Chapter 40
\nCome on Daddy (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 40<\/p>\n
Bright turned his head sideways, his sight fell on Rose\u2019s flat lower abdomen, and Rose stroked her lower abdomen out of instinct, her fair face was blushed with redness.<\/p>\n
Rose had a guilty conscience, although she was pretending to be his Mrs. Lee and she was not pregnant at all, she did give him a daughter which was a fact.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, we\u2019re still young, we don\u2019t need to be in a hurry. We\u2019ve got time.\u201d Bright stared at her shy face, denying it.<\/p>\n
They did not even have sex how could she be pregnant.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been three years. What have you been doing?\u201d Francis said disapprovingly, he turned to look at Rose, \u201cRose, tell me, is he always busy with work and that he has no time to with you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Being targeted by Francis, Rose was faced with a dilemma, how was she supposed to answer such a tricky question?<\/p>\n
Rose clutched her fingers together and peeked at Bright behind, expecting some hints from him.<\/p>\n
However, she was busted by Francis, \u201cRose, what are you look at him for? Tell me the truth, if he dares to cause you trouble, tell me, I\u2019ll be there for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rose was on the edge of crying but she somehow retained her smile, \u201cDad, he has been good to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid he?\u201d Francis\u2019s words were full of suspicions, he looked at Bright reproachingly, \u201cHow come you don\u2019t have a son or daughter after three years, I\u2019ve been expecting to be a grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, I\u2019ll have to leave such matter as having kids to fate.\u201d Bright sat down in the meantime, taking Rose in his arms.<\/p>\n
They sat side by side, one was beautiful, the other was handsome, it was just like a magazine shooting, what a match!<\/p>\n
\u201cCut it off.\u201d Francis stared at his disobedient son, \u201cDo you know uncle Jim\u2019s son? He\u2019s two years younger than you and he is already a father of two kids. Uncle Jim is busy playing with his grandchildren all day and can\u2019t stop praising them whenever he meets people\u2026\u2026So tell me, Bright, when can I be grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, we will work harder.\u201d Bright\u2019s hand pressed harder on Rose\u2019s shoulder, his eyes were dark and deep with emotion that she couldn\u2019t make out, \u201cRight?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rose\u2019s eyes met with his, feeling trapped again by him.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, Don\u2019t worry. He will make that happen.\u201d It\u2019s him, not them.<\/p>\n
\u201cRose, this boy is a trouble maker, I\u2019ll leave him in your charge from now on.\u201d With a daughter-in-law, he was happy to shift the burden, \u201cNo matter what, Hallie and I will stand on your side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hallie smiled without saying a word, it was inappropriate for her to talk about their relationship as a stepmother after all.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad just handed me to you, you must take responsible with me then.\u201d Bright looked at her affectionately.<\/p>\n
Such Bright Lee seemed to be a good husband, it was as if she was the treasure in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Rose was able to melt down before she recovered her senses, taking her eyes away from him, \u201cDon\u2019t play a victim when you have taken advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho has taken advantage?\u201d Bright further demanded.<\/p>\n
Of course it was me, but Rose never spoke out loud and responded to him with a disdainful look.<\/p>\n
Seeing that they joked with each other, Francis showed a satisfying smile.<\/p>\n
Hallie offered him the tea, \u201cYou see how good they are together, you can relax now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI shall observe for a longer time.\u201d Francis used the cup cover to filter the leaves on his tea, then took two sips.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t scold Bright in front of Rose, it\u2019s not good to damage his image.\u201d Hallie suggested to her husband, \u201cThis is Rose\u2019s first time here, we should be nice and harmonious. And we as the elder generation should behave in a cultured way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a designer, mainly in the field of decoration.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA designer, that\u2019s good.\u201d Hallie spoke to Francis, \u201cSo Rose is capable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Francis agreed with a nod, then asked further, \u201cSo who else is in your family?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, are you doing a family background research? Aren\u2019t you tired?\u201d Bright saw them asking questions in turn and browned unwillingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch a nice girl as Rose has been married with you for three years, don\u2019t you need to greet their parents?\u201d Francis said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, I make my own decisions, they won\u2019t intervene.\u201d Thinking of her own parents and her own home, Rose felt a coldness in her heart all of a sudden.<\/p>\n
But here, at the Lee family, she felt the warmth in a family, even though Bright and his father argued with each other a lot which reflected the indulgence a real family should have.<\/p>\n
Bright\u2019s stepmother was a gentle and reasonable person, she didn\u2019t take Bright\u2019s distanced manner into her heart and would even speak for him, smoothing things out between the father and the son.<\/p>\n
This was a family, which she envied very much.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can it be? We are your husband\u2019s family and we should act accordingly. Otherwise, people would say we are lack of respect.\u201d Francis\u2019s attitude was firm, \u201cRose, see when suit your family and we shall dine together with both families, and we should also discuss about your wedding. Our Lee family will not allow you suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n
What? A wedding? It\u2019s getting out of control!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1009","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
