Chapter 169 Don't Think of Getting Rid of Me!
Because of this voice, Rosa's heart pounded.
However, the man sitting by her side turned, so she couldn't see the screen of his phone. Seeing her look, Henry smiled and said, "What's wrong, Kasen? Do you miss me?"
"Dad, we are sorry. We shouldn't have run out. Please don't be mad. Can you come home?" Kasen begged, and his voice sounded similar to Hanna's.
Rosa could not see them except for the back of his phone.
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't keep calm when she heard the voices.
What did they look like?
Did they look like Hanna?
Marlene told her they looked the same because they were identical twins.
Hanna was fraternal, so she didn't look the same as them but somewhat similar.
Rosa clutched her bag tightly with both hands, exposing her uneasiness and sense of loss to him.
As Henry spoke to his sons, he caught sight of her expressions.
"Dad, Danny is sorry too. Right, Danny?" Kasen dragged the boy that looked like him and said.
Danny frowned and bit its lips. After thinking for a while, he said, "Dad, blame it on me. I shouldn't have run out with Kasen. I thought that I could protect him since I was older, but I forgot we might run into kidnappers and wouldn't be able to defeat them. I am sorry, Dad!"
Henry narrowed his evil eyes and looked straight at her. He said, "Is that so? What would you do if you were kidnapped and your limbs were cut off?" Rosa's bag fell to her feet.
She hurriedly picked up the bag in a panic, feeling uneasy.
Did they run away?
Where did they go?
Kidnapping cases had been happening often lately.
How could they be so careless?
"Dad, we won't run away in the future. We won't be taken away, lose a limb, or become beggars..." Kasen swore.
"We are so handsome, so I don't think they can bear to cut our limbs..." Danny muttered, with great confidence in his appearance.
Henry nodded. When he saw Rosa's pale face, he smiled and said, "Kasen, Danny, I am with a very beautiful person today. Do you want to get to know her?"
"Alright. Who is it?" Kasen asked.
"Is it a woman? Dad, are you looking for a mother for us?" asked Danny.
"Yes, I am. I like her, so what should I do?" He stared straight at her with a teasing gaze.
"Dad, let me see her!" Kasen asked.
"I want to see her too. I want to see what this woman looks like and if she suits to be our mother." Danny grew solemn.
Henry was not in a hurry. He put down his phone, covered the camera with his hands, and approached her. With a hint of seduction, he said, "Do you want to see them"
Rosa raised her eyebrows and bit her lips subconsciously.
She only did such movements when she was struggling and didn't know what to do.
"I'll give you one chance. I'll count to three. If you want to see them, I'll let you see them. If you don't, forget that I asked!" A faint smile flashed across the man's eyes.
Then, his maic voice began to count down, "Three, two..."
"Pretty Aunt, we want to see you." Suddenly, Danny's voice sounded from the phone.
"That's right, Pretty Aunt. We want to see you. Let us, please?" Kasen spoke after that.
Henry was not in a hurry. He had a faint smile on his face. His sons were god-sent. He would win for sure.
Rosa played with her fingers uneasily.
Should she see them or not?
She could endure not seeing them.
But their childish voice and Kasen's begging tone made her heart tighten.
"One! Well, since you don't want to see them, I am hanging up!" Henry was ready to hang up the phone.
"I'll see them!" Rosa grabbed his hand and said with a firm look, "Let me see them..."
Henry's dark eyes lit up a little, and the smile on his face deepened. His bony fingers grabbed the phone and flipped it little by little.
Rosa's heart seemed to have stopped.
What did they look like?
"Plop!" She seemed to be able to hear her nervous heartbeat.
Her eyes were fixed on the phone, and she was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe normally.
The moment he turned the phone over, he hung up the video call.
Rosa was speechless.
After a few seconds of silence.
"Henry, are you kidding me?" Rosa was angry. She raised her fist and was about to hit him.
Henry grabbed her hand and moved closer to her. He smiled and said in a deep, husky voice, "If you want to see them, why not do it in real life?" Rosa glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
"I'll bring them here and let you see them in person. In this way, you can see and touch them. Isn't that good?"
Rosa withdrew her hand and looked out of the window angrily, ignoring him.
Instead of being annoyed, a smile appeared on his lips. He approached her and said in an affirmative tone, "You miss them, don't you?"
Rosa's eyes flashed. She was obviously not at ease.
"Look at you. You're lying to yourself. You miss them just like you also miss me, don't you?"
Rosa tilted her head and looked at him. She chuckled, "Henry, can you stop embarrassing yourself?"
He smiled cunningly like a fox. "Don't you know I care? Can you tell if I am embarrassed?"
"Ahem..." the driver coughed in embarrassment.
He wanted to tell them this was not a place for them to flirt.
Rosa didn't want to pay attention to Henry anymore. He was a rogue, a jerk!
Soon, they arrived at Rosa's neighbourhood.
Rosa took out her purse and was ready to pay.
Henry handed over a 100 dollar bill and said, "Keep the change."
The driver smiled and said, "Thank you!" He liked such a straightforward guest.
However, the moment he turned his head, the driver was stunned. The fare and fuel cost was 99 dollars.
Rosa got out of the car, and Henry followed her inside.
She stopped in her tracks and looked at him unhappily. "Stop following me!"
"I am sending you home."
"I don't need you to do that!" She would not let him go back with her, let alone let him see Hanna.
"Are you afraid that I'll do something to you?" He approached her and asked, "Or are you afraid that you couldn't hold back?"
"Henry, stop joking around. I'm going back. You can leave!" She turned around and walked angrily.
Was there a jerk CEO like him?
"I will leave once I send you to your door." He decided not to push her too hard.
Rosa tilted her head to look at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Aren't you going to ask me why I was at Silver Beach Villa?"
Henry didn't say anything and just stared at her calmly.
"Since you have so many spies, you should know I went to pick up my boyfriend in the afternoon. I don't want to get close to you. I am afraid that he will overthink the situation."
His eyes flashed with a sly smile. "Are you afraid he will misunderstand us and get jealous? Was it the same for us back then? Hasn't he been jealous
enough?"
Rosa frowned and was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Andy calling.
Rosa quickly pressed the answer button and couldn't help moving to the side.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Yes, I'm home. Are you feeling better?"
A cold light flashed across Henry's eyes. He stepped forward and grabbed her phone.
Before Rosa could react, her phone was gone.
"You've worked hard today. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. You can sleep a little longer." Andy's voice was very gentle.
Henry sneered, and his eyes were cold. "With me by her side, how could it be hard on her?"
"Henry, give it back to me!" Rosa jumped, trying to grab her phone.
But Henry was too tall. Even if she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't reach his arm.
"Why are you two together? What did you do to Rosa?" Andy raised his voice.
"We're husband and wife. What do you think I could do to her?" Henry's tone was provocative.
"Henry, don't talk nonsense. Give me the phone!" Rosa wanted to grab it, but Henry put his hand on her head, controlling her movements.
She was mad and struggling, but she couldn't win against him.
"Henry, you haven't been together for five years. Your marriage is in name only. I have been by her side for the past five years. Do you think I will be angry because of this sentence?"
Andy's words were calm as if being together with Rosa was enough to prove he was more important than Henry.
However, Andy clenched his fists tightly and got out of bed on the other end of the line.
"So... you're not jealous or angry?" Henry chuckled and grabbed Rosa. He said in a maic voice, "Come on, dear. Let's kiss!"
"Henry..." Before Rosa could finish her words, she was kissed by him.
"Henry, let her go!" Andy flew into a rage and yelled at the phone.
Henry bit down on her lips in a slightly harsh manner before letting go. He then smiled at his phone and said, "How is it? Aren't we a loving married
couple?"
"Henry, you are a madman. Rosa doesn't love you at all!" Andy was so angry that he slammed the table hard, and his whole body trembled because of the atmosphere.
"It's not up to you to decide whether she loves me or not!" Henry's tone was quite domineering.
"I'm Rosa's lover. I came back this time to marry her!" Andy shouted.
"Marry her?" The man's eyes suddenly darkened, and he stared at Rosa as if he wanted to swallow her.
Rosa turned her face away and thought to herself, "How could Andy say that? Why is he infuriating Henry further?"
"I've found a lawyer. You haven't been together for five years. The marriage is in name, so the divorce is set in stone."
"Very well. Then ask your lawyer to contact me!" Henry hung up.
Rosa hurried forward and took the phone, not daring to look at him.
"He even found a lawyer to get us divorced. Just how eager are you?"
Rosa could hear the sarcasm in Henry's words. She looked up at his injured eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
But she forced herself to say harshly, "Yes, this is the purpose of our return!"
Two clusters of flames were lit in his eyes. There was no doubt that they were born from hatred.
He pinched her chin and gnashed his teeth. "Rosa Lopez, don't think of getting rid of me!"
