Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 136

Inside the VIP ward...

In the end, Henry came alone.

He wasn't afraid of provoking his mother.

Because he knew that her condition had always been great.

He was worried that he would make her angry if he brought her here.

"All of you, get out. Let me have a word with Henry."

Mrs. Lewis didn't look very well.

Mr. Lewis frowned. He looked at Henry and warned, "Don't upset your mother, okay?"

Henry nodded.

After that, everyone in the room went out.

Mrs. Lewis pointed at the leather sofa as she said, "Why are you standing there? Sit down."

Henry elegantly took off his coat and then sat on the sofa, looking at his mother.

"Ha..." She sighed deeply.

Then, she frowned helplessly and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you like about her?"

His eyes flickered as he smiled deeper. "We really are mother and son, we're thinking about the same thing. Then, what part of her do you not like?"

"Everything!" Mrs. Lewis frowned and said unhappily.

"The man chuckled and said, "Then I don't have to say my answer. Otherwise, you'll get angry again."

Mrs. Lewis sat up and looked at him. She said earnestly, "You've always been obedient and sensible. Did you really not think about what you've done wrong?"

Henry was silent. The only thing he probably did wrong was not choosing a wife according to her standards.

"Henry, I know that you've been working very hard for the past ten years. But who would've thought that your big brother wasn't good enough to deal with business matters? You did so well because you inherited your father's talents. You also know that these ten years were not so easy for you. You know better than anyone else the hardships you went through. So, you must cherish what you have now!"

A dull smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Mrs. Lewis figured that he listened, so she added, "Baker enterprise is the only family that is compatible with ours. Paige is also an only daughter. If you marry her, it will not only benefit us but anyone in the Lewis family!"

Henry's eyes darkened as he said, "Anyone... in the Lewis family? What do you mean, anyone? Our relatives?"

"That's right. They are all very envious!"

Henry sneered and said coldly, "Why should I let others benefit from everything I've worked hard for?"

Mrs. Lewis was stunned. She frowned and said, "They're family, not outsiders. Bah, let's not talk about them. Your child can benefit from this in the future. He could work less for 50 years. Even if he doesn't work his whole life, he could still be fine!"

After saying that, she said angrily, "And yet if you choose that woman, you have to work hard all over again. What can she do for you?"

Henry's gaze darkened slightly and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"If I give birth to such a failure, I might as well strangle him to death!"

Mrs. Lewis was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Mom, not all children should be spoiled. It's my responsibility to raise them, but it doesn't mean that I have to raise them their whole life. They should work for their own needs!"

"What are you talking about? You are the child's father. Isn't it your job to secure your child's happiness?"

"The best we could do is to give them the best education and let them grow. We're not raising a parasite. You asked what she could give me. She can give me the world!"

After ten years of hard work and meddling in the business world, he was tired. Both mentally and physically.

If he even had to compromise with someone he didn't even love...

Then what was the point of living?

Mrs. Lewis understood what he meant and said coldly, "Are you saying that you won't give up on her?"

"From the moment I decided to chase after her, I never thought of letting her go!"

Mrs. Lewis hurriedly said, "Ha, how could you be so disobedient! You can still marry Paige and fool around with her. Wealthy people nowadays are like that. You could also do it!"

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Hadn't you cried enough because of father when you were young?"

Mrs. Lewis was stunned by his words.

Indeed, her husband had a lot of affairs.

Because of this, she had cried for countless nights.

Those dark days had almost made her give up.

"Mom, it seems like you're fine after all. It's getting late. I still have work tomorrow. I'll head back now!"

"Henry!" Mrs. Lewis called out to him.

Henry stopped in his tracks, but he did not turn around.

"I will never accept her!" Mrs. Lewis added, "No matter what you say, I won't accept her. And, you will regret it!"

"Regret it?"

"You both don't belong in the same world. This relationship won't last for long!

Henry sneered as he said, "That's true. A lifetime isn't long enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his clothes on the side and left.

The next day...

Miranda had a fever early in the morning.

No one knew exactly how she got a fever.

She was sent back to the Garcia family by her driver this morning.

However, Rosa felt that this matter must have something to do with Henry.

Last night, he yelled at her.

She must be scared.

But what she didn't know was...

Miranda really couldn't fall asleep all night.

However, it wasn't because of her uncle that kept her awake.

Instead, it was because of the young man next door who kept her heart racing.

After breakfast, Rosa went to school in Henry's car.
