Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 168

"I have nothing but money!"

This sentence was undoubtedly a joke for ordinary people.

However, it was true for Henry.

Rosa looked at him in disbelief.

Immediately, a fake smile appeared on her peaceful face.

"Mr. Lewis, that's five years ago. Now, I don't need money. I don't even care if you give me your whole company!"

"I see... What should I do?"

He lowered his head, half of his body engulfed by darkness. No one could see his face or expression. Rosa could not guess what he was thinking.

But the silent atmosphere made her feel a little depressed.

"I'll sell myself to you then. I don't need money!" He raised his eyes and got close to her beautiful face, revealing a devilishly smile.

Rosa was stunned by his words for a few seconds.

Then, she ignored him and went downstairs.

Henry was not annoyed. He followed her downstairs.

Aunt Abbie and Luke were sitting on the sofa and talking. When they saw them coming downstairs, they were stunned.

That fast?

"Madam, the pasta is ready. Come and eat," Aunt Abbie quickly stepped forward and said.

"I'm good, Aunt Abbie. I'm going back. I'll get someone to bring these clothes over in a few days," Rosa said as she walked toward the door without waiting for Aunt Abbie to speak.

Aunt Abbie wanted to stop her, but she didn't expect Rosa to leave so quickly.

Henry followed closely behind.

Rosa stopped and frowned. "Why are you following me? Didn't I make it clear enough?"

Henry didn't care at all. With keys in his hand, he said with a faint smile, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

Rosa frowned and looked at him in amusement. She got irritated. "Don't you know I'm rejecting you?"

Henry looked at her and smiled. He seemed to like her very much and was not angry. He only spat out two words, "I don't know!"

Rosa was so angry that she lost her temper. She had no idea what this man was thinking.

"It's late. I'll send you back." He blocked her way and said bossily.

"You drank!" she refused.

With a smile on his lips, he was in a better mood all of a sudden. "So, you care about me? It's okay. The police don't dare to arrest me!"

Rosa rolled her eyes and walked away. "But I'm afraid of death!"

He was not afraid of being caught, but she was too afraid of death to be in his car.

"Well, I'll take a taxi with you. We won't die!" He followed her to the door.

Rosa ignored him. The more he stuck to her, the more her heart began to waver.

She was not a cold-blooded animal. Just as Marlene said, what happened five years ago had nothing to do with him.

However, the person she wanted to target was his family.

Being together only meant they would involve many people, and she would be the one getting hurt.

She couldn't put him in a difficult position, stuck between her and his family.

Since that was the case, she did not want to get involved with her even if it killed her.

Thinking of this, she walked faster, but her ankle hurt even more.

She didn't like wearing high heels!

It was a residential area for the rich, so it was hard to get a taxi nearby.

She needed to walk a few kilometres away. After all, who would take a taxi if they could afford to live here?

Unless they came by taxi. At this time, no taxis were coming by.

Rosa walked down the hill in her heels.

"Does your foot hurt? I'll carry you!" He couldn't help but say as he watched her limping.

"No!" Without thinking, she refused directly.

"I'll help you with your bag. You look unsteady, and isn't it tiring to hold it?"

Rosa stopped. She turned her head to look at the man beside her, who was much taller than her. She thought that since he wanted to follow her, she might as well use him.

"Okay," she smiled and extended her bag toward him.

There was a smile in the man's dark eyes. He went forward, but he didn't grab her bag. Instead, he lifted her into the air.

The sudden feeling made Rosa subconsciously wrap her arms around his neck.

"What are you doing?" She frowned in confusion.

Henry looked down at her delicate eyelashes and spoke in a low, gentle, and grievance tone. "I am helping you with your bag! Like you said!"

Rosa looked at the bag in her hand and watched him holding her.

She understood now. He picked her up, while she was holding a bag. Technically speaking, he was holding her bag.

"Henry, you are shameless! Put me down!" He was the same as five years ago, always finding reasons to take advantage of her.

A hint of hurt appeared in the man's smiling eyes, and his tone was very aggrieved. "Rosa, why are your morals? You can't play tricks like this. You agreed for me to help you with your bag, and now you're refusing me. So, do you want my help or not? Or are you just too shy to say you want it? What about what had happened in bed just now?"

Rosa's mouth was agape, and she was rendered speechless by his reasoning.

He stared at her quietly, neither annoyed nor in a hurry. His eyes were mysterious, making it impossible for people to see what was within them.

Rosa felt a little guilty and did not dare to look directly into his star-like eyes.

She was afraid that she would be bewitched by them.

As a result, she cleared her throat and said, "If you don't think I am heavy, then carry me. Anyway, I don't have anything to lose."
