Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 128

Facing everyone's criticism, Rosa was terrified.

She'd never been in such a situation. Her body started trembling uncontrollably.

Henry's hand gently caressed her, telling her not to be afraid.

"Mr. Baker, everyone already knew. You don't have to act all high and mighty!"

Who would've thought about their own daughter in this arranged marriage?

For the most part, it was for business.

Now he was acting as if he cared about his daughter's feelings, making a joke out of himself.

"Henry, if you insist on marrying that woman, Baker family will definitely not let you off easily!" Mr. Baker said fiercely at this moment.

The man narrowed his eyes in a threatening manner and raised his voice slightly as he said, "Mr. Baker, if you insist on objecting to this marriage, I don't mind going against you. We'll see who wins!"

Mr. Baker's expression froze and he shook in anger.

Everyone knew about this man's reputation in the business world.

If he made this decision, he definitely had planned everything out.

In an instant, Mr. Baker calmed down.

"Henry, what are you saying!" Mrs. Lewis scolded him loudly.

"Mom, I'm happy to introduce you to your daughter-in-law, Rosa!" After saying that, he looked at Rosa and smiled lovingly. "Good girl. She's your mother-in-law."

Mrs. Lewis' face had already darkened. Then, she looked at the crowd and said, "I'm sorry everyone, today's banquet will end earlier than planned. We'll make it up to you all next time!"

Although everyone still wished to stay and gossip...

None of them had the courage to do so.

"Let's go!" Leonardo said to Neil.

Neil frowned and said, "What are you doing? The show is still on. Go where? I'm not going anywhere!"

He was indeed such a cheeky person. There wasn't a moment where he was embarrassed.

Seeing that he wasn't going to move, Leonardo couldn't leave either.

And so, he stayed.

Soon, all the relatives and friends in the house had left.

Only the closest relatives were here.

Of course, this included Mr. and Mrs. Baker as well as Paige.

Mrs. Lewis looked at Neil and said, "Mr. White, please head back. Henry will make it up to you next time!"

"It's alright, Mrs. Lewis. It's not like I'm an outsider. I don't have to go. Moreover, I already knew about Henry's relationship." Neil said insensitively.

"You know all about it?" Mrs. Lewis suddenly raised her voice.

Leonardo quickly tugged on Neil's hand to shut him up.

"Henry, how could you fool around like this? Is Paige not good enough?" Mrs. Lewis asked angrily.

Paige on the other hand was already in tears.

She wasn't doing this for show. It was her real tears.

She had loved him for so many years.

She had accompanied him for so many years.

He had never looked at her with such gentle eyes, and yet he was looking at that woman ever so gently. 

"There, there, Paige. Auntie will help you." Mrs. Lewis hurriedly held Paige's hand to comfort her.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Baker did not speak, their gazes were filled with resentment.

But obviously, they did not want to fall out with each other.

"Henry, I don't care what you do, but I will not compromise anyone else other than Paige to be my daughter-in-law!"

Hearing this, Rosa bit her lips and her face turned pale.

"Mother, is it her status, or is it her personality that you like?" Henry questioned his own mother without holding back.

Mrs. Lewis's face darkened as she said, "What are you talking about? Paige is such a nice girl. She is a perfect match for you."

"Henry, stop fooling around!" Mr. Lewis finally said.

Henry was the most successful of the three children. 

He was also the one who had the most assets.

He never had to worry about his actions.

But what happened today had crossed the line. He had to stop him.

"Fooling around? I was only asking, what's so bad about her?" His tone also became gloomy.

"Stop it!" Rosa tugged on his waist, and her eyes had teared up.

"Where did she come from? What does her parents do? She seems to be about the same age as Miranda. Could it be that she is a college student?" Mrs. Lewis sneered and said, "Ha! College students nowadays really would do anything to climb the social ladder."

Rosa bit her lip, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Let me tell you, no matter how you seduced my son, don't ever dream of marrying into our family!" Mrs. Lewis threatened her in front of the Bakers.

"Mrs. Lewis..." Paige choked in between sobs.

"Don't worry. I'm here. My daughter-in-law's last name can only be Baker!" 

"Henry, don't upset your mother. If you stop now, the Bakers will take it as a joke. Let's go!" Mr. Lewis hurriedly said, giving Henry another chance.

"Mother, father, I didn't bring her here today to get your approval. I'm just informing you!" He said in a low voice, clear and in an orderly manner.

"Henry!" Mrs. Lewis was furious.

"Henry, stop talking. We can talk about it later at night!" Asher immediately went forwards and pulled on his clothes as she said. 

"Sister, I remember you said that you'll bring the biggest gift when I get married. You can start preparing now!" He laughed, determined to get what he want.

Asher's hand froze in place.

Geoffrey immediately went forward and pulled his wife aside. He frowned and said in a soft voice, "Don't you know what Henry is like? Would he do this if he wasn't confident?" 

"We won't approve!" Mrs. Lewis said hurriedly.

"I'm the one who's getting married. I don't need your permission!" He laughed coldly.
