Chapter 162 Marriage Act
His words were extremely ironic.
Rosa wanted to get mad at him, but she held it back. She gave him a seductive smile. "Mr. Lewis, I just saw your partner in there. Why don't you go and say hello?"
They hadn't seen each other for five years.
She became more and more eloquent.
His hand moved from her chin to her face.
His slightly cocooned fingers rubbed her cheeks, and his low voice sounded devilishly by her ear. "Why would I need her? I get tired of her over time. And..." He leaned over and whispered, "Old flames are more charming."
Rosa was stunned. She frowned and glared at him with anger in her eyes.
She looked up at his handsome, gentle face with clear eyes. She smiled, "Mr. Lewis, don't you understand the law? According to the Marriage Act, a husband and wife are allowed to apply for a divorce if they have been separated for two years. We have been separated for five years, which is enough for us to divorce!"
The man's handsome face was cold and dark, and his tall figure loomed over her. He said flatly, "Miss Lopez, are you sure you want to talk to me about Marriage Acts? If I'm not mistaken, the divorce must be agreed upon by both parties to be approved, and both parties must solve all matters regarding children and wealth to be allowed a divorce!"
As he said this, his thin lips showed a smile. He said casually, "Didn't you know that a married couple would not be divorced even if they were separated for years?"
Rosa looked at him in shock. How could this man know the Marriage Act so well?
The next second, the angry Rosa calmed down.
Her beautiful eyes were shining under the night sky. She spat out cruel words from her fiery red lips, "Mr. Lewis, you also saw that my current identity is not ordinary. How can I, a weak woman, get such a position? Presumably, you should know better than me about all kinds of hidden rules. Why didn't you abandon me? Why are you willing to be associated with me?"
Henry lowered his head to look at her. His handsome face was ashen, and his eyes were dark. The icy cold aura around him screamed that she wanted to tear her apart.
The next moment, he pulled her into his arms.
The sudden collision made her frown in pain.
There was a coldness in Henry's dark eyes as he mocked, "We are the same. I have experienced so many women, but none of them makes me feel great as you. Your size and depth are just right for me." Rosa tried to get rid of him. "Shame on you!"
He smiled and said, "That's not what you said when you were feeling good!"
"Henry Lewis!"
Henry's body stiffened slightly because of this title. How long had it been? How long had it been since she had yelled his name in anger?
Suddenly, he felt like laughing.
He had been missing her for five years.
He had been keeping himself away from women for her for five years.
Some even questioned his ability
He had received a lot of supplements in that aspect, but he had never paid attention to them.
But he didn't expect that she would be so angry because of what he had just said.
"Let me go!" She was afraid of being so intimate with him.
"Rosa... don't make a fuss, please?" he whispered in a low, horse voice that sounded tired.
Rosa was stunned and forgot to react.
Henry let go of her, and his rough palm landed on her cheek, caressing them as he looked straight into her eyes. He added slowly, "Rosa... Let's start over, okay?" Rosa was shocked by his words.
Shouldn't he hate her?
Why did it turn out like this?
Wasn't what she said enough to drive one crazy?
Henry did not speak. He just looked at her and waited for her reply.
She looked up at the handsome and flawless man in front of her.
"Henry... please let me go..." Her voice was so soft that only he could hear her.
She was scared.
She was afraid of his breath, his smell, and all of him.
Every inch of him made her nervous and fearful.
However, his mother and Grace were the ones that murdered her brother!
All the fantasies were crushed at this moment.
His eyes darkened because of her words. He closed his eyes as he swallowed. He was in pain!
From a distance, Hanna ran over, calling out, "Director Reborn."
Rosa quickly broke free from his arms and tucked her beautiful hair behind her ear.
Harmony ran over, panting, "Director Reborn, Mr. Garcia is waiting for you over there."
"Got it. Let's go!" Rosa picked up her skirt and walked away with Harmony.
However, before she could take two steps, a coat was draped over her shoulder.
Then, she was held in a warm embrace.
Rosa frowned and looked at the man beside her. She said unhappily, "What are you going to do?" "Why are you dressed like this?"
Having not seen her for five years, she had become more enchanting.
The way she dressed was much bolder.
The man's eyes were filled with rage.
"I'm engaged in social activities!" She felt that he was being unreasonable and grew furious.
"Do social activities require you to show your chest?"
Her heart twisted, and she said subconsciously, "Mr. Lewis, you have changed female companion over and over over the years. Aren't they all dressed like this during social activities? Plus, there are reporters here. Is it strange for me to be like this?"
The man's handsome face became cold. He narrowed his eyes and roared, "That's their business, but not for you!"
Rosa was a little annoyed.
What did he mean?
Other women were allowed to dress like this?
But not her?
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
Could he not be so bossy?
At this moment, she did not even consider that he didn't care about other women.
"I haven't had any social activities for a long time. Let's go together!" Looking at her familiar angry face, he softened his tone.
"Quaductions have nothing to do with your company. Don't you feel strange to be here?"
"Strange?" He was expressionless. "Quaductions have sent me more than thousands of proposals a year, and you're telling me it is strange for me to be there?"
Rosa narrowed her eyes, thinking about how ambitious Grace was, trying to work with Henry's company.
Grace even thought of roping Henry's company in?
"Let's go. Don't you have some socializing to do?" Seeing that she didn't move, he tightened his grip on her shoulders and walked forward.
Rosa looked at him blankly.
She didn't know what he was thinking at all.
She left without saying goodbye and even eloped with her lover.
A normal man would want to kill her, wouldn't he?
But he was unmoved and even wanted to make peace?
What was he trying to do?
She couldn't grasp him anymore.
But she couldn't resist him at all and was forced into the hall with him.
Everyone was stunned by their arrival.
This...
Wasn't the jacket on Director Reborn Mr. Lewis?
Why was he holding her?
Could it be that he had a crush on her?
No way! She was theirs!
The men's hearts were bleeding.
Time was a magical thing which could make people forget.
The women by Henry's side kept changing over the past five years.
No one could remember what his fiancee from back then looked like.
Moreover, Rosa was no longer the youthful, innocent girl.
She was a temptress to all the men present.
"Why are you here, Henry?" Geoffrey immediately came over with his wife.
The moment Grace saw Henry hugging Rosa, she clenched her fists tightly.
Why was it like this?
Shouldn't he want to kill her?
The moment Rosa entered the hall, her eyes were fixed on Grace.
She caught sight of Grace's wonderful expressions.
"Why are you here?" Geoffrey was a little surprised, and then he looked at Rosa and understood.
"Mr. Lewis... you are so kind to Rosa..." Grace curled her lips slightly. It was unknown if she was being sarcastic or feeling jealous.
"Henry..." A delicate voice rang out.
Paige emerged from the crowd and walked over.
Rosa stood there, unmoved and without any expression on her face.
"Henry, why did you come here? I was planning to go to the Lewis Mansion later. Danny and Kasen had been bugging me for toys. I've already bought it. I was going to bring them to them."
Rosa's pupils shrank slightly.
Her body was a little stiff.
She couldn't help but think if she could get along with Danny and Kasen.
The two children...
"No need to come over. I've already bought them." Henry's voice was flat and emotionless.
The corner of Paige's mouth twitched slightly as she said, "But I promised them. Maybe we bought different models. I got them the latest edition. Let's gift them to them together."
"Miss Baker, Mr. Lewis just brought the limited edition ones today!" Denny spoke.
His words made Paige embarrassed.
Rosa pursed her lips and chuckled, praising Denny for his timely timing.
Seeing Rosa's proud look, Grace gnashed her teeth in hatred. Then she stepped forward and said, "Rosa, this banquet is specially held for you. I heard that your staff is not only highly educated but also smart and talented. I wonder if we have the honour to watch your performance tonight?"
Rosa smiled and said with self-mockery in her eyes, "No problem. Since you held such a grand party for our arrival, we don't mind putting on a show. Ms. Nelson, care to do the honours first?"
Grace was waiting for this sentence. "Okay, I'll sing a song. However, talents should be different. Since I'm singing, you should think of another performance. Dancing is a good idea."
As she said this, she smiled and said, "Pardon my singing, everyone."
Then she walked to the centre of the stage.
Everyone held their glasses and quieted down.
"Do you know how to dance?" Henry asked, his voice tinged with mockery.
Rosa didn't say anything, but she sneered in her heart.
Could she dance?
"Rosa, your body is so stiff. Can you dance? Perhaps you are not fated to do it!"
"Grace, I won't dance. If the school insists on performing, I'll sing. I can at least sing decently."
"Yea, your singing isn't bad. You have a great voice. Don't dance in the future. Your body is stiff, and you have no rhythm. You'll look like Donald Duck if you dance."
Grace knew Rosa wasn't good at dancing, yet she stole away the act that Rosa was confident in.
Just how much did Grace want Rosa to make a fool of herself?
