Chapter 459
\nCome on Daddy (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 459<\/p>\n
Bright put on a proud smile when he spoke of his daughter.<\/p>\n
“Well, your family has good genes.” Rose knew that for Bright, even if Doris became ordinary after growing up, she would still be his most precious daughter.<\/p>\n
“Of course. But a wife as beautiful as you is vital.” Bright praised Rose, not forgetting her credit.<\/p>\n
“Slick talker.” Rose said, but felt sweet inside.<\/p>\n
At the noon, the family all came to the dining room. Hallie said she would be there in a few minutes.<\/p>\n
When everyone was seated, Hallie came over, holding Zoe, who hadn’t appeared for a long time.<\/p>\n
Bright wasn’t surprised by Zoe’s appearance and didn’t look at her.<\/p>\n
Rose was surprised and didn’t expect Zoe to have returned to the Lee family.<\/p>\n
But now, Zoe seemed to be more cowardly than she used to be.<\/p>\n
The fact that she had returned to the Lee family meant that Bright had cooled down.<\/p>\n
Hallie smiled and said to Zoe, “Zoe, come on. Say hello to everyone. Bright, Rose, and your little niece Doris are home today.”<\/p>\n
As Zoe turned to Bright, she hid fearfully behind Hallie and grabbed her arm tightly.<\/p>\n
Her eyes were full of fear. She was trembling lightly, not daring to look up at Bright.<\/p>\n
“Zoe, Bright is your brother. Don’t be afraid.” Hallie reached out and gently patted the back of Zoe’s hand, “Come on, let’s sit down and eat.”<\/p>\n
Hallie pulled Zoe forward. But Zoe refused to move toward the table.<\/p>\n
She became more and more frightened, “No … no. I don’t want to go there. I … I’m scared…”<\/p>\n
Zoe was afraid of Bright. At the time, Bright didn’t show any affection to his father and stepmother, and had driven Zoe out of the Lee family to suffer.<\/p>\n
Zoe had suffered a lot and had been transformed from an arrogant and unreasonable young lady into a submissive person. Her drive was greatly lessened. It seemed to be really effective.<\/p>\n
She was fearful as soon as she saw Bright.<\/p>\n
It could be said that how much she once liked Bright, how much she feared him now.<\/p>\n
“Don’t be afraid. Bright won’t hurt you.” Hallie comforted Zoe in a warm voice.<\/p>\n
“No, no, no…” Zoe shook her head fiercely, “I’ll just eat in my room.”<\/p>\n
Francis was a little upset when he looked at Zoe like this.<\/p>\n
When they found Zoe back then, they saw that she was just like the women in the refugee camps, with thin cheeks, yellow skin and a petite figure. Her silky black hair had lost its luster and was stained with dust and mud. Her face was so dirty and stained and only her eyes were bright.<\/p>\n
Hallie didn’t recognize Zoe as her own daughter. Once she did, she hugged her and cried. Tears poured down her face and she felt heartbroken.<\/p>\n
Zoe repulsed at first. But after recognizing Hallie, she bit her lip and cried loudly.<\/p>\n
Francis didn’t say anything, just urged Hallie to take Zoe home quickly.<\/p>\n
After returning home, Hallie cleaned Zoe and restored her to her beautiful appearance.<\/p>\n
But she still lived carefully and did not speak for a long time. A short time ago, she began to communicate with Hallie and could say a few words.<\/p>\n
“Don’t you hear me?” Bright saw that Zoe was still sitting on the floor, “Then I have plenty of ways for you to sit over. Do you want to try? Three seconds for you to think about it.”<\/p>\n
“No, no!” Zoe begged, shaking her head.<\/p>\n
“Then do as you’re told and sit down to eat.” With that, Bright led Rose back to her seat.<\/p>\n
“You’ll scare her like that. She can’t stand fright in her condition right now.” Rose felt Zoe was a little pitiful. But there must be something hateful about pitiful people.<\/p>\n
“But it works quickly.” Bright had caught a glimpse of Zoe immediately getting up and sitting obediently at the table, next to Stefan.<\/p>\n
She was still terrified of Bright and resisted to be so close to him.<\/p>\n
But she didn’t want to be thrown back to that place where she could only resign herself to her fate without food or warm clothes or good sleep.<\/p>\n
She didn’t want to go through that again. It was her nightmare for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n
“Let’s eat.” Francis said, “Doris, try this.”<\/p>\n
He took a piece of sweet and sour pork for Doris, golden in color and sprinkled with white sesame seeds, tempting and lovely.<\/p>\n
Doris had a sweet tooth, and sweet and sour pork was her favorite.<\/p>\n
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Doris happily ate.<\/p>\n
“Help yourself.” Francis looked at the sauce on the corners of Doris’ lips and said.<\/p>\n
After eating, Bright played chess with Francis, while Stefan watched the game from the side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1428","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1428","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=1428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
