Chapter 56
\nCome on Daddy (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 56<\/p>\n
In the morning, the sun climbed up slowly, its rays spread in a mystifying and beautiful manner.<\/p>\n
Rose couldn’t sleep and got up extra early to make breakfast.<\/p>\n
Bright always woke up early by habit; he wore a white shirt and was in good spirits. It felt like ages since he last had such a restful night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n
“Morning.” He smiled and greeted Rose.<\/p>\n
Rose had dark circles under her eyes, and she was in no mood to pay attention to him.<\/p>\n
She put breakfast on the dining table, then went to Doris’s room to wake her up.<\/p>\n
As Rose led Doris to the dining room, Bright already sat down at the table, studying breakfast.<\/p>\n
“Morning, Uncle Handsome.” Doris climbed onto a chair by herself.<\/p>\n
“Morning, sweety.” Bright smiled lightly, then pointed to a round cake on the plate. “What is this?”<\/p>\n
“That’s my mom\u2019s pumpkin pie; it’s delicious.” Doris picked one up and took a bite, with a very satisfied expression.<\/p>\n
“Then I have to taste it.” Bright picked up a fork and was about to pick up a piece.<\/p>\n
Rose reached out and took away the plate before him; she sat next to Doris and said, “Mr. Lee, we only have some odds and ends for breakfast; I’m afraid it\u2019s not to your liking, so I didn’t make you breakfast. This is my breakfast.”<\/p>\n
Bright looked at the emptiness in front of him, then squinted his eyebrows at Rose.<\/p>\n
“Doris, hurry up and eat breakfast, otherwise we\u2019ll be late.” Rose urged, hoping Doris would also ignore Bright.<\/p>\n
But Doris pushed her plate towards Bright. Due to her short hands, the plate only reached halfway between the two of them, “Uncle Handsome, I\u2019ll share my breakfast with you.”<\/p>\n
“You are a growing child, eat up.” Rose said.<\/p>\n
“But Uncle would go hungry without breakfast. Wouldn\u2019t it be better if we both shared a little with him?” Doris suggested.<\/p>\n
“…” Rose started to eat, “He\u2019s an adult; he\u2019ll figure something out. Besides, he only eats expensive seafood abalone porridge… He\u2019s not used to our breakfast.”<\/p>\n
Bright scooped up a piece of pumpkin pie on the plate, “Let me just take one.”<\/p>\n
“Really?” Doris asked.<\/p>\n
“Of course. Uncle’s assistant will prepare breakfast.” Bright didn’t want to compete with Doris for food.<\/p>\n
After breakfast, Rose took her bag and walked out, and Bright followed.<\/p>\n
Rose held Doris’s hand, and Doris held Bright’s hand. They looked like a family of three.<\/p>\n
When they passed by some neighboring aunts, the aunts looked on in shock at Bright.<\/p>\n
“Rose, is this your husband? He looks so handsome, much more handsome than my son.” An aunt praised.<\/p>\n
“Hello, ladies.” Bright called out.<\/p>\n
The old woman smiled from ear to ear, “If my son was as handsome as you, he\u2019d already be married by now.”<\/p>\n
Rose\u2019s lips jerked; is this mother really related to her son?<\/p>\n
“Rose, you\u2019re quite blessed.”<\/p>\n
“Right, right; it would be nice if my daughter could also find such a good husband.”<\/p>\n
“Boy, do you have any brothers in your family? Introduce one to my daughter.”<\/p>\n
“I do; he\u2019s a freshman in college this year. How old is your daughter?”<\/p>\n
“My daughter\u2019s twenty-four…”<\/p>\n
“My brother is only eighteen…”<\/p>\n
“I don’t like him.” Rose denied.<\/p>\n
“Rose, you guys came out together early in the morning…” William concealed the stinging sensation and sadness in his eyes, “He spent the night with you, right?”<\/p>\n
“William, it\u2019s not like what you think.” Rose explained anxiously, but then suddenly realized something, “Did you stay here all night?”<\/p>\n
That’s how he appeared so soon this morning; how could he be so stupid.<\/p>\n
“William, you really don’t need to do this. I don’t want to owe you even more.” There was no way she could pay it back.<\/p>\n
“I just want to protect you.” William said, “Did he bully you?”<\/p>\n
Rose shook her head, “You\u2019ve also seen that he likes Doris, and Doris likes him. They\u2019re now close friends.”<\/p>\n
“Doris is so cute, of course he likes her. I also like Doris.” William envied how Bright came into the picture much later than himself, but now Doris was so deeply attached to him.<\/p>\n
“Doris likes you too.” Rose added.<\/p>\n
William added a comment in his mind, But not more than Bright.<\/p>\n
The rest of the ride remained silent all the way to YM Group; Rose got out the car early in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
William parked the car in the company’s underground parking lot and took the elevator up.<\/p>\n
The first thing William did when he arrived at the office was to call Bright, who sounded cheerful when he picked it up, “William, I was just about to call you, but you called first.”<\/p>\n
“Mr. Lee, let me remind you again not to bother Rose. You\u2019ve caused her a lot of trouble. If you really cared for her, stay away from her and leave her in peace.” William was clear and indignant.<\/p>\n
“Is that what she said?” Bright raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
“She said she doesn’t like you.” William was out to extinguish Bright’s arrogant attitude, “Mr. Lee, you\u2019re a sensible person, not a stalker.”<\/p>\n
“William, as long as I’m here, there\u2019s no way she will like you.” Bright snapped back, “And why do you care what I did to my woman?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1025","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1025","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=1025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
