"Sister... sister..." Cecil called a few times.
"Ah..." Rosa suddenly came to her senses. She looked at Cecil and said, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
No! Don't be nervous! Cecil said hurriedly.
He knew she was worried about him the most.
Therefore, even if he was a little uncomfortable, he was not willing to show it.
"Sister, why have you so distracted after uncle and the others left?" Cecil was a little confused.
That's right, ten minutes ago, her uncle and Miranda had already left.
"No, I... I'm thinking about something..."
"What are you thinking about? You kept getting lost in thought."
"Nothing. It's about my studies. Oh, you must be hungry. I'll buy you something to eat!" Rosa said and was about to stand up.
"There's no need, sister. By the way, tell my uncle that I don't need special orders from the canteen. I think the normal food is also very delicious. There is no need to make special dishes. I think... we owe uncle too much. In the future... it won't be easy to pay him back!"
Since the death of their parents, they had experienced good and bad.
They knew most that not many people would be willing to help.
Therefore, it was even harder for them to repay his kindness.
"Don't worry, I know!" How could she not think of what Cecil had thought of?
That house...
It was the matter that worried her the most.

At Lewis Mansion...
"Grandpa, grandma..." As soon as Miranda entered the house, she called out with a smile.
"Miranda is here!" A woman in her sixties said as she walked over.
Although her hair was a little gray, her face was well maintained. There weren't too many wrinkles on her face.
Her dress was more fashionable and she even looked like a model.
Miranda saw her grandmother, who was in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She thought to herself, "There must be something bad going on."
"You little girl, can't you come to visit on your own? Would you have not shown up if I didn't let your uncle fetch you?" Mrs. Lewis was very dissatisfied.
"Grandfather..." Miranda immediately looked at her grandfather for help.
An old man in his seventies sat on the sofa with his legs crossed as he read the newspaper gracefully.
Hearing Miranda's request for help, the old man put down the newspaper and waved at her with a smile. "Come here, Miranda."
Although the old man was in his 70s, he was still really... handsome!
Miranda had always felt that her uncle had completely inherited the best genes of her grandparents!
"On my way, I'm coming." Miranda immediately ran to the sofa and sat down beside the old man. "Grandpa, what are you looking at?
"Hey, Miranda, come here. Why did you go to your grandfather? I have a photo to show you!" Mrs. Lewis said hurriedly.
"Grandfather..." Miranda lowered her head and muttered, "She's doing it again!"
"Miranda, this time it looks great. It was chosen by your aunt. One of the best!" As she spoke, Mrs. Lewis came over and was about to hold her hand.
"Grandfather, Grandfather..." Miranda immediately shrank back.
"Hayleigh, stop pressuring Miranda. You do this every time!" Mr. Lewis said hurriedly.
"I'm doing this for her. I don't need to worry about Henry now. The only one who is ready to get married is Miranda. This is my granddaughter. If I don't take care of her, who will?" Mrs. Lewis quickly rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Mom, aren't you tired?" Henry changed his clothes and went downstairs.
Mrs. Lewis looked at her son and immediately frowned. "What happened to you? I called you so many times yesterday, but you didn't come back. Paige has been waiting for you for so long!"
Henry smiled, walked to the sofa, and sat down.
Luke immediately served his favourite coffee.
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly said, "Hey, what happened? You showed up once at the engagement party last time, and then you disappeared. Do you know that the Baker family have a strong opinion about this?"
"Strong opinion? Then just call it off!" He sat there lazily, with his lips slightly raised and looking indifferent.
Mrs. Lewis was stunned. She immediately reached out her hand and slapped him on the shoulder. "Call it off? call what off? Do you know how good this marriage will be for your career? In the future, you will dominate City C!"
Henry raised his eyebrows and looked at his mother. "Mom, without them, Lewis is still immovable!"
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly said, "Sigh, my son. You've been spoiled by us, how arrogant. Let me tell you, the Baker family will benefit you, they won't be completely useless!"
The Lewis' could be this wealthy because of their daughter and two sons including Henry.
All of them had the most successful careers.
It was all because of the two of them who built a foundation for them from the very beginning.
She knew better than anyone else who could bring glory to the Lewis'.
Paige was the only daughter of the Baker family.
Their entire fortune would belong to her in the future.
Moreover, Paige was head over heels for Henry. One day, all her property would belong to him!
"Mom, the Lewis' doesn't need marriage to be successful!"
"I know you're amazing. Yes, I admit that you're a hundred times more capable than your elder sister and your brother. However, this Paige is beautiful and she's head over heels for you. She comes from an incredible background. She's a good match for you! What's there to be dissatisfied with?" Mrs. Lewis said hurriedly.
Henry frowned slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped arguing.
"Hey, let me tell you. I only take Paige as my daughter-in-law. Don't mess around outside!" Mrs. Lewis immediately said.
