Come on Daddy!

Chapter 21 He Had Something Personal to Discuss with Her

Bright looked the elf-like Doris and smiled.

“What surprise?”

“Come with me and you'll find out.” Doris held the ball in one hand and Bright’s hand in the other, afraid that he would leave.

“I'm going to find a beautiful aunt now.” Bright squatted down and looked straight at Doris.

After Doris heard the words “beautiful miss”, her eyes widened. “Is she handsome mister's girlfriend?”

Bright smiled and rubbed the top of her soft hair. He shook his head. “No.”

Okay, so mom still had a chance.

Doris sighed in relief, but her eyes did not leave Bright’s handsome face at all.

She felt close to this handsome uncle and she wanted to be closer to him.

“I won't take too much of your time. Would that be okay?” Mom told her to not force people to do things against their will, so it was better to ask for the handsome mister’s opinions.

Bright never liked to waste time on unimportant things, but he couldn't bear to refuse this little loli, and instead liked her for some inexplicable reason.

He shook her hand, nodded in agreement, then stood up. “Lead the way, my little princess.”

Seeing that he agreed, Doris rejoiced, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Bright was infected by her smile and also smiled.

Doris led him down the curved stairs.

At the same time, Rose was going to push William back to the ward in the nurse’s place.

As a result, the two parties met by the garden fountain, no more than five meters away from each other.

When Bright and Rose saw each other, surprise and shock flashed across their eyes.

Especially when Rose saw Doris holding Bright’s hand, her heartbeat almost stopped at that moment, as if there was an invisible hand holding her heart, making her uncomfortable as if she couldn’t breathe.

Bright stared at Rose. His dark eyes were like deep pool and gradually narrowed, staring sharply at Rose, whose face was pale.

She squeezed the handle of William’s wheelchair, getting tense, and she was afraid that Doris would call her mom.

What she was afraid of became reality!

After seeing Rose, Doris pulled away from Bright’s hand and shouted with excitement. “Mommy, look I found the handsome mister in your phone!”

Then she ran towards Rose. Rose stood stiffly; her heart was already in turmoil. Not knowing what to do, Rose just watched Doris run towards to her.

Well, even if Bright discovered the relationship between Doris and her, there was no way for her to deny that Doris was her own daughter. Nothing was more important than children.

The determined Rose was still a step slower than Jane. The latter stepped forward and held Doris in her arms, and gently reminded, “baby, don't run this fast. It hurts for mommy to see you fall down.”

Doris was hugged halfway by Jane, and her eyes moved cleverly.

Aunt Jane claimed to be her mother, so there must be a problem.

“Doris, we are now playing a game. From now on, I will be your mommy until this bad mister leaves. If you win, I will take you to see Dougie’s concert. How does that sound?” Jane used Doris’ favourite Dougie as bait.

“Then we have a deal.” Doris was prepared to sacrifice that she didn’t even recognize her mother and didn’t want the handsome mister anymore.

Jane resolved the difficult situation in this way, and also covered up the truth.

She knew Rose would worry that the story of Doris’ birth would be discovered by Bright. All she could do was stand by her friend to fully support her, help her, and protect Doris.

Rose’s stiff body began to gradually relax, her face was not as pale as before, and her expression became more relaxed.

Bright walked steadily to William, his perfect side face stained with a warm orange colour from the sun set and his sharp figure outlined by the strong contrast between light and shadow.

He was silent, but his aura was strong.

“CEO Lee, I’ve heard of you and I’ve looked forward to meeting you for a long time.” William looked up slightly, his brows dyed with warm light, appearing exceptionally gentle.

“Mr. Quinn, are you okay?” Bright had met William before.

His reputation and ability were well known in the industry. Bright liked his skills and professional competency.

“Thank you, CEO Lee for your concern. I will be discharged soon.” William thanked him. “After all, the City J Theater project is very important to your group. It’s the first time that Rose ever took on such a big project, so I’m afraid she would be too busy. I can’t be lazy as her boss and I need to take care of my people.”

Listening to what William said, Bright felt that he was declaring sovereignty.

“Mr. Quinn is really a good boss.” Bright raised his gaze and landed it on the silent Rose’s face. “Miss Linder, what do you think?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Rose, whose eyes were constricted because of guilty conscience and fear, lifted her curly long eyelashes slightly and smiled. “Mr. Quinn’s talent is hard to come by. He is also a good boss. I am very grateful to him for helping me grow.”

She was really quite something. She even praised another man “with affection” in front of him. What was him, the outstanding “husband”, in her eyes?

The thin layer of smile that Bright had in his eyes disappeared, his eyes returning to be calm as deep sea.

Even though the sun hadn't completely set at this moment and the air was still warm from traces of sunlight, nothing could hide the terrifying aura around him.

“Miss Linder, can we chat for a moment?” Bright’s adam's apple formed a sexy and sultry arc.

“Is there anything you can’t say here? They are not outsiders.” Rose wasn’t afraid of being alone with him.

“I have something personal to discuss with you.” He smiled like a scheming old fox, as if everything was under his control. “Are you sure you want me to speak here? It’s something private about you... It's

hard for me to start talking.”

William’s hands quietly clenched the armrest of the wheelchair because of Bright’s ambiguous words.

Rose was a little embarrassed because of his triumphant smile. “CEO Lee should be responsible for his words.”

“Of course, I’ll be responsible.” Bright turned around, not giving Rose the chance to hesitate.

Because his tone was solemn, she dared not gamble.

Rose struggled internally and released the handle of the wheelchair to follow behind Bright.

William’s eyes followed Rose, feeling anxious and worried.

Jane held Doris and was also extremely worried. It was Bright and Rose was at a disadvantage at any rate.

In the arc-shaped corridor with hanging vines, the two stood opposite of each other.

“What is it?” Rose looked at him while on high alert.

Bright slowly took out an A4 paper from his suit pocket and handed it to her.

Rose glanced at him suspiciously, then took the A4 paper and opened it up. When her eyes reached the last line, her pale face turned red, as if blood was dripping out.

“Rascal!” Rose shyly kneaded the A4 paper into a ball.
