him who wasn't letting go of her.
It was funny, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Indeed, Cecil had called over two times asking why she hadn't gone back for so long.
She hurriedly said that she was on the way back and would arrive soon.
"I can't sleep on my own..." He hugged her as he pleaded with his face at her neck.
Rosa curled up in his arms and giggled. "Uncle, stop it!"
"Rosa, can I go back with you?" He landed countless kisses on her neck.
Rosa retracted from his kisses shyly and said, "Uncle, we're at public..."
Although it was late at night, there were still people in the area.
Moreover, he was such a handsome man.
Naturally, he would attract even more attention.
"I want to sleep with you in my arms..." The man didn't want to be separated from her at all. Not even for a minute.
Otherwise, he would start to overthink.
"Uncle..." Rosa panted slightly as she avoided his touch. "Don't be like this!"
He was in a better mood when he noticed her quickened breathing and her pink ears.
He pulled her closer, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "Are you turned on?"
Rosa looked up in astonishment, and her heart trembled.
"No... not at all!"
However, her body trembled slightly, exposing her true feelings.
His eyes were deep. He brushed the hair from her forehead with his slender fingers flirtatiously. "Alright, you're not, but I am!"
"I'm not talking to you anymore!" Rosa turned around and was about to leave.
She was afraid that the longer she stayed, the more she would be affected by him.
The man grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.
Because of the sudden motion, she immediately looked back. He pinched her chin and kissed her passionately.
A few minutes later...
If he wasn't worried about her losing her breath...
He definitely wouldn't have her go.
"I'm letting you off today, but only for today!"
He was already in his thirties and had been holding back for so many years.
It was fine since he didn't have someone he cared deeply for.
But now that he'd found his true love, he didn't want to hold back anymore.
"Drive safely. I'll head back now!" Rosa lowered her head, not daring to look up.
The next second, she slipped away from his arms.
At this moment, Henry finally calmed his heart down.
—
The next day...
Rosa held her phone and frowned.
After she came back last night, she called Miranda.
However, Miranda didn't answer her calls at all.
She knew that she was angry. If she was in a movie, she definitely would've been the villainess.
She had no choice but to send her a serious message.
After a while, she received a reply.
"Come out for lunch, at Customade."
Seeing this, Rosa chuckled. "This girl..."
Knowing that she was not angry, she let the matter go.
Then, she went to cook in the kitchen. Today, she made some fish and chips with some mushroom soup.
"What else can I do? There's no place for me in his heart at all. What's the use of me working hard?" After saying that, Freda sighed deeply. "You don't even know how much I love him!"
"Hadn't you... slept with him before?"
"Ha!" Freda felt helpless when she mentioned it.
"So what if we slept? Moreover, I was the one who initiated that night..." Freda snorted, finding her actions ridiculous.
The friend said helplessly, "Freda, what are you doing? Don't you know who you are? Why did you have to put yourself down like that?"
"Because I like him!"
Indeed, she did it because she liked him.
That's why she didn't feel bad about it.
However, being abroad with him for all these days...
She had been trying hard to win over his heart.
But he never even spared her a glance.
Her friend was silent for a while.
Then she said, "It's not easy to find someone you fancy these days. Since you like him, then you should take the initiative. His mother won't accept her anyway. As long as you put in the effort, his parents will only accept you!"
"So what? It's not like he would listen!" This was what annoyed her most.
"Why not? What's so good about that girl? I think it won't be long before he gets tired of her!" The friend hurriedly replied.
"Is that so? I don't think he would. Did you know that he attempted suicide because of that woman?" Freda found it funny, but she was even more heartbroken.
"What? He attempted suicide for that female student?" The friend's jaw dropped.
Rosa widened her eyes in horror and listened to the conversation behind her in disbelief.
"Yes, that day he seemed to want to explain something to her. But in the end, his mother locked him up and he couldn't go. So, he kept begging and pleading but she wouldn't allow him to go to her. As a result, he started cutting his wrist..."
"Heavens, he's that head over heels for her?" The friend cried out loud.
"Yeah. That's why. Do you think I still have hope?" Freda was very helpless.
Why wasn't this man in love with her?
"I only heard that the Wright family offended someone and had no choice but to move away. I never heard anything about him attempting suicide!" The friend was a little shocked.
"It's all because of that woman. That woman was so amazing. While she seduced him, she seduced another man at the same time. He's the famous Henry Lewis in City C!"
"He...Henry Lewis?" The friend was incredibly shocked.
"In fact, many media outlets know about this matter, but no one dares to reveal it. How could the Wright family go against him? So, the man asked Andy to send her to his bed. Otherwise, the Wright family will be completely destroyed. That day, his mother obliged!"
"Oh my god..." The friend exclaimed, "What magic does that girl have? Isn't she just a poor student?"
"Don't forget, she's the type of girl that people wouldn't forget!"
"Then how dare he come back? Isn't he afraid of what Henry would do to him?"
"Who knows? He's asking for death. He made that clear to me. So, it's impossible for us to have a future together." Freda said before she picked up a glass of wine and drank it.
Rosa sat alone at the table.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Her nails were deeply rooted into her flesh, yet she didn't notice it.
