This bookstore was really huge.
Therefore, even though there was a lot of people there...
It wasn't crowded at all.
However, Henry still attracted a lot of attention.
From grandmas who were buying books for her grandchild to girls who were buying Princess' books.
Not to mention the staff and young ladies.
All the women couldn't stop looking at him.
However, this man never looked at them once.
He didn't even turn his head back.
He was smiling brightly, and his gaze was soft and gentle.
But his eyes were fixed on that one pretty girl.
This made a lot of them heartbroken.
Rosa stood quietly beside the bookshelf with a book in her hand and read it attentively.
Henry walked over and leaned against her back.
"What are you reading?" His warm breath landed on her cheek, and the atmosphere was incredibly sweet.
Rosa's neck immediately shrank and she moved away from him.
She glared at him, and her eyes darted around the room.
It was to remind him that they're in public.
He moved forward and trapped her on the bookshelf. "I was only being lovey-dovey with my girlfriend, is that wrong?"
"Girl... girlfriend?" Rosa's eyes widened in shock, and then her lips trembled. "Who... who's your girlfriend?!"
The man showed a mysterious smirk and said lazily, "What, you're denying it after getting out of my bed?"
Hearing this, Rosa couldn't help but panic. She glanced at the crowd beside her nervously.
Fortunately, they weren't looking here.
She quickly took his hand and dragged him to a place where there were fewer people around.
Henry's smile grew brighter at the sight of his hand in hers.
He really liked this feeling!
They were at the law section.
Therefore, there were fewer people here.
She frowned and looked at him. She lowered her voice and said, "Uncle, we're in public. Don't talk nonsense!"
"How am I talking nonsense?" He leaned closer to her and said, "You already agreed this morning!"
"Don't... don't talk nonsense!" Rosa blocked his chest with her hand, and her face turned pink.
She could get angry at him in private.
But they were in public.
She was afraid, incredibly terrified.
"Then do you admit it or not?" He continued to lean closer to her. With her denial, he became even more forceful.
Rosa frowned. He leaned so close that her back was pushed against the bookshelf.
In such a place...
Such an action...
It made her feel very embarrassed.
Yet, it seemed as if the man in front of her was doing it on purpose, so he wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Uncle... don't... don't do this. We're at a bookstore!" She looked up at him with a pleading look.
"Yes, I know!"
"Get, get out of my way. I feel a little uncomfortable!" Her small hand pushed him away again.
However, her strength was just a little nudge to him.
"Say you're my woman, then I'll spare you!"
"Heavens, he's pinning her on the bookshelf!"
"Oh my god, how romantic!"
"Wow, I feel so single right now."
Although the observers were speaking in a soft voice, they could still hear them talking.
Rosa's face instantly turned pink. She struggled to look at the man in front of her, who was unfazed.
"Uncle... don't be like this. Everyone is watching..."
"So what?"
"You..."
"Sister!" Suddenly, Cecil's voice came from afar.
Rosa was stunned and was about to push him away.
But she was still trapped underneath him. His expression was solemn as he said, "Are you going to say it or not?"
"Uncle..."
"Huh?"
"Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say!"
Rosa was very scared. She could hear the sound of Cecil pushing his wheelchair over.
She was afraid that Cecil would see this scene.
When the man achieved his objective, he released her.
Seeing this, the girl immediately ran away.
"Whatever you say!"
These words seemed to be the most pleasant words he had ever heard.
Rosa ran over to Cecil nervously. She looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No!" Cecil smiled gently.
"Miss Lopez, don't panic. He's fine!"
"Sister, I just want to say that I don't want to go anywhere else. I just want to stay here and read, is that okay?"
"Ah, so that's what you wanted to say."
"Yeah, the nurse said that you guys might have something to do. I was going to tell you guys that if you're busy, you can pick me up later at night, okay?" Cecil pleaded with his eyes.
Rosa sighed in relief and said, "I thought something went wrong. Since you like this place, you can stay here all afternoon and leave at dinner time!"
"Okay, then I'm going to read now!"
"Okay!" Rosa nodded.
The nurse pushed Cecil's wheelchair away.
Henry walked over and held her hand tightly.
All ten of their fingers were entwined.
Rosa's ears were very red, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.
However, the man held onto it tightly and said, "Let's go pick some books for Cecil!"
Rosa was unable to refute.

In the Purplish Gold Building...
Rosa and Henry on the other hand went to look at the food available.
At this time, the waiter came over and served them tea.
"Is the pretty girl in the white dress your sister?" The waiter looked at Cecil curiously and asked.
"Uh... How did you know?" Cecil was a little curious.
"When you guys came in, I already noticed," the waitress said hurriedly.
That man was so handsome, and they were not blind!
Cecil smiled slightly and looked very happy.
"Just now she said that her brother has a lot of dishes that he doesn't like to eat. Your sister really loves you. She knows your taste very well!" The waiter was envious.
"Yeah!" Cecil also smiled.
"That man is your brother-in-law, isn't he? Oh my god, he's so handsome!" When the waitress thought of the man's appearance just now, her heart kept pounding.
Cecil immediately frowned and said hurriedly, "No, that's our uncle!"
The waiter frowned and said, "That's impossible. That man's eyes were full of love when he looked at her. There's no uncle who would look at his niece like that!"
"Like I said, he's my uncle!" Cecil suddenly raised his voice.
The waitress was stunned. Seeing his expression change, she didn't dare to say anything more.
"Go ahead, I'll do it!" The nurse immediately got up and said.
The waitress immediately left.
"Mr. nurse, the waitress was wrong just now. He is our uncle!" Cecil said hurriedly.
The doctor nodded and said, "Yes, I know!"
Cecil stopped talking, but there seemed to be something wrong with his expression.
The nurse didn't say anything. He looked at him and couldn't say anything.
He was already married, so he knew what Mr. Lewis' gaze meant when he looked at Miss Lopez.
However, what puzzled him was...
Why was Cecil so resistant to this matter?
What's there to dislike about Mr. Lewis?
Soon, Rosa and Henry came over.
"Cecil, I have ordered a lot of your favourite dishes!" Rosa smiled slightly.
"Aren't you tired of eating food from the cafeteria? Eat up!" Henry said.
Cecil didn't say anything. He lowered his head and was busy eating. No one knew what he was thinking.
Rosa frowned and looked at the nurse.
"What's going on?
"Wasn't he fine just now?" She wondered.
The nurse mouthed, "It's nothing. He's just tired!"
Rosa was relieved.
Rosa felt that this meal was really delicious.
Even the nurse praised the food.
However, Cecil had been absent-minded, as if he had no appetite.
This made Rosa very worried, but because there were outsiders, she couldn't ask anything.
Half a second later...
Henry sent him back to the hospital.
The nurse had left. Henry and Rosa were about to ask how he was doing.
But unexpectedly, Cecil suddenly said, "Uncle... Can you leave? I have something to say to my sister in private!"
