She was a little scared.
She was afraid that once he told him, Cecil would be greatly agitated.
The doctor said before that Cecil couldn't be too happy or too sad.
Seeing her troubled expression, the man no longer insisted.
"Alright, I'll wait, but don't let me wait too long!"
Rosa nodded, but in reality, she had no intentions to introduce him to Cecil.
Who knew when this man started to...
She didn't want to think about it, so she put on her clothes and went out.
As she closed the door, the man got up.
He put on his shirt and walked to the wardrobe.
In the whole room, there was only a small wardrobe that was closed.
There weren't any compartments on her desk.
He opened the wardrobe. Sure enough, there was a small compartment inside.
He smiled and pulled open the drawer.
Inside was an ID card, a household register, and a bankbook.
He opened the bankbook and frowned slightly as he looked at the balance.
Then, he put these three things into the pocket of his suit.
Rosa went to Cecil's room and saw him writing while listening to music with headphones.
Seeing this, she sighed in relief.
She was afraid that Cecil heard them.
She placed her hand on her heart as she calmed herself down and took a deep breath. Then, she walked to Cecil and said, "Cecil..."
"Yeah?" Cecil took off his headset and looked at her. "What's wrong, sister?"
"Sorry I overslept. Well... it's too late to make dumplings now. Should I make some pasta instead? I promise I'll make dumplings for you tomorrow morning!"
"Okay!" Cecil smiled slightly. "I'll keep writing first. Call me when you're done!"
"Okay, I'll close the door for you. So you won't be bothered by the smell..." She looked a little uncomfortable.
"Okay!" Cecil picked up his headset and continued what he was doing.
Rosa closed the door and quickly opened the door to her room.
The man stood in front of the window, buttoning his shirt.
Sunlight shone through the window onto his flawless body.
His back was against the window, and the light formed a halo around his silhouette, looking flawlessly handsome.
Clare always said that these types of men are the ones most women can't get their hands off of.
Can't get their hands off of...
These words were too ambiguous.
Because of this, the tip of her ears turned pink.
"Don't look at me like that!"
The man looked at her innocent, deer-like eyes that had been staring at him for a while.
He suddenly had a reaction.
D*mn it, this girl's innocent expression was too adorable.
He walked up to her and hugged her waist. Then, he lifted her slightly, making her face him.
"You... naughty!"
"Were you thinking about something just now?" He approached her and asked jokingly.
Rosa looked at him blankly. A few seconds later, she realized what he meant.
She immediately avoided his gaze, and her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily.
There was no need to admit it. The expression on her face had already exposed her thoughts.
"You're so adorable!" He couldn't help kissing her cheek and smiled dotingly.
Rosa quickly pushed him away and said, "Hurry up and go, quickly!"
"Just now I heard that you wanted to make dumplings for Cecil?"
Rosa was stunned. "Well... It's all because of you that I got up so late!"
"I want to eat too!"
Looking at his serious expression, Rosa thought he looked like a child.
She could not help but nod. "Alright, when I'm free..."
"Naughty!" Rosa got angry and reached out her fist to punch the hand on her chest.
The man grabbed her angry little hand to his lips and gently blew on it. "Don't hit me. I'm not afraid of the pain, I'm just afraid that your hand will be hurt. Then I'll be worried!"
Rosa wanted to cry from being teased by him.
How could he act like this!
It was impossible to tell from his appearance!
"Remember to meet me this afternoon. I have something to tell you!" He stopped teasing and said in a serious manner.
"Huh... what's the matter?"
"You'll know after you come."
"Alright, leave now. I got it!" Rosa said as she pushed him.
She was afraid that if he continued to stay and talk, Cecil might come out.
Although he was reluctant to leave, he did not stay any longer.
He had no choice but to leave first.
—
Around half past noon...
"Cecil, I'm heading out. You should be fine on your own, right?" Rosa looked at him and asked.
"Yup, but did something happen with sister Grace?"
Before she had time to eat, Grace called her three times in a row.
Cecil was standing next to her, so he naturally saw it.
Because Cecil was there, Rosa was unable to speak freely.
Seeing this, Grace grinned and said, "I knew it. You are my best friend!"
"Grace, listen to me..."
"He said... he wanted me to hide for a while... That woman seems to have noticed something..."
Grace interrupted her and said to herself, looking extremely sad.
"Shouldn't you have known this would happen!?"
She frowned. Her heart ached to see her like this.
This outcome was inevitable.
Geoffrey's current achievements were all thanks to Miranda's mother's hard work.
If they were found out...
He would have to leave everything behind.
That man had been pampered for so long. How could he give it all up so easily?
Therefore, he could only give her up for now.
It was already expected.
"But... do you know? I fell in love with him after spending our days together..."
Rosa frowned and said in a helpless voice, "If he had nothing, will you still love him?"
Grace was stunned. She looked at her and sneered. "What do you mean? You're saying that I only want his money!"
"Grace, I know you've always dreamed of living a good life, but you don't have to take this kind of short cut! Wouldn't it be better if we just find one that isn't married?"
She really wanted to say, "At least you'd have a chance to build a family with one that isn't married!"
"You don't understand at all!" Grace shouted, and then took a sip of wine. "When we were together, we were really happy, very happy, not just from spending money, okay?"
"Grace..."
"Drink with me!" After pouring another glass of wine for her, Grace drank it first.
Rosa looked at the wine in the glass and frowned. She couldn't drink anymore.
She would get drunk if she drank another glass.
"Come on, cheers. As you wish, I broke up with him. You should be happy, shouldn't you?"
Rosa frowned and took another sip without saying a word.
"I know you hate me and think that I destroyed your life. But do you really think that you can stay with him forever if I didn't find out?"
Grace didn't say anything and stared at her angrily.
"You can't even listen to what I say, can you? You just have to be caught by Miranda, is that it?"
After saying that, she said helplessly, "You're definitely going to give an excuse saying that Miranda won't find out, that she'd been trying for so long but still didn't catch you and whatnot... I believe that it must have something to do with Geoffrey."
Grace stared at her and said.
"Miranda is still young and doesn't have much capability yet. Yes, under Geoffrey's protection, you could live freely for a while. But don't forget about her mother. Do you think she's more capable, or Geoffrey is more capable?"
This matter hadn't been discovered yet.
It must be because she had not heard about it.
Otherwise, according to her history, Grace wouldn't be able to stay in City C anymore.
