Love After One-night Stand with CEO

After seeing Cecil, Marlene took them to a restaurant.

In the private room, Paul was still taking care of Hanna.

"Rosa, don't you want to see them since you're back?" Marlene asked carefully, for fear of touching Rosa's sore spot.

Rosa paused from eating and said, "They should be living a good life..."

Marlene sighed, "Henry treats them well. They are well-protected. It has been five years, and no one knows what they look like. They don't attend kindergarten and have teachers teach them at home. Even if they were photographed by the paparazzi occasionally, the photos would disappear before they were published. I am sorry I couldn't take any photos of them for you."

Rosa lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "They are his sons. He should be good to them..."

"What about you?" Marlene asked, "Do you not miss them at all?"

The smile on Rosa's face froze. A few seconds later, she looked up at her and chuckled, "Marlene, do you not plan to marry again?"

Marlene got divorced and gained custody of her child.

"I am busy as a doctor. No one will be satisfied to be married to me. Plus, I am just fine being alone."

"Yeah, it's good to be alone..."

Marlene was stunned and then sighed, "Rosa... Over the past five years, Grace has become... I'm afraid you can't defeat her..."

"She is powerful. She made Geoffrey divorce Asher and married him. Then, she helped Geoffrey start his own company. She is very capable." Rosa's eyes were cold as she said, "The supporters behind her are self-evident."

Although she was abroad, she paid attention to the news from home.

Grace and Paige got close, so it was clear how Grace got to be so successful.

In the past five years, Paige...

She remained the woman that stay by Henry's side for the longest.

Everyone thought that Paige and Henry were married but did not make it public.

No one knew if the twins addressed her as their mother in private.

"I have never thought someone could be so rotten to the bone. Asher knew Paige helped in making Geoffrey leave her to be together with Grace, but she was not mad at all. What do you think is the reason?" Marlene didn't understand why they didn't fall out.

"Why?" Rosa smiled faintly and said, "They must have dirt on Asher."

"Dirt? Grace has dirt on Asher?"

"No one is perfect. Asher has been at odds with Geoffrey for a long time. She knows everything he has done. How can she bear it? So, she must have a lover too. Grace might not know, but could it be said the same for Paige? As another shareholder of the Lewis Corporation, it would be shameful if it was exposed. How will Miranda see her mother by then?"

With this, Rosa chuckled and said, "Maybe Asher hates Grace more than I do. But with Geoffrey's protection and Paige's support, how can Asher make a move on Grace?"

"Does Henry not care?" Marlene didn't believe it. Everyone was afraid, but Henry shouldn't be.

"Will someone else other than them know?"

Marlene was stunned. She stared blankly at Rosa.

Why did Rosa become both familiar and strange?

Rosa's analysis was clearly correct, but why was she a little scared?

Had Rosa been blinded by hatred?

"Marlene, don't have to look at me like that. People need to grow up. I have paid a huge price for it. My change is inevitable." Rosa seemed to understand what Marlene was thinking through Marlene's eyes. Marlene was stunned and sighed helplessly. Change was not a bad thing.

If Rosa remained innocent, her ending would be far worse.

After the meal, Rosa was going to the house that the company had arranged for her.

"Rosa, stay with me. I have an extra room." Marlene invited.

"Marlene, thank you, but the company arranged somewhere near Quaductions. You have to work, and Paul lives in the school. It's more convenient like this."

Marlene felt helpless. She was indeed very busy with her work.

Marlene drove Rosa to the apartment building. Before Rosa went upstairs, Marlene received an emergency call from the hospital.

"Rosa, remember to call me if you need anything."

"Okay!"

Marlene didn't waste any more time. The patient was in critical condition, and she had to go immediately.

Rosa watched Marlene's car leave.

Rosa held the suitcase in one hand and took her daughter's hand with the other and walked toward the apartment.

She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but her apartment was on the 18th floor.

She went upstairs and opened the door. It was a well-decorated house.

It was in a modern style and fully furnished. It had two rooms and a living room.

As the agent sent by England, she needed to stay here for about half a year.

Therefore, the company found her the most expensive, comfortable, and closest apartment to the company.

"Hanna, I will send you to school tomorrow. Be good at school!"

Before she came, she had already registered Hanna in a private international kindergarten. The fee was expensive, but the teachers were very responsible. For her, money was not a problem as Hanna was her priority.

In addition, she had to interview a few nannies with good reputations to care for Hanna.

"Okay. Mommy, I've been looking forward to going to kindergarten. I'll be good!"

Hanna seemed excited, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Rosa was a little distressed. In fact, Hanna should have gone to kindergarten a long time ago, but she postponed it because of Hanna's poor health. "Good girl!" Rosa kissed Hanna's forehead and said, "Let's go and get you washed up. You should go to bed early and go to kindergarten tomorrow morning." Hanna nodded and followed Rosa to wash up.

A moment later...

NOW PLAY YOUR FAVOURITE GAMES ON

Hanna fell asleep.

Rosa covered Hanna with the quilt, got up, and went to the living room.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the traffic outside. She was in a trance.

It felt like just yesterday.

She had many beautiful memories and painful ones.

The next day, Quaductions held a large-scale dinner party to welcome their arrival.

In the past two years, Quaductions had developed very fast and won a lot of agency rights abroad one after another.

Quaductions bought their company, and their performance rose by 20 per cent.

As the head of product development, she came over to follow up on the quality of the products to assure the quality of the product. Grace probably would never have imagined that she would be welcoming her.

However, Rosa couldn't wait to see Grace!

With a swoosh, the curtains were closed.

No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was only temporary.

She was no longer the little girl who would cry at the sight of the night scene.

Rosa got up early the next morning to get Hanna ready for school.

"Mommy, do I look good today?" Hanna tilted her head. She had a pink bow in her hair as she asked.

"Yes, you are. You're the most beautiful girl."

Hanna smiled and said shyly, "Mommy, don't praise me like that. Others will laugh at me if they hear it."

"What's so funny? You're my little princess, so it's naturally you're the most beautiful." Rosa picked Hanna up and said, "I will take you to kindergarten."

"Okay."

Hanna's arrival made the teachers in the international kindergarten excited.

What a beautiful child! Rosa spoke with the teachers for a while and left reluctantly.

She was reluctant, but she had to do this.

Hanna needed to learn and befriend more children.

After that, she went to the largest nanny company in City C to speak with the more experienced nannies.

She was very strict in her work. She had investigated the background of the three nannies she took a liking to, from their former jobs to their family backgrounds.

She had to be more careful when it came to Hanna's care.

After several rounds of selection, Rosa chose the best one. Almost all of the nanny's previous employers recommend her, and she had no stains in her history.

"Aunt Poppy, my daughter is still in school, and my job is unstable. I need you to live in my house. We have settled your salary. If you take good care of her, I will pay you more."

Aunt Poppy looked very kind. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lopez. I will take good care of Hanna. You don't need to raise my salary. What you offered is more than enough."

Rosa didn't say anything. As for whether Aunt Poppy's salary would increase or not, it was up to her.

After that, Rosa took Aunt Poppy to the supermarket to shop, and they bought a lot of things.

When they came back, Rosa reminded Aunt Poppy, "You must watch out when preparing Hanna's meal. It has to be cleaned well. Her stomach is not good, and she will have diarrhoea if the food is not prepared well."

"Don't worry, Miss Lopez. I know all of this."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Rosa took Aunt Poppy to pick up Hanna.

Aunt Poppy fell in love with Hanna the moment she saw Hanna.

Such enthusiasm made Hanna a little scared.

Hanna, I am Grandma Poppy. I can do anything. Is there anything you like? I can make them for you."

"Grandma Poppy, I want to have dumplings..."

"Okay, I will make them for you."

Seeing that they were getting along well, Rosa was finally relieved.

After dinner, Hanna and Aunt Poppy watched TV and told stories to each other.

Rosa walked over, squatted down, and said, "Hanna, I am going to attend the dinner party tonight. I may come back very late. Can you sleep with Grandma Poppy first?" She rubbed Hanna's hair and was reluctant to leave.

"Okay. Mommy, you can leave!" Since she could remember, Hanna was taken care of by a nanny.

Therefore, Hanna was used to it.

"Hanna is such a good girl." Rosa kissed her daughter gently. She looked at Aunt Poppy and said, "Aunt Poppy, you can sleep after putting Hanna to sleep. Don't wait for me to come back. I will be bringing the

keys."

"Okay."

Rosa took her bag and walked out.

At this time, her phone rang.

It was from her assistant, Harmony.

"Miss Lopez, the makeup artist and stylist are here. When are you coming?"

"I'll be there in a minute!" Rosa hung up the phone and got into a taxi.

Since they hadn't seen each other for five years, and it was the first time they had met, she couldn't be so casual.

She couldn't wait to meet Grace!
