Doris noticed that Bright was silent, she held onto his hand and tugged twice. Her beautiful cheeks
framed her smile, “Uncle, you don’t have to feel inferior, it’s alright if you do not know them. Uncle, you
are very handsome and this alone will let a lot of people envy to death.”
She’s truly a cute and compassionate little girl. Bright was so amused by her that he smiled from ear to
ear.
“Have you eaten yet?” Bright looked at the time.
“I ate on the airplane.” She answered.
Bright frowned as the airline meals weren’t nutritious, “That’s unacceptable. You are in your formative
years and need more nutrition. Let’s go, I’ll let you eat something delicious.”
He held onto Doris’s hands but she pulled him back, “Uncle, thanks but there is no need.”
“You thank me before eating?” Bright gently pinched her cheeks, “Uncle is also hungry, can you do me
a favor and accompany me for a meal? We’ll go somewhere nearby. It won’t be too far off.”
Doris looked at Bright with her big round eyes as if to say, really?
“Silence means consent.” Bright carried Doris up.
He looked at Doris who was in his embrace. Her eyebrows looked as if they were drawn, her eyelashes
were long and curly. She blinked and blinked. She was so adorable.
He has always been a cool person, but looking at Doris made him warm-up and felt close to her.
He felt the desire to keep her within his embrace and protect her.
“What do you feel like eating?” Bright didn’t drive and walked in big strides with her in his arms.
They walked in the busy street in full view of everyone.
“I’ll eat whatever uncle likes to eat.” Doris’s arms were around his neck and added, “I’m not picky. I’m
easy to raise.”
This made Bright laugh again and said, “Pigs are easy to raise.”
“Then I’m the prettiest pig in the world.” Doris used her small finger to prop up her nose till it looked like
a pig’s snout and then, “Oink, oink.”
This soft and cutie girl, beautiful and adorable like a little fairy. Her smile and laughter can easily melt
one’s heart.
Bright felt that he couldn’t get enough of looking at her. His worries all melt away and felt very happy.
Bright chose a family-themed restaurant and the waiter opened the glass door, “Welcome.”
“Thanks,” Doris answered sweetly.
At this time there were many patrons and when Bright carried the cute Doris in, they naturally became
the focal point. They attracted the attention of those who were in the restaurant.
Bright chose a table next to the window and after placing Doris onto the chair, he sat opposite her.
The waitress came soon after and placed the menu on the table and poured two glasses of water.
“Good day, Sir, what would you like?”
Bright took a look at the menu and ordered, “One of this kids meal, plus a portion of prawns. I will have
this set. A glass of lemon tea and a glass of milk.”
“One moment please.” The waitress took down the order and before she left, she couldn’t resist and
looked at them again.
Doris placed down the panda toy and asked, “Handsome uncle, that Miss kept looking at you. I’m so
cute and she only looked at me once!”
“But I only have eyes for you.” Bright held onto his glass and said.
“Handsome uncle, you really know how to joke…” Doris blinked like the stars, “If you keep doing this,
I’ll switch sides.”
She made an exception for her that her idol now was a handsome uncle instead of Dougie. This
handsome uncle was far too dashing and handsome, he was so masculine.
She would nearly have more feelings for Bright than Dougie, what can she do?
“Who do you like more, me or Dougie?" Bright continued to ask her.
“I really like you but you are too old. When I grow up you are already old. Uncle cannot stay single
while waiting for me. Even if you are willing, your parents would not agree. I feel that it’s better that I
choose Dougie. We are not too compatible…” Doris said softly and peeked at him.
Bright wasn’t angry, he stretched his hand and stroked her hair, “How old are you and you’re thinking of
marrying? Everyone says that a daughter is a father’s princess. Will your father agree to it?”
“I don’t have a father.” Doris shook her head.
“No father?” Has your father passed away or divorced?
Doris took off her pink-colored backpack and took out a drawing from the bag and opened it.
This was a drawing of a happy family that she drew the last time.
Bright saw a lady holding onto the hands of a little girl on a grass field with a night sky full of stars.
Doris pointed to the largest star on the drawing and said, “This is my father. She said that my father
had turned into a star to protect us. I know that mom doesn’t want me to be sad and said this. Actually,
I know that father is already dead.”
Although Doris said it casually but her eyes radiated a sadness that she was fatherless.
“Don’t be sad.” Bright doesn’t know how to console her. This was not his forte.
“Uncle, I’m alright. Although my father can’t be with us, I will always be with my mother. I want to grow
up fast and protect mom for dad. I won’t let her be bullied. I’m a strong girl.” Doris raised her arm to
show that she was strong.
She was clearly a cute little girl and yet she said that she was a strong girl.
“How about this, if future you protect your mom and I’ll protect you.” Bright looked at the strong-willed
cutie pie in front of him but his heart ached.
Although he was not her father, he hoped that he can do these for her.
“Okay.” Doris agreed immediately and stretched out her hand, “we need to shake on it.”
Bright played along and shook her little hand. He grasped her tiny but chubby hands and it felt so right.
They looked at each other and laughed. Thereafter the waitress served their meals.
When the waitress served the meal to Bright, she looked at his dashingly handsome face and her heart
raced, “Sir, your daughter is very pretty, she looks just like you.”
We look alike?
Bright squinted and looked at the cutie pie in front of him, but he wasn’t so lucky as to have such a cute
daughter.
“Thanks.”
“Your daughter must have inherited all you and your wife’s good looks and that’s why she is so cute.”
The waitress looked for an excuse to chat with him.
Rose’s name flashed in his mind.
If only they could have a daughter like Doris, except that she might not be willing to.
Bright’s thin lips hooked upwards slightly, should he take out his marriage certificate to have a legally
born baby?
